About Gelagen And This Site

Why A Sweet Instead Of A Capsule

The case for a capsule is real. It holds more, it contains no sugar, and it costs less to manufacture. All true, and all beside the point that decides everything.

The point that decides everything is whether the bottle is empty at the end of the month. People do not swallow four capsules a day for twelve weeks. People do chew two sweets before breakfast for twelve weeks, and a formula taken for twelve weeks beats a better one abandoned in three by an infinite margin, because the abandoned one delivers nothing at all.

The trade is stated rather than hidden: a little sugar in exchange for a habit that survives. If the sugar is a problem for you, the safety page says so and a capsule product is the better buy. We would rather write that than take the order.

The Claims We Refuse

• That it contains collagen. It does not, and the name will not make us pretend.
• That it treats acne, eczema, rosacea, psoriasis or hair loss.
• That it is FDA approved. Nothing in this category is.
• That anything shows in seven days. Skin turns over in four to six weeks and that sets the floor for every honest claim.
• That the results shown here are typical. Every comment is labelled as one person, not as evidence.
• That stock is running out. There is no timer anywhere on this domain, and you will notice the reference page has one.

Who Pays For This Website

Every order button leads to the seller’s checkout, and a purchase made through one can pay this site a commission. It adds nothing to your bill and changes nothing about the price, the refund window or a single sentence on these pages. The same disclosure sits at the foot of every page on gelagenus.com rather than only here.

The consequence deserves stating out loud: a site funded this way has an obvious incentive to overstate. What we can offer against that is the record. Four of the seven ingredient pages say the evidence for supplementing is thinner than the marketing. The results page spends as much space on what this does not do as on what it does. And the most useful article on the site argues that a twelve dollar bottle of sunscreen will do more for your face than any supplement, ours included.

Where The Information Comes From

• The product label, which outranks this website on anything about contents.
• NIH Office of Dietary Supplements fact sheets for every vitamin here.
• FDA safety communications, the source of the biotin warning we repeat.
• Published human research, read with attention to sample size and called small when it is small.

What does not count: testimonials as evidence, laboratory studies dressed up as human results, and press releases of any description.

Corrections

Products get reformulated, prices move, research advances. Where a factual error is reported and we can confirm it, the page changes and a dated line goes underneath saying so. Send us the page and the sentence.
