Collagen - The 'IN' Drink

Hey peeps,

It has been quite some time since the blog is updated. But this time I'm sharing with you not on the style part but on the 'beauty' department.

Well, I'm not generalizing but I do think all girls are 'vain' somehow. Who wouldn't wanna look forever youthful with flawless (baby-smooth) skin, right? And what more, studies show that our collagen starts to breakdown at the age of 25, someone once mentioned to me that due to the hot climate in Singapore and Malaysia (it actually deteriorates much earlier at 22). Do I hear you exclaiming "oh gosh...wat am I to do?". I'm sure most of you have heard of Collagen Drink. So, what happens when your skin's collagen breakdown? These are what we call 'signs of aging'

1. Sagging skin

2. Lack of lustre/radiance - starts to have pigmentation

3. Enlarged pores (which is somehow related to sagging skin)

4. Wrinkles and fine lines

5. Affects skin texture - roughness

But just to give you a more in-depth knowledge of it, I've decided to come up with this post. In order for you to absorb the collagen, it has to be in low molecular weight (short molecules). In addition, our daily collagen absorption is only 5,000mg max. Hence, don't be fooled by products with tens of thousand mg of collagen. Those are considered gimmics because somehow or rather those thousands of mg are gonna be wasted!

I came across this Lennox Firm Up Collagen Drink (from Japan) recently at Guardian. One thing is because it is cheap that it caught my eye...RM69.88 per box (10 bottles). This is actually a promotional price and to top it off it has an additional RM10 discount with the voucher that is displayed there. So, it just came to my mind 'No harm trying, right?'. And hence, I've gotten myself 3 boxes of this. The first box (10 bottles) is to be consumed daily -preferably at night before bed and subsequently you can opt to consume a bottle every 2-3 days.

The great thing about this Lennox Firm Up is that it consists of:

1. Aqueous Marine Collagen 5,000mg - low molecular weight and 100% water soluble

2. Coenzyme Q10 - this is beneficial because of its ability to transfer electrons and act as antioxidant (energizes skin cell)

3. Vitamin C - accelerates collagen synthesis

4. Vitamin E - acts as antioxidant

It tastes just like grape drink which is easy to consume. I believe many of you babes out there have tried Collagen Drink before. Why don't you leave your comments or reviews if you've tried others such as Fancl or Kinohimitsu. Let's all prevent that aging signs NOW!!
