30–60 Minutes After First Serving (Polypodium leucotomos, 480mg)
+ Ingredient studies show this botanical is absorbed within ~30 minutes and supports the skin’s normal antioxidant response to sun exposure for approximately two hours.†
2–4 Hours After First Serving (Niacinamide, 500mg)
Orally supplied niacinamide can raise circulating NAD⁺ levels within several hours, supporting cellular energy metabolism and enzymes involved in normal DNA-repair processes when the skin is challenged by sunlight.
≈2 Weeks (Ceramosides™ Phytoceramides, 30mg)
In human research, daily use for 14–15 days was associated with improved skin hydration and softness, alongside a downward trend in transepidermal water loss.
4–8 Weeks (VERISOL® Collagen, 2.5 g + AstaReal® Astaxanthin, 4mg)
Consistent intake over one to two months has been linked to smoother-looking fine lines, greater elasticity, and a higher minimal-erythema dose—a research marker of skin resilience to UV exposure.
≈90 Days — One Skin-Renewal Cycle (Full Multi-Nutrient Matrix)
After three months, participants in ingredient studies commonly reported firmer feel, more even tone, and visibly smoother skin, while dermal carotenoid levels reached a plateau consistent with ongoing antioxidant support.
Beyond 90 Days (Continued Daily Intake)
Keeping up the daily routine helps maintain healthy collagen structure, barrier function, and antioxidant/NAD⁺ reserves; benefits observed in ingredient studies tend to diminish when servings are missed.
Consistency counts: Advanced Skin Nutrition is formulated for steady, cumulative support. Always pair oral nutrients with a broad-spectrum topical sunscreen and other sun-safe practices.

Advanced Skin Nutrition is a daily, science-based powder with 18 clinically studied actives for visible skin, hair, and nail support. It helps to support collagen structure, firmness, hydration, even tone, and defenses against oxidative and UV stress.
Advanced Skin Nutrition (ASN) is a daily, science-based powder supplement that combines 18 clinically studied actives, including VERISOL® collagen peptides, Ceramosides™ phytoceramides, natural astaxanthin, a carotenoid trio (lutein, zeaxanthin, lycopene), bamboo-derived silica, and broad-spectrum antioxidant phytonutrients from red orange, green tea, maqui berry, and grape seed. Each serving also contains coconut-derived MCT powder, designed to help improve the dispersion and absorption of fat-soluble nutrients. Taken together, these ingredients help support healthy collagen structure, skin firmness, hydration, and even tone, while supporting the skin’s natural response to everyday oxidative and UV stress.†
† These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Benefits described are drawn from published studies on individual ingredients; individual results may vary.
Research-matched dosing. All 18 actives are included at, or above, the daily amounts studied in peer-reviewed human trials—no guessing whether you’ve reached the evidence-based threshold.
Full-label transparency. Every milligram appears on the Supplement Facts panel; there are no proprietary blends or trace-level “fairy dust.”
One-scoop convenience. Collagen peptides, phytoceramides, carotenoids, polyphenols, niacinamide, key vitamins/minerals, and an MCT carrier for bioavailability are combined in a single daily serving, reducing the need for multiple products.
Verified quality. Each lot is produced in a U.S. cGMP facility and third-party tested for identity, potency, heavy metals, and microbes; batch Certificates of Analysis are available on request.

If you prefer a supplement that shows its work, lists every dose, and packs a complete dermal-support stack into one scoop, ASN was designed for you.†
† These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
ASN offers both rapid and long-term support for sun-exposed skin.
Rapid, same-day support — Polypodium leucotomos (PLE).
A 480mg serving of PLE is absorbed in about 30 minutes. Ingredient studies show it helps support the skin’s natural response to ultraviolet (UV) light for roughly two hours after ingestion.†
Steady, long-term support — carotenoids + niacinamide.
Astaxanthin (4mg), lutein, zeaxanthin, lycopene, and niacinamide build up gradually in the epidermis and dermis. Clinical research has reported measurable increases in minimal-erythema dose (the UV level that causes reddening) and reductions in UV-related oxidative stress after 4–8 weeks of daily use.† Niacinamide further supports normal DNA-repair and immune pathways that may be taxed by sunlight exposure.†
Putting it together.
Use ASN daily to establish a resilient baseline, and rely on PLE’s fast-acting boost whenever you anticipate higher-intensity sun exposure. Always combine oral nutrients with a broad-spectrum topical sunscreen and other standard sun-safe practices.

Shipping usually takes 3-5 business days depending on your location.
