Defence

GOLD COLLAGEN® Defence is a food supplement in tablet form designed for those who live intensely: city life, screens, stress, temperature changes and a demanding lifestyle that shows on the skin and in overall wellbeing. Its formula concentrates vitamins, minerals and powerful antioxidants to help strengthen the body's natural defences, protect cells against oxidative stress and preserve skin quality over time.

Designed as a simple yet sophisticated care gesture, Defence supports your beauty routine from within, especially between liquid collagen cycles or during periods of greater demand (seasonal changes, work overload, sun exposure or pollution).

Key benefits

• Cellular protection against oxidative stress: the synergy of vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, copper, selenium, carotenoids and green tea extract helps neutralise free radicals and defend cells from daily oxidative damage.
• Immune system support: vitamins C, B6, A, zinc and selenium contribute to the normal function of the immune system, promoting greater resilience against external challenges.
• Long-term skin care: antioxidants, zinc, biotin and vitamin A help maintain healthy-looking skin, more radiant and even, protecting its integrity against the factors that accelerate skin ageing.
• The ideal complement to collagen: Defence is formulated to go alongside liquid collagen supplements Gold Collagen®, helping to prevent collagen loss and preserve their results over time.
• Easy and precise daily routine: a single tablet a day concentrates 12 active ingredients in studied doses, in a practical format for any lifestyle.

Who is GOLD COLLAGEN® Defence recommended for?

Defence is an excellent choice if you're looking for a daily antioxidant and immune boost in a convenient format, especially if:

• You live in urban environments or are frequently exposed to pollution, UV radiation, screens and stress.
• You want to protect your skin quality between liquid collagen cycles and prolong results.
• You want a formula focused on cellular defence, radiance and overall wellbeing, beyond a simple multivitamin.
• You're looking for a simple maintenance supplement to accompany your facial and body skincare routine.

How Defence works on your skin and body

• Antioxidant defence: vitamins C and E, zinc, copper, selenium, lycopene, lutein, beta-carotene and green tea extract help neutralise free radicals that accelerate cellular and skin ageing.
• Immune support: vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin B6, zinc and selenium contribute to the normal function of the immune system, strengthening the body's response against external agents.
• Energy and vitality: niacin (vitamin B3), vitamin B6 and biotin support normal energy metabolism, helping to reduce the feeling of tiredness within a balanced lifestyle.
• Skin, hair and nails: biotin, zinc and vitamin A support the maintenance of healthy-looking skin, with better tone and radiance, and contribute to the care of hair and nails.
• Synergy with collagen: by protecting cells against oxidative stress, Defence helps preserve endogenous collagen and the benefits of collagen supplements, sustaining skin firmness and quality over time.

Recommended use

• Take 1 tablet a day with water, preferably with meals.
• Incorporate Defence as part of a sustained daily routine, especially during periods of greater sun exposure, seasonal changes or prolonged stress.
• It can be combined with the liquid supplements of Gold Collagen® (such as Forte, Forte Plus, Forte Ageless, Pure Plus or RX), unless otherwise advised by a healthcare professional.
