Everytime I post about a skincare
product that is collagen based, there will be comments like "Collagen is
effective if taken orally". Well thanks to
KB, I now take collagen
tablets.
Why collagen and why I'm a bit
addicted to it? Well, collagen is naturally present in our body and is vital in
strengthening blood vessels and for our skin's elasticity and strength.
As we grow older, the amount of collagen in our body decreases and that's
when wrinkles and other skin issues appears (by the way I'm no expert and just
read these stuff from the net). There are many ways to bring back
collagen into our system like injectables or by taking supplement like
KB Collagen.
"Experience total revitalization with
KB Collagen as it brings you
the most complete system renewal packed in tablet form. It contains Fish
Collagen to replenish stored collagen the body begins to lose at the age of 20.
Collagen is important in maintaining skin health as well as the
structural integrity of joint cartilage. The Cartilage extract blended
into the KB Collagen helps relieve swollen joints and heal the body naturally.
The Silk Peptide Pearl Powder and Pearl Coix Extract work to complement
the Fish Collagen in reviatalising the skin and gives it a natural fair and
pinkish glow. CoQ10 is included in the blend to help maintain a healthy
cardiovascular system. Vitamin E is added to provide anti-ageing
qualities. Swallow Nest Extract and Vitamin C complete the formulation to
help strengthen immune system."
Ingredients: Fish Collagen
Peptide (200mg), Vitamin C (40mg), Cartilage Extract (20mg), Silk Peptide
(10mg), Vitamin E (8mg), CoQ10 (4mg), Bird Nest Extract (2mg), Pearl Powder
(.6mg), Excipients: Dextrin, Cellulose, Stearic Acid, Calcium, HPC
I'm glad that Vitamin C is
already included in the formulation because I read that it is needed in the
collagen absorption (note, I forgot the exact term). It is suggested to
take 1-3 tablets a day before breakfast ro before sleeping. Since it says
in the box that I have to consult a doctor if I have any special allergy, I
just took a tablet for three consecutive days (stubborn me) and I wouldn't lie,
I feel a little bit itchy. So I changed my intake to a tablet every other
day until the itchiness went away (around a week) then I went back to taking 1
tablet per day and so far so good. After around 3 weeks, I noticed that
my pale skin has a bit of pinkish glow and overall my skin smoothen especially
my arm area (and I hope my underarms too, soon). My premature wrinkles
and laugh lines are still in place but at least I don't see new ones.
