Verisol® — Beauty from Within

Collagen is the most abundant protein in skin, but levels decline with age, leading to wrinkles, loss of elasticity and brittle nails. Verisol® provides patented, low‑molecular‑weight Bioactive Collagen Peptides® that are absorbed intact and stimulate dermal fibroblasts. These peptides are optimized to signal the body’s collagen‑producing cells, resulting in firmer, smoother skin, stronger nails and thicker hair.

How Verisol® works

Bioactive collagen peptides travel through the gut and reach the bloodstream, where they act as signalling molecules for dermal fibroblasts. This stimulates synthesis of collagen, elastin and other extracellular matrix proteins. Over time, the dermal matrix is rebuilt, wrinkles diminish and skin elasticity improves. The mechanism is illustrated below:

Evidence from clinical studies

  • Wrinkle reduction & improved dermal matrix – In a double‑blind, placebo‑controlled study of 114 women aged 45–65, daily intake of 2.5 g of Verisol® for eight weeks reduced eye‑wrinkle volume by 20% after 4 and 8 weeks and increased procollagen I and elastin content by 65% and 18%, respectively. The effect persisted four weeks after stopping supplementation.

  • Skin elasticity & hydration – A separate trial in women aged 35–55 found that Verisol® significantly improved skin elasticity within four weeks and increased skin hydration over eight weeks. Improvements were more pronounced in women over 50 (study data shown in graph below).

  • Cellulite & dermal density – In a randomized trial, women aged 24–50 with moderate cellulite took 2.5 g/day of Verisol®. After three months, the cellulite grade and skin waviness decreased and dermal density increased, with the strongest effects in women of normal BMI.

  • Nail growth and strength – An open‑label study of women with brittle nails showed that daily ingestion of Verisol® increased nail growth by approximately 12% and reduced broken nails by ~42% after 24 weeks.

  • Hair thickness – In a double‑blind, placebo‑controlled study of women aged 39–75 with thinning hair, 2.5 g/day of Verisol® increased hair thickness and total hair mass after 16 weeks.

What it means for you

  • Supports healthy skin elasticity, hydration and density for a youthful appearance.

  • Helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and promotes smoother, firmer skin.

  • Supports thicker hair and stronger nails, reducing brittleness and breakage.

  • Improves cellulite appearance by supporting dermal density from within.

AvoB™ — Supporting Metabolic Health

Avocatin B (AvoB™) is a bioactive compound extracted from avocados. It targets metabolic flexibility by inhibiting fatty‑acid oxidation (FAO) in mitochondria, thereby shifting fuel utilization towards glucose. This helps restore insulin sensitivity and improves glucose metabolism.

How AvoB™ works

AvoB™ directly inhibits a key enzyme complex in the mitochondrial fatty‑acid oxidation pathway. By slowing down FAO, cells are encouraged to use glucose more efficiently, which improves glucose tolerance and helps control body weight.

Evidence from research

  • Preclinical evidence – In mice fed a high‑fat diet, AvoB™ supplementation improved glucose tolerance, enhanced insulin sensitivity and prevented weight gain. Liver and skeletal‑muscle tissues showed decreased fatty‑acid oxidation and increased glucose utilization (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov).

  • Human safety trial – A double‑blind, placebo‑controlled trial assessed AvoB™ at 50 mg and 200 mg per day for 60 days. The compound was well‑tolerated with no dose‑limiting toxicity, establishing its safety profile for use as a functional food ingredient (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov).

  • Metabolic health benefits – Emerging evidence suggests that AvoB™ may support healthy blood glucose levels, metabolic flexibility and weight management when combined with diet and exercise.

Micellar Casein Isolate (MCI) — Sustained Protein for Satiety & Recovery

Protein quality matters. Our latte uses Arla MicelPure™ Micellar Casein Isolate, a high‑quality dairy protein that preserves the native micelle structure of casein and contains minimal whey. This means slower digestion, smooth mouth‑feel and a clean, milky taste.

How MCI works

Casein proteins form micelles containing casein molecules and colloidal calcium phosphate. These micelles clot in the stomach and digest slowly, providing a steady release of amino acids over several hours. This sustained amino‑acid profile helps promote satiety and supports overnight muscle recovery. An illustration of micellar casein’s slow release is shown below:

Evidence for MCI benefits

  • Satiety & appetite control – A randomized crossover trial comparing 24 g protein preloads from micellar casein, whey, soy and pea found that micellar casein and pea proteins significantly reduced four‑hour appetite scores and increased the satiety hormone peptide YY compared with soy, while whey had no significant effect (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov).

  • Overnight muscle recovery – A randomized controlled trial in endurance athletes showed that pre‑sleep casein ingestion maintained elevated plasma amino‑acid levels throughout the night and increased overnight myofibrillar and mitochondrial protein synthesis by 18 % and 23 % compared with placebo  (pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). Interestingly, both casein and whey increased synthesis equally, debunking the myth that one is necessarily superior (pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov).

  • Native micelle & calcium – MCI contains >85 % casein, retains the native micelle structure with colloidal calcium phosphate, and is naturally low in lactose. This provides a rich source of protein and milk‑native minerals without the digestive upset some may experience with standard dairy proteins.

What it means for you

  • Supports satiety and reduces snacking thanks to the slow‑release digestion of casein (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov).

  • Provides sustained amino‑acid supply overnight, supporting muscle recovery and growth (pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov).

  • Delivers high‑quality protein with a clean taste, naturally low in lactose and high in milk‑native calcium.

Cold Brew Coffee & Natural Energy Boost

Cold‑brew coffee forms the foundation of our latte, delivering a smooth taste and a moderate, natural caffeine kick. Cold brew is brewed by steeping coarse ground beans in cold water for 12–24 hours, yielding a coffee concentrate that is diluted before consumption. This brewing method makes the drink less acidic and less bitter than hot coffee.

  • Moderate caffeine (≈100 mg) – A typical cold brew provides about 100 mg of caffeine per cup, similar to a hot brewed coffee. Our latte contains 100 mg of caffeine, delivering a natural energy boost without the jitters associated with higher doses. An eight‑ounce cup of hot coffee contains about 95 mg of caffeine, and low to moderate doses (50–300 mg) can increase alertness, energy and the ability to concentrate (nutritionsource.hsph.harvard.edu).

  • Smooth energy & focus – Caffeine is a well‑studied stimulant. In moderate amounts (37.5–400 mg per day) it enhances mood, raises energy levels and improves physical and mental performance (health.clevelandclinic.org). Caffeine works by blocking adenosine, reducing fatigue and promoting the release of neurotransmitters that improve mood and focus (health.clevelandclinic.org).

Our cold‑brew base not only tastes great but also complements the functional ingredients in Metavo’s latte. The 100 mg caffeine content provides a gentle pick‑me‑up that pairs perfectly with the satiating casein proteins and metabolic benefits of AvoB™.

The Synergy in Metavo Cold‑Brew Latte

By combining Verisol® with Micellar Casein Isolate and AvoB™, Metavo’s cold‑brew latte offers a convenient way to support beauty, satiety and metabolic health in one delicious drink:
