Copalis launches Protein M+, a marine polysaccharide and collagen nutricosmetic ingredient
Posted On: March 9, 2011Copalis® launches Protein M+, an anti-aging nutricosmetic ingredient. Protein M+ is an all-natural marine polysaccharide and collagen complex. It combines the same proteins and polysaccharides as those found in skin for a synergic action. Collagen fibers give the dermis tensile strength, and polysaccharides prevent moisture loss. Protein M+’s extraction process makes it soluble in aqueous phase and fully digestible. Its high bioavailability makes it ideal for oral cosmetics.
Studies conducted by the company suggest overtime, Protein M+ may help visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, dilated capillaries and age spots, thus improving skin’s moisture balance. In addition, results also show it helps repair sun-damaged skin. Several clinical studies conducted by Copalis suggest Protein M+, with added minerals and vitamins, is effective in the treatment of hair loss. While mechanism of action has yet to be proven, it is suggested the active marine complex is related to the production of dihydrotestosterone in the hair follicle. This molecule is known to cause hair loss.
EHSI Signs Option Agreement with Stem Cell Tech Developers OceanBASIS
Posted On: January 19, 2011Emerging Healthcare Solutions, Inc. (PinkSheets:EHSI.pk) announced recently that it has entered into an option agreement with OceanBASIS, a German company specializing in stem-cell and marine-collagen technologies and products.
During the 60-day option period, EHSI will conduct a due-diligence review of OceanBASIS and its prospects in order to negotiate a potential profit-sharing agreement. OceanBASIS is a biotech firm dedicated to developing and marketing sustainably derived marine natural products for the health and cosmetic industries. The company’s top projects under development include a bone scaffold designed for use as a stem cell matrix in cartilage repairing surgeries and a wound gel intended to improve healing of chronic wounds. Both products are derived from marine collagen, a purer form than the bovine collagen currently being used.
“OceanBASIS is working on the cutting edge of regenerative medicine, and we look forward to negotiating a definitive agreement with them soon,” said EHSI President and CEO Cindy Morrissey.
The burgeoning relationship between Emerging Healthcare Solutions and OceanBASIS is a result of EHSI’s recent efforts to expand its global reach, including the establishment of a business office in Frankfurt, Germany, in November that will allow EHSI to maintain long-term relationships with some of the world’s foremost stem cell researchers in Central and Western Europe.
Rousselot launches anti-aging marine collagen peptide
Posted On: March 22, 2010As a major international player within the hydrolyzed collagen industry, Rousselot, produces and markets its hydrolyzed collagens to the health and nutricosmetic industries. Recently the Group announced a new Peptan™ Cosmetic range intended for cosmetic applications. Supported by recent studies, Rousselot is launching PeptanTM SR marine (Skin Regeneration) and Peptan™ MR marine (Moisture Retention), topical versions of the Rousselot nutricosmetic active principle.
Hydrolysed collagen may boost beauty from within
Posted On: May 12, 2009Since the end of 2008, two clinical studies involving women in Japan and France have been commissioned by Rousselot to measure the effectiveness of Peptan™ Hydrolyzed collagen on skin health as well as subjective assessment.
Rousselot objectives were to precisely measure the effect of daily oral intake of 10g Peptan™ Hydrolyzed Collagen on skin and to evaluate its acceptability by users. The trials were performed in a 3 month period.
The double-blind randomized clinical studies versus placebo were carried on 80 healthy female subjects aged of 35 to 59. They were carried out by Dermscan in France and Souken in Japan, two global independent research organizations specialized in cosmetics and nutrition, having a unique approach for verifying product performance claims. Certified skin experts selected volunteers and assessed the mechanical measurements.
Moisturizing and anti aging effects as well as tolerance were measured using leading edge technologies and methods. Researchers come to the following conclusions: the results verify that regular intake of Peptan™ Hydrolysed Collagen improves the basic skin condition and structure: the skin is better hydrated, the number of micro relief furrows are reduced and the formation of deep wrinkles is prevented.
There is a growing body of science focusing on the potential benefits of nutrients to boost skin health from within, with lutein, lycopene, flavanol-rich chocolate, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) having been reported to improve skin health.

Recent Advances Pave Way for Fish Gelatin For Food
Posted On: May 11, 2009Fish gelatin reportedly possesses similar characteristics to porcine gelatine and can be an alternative to mammalian gelatine for use in food products. Recent food safety fears, such as BSE in cattle and avian ‘flu in poultry, prompted consumers and marketers to look for products containing no animal derivatives. Certain companies and institutions claim to have conclusively proven that there is no link between gelatine and BSE. There is strong evidence that gelatine has health-promoting properties. For example, the natural protein gelatine contains amino acids glycine and proline in a concentration that is around 10 to 20 times higher than in other proteins. Although fish gelatine will not completely replace mammalian gelatine, it is hopeful that one day, it might become a niche product offering unique and competitive properties to other biopolymers, as well as meeting the demand of the global halal/kosher market. Recent reports indicate the annual world output of gelatin is nearly 326,000 tons. Although gelatine has such a wide range of useful applications, pessimism and strong concerns persist among consumers with regard to its usage. This is mainly due to religious sentiments.
