How This Smoothie Supports Longevity (Ingredient by Ingredient)

CGN+ (Pure VERISOL® Marine Collagen + Vitamin C) - Your Skin’s Inside Job

CGN+ supplies clinically studied VERISOL® collagen peptides, the exact bioactive sequences shown to improve key skin metrics in human trials:

• Wrinkles: In a randomized, placebo-controlled trial, 2.5 g/day of VERISOL® led to a significant reduction in eye-wrinkle volume after 8 weeks and increased procollagen I, elastin, and fibrillin markers, signs of better dermal architecture. 
  
• Elasticity & Hydration: A companion double-blind RCT reported improvements in skin elasticity (primary outcome) and favorable changes in hydration and TEWL ("TEWL" stands for Transepidermal Water Loss. It refers to the amount of water that evaporates from the skin's surface into the surrounding environment. This process is a normal part of skin function, but excessive TEWL can lead to dryness and a weakened skin barrier) after 8 weeks. 
  
• Cellulite (longer term): In women with moderate cellulite, 2.5 g/day of specific collagen peptides (VERISOL®) reduced cellulite scores at 3 and 6 months, with stronger effects in women with BMI < 25. 
• Nails: An open-label study found improved nail growth and reduced brittleness after 24 weeks of VERISOL® supplementation. (Not placebo-controlled, but supportive.) 

Greek Yoghurt - Protein + Probiotics for Gut and Muscle

Strained Greek yoghurt brings high-quality protein (great for satiety and muscle maintenance) and live cultures that support a healthy microbiome, both linked to broad healthspan benefits. Harvard’s Nutrition Source highlights protein, calcium, and the benefits of fermented foods’ live bacteria. Use a natural greek yoghurt that doesn't have any added sugars.

Orange Juice - Vitamin C + Hesperidin for Vascular Health

Beyond being a rich vitamin C source (key for collagen formation), orange juice naturally provides hesperidin, a citrus flavanone under study for endothelial (blood vessel) function in randomized, crossover designs. Try to purchase orange juice that still has the fibre rich pulp and is 100% with no additives or reconstitution.

Raspberries - Anthocyanins for Cardio-Metabolic Support

Red raspberries are loaded with anthocyanins and ellagitannins (metabolized to urolithins), with meta-analyses showing improvements in cardiovascular risk markers and supportive associations in prospective cohorts. Buy organic Raspberries if they are available to you.

Banana - Potassium + Fibre for Heart and Gut

Bananas deliver potassium (blood-pressure friendly) and soluble fibre to steady post-meal glucose and feed gut microbes. Recent reviews summarize cardio-digestive benefits and the fruit’s broad nutrient profile. 

Mango - Carotenoids + Vitamin C for Skin and Immune Health

Mango brings beta-carotene (a vitamin A precursor) and more vitamin C, supporting immune function and collagen production. 

Honey - Polyphenols with Antioxidant Activity

A spoonful adds natural sweetness plus polyphenols (flavonoids, phenolic acids) that contribute antioxidant capacity in lab and emerging human data.

This smoothie combines clinically studied VERISOL® collagen peptides with vitamin-C cofactors, probiotic-rich Greek yoghurt, and polyphenol-packed fruits. Supporting skin, connective tissues, cardio and gut health. Thanks to the protein, fibre, and slow-burn carbs, it’ll keep you satisfied and steady for hours (no mid-morning crash). This delicious smoothie can be enjoyed for a complete breakfast or an afternoon pick-me-up plus it beats any store-bought, sugar-bomb by a mile with clean ingredients, clever nutrition, real flavor.