Although ASN is formulated for skin, two core ingredients have also been studied for hair and nail support, so many users notice healthier-looking nails and shinier, smoother hair:
VERISOL® collagen peptides – 2.5 g
In a six-month human study, this exact dose cut nail brittleness by about 42 % and increased nail-growth rate by roughly 12 %. The same low-molecular-weight peptides supply sulfur-rich amino acids and signalling fragments that help support normal hair-shaft structure.†
Ceramosides™ phytoceramides – 30mg
Beyond boosting skin hydration, a 12-week double-blind trial found the identical 30mg daily intake improved hair gloss, strength, and overall appearance compared with placebo.†
Because skin, hair, and nails all rely on collagen, ceramides, and balanced lipids, keeping ASN in your daily routine can help support visibly stronger nails and smoother, more lustrous hair—an added bonus to its primary skin benefits.†
† These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease; individual results may vary.
(Claims describe normal-body functions observed in ingredient studies; individual results may vary.†)
Eye comfort & blue-light filtering – The carotenoid trio (lutein 10mg, zeaxanthin 2mg, lycopene 6mg) accumulates in the macula, where it helps filter high-energy blue light and supports visual performance under glare and long screen sessions.†
Stronger nails & healthier-looking hair – VERISOL® collagen peptides (2.5 g) have been shown to reduce nail brittleness and promote growth, while Ceramosides™ phytoceramides (30mg) support hair gloss and strand strength.†
Smoother body skin – In clinical research, the same 2.5 g VERISOL® dose improved the appearance of cellulite and overall thigh firmness after three to six months.†
Cellular energy & DNA-repair support – Niacinamide 500mg replenishes NAD⁺, a co-factor needed for normal energy metabolism and the enzymes that help maintain DNA integrity after UV or lifestyle stress.†
Whole-body antioxidant network --
• Astaxanthin, lutein, zeaxanthin, and lycopene work in cell membranes.
• Green-tea EGCG, red-orange flavonoids, grape-seed OPCs, and maqui delphinidins help neutralize free radicals in blood and connective tissue.
• Zinc (picolinate) and selenium (selenium-methionine) support the body’s own antioxidant enzymes.†
Collagen & connective-tissue maintenance – Bamboo-derived silica (≈10mg elemental) and collagen peptides support normal collagen cross-linking, benefiting joints, tendons, and keratin structures as well as skin.†
Immune-barrier support – Vitamins C and D₃, plus zinc and niacinamide, contribute to normal immune function and intact epithelial barriers.†
Efficient absorption – A 2g coconut-derived MCT carrier enhances bioavailability of fat-soluble antioxidants such as astaxanthin, minimizing the need for multiple separate products.†
ASN is therefore positioned as a daily, research-level nutritional upgrade that complements healthy eating and topical care—supporting eyes, hair, nails, connective tissue, antioxidant status, and cellular energy, while its primary focus remains visibly healthier skin.†
† These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
Think of ASN as a daily skincare habit in powder form: benefits build gradually and depend on consistency. In clinical trials on the individual ingredients, participants typically began to see higher hydration in about 2 weeks, smoother-looking lines at 4–8 weeks, and firmer feel over 2–3 months—when the full daily dose was taken without breaks. If you stop supplementing, collagen density, barrier lipids, and antioxidant stores can drift back toward baseline over the following weeks to months. To help maintain the gains, keep ASN in your routine the same way you do sunscreen or moisturizer.†
† These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease; individual results may vary.
Side effects: Stop taking ASN immediately and contact your healthcare professional if you experience any unexpected reaction (e.g., persistent digestive upset, skin changes, or allergy-like symptoms). Bring them the Supplement Facts so they can pinpoint any possible trigger.
Slow results: Most benefits reported in the clinical studies (better hydration in ~2 weeks, smoother lines in 4–8 weeks, firmness gains over 8–12 weeks) depend on taking one full scoop every day, pairing it with a balanced diet, adequate water, and daily sunscreen. If you’ve been consistent for at least eight weeks and still aren’t seeing change, email support@atikawellness.com with your dosing routine, diet, and lifestyle details—we’ll help troubleshoot timing or other factors.†
† These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
Yes. Advanced Skin Nutrition supports skin wellness from the inside, but it is not a substitute for topical products. Continue using a broad-spectrum sunscreen, antioxidants, moisturizers, and any other dermatologist-recommended routine. ASN is intended to complement those external steps by providing daily nutritional support that works alongside proven surface-level protections.
