CalmGut Glow™ | Skin, Hair & Gut Health Support

Radiance built from the inside out.

CalmGut™ Glow targets the skin-gut axis with clinical doses of the nutrients your skin actually uses to build itself — the amino-acid building blocks of collagen, the cofactors that make collagen synthesis possible, and the prebiotic fiber that supports the gut foundation behind every "glow from within" claim. Instead of delivering pre-formed animal collagen, Glow gives your body the raw materials and cofactors to produce its own: the lysine-proline-glycine amino triad, vitamin C, silica, copper, hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and clinical-dose antioxidants. The result is stronger, more hydrated, visibly radiant skin — supported by a healthier gut microbiome.

What It Supports

• Skin hydration and elasticity
• Healthy skin barrier function
• Collagen formation and structural integrity
• Antioxidant defense against skin aging
• Nutrient absorption and the gut-beauty connection

Ingredients (Per Serving)

L-Lysine HCl — 1,000 mg

An essential amino acid your body cannot produce on its own, required to cross-link collagen's triple-helix structure. Lysine and vitamin C work as a pair — vitamin C is the cofactor that allows hydroxylation of lysine residues, which are then used to lock collagen fibers together. Without adequate dietary lysine, the body cannot build new collagen no matter how much vitamin C or silica is present. Most vegan formulas underdose this building block; Glow delivers the full 1,000 mg.

L-Proline — 1,000 mg

The most abundant amino acid in collagen, making up roughly 15% of the molecule. Proline residues are hydroxylated by vitamin C to stabilize the collagen triple-helix, and proline hydroxylation is one of the rate-limiting steps in producing stable, functional collagen. Most vegan formulas underdose proline at 200–500 mg. Glow delivers the full 1,000 mg alongside lysine and vitamin C — the three inputs your body actually needs.

Glycine — 500 mg

Collagen is approximately 33% glycine — the single most abundant amino acid in the molecule. Without sufficient glycine, the body cannot complete the collagen synthesis pathway. Most vegan collagen builders skip it entirely. Glow is one of the few formulas to deliver the complete amino-acid triad — lysine, proline, and glycine — for true collagen-production support.

Vitamin C (from Acerola Cherry Extract, 25% standardized) — 250 mg

The non-negotiable cofactor for collagen synthesis. A systematic review in the Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicinedescribes vitamin C's essential role in prolyl and lysyl hydroxylase activity — the enzymes that assemble collagen — alongside its role as an antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals from UV and inflammation. Whole-food sourced from acerola cherry for the natural bioflavonoid co-factors that synthetic ascorbic acid can't deliver.

Hyaluronic Acid (Low Molecular Weight Sodium Hyaluronate) — 120 mg

Your skin's natural moisture-binding molecule, which declines with age. A 12-week double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in Nutrients found that 120 mg/day of oral hyaluronic acid significantly improved wrinkle assessment, stratum corneum water content, transepidermal water loss, and skin elasticity in adults aged 35–64. Glow uses the exact 120 mg clinical dose in a low-molecular-weight form for deeper dermal penetration.

Bamboo Silica Extract (70% Organic Silica) — 300 mg

One of the richest natural sources of bioavailable silica — the trace mineral involved in collagen cross-linking, hair strength, and connective-tissue integrity. Silica is often missing entirely from skin formulas, a gap Glow fills at a meaningful dose.

Rice-Derived Phytoceramides (Oryza Ceramide-PCD®) — 40 mg

A clinically studied vegan ceramide that supports the skin's lipid barrier from the inside. Rice-derived ceramides are studied for their role in skin hydration, firmness, and barrier function — and unlike wheat-derived ceramides, they're vegan, gluten-free, and non-GMO.

Astaxanthin (AstaPure®, fermentation-derived) — 12 mg

One of the most potent antioxidants studied for skin health. A meta-analysis of clinical studies found that oral astaxanthin significantly improved skin moisture content (p = 0.03) and elasticity (p = 0.009) versus placebo. Most formulas use 4 mg; Glow uses the full 12 mg dose — three times the common amount.

CoQ10 (Ubiquinol form) — 100 mg

The active, more bioavailable form of CoQ10. It's required for mitochondrial energy production in skin cells, with levels declining sharply as we age, and it adds another layer of antioxidant defense. Almost no competitor includes it — a meaningful differentiator.

Zinc Picolinate — 15 mg

A highly bioavailable form of zinc that supports skin clarity and the body's normal skin-renewal processes. Low zinc status is one of the more common contributors to dull skin and slow turnover.

Copper Bisglycinate — 1 mg

The cofactor most beauty formulas miss. Zinc supplementation can deplete copper, and copper is required for lysyl oxidase — the enzyme that cross-links collagen and elastin into mature, functional structure. Including copper at the proper zinc-to-copper ratio reflects formulation care competitors skip.

Biotin — 2,500 mcg

A B-vitamin essential for keratin production — the structural protein in skin, hair, and nails.

