Got a set of MIEUX by MU Nutrition+ Collagen Beauty Drink delivered to my doorstep courtesy of Mary Chia and Sample Store sometime back.
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body needed to maintain the structure and density of our skin. Approximately 80% of young and healthy skin is made up of collagen, and it doesn't help that our skin will gradually lose its ability to regenerate and hence produce less collagen as we move towards the big 3. As we reach the age of 30s - 50s, wrinkles emerge unwelcomely as the level of collagen plunged to a mere 40%, causing our skin to lose its firmness.
Scary, isn't it?
On average, the production of collagen starts to slow down in our mid-20s - and that's during our prime years! All or almost all ladies are vain I suppose, and one of the most terrifying comment from others would be that:
"you looked older than your age"
"your skin condition is bad"
"your skin looks dull"
"you look (perpetually) tired and stressed"
I am well aware of that, which is why I've been trying to pay more attention to my skin since 24 years of age until now... I started to take collagen periodically about 2-3 years back. Collagen don't come cheap, so I am glad for this sponsorship!
MU MIEUX Collagen Beauty Drink comes in a pack of 8 50ml glass bottles. As our body can only absorb a fixed amount of collagen each day, it is recommended to consume one chilled bottle per day just before bedtime.
Results vary with people and most see results within 2-3 weeks. As I've only on a 8-day trial, I will not be in position to comment on that. But let's take a look at the benefits based on some of the ingredients, which are formulated in Japan:
BHN Fish Collagen: Fish collagen shows better absorption among collagens with same molecular weight, provides nourishment, hydration which help to prevent terrifying wrinkles.
Apple Extract: Apple polyphenol helps to combat photo-aging by retaining moisture, prevent DNA damage and the deepening of wrinkles.
Co-Q10: No idea what this bunch of alpha-numeric means, but this is a type of antioxidant (ladies' best friend!) responsible for fighting free radicals in the body. Free radicals cause physical disease and premature ageing by destroying living cells.
Ceramides: Retain moisture in our skin.
Vitamin E: The healing saviour for scars, acne and wrinkles (again) as it aids to speed up cell regeneration. Creates anti-ageing effect, making us look younger.
Vitamin C: Another antioxidant that retards the rate of free-radical damage.
So much goodness all contained in a small bottle!
For those who have tried collagen before, you will have an idea of how horrible collagen taste like. It is a bonus that this collagen drink is not only NOT horrible, it is refreshing and fruity - a tasty treat before bedtime! Must have been the apply extract which cleverly masked the taste of collagen! There is a tinge of collagen still, hence better to have it chilled.
