Everyone ages. That’s why we see on the shelves every day, all sorts of age-defying creams and products. It’s a fact of life. But we want to age gracefully, slow down the processes.
We start to feel it from the 30s. Well, most of us do. Our skin becomes less radiant, less plump, drier and lines start to appear on our faces. That’s because as we age, our collagen production decreases and the quality of our collagen declines as well. So we start looking for solutions.
We try to eat more collagen-rich food like bone broth, skin-on fish/chicken and chicken feet, tomatoes, eggs, citrus fruits. We change our habits, slather on more sunscreen, and apply creams that promise us that the collagen molecules are small enough to penetrate the skin.
Nice scenario, but that is not the reality for the most of us. With our modern busy lifestyles, it is hard to sometimes even get to eat a meal at the appropriate time, much less try to make it a point to consume collagen-rich foods every day and in sufficient quantities to make a difference.
Enter the easiest solution. The collagen supplement. It’s convenient, suits our lifestyle and we can literally have a sachet or bottle of it anywhere, anytime.
But there are various types so how do we go about choosing the collagen supplement in our anti-aging crusade?
According to this study, the findings revealed that fish is the optimal source of collagen for improving skin hydration. Notably, marine collagen and collagen peptides have high potency, and are safe. Apart from that, look for one that has safe, high quality ingredients and has been tested by 3rd parties for impurities.
Among the many choices available, Nano Collagen 5+ stands out with its award-winning collagen formula. It is formulated with these key ingredients: fish collagen peptide, white tomato, ginseng, biotin, vitamin B3 and vitamin C.
Fish collagen peptide enhances skin elasticity, reducing the appearance of wrinkles thus promoting a youthful complexion. White tomato brightens the skin, offers some protection against UV damage, soothes irritated skin and reduces redness, leaving you with a radiant, healthy glow. Ginseng revitalises the skin, fights aging, and evens out skin tone for a smoother appearance. Biotin promotes hair growth, reduces breakage, and strengthens nails too.
Vitamin B3 helps the skin retain moisture, reducing dryness and flakiness. It calms irritated skin and reduces redness, making it suitable for sensitive skin types. It also helps to tighten enlarged pores, resulting in smoother-looking skin. The added Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that fights free radicals, helping to prevent premature aging and skin damage. It is also known to reduce dark spots and and hyperpigmentation, leading to a more even and radiant complexion. Most importantly, vitamin C boosts collagen production, improving skin elasticity and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Nano Collagen 5+ is formulated in Singapore but manufactured by their Hong Kong based supplier, which has been established since 2014. The facility complies with GMP standards and is U.S. FDA registered, so you know you are in safe hands.
Nano Collagen 5+ comes in a pretty pink box of 10 similar print sachets of 30ml each. Taste-wise, I’d say it’s nice and tastes mildly of tomato. There isn’t any fishy taste or whatsoever and most importantly, it is not high in sugar as you can tell from the nutri-grade given. Results from taking collagen in general take time though some have had fast results; so it varies from individual to individual.
Just take it once a day – do not take more than the recommended amount – and you’ll be on your way to better skin in 2024.