PHGG Sunfiber® (Partially Hydrolyzed Guar Gum) — 500 mg

The skin-gut axis is real, and this is what makes Glow a CalmGut product rather than just another beauty supplement. Microbiome imbalance and gut inflammation are linked to skin issues, and PHGG is a gentle prebiotic fiber that feeds beneficial Bifidobacterium and supports short-chain fatty acid production, including butyrate — the metabolites that fuel colonic cells and help calm systemic inflammation. Unlike many fibers, it does this without causing bloating. Beauty starts in the gut, and no other beauty supplement on the market addresses the skin-gut axis this directly.

The CalmGut Advantage

• Targets the skin-gut axis from multiple angles
• Clinical doses — no proprietary blends
• Combines hydration, barrier, and collagen support in one formula
• Beauty-focused nutrients plus gut-aligned prebiotic support
• Stackable with every CalmGut formula

Glow pairs naturally with CalmGut Reset to support the gut lining that fuels skin radiance, CalmGut Bloat for the digestive comfort that shows on your skin, or CalmGut Sleep to support overnight skin renewal when collagen synthesis peaks.

Why Topical Skincare Isn't Enough

Most people spend hundreds on serums and creams that only treat the top layer of skin. But skin is built from the inside — every collagen fiber, every hydration molecule, every ceramide in the barrier comes from nutrients absorbed through your gut. After about age 25, the body's collagen production drops roughly 1% per year, and without the raw materials — amino acids, hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and the vitamin C and minerals that drive synthesis — no topical product can rebuild what's missing underneath.

That's also why absorption matters: if your gut isn't working well, the building blocks never reach your skin. Supporting the gut lining and microbiome is the quiet foundation behind real, lasting radiance, which is exactly why Glow includes prebiotic fiber and stacks so well with our work on gut lining and nutrient absorption. CalmGut Glow delivers the foundational building blocks your body needs to produce that radiance from within.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long until I see results?

Most clinical research shows measurable improvements in skin hydration and elasticity within 4–8 weeks of consistent daily use, with visible changes in firmness and hair texture typically appearing at 8–12 weeks. Because Glow works by giving your body the building blocks to produce its own collagen — rather than delivering pre-formed animal collagen — results compound over time as new skin and connective tissue is built.

Is this as effective as marine or bovine collagen supplements?

Yes, and arguably more effective long-term. Animal-derived collagen supplements deliver pre-formed peptides that your body breaks down into amino acids anyway. Glow delivers those exact amino acids directly — lysine, proline, and glycine — along with the vitamin C, silica, and copper cofactors your body needs to build its own collagen. The result is collagen synthesis on your terms, without animal products.

Why is this better than other vegan collagen builders?

Most vegan collagen formulas contain only lysine and proline. Glow is one of the few that delivers the full amino-acid triad — lysine, proline, and glycine — because collagen is 33% glycine, and without it the synthesis pathway can't complete. Glow also adds clinical-dose astaxanthin (12 mg vs the common 4 mg), CoQ10 ubiquinol, copper, and prebiotic fiber for the skin-gut axis — ingredients almost no competitor includes.

Is the marine collagen still in this formula?

No. CalmGut Glow is now 100% vegan. We removed marine collagen and replaced it with L-lysine, L-proline, and glycine — the exact amino acids your body uses to build its own collagen — along with all the cofactors needed for proper synthesis. Cleaner, more sustainable, and more effective long-term.

Can I take it with my other CalmGut products?

Yes. Glow is fully stackable with Reset, Focus, Bloat, Morning, and Sleep. Many customers take Glow alongside Reset for the strongest skin-gut synergy — Reset supports the gut lining while Glow delivers the building blocks for skin and hair, addressing the gut-skin axis from both directions.

Is it safe for sensitive stomachs?

Yes. The formula is gentle and non-irritating. The amino acids (lysine, proline, glycine) are among the most easily absorbed proteins in supplementation, and the included prebiotic fiber (PHGG Sunfiber®) actively supports gut comfort rather than causing the bloating common with many fiber supplements.

Is it gluten-free?

Yes. We use rice-derived phytoceramides (Oryza Ceramide-PCD®) instead of wheat-derived ceramides, making CalmGut Glow fully gluten-free, vegan, and non-GMO — safe for celiac and gluten-sensitive customers.

Do I need to take it with food?

For best absorption, take it with a meal that contains some healthy fat — astaxanthin and CoQ10 are fat-soluble and absorb significantly better with dietary fat. Most customers take Glow with breakfast or lunch.

How is this different from a multivitamin?

A multivitamin provides baseline nutrition. Glow is a targeted, clinical-dose beauty formula built on the skin-gut axis, with every ingredient dosed at the level used in published research — no proprietary blends, no marketing doses. It's designed to do one thing: visibly support skin, hair, and nails by addressing the root systems that produce them.

Trust & Quality

• Made with clean, thoughtfully selected ingredients
