PURELOGICOL HISTORY

PureLogicol International Ltd was established in November 2002 by Managing Director Allan McLaughlin.

PureLogicol offers the latest advancements in age-defying cosmeceuitcal and nutri-ceutical skincare for men and women that help you look and feel great from the inside out.

Allan began his research in 1996 at the age of 18 after suffering from a childhood injury which caused pain to his leg.At this time he also contended with teenage acne. He tried countless products to remedy both problems only to be disappointed by the lack of results. This led him to do some personal research into ingredients that could offer positive results to the skin and body's wellbeing. He became increasingly intrigued about how different ingredients worked with the skin and body, which gave him his first idea for a collagen supplement that could be taken orally.

Allan says: I knew from my research that collagen proteins and amino acids make up your body's connective tissue. However I also knew that collagen cells were too large to penetrate the tissue and may not offer benefits. I further learned that if the molecular weight of the collagen and other ingredients were broken down enough, the bio-availability of the products could penetrate the intestinal wall, which in turn could benefit the skin, hair, nails and joints from within. I thought there was nothing to lose by investigating further.

By chance, Allan was introduced to a leading laboratory of skincare specialists with decades of experience. Their senior consultant is an examiner for B.A.B.T.A.C (British Association of Beauty Therapy and Cosmetology). Allan works closely with the development team on new product formulations to create some very exciting revolutionary products.

Initially testing the products on himself, he came off his pain killers and started taking the collagen supplement. One week into the program nothing happened, but around the second week his pain became less and less until the pain had completely gone. To his amazement he also noticed that his skin condition was improving.

He continued to work with the laboratory this time on topical products. They mixed collagen powder with a cream containing vitamins, antioxidants, papaya and enzymes to name but a few. This formed a face mask kit to reduce fine lines & wrinkles and to benefit the overall skin condition.

The laboratory challenge tests were impressive and showed increased skin elasticity and an overall improved complexion. Allan tested the products on others, again to find excellent feedback. This led Allan to setting up his own company PureLogicol International Ltd, allowing others to benefit from the products.

Now at 29 Allan says: I've learned so much about this industry over the last decade. Each day brings new possibilities and a new set of challenges which makes it more fun. I don't know if its fate, but I can truly say that I am passionate about this industry. I know how difficult it can be finding the right skincare, after trying countless amounts of products on my own skin.

Q: What is collagen?
A: Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and accounts for some 85% of the skin, hair, nail and joint tissue. Collagen levels deplete at a rate of 1.5% every year after the age of 25. After this age most people start to notice the appearance of fine lines and loss of skin elasticity. Joint degradation may also start to become evident due to a decrease in collagen production. Like any other proteins, collagen consists of amino acids. Altogether there are 20 different kinds in human cells; collagen is rich in amino acids. Supplying these in abundance

Q: What are amino acids?
A: Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and are utilized by every cell in the body for a variety of crucial functions. Normally we obtain amino acids from our food source, particularly those high in protein. The body breaks this protein down into their constituent parts and our cells use these to build the specific types of protein each of them needs amino acids, they are critical to our body's proper functioning. Their role includes repairing muscles, organs, nails, hair, skin, ligaments and glands. A deficiency in even one of them will severely compromise one's health. Deficient people, however, are not the only ones who choose to supplement with amino acids, some people opt to increase their intake simply for therapeutic benefits.

Q: What causes wrinkles?
A: The way your skin looks is directly related to the way your skin is supported. Wrinkles form when the natural collagen and hyaluronic acid in your skin diminish during the natural ageing process. PureLogicol body supplement offers a high quality collagen, to help support the underlying tissue, whilst our face mask and serum have the additional benefits of hyaluron to help slow down the ageing process. Collagen provides structure to your skin whilst hyaluronic acid provides skin volume. Some other factors that cause wrinkles include exposure to the sun, disease, injury, hereditary & lifestyle.

Q: Are there any side effects?
A: Generally there are no known side effects or contra-indications, however if you are pregnant or have IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) it is not recommended to take the body supplement. Please check out the PureLogicol range for alternative skincare treatments.

Q: How many capsules do I take?
A: Take 2 capsules at night before bedtime. This allows the collagen to work at its optimum level due to the body going into the alpha sleep mode (Repair Mode) which is within the first 45 ? 90 minutes of sleep and when the body boosts and repairs itself.

Q: Can I take PureLogicol with prescribed medication?
A: No known drug interactions have been reported, however if you are on any medication, it is recommended you consult your doctor prior to commencement with the PureLogicol program.

