1. What are peptides?

    Peptides may be considered the smallest usable form of proteins. They do not need to be digested to be absorbed. They are formed by two or more amino acids.

  2. Why do you need peptides in your diet?

    Peptides help to build skin, nails, hair and muscles. They also form enzymes and hormones that maintain body function and keep the immune system healthy.

  3. Where do peptides come from?

    Peptides come from proteins which must first be digested, over a 4-6 hour process, in order to be absorbed and used by the body. This process begins in the mouth with salivary enzymes, continues in the stomach where twenty percent of digestion occurs, and then proceeds to the small intestine where the majority of digestion occurs.

  4. How does BeautyScoopTM work?

    BeautyScoopTM supplies readily absorbable peptides in sufficient doses over a short period of time. This bypasses the 4-6 hour digestion process and jumpstarts the body’s own natural biochemical processes and boosts its own regenerative power.

  5. What are lipids?

    Lipids include biologically important oils, fats and oil-soluble nutrients. They provide necessary building blocks for healthy and beautiful skin, hair and nails.

  6. Why do you need lipids in your diet?

    Lipids are necessary for cell membrane health, vitality and flexibility, and for energy storage and hormone production.

  7. How do you get vital lipids in a heart-healthy form?

    Essential lipids from the safflower and canola flower are heart-healthy and free of trans-fats. They provide omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin E and other anti-oxidants vital for youthful skin, lustrous hair and strong nails.

  8. Which key vitamins, minerals and trace elements are included in BeautyScoopTM and why?

    B-Vitamins Riboflavin and Biotin, Vitamin E, Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc, Copper and Manganese are included as they each are instrumental in the production and maintenance of healthy and beautiful skin, hair and/or nails. Think of peptides and lipids as the building blocks and vitamins and minerals as catalysts. Healthy and beautiful skin, hair and nails need both!

  9. How is BeautyScoopTM different from Borba®?

    Borba® waters are simple vitamin-enhanced waters. There are no peptides or lipids in Borba®. BeautyScoopTM contains key vitamins and minerals, but its main active ingredients are peptides and lipids.

  10. How is BeautyScoopTM different from supplements by Dr. Kinerase, Dr. Murad, Phyto and others?

    Again, none of these products provide both peptides and lipids, the essential building blocks for healthy and beautiful skin, hair and nails.

  11. How does BeautyScoopTM differ from skincare products with topical peptides?

    The peptide enhanced formula in BeautyScoopTM, is provided in a pure powder for rapid internal absorption and maximum therapeutic benefits in the building of new and better formed skin, hair and nails. In contrast, topical peptides can only help from the outside, to repair imperfect and already damaged skin, hair and nails. BeautyScoopTM corrects the underlying problem instead of covering it up and its results are long lasting.

  12. Can I use BeautyScoopTM is addition to my current topical skincare regimen?

    Absolutely, but you are likely to find that you do not need as many moisturizers, exfoliators, retinoids and glycolics.

  13. Is BeautyScoopTM tested on animals?

    No, but more than 180 humans have participated in clinical trials!

  14. If I stop using BeautyScoopTM will the results last?

    Results will last for up to an additional 3-4 weeks, much longer than with cosmetic topical products. As with any product, after you stop using it, the results will diminish over time and revert to the original state. For longer lasting results, we recommend making BeautyScoopTM part of your daily beauty regimen.

  15. Can I be allergic to BeautyScoopTM?

    BeautyScoopTM contains soy and a minimal amount of non-fat milk so if you are allergic to these ingredients, you should not use this product.

  16. Can I mix this into any beverage?

    Yes. You can mix it into the hot or cold beverage of your choice.

  17. Why do I have to consume it within 30 minutes?

    For maximum results, your body needs highly absorbable peptides and lipids over a short period of time. Clinical research indicates that it takes significantly longer to see results if ingestion is delayed.

  18. I heard that I can take my daily dose of BeautyScoopTM in my mojito, sake or martini, is this true?

    Yes! While we don't advocate drinking alcohol daily, the fact is that BeautyScoopTM's absorption is enhanced by alcohol. So, on a special night out, you can mix BeautyScoopTM into your cocktail. In fact, we have a signature Beau-jitoTM made with BeautyScoopTM and Clement Rhum®.

  19. Why does BeautyScoopTM produce a cloudy beverage?

    This is due to the lipids, peptides and anti-oxidants. It is perfectly safe and delicious!

  20. Should I take BeautyScoopTM with or without food?

    This is completely up to you. There is no functional impact.

  21. Can I take other supplements with BeautyScoopTM?

    Although we have added only those key vitamins, minerals and trace elements proven to improve skin, hair and nails – you can take your normal daily vitamin and mineral supplement. Avoid excessive amounts of any ingredients by calculating total individual values to be certain not to exceed recommended daily allowances.

  22. Can I take more than one packet of BeautyScoopTM per day?

    We recommend only one packet per day. Some may wish to use two packets per day for up to one week, to speed up the process.

  23. Can I take this product if I am pregnant or nursing?

    While BeautyScoopTM should be safe as it contains only those ingredients found in normal, balanced diets and there are no artificial flavors, colors or sweeteners, there are no studies verifying its safety in pregnant women.

  24. Does BeautyScoopTM contain caffeine?

    No.

  25. Does BeautyScoopTM contain Splenda?

    No.

  26. Does BeautyScoopTM contain artificial sweeteners?

    No.

  27. Does BeautyScoopTM contain artificial flavors or colors?

    No.

  28. Does BeautyScoopTM contain gluten or wheat?

    No.

  29. Does BeautyScoopTM contain any ingredients from China?

    No.

  30. Does BeautyScoopTM contain trans fats?

    No.

  31. How does BeautyScoopTM stop nails from peeling?

    Peeling nails can mean a diet that’s lacking in lipids such as linoleic acid, from safflower oil. BeautyScoopTM supplies lipids to prevent peeling.

  32. How does BeautyScoopTM help brittle nails?

    A diet low in biotin can cause nails to become thin, brittle and easily broken. BeautyScoopTM supplies biotin to improve nail health and beauty.

  33. Can BeautyScoopTM help white spots on the nails?

    Most often, those spots are the manifestation of some type of trauma to the nail. But if you’re certain you didn’t injure your nails, there can be several other causes—including a diet that’s deficient in the mineral zinc. BeautyScoopTM supplies zinc for healthy nails.

  34. Can BeautyScoopTM correct nail ridges?

    Vertical ridges may be totally normal—a sign not of any health problems, but of age. BeautyScoopTM users notice that ridges improve or disappear.

  35. How can the peptides in BeautyScoopTM help to stop hair loss?

    If you have protein deficiency — it is not unusual to experience severe hair loss. That’s because the malnutrition forces the body to conserve protein (the building block of all the body’s cells, including the hair) by shutting down hair growth. And since more hair may also be shed—without being replaced—the result can be a noticeable thinning over several months. BeautyScoopTM supplies proteins in the form of usable peptides to improve thinning related to protein deficiency.

  36. How does BeautyScoopTM help dull, dry and brittle hair?

    Without adequate protein, growing hair strands won’t become as strong and resilient as they should be. Without lipids and essential fatty acids, hair may not be as shiny and manageable and it could be. BeautyScoopTM provides critical peptides and lipids, the necessary building blocks for healthy and beautiful hair.