† These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
A balanced diet is essential, yet even the cleanest menu seldom reaches the clinically studied intakes used in skin-nutrition trials:
You would need about 7 oz (200 g) of wild salmon every day to equal the 4mg of natural astaxanthin supplied in one scoop of ASN.
Matching the 30mg of purified Ceramosides™ ceramides would require the ceramide content of roughly 20 slices of whole-wheat bread daily—and raw food ceramides are less bioavailable than the gluten-free, standardized form used in ASN.
Achieving 2.5 g of VERISOL® collagen peptides—the specific fingerprint validated in six human studies—would mean large protein shakes or home-made bone broth, neither of which guarantees the same peptide profile.
Reaching our carotenoid trio target (10mg lutein / 2mg zeaxanthin / 6mg lycopene) would take about 3 cups of cooked spinach plus half a cup of tomato paste every single day, and still might not match the clinically balanced ratio.
Standardized polyphenols such as 100mg Red Orange Complex® or 100mg maqui berry provide antioxidant activity well beyond typical single-fruit servings.
ASN is formulated to help bridge these evidence-based gaps—delivering each active in the same form and dose used in peer-reviewed studies—so the nutrients you obtain from whole foods are complemented by research-level support. It is a targeted reinforcement, not a replacement, for healthy eating.†
† These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Benefits discussed derive from studies on individual ingredients; individual results may vary.
Yes. Advanced Skin Nutrition works from the inside and does not interfere with topical ingredients, so you can keep using sunscreen, antioxidants, retinoids, moisturizers, or any dermatologist-recommended products. In fact, clinical data suggest the best results come from pairing daily oral support with a consistent topical routine—including a broad-spectrum SPF of 30 or higher. If you’re under a doctor’s care for prescription creams (e.g., tretinoin, hydroquinone), simply show your provider ASN’s Supplement Facts to confirm it fits your overall regimen.†
† These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
ASN combines 18 clinically studied actives at research-level doses to support smoother lines, deeper hydration, more even tone, and stronger antioxidant defenses.
Percentages noted below describe outcomes observed in published human studies on the individual ingredients; actual results vary from person to person.
VERISOL® collagen peptides — 2.5g
Low-molecular-weight (~2 kDa) peptides studied for visible wrinkle smoothing and improved skin elasticity. In those trials, participants taking 2.5g daily experienced up to ~20% smoother crow’s-feet and a 10–15% lift in elasticity within eight weeks.
Ceramosides™ phytoceramides — 30mg
Plant-derived lipids that help rebuild the skin’s moisture barrier. At this dose, volunteers recorded higher hydration (~16%) and lower transepidermal water-loss (~22%) in as few as 15 days.
AstaReal® astaxanthin — 4mg
A red carotenoid antioxidant that accumulates in skin and eyes. Twelve-week studies at 4mg/day reported visibly firmer skin and shallower wrinkle appearance, alongside support for the skin’s normal response to oxidative stress. Its fat-soluble form pairs with ASN’s MCT carrier to enhance absorption.
Polypodium leucotomos extract — 480mg
Fern polyphenols that help support the skin’s natural antioxidant and photo-adaptive responses. Research shows benefits beginning within hours of a single serving; always use alongside broad-spectrum sunscreen.
Green-tea EGCG — 150mg
Concentrated catechins that have been linked to reductions in the appearance of visible redness over 8–12 weeks and to improvements in hair-strand strength in pilot work.
Red Orange Complex® — 100mg
Standardized Sicilian blood-orange flavonoids; one-month supplementation was associated with a measurable drop in sun-triggered redness and an increase in overall luminosity.
Grape-seed OPCs 100mg + maqui berry 100mg
Rich sources of proanthocyanidins and delphinidins that help reinforce systemic antioxidant capacity and support healthy micro-circulation in the skin.
Bamboo-derived silica — 120mg (≈10mg elemental)
Provides bioavailable silica, a trace mineral involved in collagen cross-linking. A nine-month study found increases in hair tensile strength and reductions in nail brittleness at similar intakes.
Carotenoid trio — lutein 10mg · zeaxanthin 2mg · lycopene 6mg
Naturally occurring pigments that accumulate in the epidermis and help filter high-energy light. Multi-carotenoid studies have reported improvements in skin hydration, tone and photo-stress resilience within 10–12 weeks.
Niacinamide (flush-free) — 500mg
A high-potency form of vitamin B3 that replenishes cellular NAD⁺, a co-factor required for energy metabolism and DNA-repair enzymes. Human studies show smoother tone and a stronger lipid barrier after consistent use.
Vitamin C 500mg & vitamin D₃ 1 000 IU
Vitamin C supports collagen synthesis and antioxidant recycling, while vitamin D₃ helps maintain normal cell-turnover processes, especially in low-sun seasons.
β-carotene (pro-vitamin A) — 6 000µg RAE
A convertible form of vitamin A that the body turns into retinol as needed for skin renewal and immune function, staying well below upper-limit safety thresholds.
Zinc picolinate 5mg & selenium-methionine 75µg
Highly absorbed minerals that activate endogenous antioxidant enzymes and work in concert with the carotenoid–polyphenol network.
Medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) — 2g
Coconut-derived fats that enhance absorption of fat-soluble nutrients and give the powder a creamy, dairy-free texture.
All ingredients are disclosed at full study-matched doses — no hidden blends, gluten, soy, or artificial flavors.

Advanced Skin Nutrition supplies 2.5g of VERISOL® bioactive collagen peptides — the same daily amount evaluated in six double-blind, placebo-controlled human trials.¹ These ~2 kDa peptides circulate to the dermis, where research shows they help support normal fibroblast activity and the body’s own production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. In those studies, participants taking 2.5g per day reported measurable improvements in skin elasticity, wrinkle appearance, hydration, and nail strength within 4–8 weeks.¹ VERISOL® delivers this support at a fraction of the 10–20g scoops common in protein collagen powders, keeping calories and serving size low while matching study-validated intakes.
VERISOL® is produced by Gelita, and—according to supplier documentation—is derived from pasture-raised, grass-fed bovine hides sourced in North and South America; records of feed practices are kept on file. This designation is descriptive and does not represent an official USDA grass-fed certification.
¹ Key references include Proksch 2014 (wrinkles & elasticity), Schunck 2015 (cellulite), Hexsel 2017 (nails), and other peer-reviewed trials available on our Science page.
† These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Results are based on studies of the individual ingredient; individual outcomes may vary.
Targeted peptide profile – An enzymatic process yields a consistent ≈2 kDa spectrum rich in proline-hydroxyproline peptides, the fragments studied for dermal support.
Clinically validated small dose – Skin-focused benefits were documented at 2.5g/day; larger 10–20g “protein” scoops mainly add extra calories without stronger cosmetic outcomes.
Formulation efficiency – The low dose leaves space for ceramides, carotenoids, polyphenols, niacinamide, and other actives in one daily scoop.
Well-tolerated – Human trials reported no serious adverse events, and the smaller serving helps minimize the digestive heaviness some users feel with mega-scoop collagen drinks.
Transparent sourcing – VERISOL® is produced by Gelita from pasture-raised, grass-fed bovine hides sourced in North and South America. (“Grass-fed” reflects supplier documentation; it is not a USDA grass-fed certification.)
Why we specify AstaReal® astaxanthin (4 mg) instead of a generic or synthetic source†
AstaReal® is natural astaxanthin extracted from the micro-alga Haematococcus pluvialis cultivated in closed, GMP-certified facilities in Sweden and the United States. It is the same material used in more than 60 peer-reviewed human studies, including a 12-week trial in which a 4mg daily dose was associated with visibly firmer skin, shallower wrinkle appearance, and improved photo-stress resilience.†
We selected AstaReal® because it offers:
Documented clinical pedigree – The majority of published work on skin, eye, and recovery benefits relies on this exact brand, allowing ASN to match study conditions gram-for-gram.
Verified purity and traceability – Each lot is non-GMO, screened for heavy metals, and produced under ISO and cGMP controls. By contrast, commodity powders may combine multiple open-pond sources with variable carotenoid profiles, while fully synthetic astaxanthin—derived from petrochemical intermediates—is not permitted for use in U.S. dietary supplements.
Efficient absorption – AstaReal® supplies the free-form (non-esterified) molecule that human data show reaches the bloodstream more readily, especially when combined with ASN’s 2g of MCT oil, which enhances uptake of fat-soluble antioxidants.†
In short, AstaReal® provides a clean supply chain, extensive clinical backing, and predictable bioavailability—advantages unverified generic or synthetic forms cannot currently match.

Below is a compliance-safe, copy-ready version in U.S. English. Changes:
Reframed “generic powders” comparison as a statement of typical composition, not superiority.
Replaced “moisture loss” with “transepidermal water loss” (more precise).
Removed “difficult to obtain” (subjective) and kept verifiable facts.
Switched “fibre” → “fiber.”
