Cofactor is an advanced 4-in-1 collagen support system that combines: 20 g of bioactive collagen peptides, which provide the stimulus and the building blocks for collagen; 250 mg of nicotinamide riboside (NR), a clinically proven NAD+ booster, to help improve the health and function of the cells that use these building blocks to produce collagen; 120 mg of hyaluronic acid to improve skin hydration and elasticity; and 90 mg of vitamin C, essential for collagen synthesis. Here’s what to expect when you take 1 scoop of Cofactor daily, according to scientific research.
3 weeks - Increased skin hydration
Thanks to the hyaluronic acid in Cofactor, you’ll enjoy increased skin moisture content and improved skin texture after only 3 short weeks [1].
1 month - Increased NAD+ levels
Nicotinamide riboside (NR) in Cofactor is contributing to sustained, elevated levels of NAD+, which your cells are leveraging to support hundreds of important cellular functions, including collagen production and maintenance.
2 months - Improved skin elasticity and increased dermal density
In just 2 months, collagen peptides are hard at work, improving dermal density [2] and skin elasticity [3]. Dermal density is a measure of the compactness of the dermis—a reflection of the amount of structural components like collagen and elastin in the dermis—and contributes to the overall skin quality and appearance.
3 months - Healthy scalp and smoother, thicker hair
In one study, 67% of participants reported thicker hair and 77% reported smoother hair after 3 months of supplementation with collagen peptides. Trichoscopy analysis also indicated improvements in scalp condition [4].
4 months - Smoother skin and joint support
- Diminished wrinkles and improvements in skin texture: One scoop a day for four months is contributing to perceivable improvements in skin roughness and a reduction in visible wrinkles [2]. If you’ve been taking Mosaic along with Cofactor, your skin carotenoid levels are now also 31% higher, contributing to improved tone, brightness, radiance and reduction in deep and fine wrinkles [5].
- Healthy joints and movement: People with knee conditions benefited from reduced joint stiffness and discomfort [6,7].
6 months - Improvements in cellulite and nail health
- Cellulite: In one human clinical trial, normal weight participants with moderate cellulite saw significant improvements in cellulite scores and skin waviness on their thighs after 6 months of supplementation [8].
- Smoother, healthy nails: In a study involving individuals with brittle nails, participants noticed significant improvements in nail growth and the frequency of broken nails after 6 months [9].
1 year - Support for bone health
Bone mineral density (BMD) and bone formation marker were increased in women with reduced BMD [10].
