Four active ingredients. A story behind each.

What's in it?

VC-H1 consists of 85–90% di- and tripeptides with an average molecular weight of only 316 Daltons – small enough to be absorbed intact by the body.

The amino acid profile mirrors the body's own collagen: approximately 22% glycine, 9% proline, and 11% hydroxyproline, including characteristic peptide sequences such as Pro-Hyp and Gly-Pro-Hyp, which distinguish true collagen peptides.

Additionally, the hibiscus's natural accompanying substances: anthocyanins and polyphenols with antioxidant effects, as well as natural organic acids from the flower.

What does it do?

Collagen makes up about one third of the body's total protein and acts as the scaffolding for skin, joints, cartilage, tendons, and connective tissue. Glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline are the central building blocks of this very scaffold.

The di- and tripeptides are recognized by the body as collagen building blocks and support natural collagen formation – while antioxidants help protect the collagen you already have against oxidative stress.

The effect has been clinically studied: In a 12-week double-blind study with 98 participants, measurable improvements were seen in skin hydration, elasticity, wrinkle depth, and barrier function.

What's in it?

Acerola cherries are one of nature's richest sources of Vitamin C – far more concentrated than, for example, oranges. One daily dose of Flower Power provides 170 mg of natural Vitamin C from acerola.

The fruit is picked ripe and processed gently, so that not only the Vitamin C, but also the fruit's natural polyphenols and plant compounds are preserved in the finished powder.

What does it do?

Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation, which is important for the normal function of skin, cartilage, bones, gums, and blood vessels – and also protects cells from oxidative stress.

In Flower Power, Vitamin C is also the peptides' most important co-player: The body uses Vitamin C when proline is converted to hydroxyproline – a necessary step in the formation of stable collagen.

What's in it?

Gotu kola naturally contains a group of plant compounds called pentacyclic triterpenes. In Flower Power, we use a concentrated extract with 70% triterpenes, including asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid, and related compounds.

This is the type of standardization that makes the difference between an ordinary herbal powder and a serious plant extract: We know what's in it, and we know how concentrated it is.

The raw material and the finished product are also tested for heavy metals, pesticide residues, microbiology, and unwanted contaminants to comply with relevant EU limits for food supplements.

See product documentation

What does it do?

Gotu kola is interesting because its triterpenes have been studied for their role in the skin's natural repair processes. Studies on Centella asiatica and isolated compounds such as asiaticoside and madecassoside point to activity related to fibroblasts, collagen I/III, antioxidant protection, and skin barrier function.

Madecassoside and asiaticoside are particularly known from research into wound healing and skin regeneration, where they are associated with collagen synthesis, extracellular matrix formation, and more organized tissue repair. This is why we have chosen to use an extract standardized for precisely these active triterpenes.

What's in it?

Bamboo extract naturally provides silica, and in Flower Power, we use a concentrated tabasheer extract standardized to min. 75% silica. A daily dose provides 100 mg of bamboo extract, of which 70 mg is silica as declared in the nutritional information.

Silica is a mineral naturally found in the body's connective tissues and structural tissues. Therefore, it pairs well with VC-H1 peptides, Vitamin C from acerola, and gotu kola extract in a comprehensive skin-focused formula.

See product documentation

What does it do?

Silica is interesting in a beauty context because it is associated with the structures that help give strength to skin, hair, and nails. It is not a collagen peptide itself, but a mineral supportive ingredient for the matrix where the body's own structural proteins are found.

In Flower Power, bamboo is therefore chosen as the mineral part of the formula: the peptides contribute amino acid building blocks, Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation, gotu kola contributes botanical triterpenes, and bamboo provides silica.