Q: Why is it important to take PureLogicol at night?
A: The body repairs itself in the first 45 - 90 minutes of sleeping (Alpha sleep mode). Taking PureLogicol at bedtime allows the collagen to be absorbed to its optimum level; therefore the maximum potential may be achieved. If missed, you can take first thing in the morning; however the same benefits may not be achieved.

Q: Can I take more than the recommended dose?
A: Due to the body's absorption rate, the dose should not exceed 7 capsules. Taking more capsules may not give you added benefit.

Q: Can I take PureLogicol with other supplements?
A: Yes, in fact our age-defying collagen body supplement works in synergy with our advanced antioxidant nutritional supplement.

Q: Can I take PureLogicol with prescribed medication?
A: No known drug interactions have been reported, however if you are on any medication it is recommended you consult your healthcare practitioner prior to commencement with the PureLogicol program.

Q: What if I can't swallow capsules?
A: You can break open the capsules and pour into water or orange juice, the powder is both odorless and tasteless, stir until dissolved.

Q: What?s the difference between the PureLogicol collagen supplement and the PureLogicol nutritional antioxidant supplement?
A: PureLogicol collagen supplement is a protein that targets the connective tissue by providing essential amino acids which help support collagen structure for the skin, hair nails and joints. The advanced antioxidant supplement protects against free radical damage that can cause damage to cells. However the antioxidant supplement will also offer skin and joint nutrition.

Q: What happens if I stop taking PureLogicol?
A: Naturally your body will go back to the way it was before you started with the program.

Q: Can PureLogicol protect against sunburn?
A: Clinical studies show that vitamins and antioxidants can help protect against sunburn. PureLogicol contains powerful antioxidants such as grape seed and pycnogenol which are scientifically proven to help protect against sunburn. PureLogicol antioxidant supplement is designed to offer extra protection and is not intended to replace sun screen. You should always use high sun protection (SPF) - Sun protection factors 25, 30, 40 & 50.

Q: How does PureLogicol - advanced antioxidant work?
A: PureLogicol works to protect the body?s cells from free radical damage caused by sun, smoke, stress and other environmental pollutants. The unique formulation contains potent vitamins, antioxidants and flavonoids called oligomeric procyanidins (OPCs) which are clinically proven to provide the body with 50 times more antioxidant protection than either vitamin C or E. PureLogicol targets the skins dermal layer to increase collagen synthesis, offers vital nutrition for a healthy mind, body & complexion.

Q: What are antioxidants?
A: Compounds that are found in fresh fruit and vegetables. They help protect against cell damage inflicted by molecules called oxygen-free radicals, which are a major cause of disease and ageing.

Q: What are free radicals?
A: Free radicals are formed when a weak bond in a molecule splits leaving an odd, unpaired electron. These electrons (free radicals) are highly unstable, and try to capture electrons from other compounds to gain stability. They 'attack' the nearest stable molecule. When this molecule is attacked, it becomes unstable causing a chain reaction of free radicals, finally resulting in the disruption of the living cell. Some free radicals can be handled by your body naturally, but many environmental factors cause an increase in free radicals that can cause damage. Free radical damage accumulates with age.

Q: How long will it take before I see results?
A: Because we are all unique in height, weight and metabolic rate, results will vary from person to person. However you should expect to see or feel results within a 6 week period if taking the recommended daily intake.

Q: How long can I take PureLogicol advanced antioxidants?
A: PureLogicol offers progressive results and can be taken on a daily basis with no harmful side effects. The supplement can be taken as part of a healthy diet and skincare regime.

Q: How long should I stay on the PureLogicol Body Supplement?
A: The benefits of the body supplement program will be maintained for as long as you are taking the capsules on a daily basis as per directions.

Q: How long will it take before I see results?
A: PureLogicol is a progressive program and results will vary from person to person. Consumers have reported beneficial results within the first month of taking the supplement.

Q: Why is it important to take PureLogicol at night?
A: The body repairs itself in the first 45 - 90 minutes of sleeping (Alpha sleep mode). Taking PureLogicol collagen at bedtime allows the collagen to be absorbed to its optimum level, therefore the maximum potential may be achieved. If missed, you can take first thing in the morning; however the same benefits may not be achieved.

In a comprehensive range of clinical studies, it has been shown that collagen hydrolysates exert a positive influence on degenerative joint disease. It has also been shown that they have a prophylactic effect on preventing damage to joints, ligaments and tendons, important for those who have to carry out strenuous work or who take part in sport activities.

