The more I sit at my desk working, the faster I am aging, I think. But I am fighting it more and more too. LOL I have been reading up on the nutrient supplements that I am low on and I have made an effort to start supplementing on a regular basis to help combat the aging process and the mid life spread.
One of the items I read about was Collagen. This is a fiber that is very important for your body but yet it breaks down in your body as we age. When I was asked to do a review for NeoCell Corporation, I was intrigued and thrilled. NeoCell Corporation is a leader in the natural supplements and skin care industries
I asked to review the Super Collagen as it sounded like it would help with all of the things that are happening to my body. Here is some additional info from their site:
The word “collagen” is derived from the word kolla, the Greek word for glue. Collagen is the strong fiber that weaves throughout our body for strength and support to literally hold the body together, similar to glue, yet stronger than steel wire. Daily, the body repeats a cycle of collagen breakdown and rebuilding. As we age, the process changes and it is estimated that since the body slows down in the rebuilding phases, the body loses collagen at a rate of 1.5% per year from age 25 onwards. This collagen breakdown is what causes most visible signs of aging including wrinkles, sagging skin, joint pain, and brittle nails.
The collagen peptides type 1 & 3 in Super Collagen™ support collagen in tendons, ligaments, hair, skin, nails, and lean muscle. These two types of collagen are the main types found in connective tissue making up 90% of the body’s total collagen content. Super Collagen™ is rich in hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine, which are two key amino acids specific only to collagen and especially important to collagen production.
I received the container of the Super Collagen Powder 7 oz. powder. This is a small looking container but when you open it you realize that this powder is super fine. As per the instructions, it is best taken with Vitamin C so I have been mixing it in with my juice in the mornings.
Now I know what you are thinking.. OH that fiber stuff is all goopy and nasty. Actually because this is so fine, it mixes very well. I take the scoop and add it to a small amount of juice first to make a thick liquid and then I add the rest of the juice. You cannot taste the fiber at all. You can use an immersion blender if you want to.
Now this container says that you will notice results in about 3 weeks or so. I have been taking this for a week so far. Nothing drastic has happened and I don’t mind taking it, which is a plus for me. I am going to continue to take it as I know I need the fiber, I really like how well it mixes and I know its good for me and will help me in the long run.
Don’t like powders? NeoCell has several other Collagen products for Skin Care Supplements, Anti Aging and Joint Support too. Even one for joint problems in Dogs. And the nice part is their prices are affordable! No monthly shipments to buy. You can find them in local vitamin shops!
As with any supplement, you may want to consult a doctor or pharmacist before using this product.
Thanks You NeoCell for the the supplement. I am looking forward to good results.
