Sea-Buckthorn-Educational

Chapter 01

Why does skin age?

From your mid-20s onward, your skin quietly begins to change. Collagen production - the protein that gives skin its structure - declines by around 1% every year.
Cell renewal slows. The fibre network of collagen and elastin loses tension. Over time, this shows up as the visible signs of ageing: fine lines, less firmness, a slower recovery from stress and sun.

This isn't a marketing claim. It's basic dermal biology.

There are two levers you can actually pull:

Support the skin from the outside (topical actives, sun protection, moisture)
Support the skin from the inside (nutrition, ingested collagen peptides, essential co-factors)

Dr.Stine's Superfood range covers lever one. Dr.Stine Collagen with Sea Buckthorn is our answer to lever two - beauty from within, formulated the way the clinical studies actually did it.

Chapter 02

Why most collagen supplements fail

You may have tried a collagen supplement before. Most likely, you gave up on it. Here's why most people do:

The studied dose

The clinical studies on collagen use a specific daily dose: 2.5g of VERISOL® B peptides. Dr.Stine Collagen provides this amount in the recommended daily serving of three tablets - the same dose used in the published research.

Fishy aftertaste

Marine collagen products are common - and often unpleasant. The fishy aftertaste is the reason a lot of collagen supplements end up abandoned in the back of a drawer after week two.

Powder inconvenience

Powder needs to be mixed. Which means it needs to taste okay in whatever you mix it into. Which most powders don't. A daily supplement that requires effort every morning is a daily supplement most people quietly drop.

Unclear collagen type

Type I? Type III? Type II for joints? Marine, bovine, or plant-mimicking? Buyers get confused, brands stay vague, and the confusion becomes an excuse not to bother. This is the specific failure profile Dr.Stine Collagen was designed to fix.

Chapter 03

What the clinical research actually shows

VERISOL® B is a specific bioactive collagen peptide - the exact form used in two peer-reviewed clinical studies on the effects of oral collagen on skin. In both studies, participants took 2.5g VERISOL® daily.

Timeline	What the clinical research measured	Result
4 weeks	Increase in skin elasticity (Proksch et al., 2014)	+10%
8 weeks	Reduction in eye-wrinkle volume (Proksch et al., 2014)	-32%
8 weeks	Increase in procollagen type I production (Proksch et al., 2014)	+65%
8 weeks	Increase in elastin production (Proksch et al., 2014)	+18%
6 months	Reduction in cellulite + increased dermal density (Schunck et al., 2015)	Significant

(2015), Dietary Supplementation with Specific Collagen Peptides Has a Body Mass Index-Dependent Beneficial Effect on Cellulite Morphology, Journal of Medicinal Food.

Two things worth noticing about these numbers:

They are measurable. Not "consumers reported improvement" - measurable, in a controlled trial.
They are gradual and cumulative. The 4-week elasticity result gets deeper by week 8, and continues to deepen through month 6.

A supplement that works this way is a routine, not a fix. Which is exactly why the 3-month subscription tier exists further down this page.

Chapter 04

Introducing Dr.Stine Collagen with Sea Buckthorn

A daily collagen supplement, formulated the way the clinical studies actually did it. Built on VERISOL® B - 2.5g per daily dose. Delivered in tablet form. No powder. No fishy aftertaste. No excuses.

Because collagen isn't the only lever, we added four supporting actives - Sea Buckthorn, Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C, and Copper - each with its own documented role in skin, connective tissue, and cellular health.

If you're already a fan of Superfood, this is its beauty-from-within sister.

90 tablets per box (30 days supply, 3 tablets daily).

2.5g VERISOL® B per daily dose.

No fish. No fishy aftertaste (Bovine source).

No powder. No mixing. Just swallow with water.

Made in Denmark to strict clinical quality standards.

Chapter 05

The five actives.

Five ingredients. Each chosen for a documented role in the skin - not for the label.

VERISOL® B Collagen Peptides

The core active.

A specific bioactive collagen peptide (Type I and III) documented in two peer-reviewed clinical trials to increase skin elasticity, reduce eye-wrinkle volume, boost procollagen and elastin production, and reduce cellulite over time. Sourced from bovine - no fish, no fishy aftertaste.

