The Science of FOSS: Why We Chose VERISOL® Collagen

When we set out to create FOSS, our mission was simple: craft a premium, low-sugar sparkling drink that actually delivers on its functional promises. We didn't just want to create a refreshing beverage inspired by the outdoors; we wanted to build a daily routine that supports your focus, radiance, and recovery.

To do that, the ingredients had to be flawless.

Collagen is a major component of the human body. About 30% of our total body protein is collagen. It is crucial for smooth skin, glossy hair, healthy fingernails, and mobile joints. However, not all collagen is created equal. After extensive research and formulation testing, we selected VERISOL®, a premium bovine collagen.

Here is exactly why we chose this specific collagen for every can of FOSS.

It Works From the Inside Out

Most skincare routines focus on the surface, but true radiance starts deeper. VERISOL® is comprised of optimised Bioactive Collagen Peptides.

These specific peptides are recognised by the fibroblast cells in the dermal layer of the skin. Once recognised, they are stimulated to increase their collagen metabolism to counterbalance the pretended collagen degradation in the dermis. Orally applied, VERISOL® systematically effects the collagen metabolism in the dermis rather than just reaching the outer layers of the skin like creams and other topical products do.

The Clinical Proof

We didn't want to rely on guesswork. VERISOL® is backed by over 12 years of research and more than seven specific clinical studies confirming its benefits. Here is what the science shows:

  • Increased Skin Elasticity: VERISOL® leads to significantly higher skin elasticity up to 15% compared to placebo treatment. This effect could be measured after just 4 weeks of treatment.

  • Visible Wrinkle Reduction: The oral administration of VERISOL® significantly reduces wrinkles after 4 weeks. It leads to a significantly higher skin procollagen concentration. Ultimately, the collagen in the skin increases by 60%.

  • Stronger, Healthier Nails: The Bioactive Collagen Peptides VERISOL® can help to improve growth and health of fingernails. Studies show a decrease of cracked and/or chipped nails after 2 months of treatment. Compared to the control group, the nail growth speed is increasing.

  • Smoother Skin Surface: VERISOL® supplementation has beneficial effects on the dermal extracellular matrix of the skin and can help to decrease cellulite. It directly stimulates the extracellular matrix formation in skin. The daily oral intake of 2.5 g VERISOL significantly decreases the cellulite score.

The Perfect Formulation for FOSS

Beyond the clinical results, VERISOL® is the perfect technical fit for a sparkling drink.

  • Pure & Clean: It is pure collagen protein with almost no fat, cholesterol, carbohydrates, and dietary fibers. It boasts a protein content of 91.00-95.00%.

  • A Superior Drinking Experience: The powder is particularly neutral in taste and odor. It is also readily soluble in cold and warm water. This allows our natural fruit and botanical flavours—like Yuzu, Peach, and Wild Berries —to shine without any heavy, chalky aftertaste.

  • Patented Design: It features a patented beauty design with a unique peptide profile developed specifically for beauty from within benefits.

The FOSS Difference: A Meaningful Dose

Clinical studies confirm that VERISOL® delivers these incredible skin, hair, and nail benefits with a daily dose of just 2.5g.

We wanted to ensure you get the absolute most out of your daily routine. That is why every single can of FOSS is formulated with a generous 6g dose of premium bovine collagen. We’ve done the heavy lifting so you don't have to measure messy powders or swallow supplement pills.