Ceramosides™ is a patented, gluten-free complex of wheat- and rice-derived ceramides evaluated in 2 randomized, placebo-controlled studies at the same 30mg daily dose used in ASN. In those trials, participants showed roughly 16% higher skin hydration and 22 % lower transepidermal water loss in as few as 15 days, with continued improvement at 8 weeks.†
Why we chose this branded ingredient:
1.Study-matched micro-dose – Commodity wheat or rice extracts often contain only trace ceramides and may require several hundred milligrams per serving to reach comparable levels. Ceramosides™ delivers clinically measured benefits at a fraction of that weight.
2.Purity and traceability – Each lot is produced under ISO and cGMP standards, purified to remove gluten proteins and excess plant fiber, and shipped with full batch documentation.
3.Documented bioavailability – The patented process converts bulky plant ceramides into a smaller, highly absorbable form that blood tests show reaches the skin’s lipid barrier more efficiently than untreated ceramide flour.
Using Ceramosides™ lets ASN provide a clinically researched, low-dose ceramide source with proven absorption and reliable quality —advantages unstandardized alternatives do not document.

For many people, yes. One daily scoop delivers research-level amounts of collagen peptides, phytoceramides, astaxanthin, Polypodium leucotomos, carotenoids, niacinamide, and polyphenol antioxidants. Buying separate products to match those doses can cost well over $300 per month, based on current retail pricing. ASN combines them in a single, clearly labeled serving — cutting capsule count, countertop clutter, and overall cost—unless your healthcare professional advises otherwise.†
Most multivitamins and greens powders are formulated for general nutrition. Advanced Skin Nutrition is purpose-built for visible skin support: every active is included at the level tested in peer-reviewed human trials, and every milligram appears on the label — no proprietary blends or trace-level sprinkling.†
† These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
The 16 mg tomato-paste study (Rizwan 2011) is a useful proof-of-concept that dietary lycopene can help the skin manage UV-related stress. Most everyday diets, however, deliver only 1–3 mg of lycopene, and several clinical papers report skin-benefit signals in the 4–10 mg range.¹ ASN provides 6 mg of standardized lycopene plus a balanced mix of other carotenoids (lutein, zeaxanthin, astaxanthin), polyphenols, and MCT oil to enhance absorption. The goal is a synergistic carotenoid spectrum that fits comfortably into a once-daily scoop — not a mega-dose of a single pigment.
This approach keeps the serving practical, places each carotenoid within published safety margins, and still supports the skin’s normal antioxidant defenses. If future research shows a clear advantage to a higher lycopene intake within a multi-nutrient blend, we’ll revisit the level. For now, 6 mg is a research-backed, diet-friendly amount that works alongside the rest of the ASN matrix.
¹ Example: Palombo 2007 (10 mg lutein/zeaxanthin blend + 2 mg lycopene) and other multi-carotenoid trials showing improved hydration, tone, and minimal-erythema dose at total carotenoid intakes in the 4–10 mg range.
† These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Results may vary.
The 30mg trial (Kim & Kim 2012) shows that dietary β-carotene can influence wrinkle appearance and skin elasticity. Most diets, however, supply only 1–3mg per day, and several multi-carotenoid studies report skin-support or photo-protection benefits in the 4–10mg range.¹
ASN delivers 6 mg of natural β-carotene alongside lutein, zeaxanthin, lycopene, and astaxanthin, plus MCT oil to aid absorption. This balanced-spectrum approach is designed to:
Provide a daily intake well above typical diet — while staying far below the 20–30mg mega-doses that raised safety flags in heavy smokers.²
Work synergistically — different carotenoids localize to complementary skin layers and quench distinct free-radical species.
Leave room in one scoop for clinically relevant amounts of collagen, ceramides, niacinamide, and polyphenols, rather than crowding the formula with a single pigment.
If future research shows a clear advantage to higher β-carotene within a blended formula, we’ll revisit the level. For now, 6mg fits published efficacy ranges, supports antioxidant reserves, and keeps ASN safely inside current carotenoid-intake guidelines.
¹ Examples: Palombo 2007 (10mg lutein + zeaxanthin, 2mg lycopene) and Tominaga 2017 (4mg astaxanthin), both showing skin-hydration, tone, or UV-tolerance benefits at total carotenoid intakes under 10mg.
² ATBC Study Group 1994 and CARET 1996 linked 20–30mg/day of synthetic β-carotene in heavy smokers or asbestos workers to higher lung-cancer risk. ASN’s 6mg is natural, blended, and below levels of concern.