UVA Radiation
UVA was once thought to have a minor effect on skin damage, but now studies are showing that UVA is a major contributor to skin damage. UVA penetrates deeper into the skin and works more efficiently. The intensity of UVA radiation is more constant than UVB without the variations during the day and throughout the year.

Damaging Effects of UVA and UVB
Both UVA and UVB radiation can cause skin damage including wrinkles, lowered immunity against infection, aging skin disorders, and cancer. However, we still do not fully understand the process. Some of the possible mechanisms for UV skin damage are collagen breakdown, the formation of free radicals, interfering with DNA repair, and inhibiting the immune system.

Collagen Breakdown
In the dermis, UV radiation causes collagen to break down at a higher rate than with just chronologic aging. Sunlight damages collagen fibers and causes the accumulation of abnormal elastin. When this sun-induced elastin accumulates, enzymes called metalloproteinases metalloproteinases are produced in large quantities. Normally, metalloproteinases remodel sun-injured skin by manufacturing and reforming collagen. However, this process does not always work well and some of the metalloproteinases actually break down collagen. This results in the formation of disorganized collagen fibers known as solar scars. When the skin repeats this imperfect rebuilding process over and over wrinkles develop.

Free Radicals
UV radiation is one of the major creators of free radicals. Free radicals are unstable oxygen molecules that have only one electron instead of two. Because electrons are found in pairs, the molecule must scavenge other molecules for another electron. When the second molecule looses its electron to the first molecule, it must then find another electron repeating the process. This process can damage cell function and alter genetic material. Free radical damage causes wrinkles by activating the metalloproteinases that break down collagen. They cause cancer by changing the genetic material, RNA and DNA, of the cell.

DNA Repair
UV radiation can affect enzymes that help repair damaged DNA.

Immune System Effects
The body has a defense system to attack developing cancer cells. These immune system factors include white blood cells called T lymphocytes and specialized skin cells in the dermis called Langerhans cells. When the skin is exposed to sunlight, certain chemicals are released that suppress these immune factors.

Collagen supplement to reduce the visible signs of ageing
PureLogicol collagen consists of water-soluble peptides which are rich sources of the amino acids glycine, L-proline and L-hydroxyproline. Hydrolyzed collagen helps the symptoms of osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, weight loss, and to assist in recovery from exercise and sports-related injuries.

PureLogicol collagen capsules contain collagen - a protein. When ingesting protein, the metabolic process of digestion breaks it down to amino-acids, used to build and maintain various tissues. Thus, when taking a collagen supplement, the body does not move the collagen as it is to the skin to replace collagen there. New collagen has to be built by the fibroblasts in the skin. It makes sense that ingesting collagen may provide essential building blocks for the production of new collagen without doing any harm.

Collagen for healthy skin, hair, nails and joints
Collagen is a protein that accounts for up to 33% of the protein in the human body. Collagen is the primary structural protein found in the connective tissues in the body (including the skin, bones, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments). Collagen makes up 75% of the skin and is one of the major factors contributing to a plump, smooth appearance of young healthy skin. Collagen’s major role in the skin is the support system in the extra cellular matrix surrounding the cells. During skin ageing, collagen breakdown and reduced collagen production, contributes to wrinkle formation and decreased skin elasticity.

Fibroblasts produce collagen which is then integrated into the extra-cellular matrix where its major function is tensile strength and support. PureLogicol collagen is simply a modified form of collagen that has been enzymatically broken down to increase the protein’s digestibility and increase the amino acids’ absorbability. Collagen has most recently been used to promote skin, hair, nail and joint health. It helps athletes recover from exercise and sports-related injuries.

Beauty from the inside out
PureLogicol supplies collagen supplements which visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles, increase skin moisture, reduce pore size and strengthen the hair, nails and joints.

Their age-defying face mask is hypo-allergenic, paraben, perfume and colour-free and contains collagen, antioxidants and hyaluronic acid to help support the underlying tissue. PureLogicol collagen face mask treatment improves skin elasticity as well as visibly reducing fine lines and wrinkles, firming and smoothing the skin.

The 100% pure collagen used in the mask comes in sealed capsules to ensure that it's fresh, and therefore more effective. The collagen is added to a skincare mask activator containing vitamins A, C and E. The mask is left on for 20 minutes and washed off with tepid water before applying the luxurious PureLogicol age-defying face serum. Your skin will feel smoother and look years younger.