Daily dose: 2.5g

Sea Buckthorn (Havtorn)

The Scandinavian antioxidant powerhouse.

The bright orange Nordic berry contains antioxidants, omega-7 fatty acids, and rare phytonutrients that support skin hydration and radiance. It also contains vitamin C - as much as 10 times the concentration found in an orange.

Hyaluronic Acid

Moisture at the molecular level.

A molecule your body already produces. It attracts and holds water in the skin, contributing to hydration, plumpness, and suppleness. Levels naturally decline with age - supporting them from within complements the topical work Superfood does from without.

Vitamin C

The collagen co-factor your body actually requires.

Vitamin C contributes to the normal formation of collagen - meaning the collagen peptides you swallow can only be assembled into new collagen fibres if vitamin C is present. It also protects cells from oxidative stress and contributes to the normal function of the nervous system. (EFSA-approved health claims.)

Copper

The quiet workhorse.

An essential trace mineral. Supports the maintenance of normal skin and connective tissue and contributes to the normal function of the immune system. (EFSA-approved health claims.) Small amount. Big role.

Chapter 06

What to expect, and when.

Collagen works from the inside out - which means you won't see it in the mirror on day two. Here's how the clinical timeline actually unfolds.

Week 4

Elasticity

The first measurable milestone in the Proksch et al. (2014) study: a 10% increase in skin elasticity. Not visible in the mirror yet - but measurable under instrumentation.

Week 8

Visible improvement

This is the milestone most users notice. Reduction in eye-wrinkle volume (up to 32%), significant increases in procollagen (65%) and elastin (18%) production. This is where the routine starts paying visible dividends.

Month 6

Structural change

The Schunck et al. (2015) study documented a significant reduction in cellulite and increased dermal density after six months. Longer studies show continued improvement, not a plateau.

This is why we recommend the 3-month subscription - the timeline the research actually documents is a monthly routine, not a two-week trial.

Chapter 07

Meet the brains behind the brand.

Dr. Stine and Dr. Andre Ankerstjerne are the two Norwegian doctors behind Dr.Stine. Their Collagen with Sea Buckthorn was named Best Collagen at the 2026 Beauty Shortlist Wellbeing Awards.

Dr.Stine Collagen with Sea Buckthorn is their answer to the same question, from the other direction: what if the science we apply to the skin from the outside could be matched by science we deliver from the inside?

Their brand promise is the same on every product: "Vi lover ikke - vi dokumenterer." (We don't promise - we document.)

Real routines. Real timelines.

What to know before you start

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it taste like fish?

No. Dr.Stine Collagen is made from bovine peptides, not marine. It contains no fish proteins, so there is no fishy aftertaste. The tablet form is completely taste- and odour-free.

How quickly will I see results?

Clinical studies on VERISOL® collagen peptides show measurable results after just four weeks - with continued improvement after 6 months. Visible changes, such as reduction in fine lines and more even skin texture, develop gradually as collagen works from within to support the skin's natural rebuilding process.

How does tablet form compare to powder?

In tablet form, the ingredients are pressed tightly together, so you get the same daily dose with significantly less volume. This makes the product easier to take - and allows for even more active ingredients in each tablet, giving you more effect in each dose.

What types of collagen does the formula contain?

Our supplement contains Verisol® Collagen Peptides, a clinically documented form of type I and III collagen, which are the most important types for skin, nails, and hair. These peptides are optimized for absorption and effectiveness.

Can men take collagen supplements too?

Yes! Collagen is beneficial for everyone, regardless of gender. Men can use it to improve skin elasticity, joint health, and connective tissue strength, just like women.

Is it safe for daily long-term use?

Absolutely. Our formula is clinically tested and made from high-quality, natural ingredients, and is safe for daily use over the long term. It supports skin, hair, nails, and joints without side effects.

How does this compare to your Superfood face gel?

Dr.Stine Collagen with Sea Buckthorn is made with bovine collagen and contains no fish proteins, therefore has no aftertaste. The tablet form makes it completely taste- and odor-free.

What if I want to try before committing to a subscription?

In tablet form, the ingredients are pressed tightly together, so you get the same daily dose with significantly less volume. This makes the product easier to take - and allows for even more active ingredients in each tablet, giving you more effect in each dose.
