Skinade

From about the age of 20 onwards we lose between 1-1.5% of the collagen in our skin each year. From the age of 30 collagen production is significantly reduced and this results in wrinkles, fine lines and dry, blemished, or thinning skin.

Fibroblast proliferation for the body's natural manufacturing of collagen occurs at around 6000mg of collagen and Skinade uses an optimal level of 7000mg of class leading patented collagen peptides type I and III (the same forms of collagen found in the human dermis) with an unsurpassed molecular weight of just 2kDal. Most collagen supplements use collagen type II, which is great for joint health, but does nothing for our skin. As a 100% solution, Skinade uniquely ensures 90% to 95% absorption, a level of bioavailability that can’t be matched by tablets or powders suspended in liquid. To consume the same level of collagen in tablet form we would have to take 20 large tablets. Collagen tablets are more difficult to take and assimilate in the body and are only partially absorbed. Collagen peptides function best when combined with appropriate levels of calcium sorbate (pH neutral vitamin C) so 450% RDA is included in every bottle.

The marine collagen in Skinade has been hydrolysed, which means that it has been through a gentle, enzymatic process that breaks down the larger collagen molecules into collagen peptides. These peptides have a much lower molecular weight and can be easily transported to, and absorbed in, areas where the skin needs it. Taking hydrolysed collagen in liquid form increases collagen absorption significantly.
The collagen in Skinade is sourced from freshwater fish. This avoids the possibility of mercury and PCN contamination as well as high levels of sodium more commonly found in saltwater fish.
Skinade contains a vitamin B complex (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9 & B12), vitamin C and the fatty acids omega 3 & 6. We recommend that you check what you are taking against the Skinade nutritional information on the back of the box or online at www.skinade.com. You should not need further quantities of these vitamins unless your doctor advises differently.

It safe for diabetics. It doesn’t contain gluten, bovine or porcine products, hormones, genetically modified organisms (gmos), alcohol, added sugar, artificial flavours, or artificial colours.
I’m often asked if Collagen works and there is mounting evidence for it but alternatives can taste unappealing leading to an irregular pattern of consumption; I chose Skinade to recommend because it tastes good; unless you don’t like peach and mangosteen, and it boosts your body's natural production of collagen and hyaluronic acid. It is available in a bottle or travel sachet so it will easily fit into the day becoming routine, so you’ll get the best results.
