Guess what came in my mail today!
When I opened it up, this is it! Itoh Collagen Powder!
There are 14 sachets in a box!
As stated in the title, today I am going to do a review on Itoh Collagen Powder and for those of you that don't know what it is, keep reading and I will explain it to you!
What is collagen?
Alright, so basically, collagen is the main structural protein of the various connective tissues in animals. And it is the main component of connective tissue which thus makes it the most abundant protein in mammals, basically it is 1/4 of the whole-body protein content.
How does collagen benefits our skin?
Collagen actually binds with the keratin in our body to add strength and resilience to our skin! As we age, the naturally occurring collagen will begin to degrade and lead to something that all woman fear of -> wrinkles. As such, do you know that collagen is an essential ingredient in most anti-aging face creams, and plastic surgeons actually inject collagen into the lips to plump them up?
When will we need to worry about collagen loss?
Technically we don't lose our collagen, it is just that our body produce lesser collagen. And it is said that our collagen level will decrease rapidly after the age of 25!!! Let me show you what it will be like between a skin with high collagen level and a skin with low collagen level.
Where is the collagen extracted from?
It is extracted from healthy pigskin and cartilage, which are tested by Japan SPF Standard. In addition, the fats and gelatin are removed through high purification technology which therefore result in ITOH collagen powder to be safe and tasteless!!
How do we take it??
You can add the collagen powder to anything liquid, no matter hot or cold!! Green tea, milk, hot soup etc.
OH! If you guys have read my previous blog post on Hada Labo SHA Hydrating Lotion, I mention this famous Taiwan TV Variety show "女人我最大". Itoh Collagen Powder is endorsed by Kevin, a makeup artist in the show!
Shirley (my mom) actually cooked some chinese soup that day and let me show you how I add the powder in!
Just get 1 sachet and peel it open.
This is the soup BEFORE I add the powder in.
This is the soup with the powder being added!
And this is after stirring for a few times! You cannot even see difference and there is really no trace of weird taste from the collagen powder!
Let me show you another example!
I made this hot cocoa for myself during the Christmas period because the weather is getting colder! Want to know how to make a d.i.y hot chocolate? Click here
But that is the photo with the powder on top!
And now, after stirring, the powder is gone! The white lumps on top is actually marshmallow. It looks a bit gross but I swear it taste AWESOME!!!
The recommended servings is about 1-3 sachets per day! And fret not, this product is approved by Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and World Health Organization (WHO), making it very safe to consume!
You can consume the collagen powder at anytime but the best timing to take it would be before sleeping or with an empty stomach!
Results will usually be seen around 1-2weeks after consumption but results will vary with individual!
So what are you waiting for?? Hurry grab yours now for only $49.90/box at Guardian!
