When we think about supporting healthy-looking skin, hair, and nails, our first thought is often what we put on our bodies.

But what about what we put in them?

Beauty-from-within nutrition takes a different approach by supplying the body with structural building blocks that help support healthy skin, hair, and nails from the inside out.

That’s where OVOLUX® eggshell membrane collagen comes in.

OVOLUX® is Stratum Nutrition’s clinically studied, upcycled eggshell membrane collagen ingredient designed to support skin hydration, elasticity, firmness, hair health, and stronger, healthier nails—all in a convenient 400 mg daily dose.*

Here are 10 reasons to consider a supplement formulated with OVOLUX®.

1. Supports Healthy Skin From Within
   
   Healthy skin starts with more than a good skincare routine.
   
   OVOLUX® provides a naturally occurring matrix of collagen and other bioactive compounds that help support the structural foundation important for healthy skin.*
   Instead of simply addressing the surface of the skin, OVOLUX® provides nutritional support from the inside out.
    
2. Helps Support Skin Firmness
   
   As skin naturally changes over time, supporting its structure becomes increasingly important.
   
   In clinical research, supplementation with OVOLUX® was shown to improve skin firmness, with Stratum reporting a 24% improvement in skin firmness after six weeks.*
   That gives OVOLUX® a compelling role in a proactive beauty and healthy-aging routine.
    
3. Supports Skin Elasticity
   
   Healthy skin needs the ability to stretch and return to its natural shape.
   
   OVOLUX® has been clinically shown to help improve skin elasticity, supporting skin’s natural resilience and healthy appearance.*
   
   Importantly, these benefits weren’t based on appearance or subjective perception alone – they were objectively measured in a human clinical study(1)[NM1.1] using validated instruments to assess skin elasticity and hydration.
    
4. Helps Keep Skin Hydrated
   
   Hydration is one of the foundations of healthy-looking skin.
   
   OVOLUX® has been clinically shown to help maintain skin hydration, including around the delicate eye area after six weeks of supplementation when the skin is more prone to seasonal dryness.*
   
   Better hydration can help support skin's overall texture, smoothness, and healthy appearance.
    
5. Helps Reduce the Appearance of Fine Lines
   
   Beauty-from-within isn't about trying to stop aging. It's about providing structural support for healthy skin as it naturally changes over time.
   
   Clinical research with OVOLUX® has demonstrated improvements in skin properties associated with the visible signs of aging, including helping reduce the appearance of crow's feet and fine lines.*
   
   And noticeable skin benefits have been reported in as little as six weeks.
    
6. Supports Healthy Hair
   
   OVOLUX® isn't only about skin.
   
   Its naturally occurring components also help support hair texture and overall hair health.* In men and women, clinical research has demonstrated visible improvements in hair and skin texture following daily supplementation.
   
   Because beauty-from-within should go beyond supporting just the skin.
    
7. Supports Strong, Healthy Nails
   
   Hair? Check.
   
   Skin? Check.
   
   Nails? OVOLUX® has those covered, too.
   
   OVOLUX® naturally contains nutrients such as keratin and sulfur-bearing amino acids, which play important structural roles in healthy hair and nails. Clinical research in women has also demonstrated benefits for nail strength and growth following supplementation.*
   
   That makes OVOLUX® a true hair, skin, and nail beauty ingredient.
    
8. Provides More Than Just Collagen
   
   Not all collagen ingredients are created the same.
   
   OVOLUX® naturally provides Types I, V, and X collagen, but that's only part of the story.
   
   Its eggshell membrane matrix also contains components including:
   •    Elastin
   •    Hyaluronic acid
   •    Keratin
   •    Calcium
   •    Glycosaminoglycans
   •    Sulfur-bearing amino acids
   
   Together, these naturally-occurring components provide multiple beauty-building blocks in one ingredient.
    
9. Just 400 mg a Day
   
   Some collagen products require servings measured in multiple grams.
   
   OVOLUX® delivers its clinically studied beauty-from-within benefits at only 400 mg per day.*
   
   That small daily serving makes OVOLUX® easy to incorporate into a variety of supplement formats and daily wellness routines.
   
   Sometimes a little can do a lot.
    
10. Beauty With a Sustainability Story
    
    OVOLUX® doesn't just provide beauty-from-within benefits—it gives an existing resource a new purpose.
    
    The ingredient is produced from upcycled, USDA-sourced eggshell membrane, transforming material from the egg industry into a premium functional ingredient rather than allowing it to go to waste.
    
    OVOLUX® is also Upcycled Certified™, Non-GMO, Made in the USA, Halal Certified, Kosher Certified, Ovo-vegetarian, and NutraStrong™ Collagen Verified.
    
    And the industry has taken notice: OVOLUX® was named the 2025 Beauty Innovation Awards Collagen Ingredient of the Year.
