Collagen Cofactor Complex™:
Complete Cellular Support for Skin & Structure

A multi-pathway methodology for skin health and structural integrity.

Molecular Methodology

Conventional approaches rely on raw material input. Our protocol addresses the complete biological pathway: signalling, synthesis, and stabilisation

Structural Substrate

10,000 mg Hydrolysed Collagen Peptides

Provides bioavailable collagen peptides

Enzymatic Activation

300mg Vitamin C

Enables hydroxylation, the process that allows collagen to stabilise and form properly

Mineral Architecture

10:1 Zinc-Copper Equilibrium

Supports cross-linking, the process that binds collagen fibres together for strength.

Matrix Stabilisation

10 mg Silicon (Living Silica™)

Supports structural organisation of collagen fibres

Cellular Regulation

450 μg Biotin

Contributes to cellular turnover and keratin infrastructure.

Radical Transparency

Precision without proof is marketing. Precision with disclosure is integrity.

Structural Substrate

10,000 mg Hydrolyzed Bovine Collagen Peptides (COLLinstant®)

We use clinically studied COLLinstant® hydrolyzed collagen peptides.

These peptides provide concentrated glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline, the dominant amino acids in dermal collagen. Beyond serving as structural raw material, collagen peptides also function as biological signals, with circulating dipeptides such as Pro-Hyp and Hyp-Gly stimulating fibroblasts to support the body’s own collagen and hyaluronic acid production.

Ten grams is not symbolic. It reflects the upper dose range used in clinical studies examining skin density, elasticity, and dermal structure.

Enzymatic Activation

300 mg Vitamin C

Collagen requires hydroxylation (a stabilisation step) before it can form a functional structure.
Without sufficient Vitamin C, newly formed collagen lacks strength and integrity.

The body can only absorb a limited amount Vitamin C at once. Plasma levels approach saturation between 200–400 mg, as SVCT1 transport reaches capacity.

At 300 mg, this dose aligns with that physiological window; supporting effective collagen stabilisation without excess.

Mineral Architecture

10 mg Zinc | 1 mg Copper

Collagen integrity depends on more than synthesis.
Zinc supports protein production and regulates matrix turnover, including enzymes (MMPs) that control collagen breakdown during stress and inflammation.

Copper activates lysyl oxidase, the enzyme that enables cross-linking of collagen fibres for strength and stability.

The 10:1 ratio reflects how these minerals function together. Because zinc and copper compete for absorption, maintaining balance supports connective tissue structure without disrupting mineral equilibrium.

Matrix Stabilization

10 mg Silicon (from Living Silica™ Acacia Gum-OSA)

Silicon supports the organisation of collagen fibres within the extracellular matrix (ECM). 

Silicon supports fibroblast-driven production of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), including hyaluronic acid, supporting hydration at the level of synthesis. In contrast, orally ingested hyaluronic acid is largely broken down during digestion, with only a limited proportion reaching the skin.

Plant-derived silica sources such as bamboo which exist in rigid, insoluble forms that are poorly absorbed, whereas OSA remains soluble and available for connective tissue metabolism.

Lemon & Mint — Seasonal Formulation

Vita Katakyst lemon and mint flavor

The formulation is unchanged. What changes is the sensory experience.

This micro-batch introduces two natural flavor additions: natural lemon flavor and natural peppermint flavor. Both are listed ingredients — nothing undisclosed, nothing synthetic.

To sweeten without compromising the zero-sugar profile, we use a single ingredient: Rebaudioside A at ≥97% purity, the highest commercially available stevia fraction. It contributes no glycaemic load and nothing that interferes with the formulation’s function.

This is not a reformulation. It is the same protocol, with a cleaner entry point for summer mornings.

Available in limited quantities.
