Collagen is actually the most abundant protein in the human body, making up approximately 75% of who we are. Collagen is most commonly found in the skin, bones and connective tissue within the body, providing structural support, strength and a degree of elasticity (in combination with elastin). From a beauty and skincare standpoint, collagen is the most critical nutrient in giving your skin its elasticity as well as helping with cell regeneration – replacement and restoration of skin cells. It also reduces wrinkles and fine lines, hydrates your skin as well as prevents sagging skin. Collagen is crucial to your glowing skin. But there’s a catch - collagen production naturally declines with age, which you cannot control. What you can control, however, is your consumption of collagen to replenish it. In fact, studies showed by the time you reach 40, your body will have lost 25% of its collagen production ability. To make up for that and stimulate your body’s natural production, you will need to consume a higher amount of collagen.

Our low molecule weight peptide powder form is highly bioavailable, with a high absorption rate above 90%. Bioavailability is an indicator of how easy how easy it is for your body to consume. Most collagen products in the market have an absorption rate of only 20-30%. Pills and tablets instead of powder form deliver even worse. You can therefore do some quick calculation. A premium collagen does cost more, but at the same time it is 3-4 times more effective. More importantly though, why spending on collagen products that do not meet your need and will not reach your goal?

Surely, you can get collagen through your diet. But the issue is the digestion and absorption ability of collagen through diet into your body are usually much weaker. “Bioavailability” is the term used to describe this, which means how easy it is for your body to take in. The more highly bioavailable, the better. Vida Glow’s marine collagen is broken down into small particle sizes, which results in its high absorption rate. Another issue with absorption through diet is you rarely get enough collagen from your diet. Why is that? Most collagen is found on skin and scales for fish, or around bones for cow or chicken. How often do you eat those parts? Our marine collagen is superior because of two reasons. Marine collagen, compared to other types of collagen, has the most Type 1 collagen, which is the type that contributes to beautiful skin and reduce wrinkles. Not all types of collagen has the same benefits on skin. Another benefit of marine collagen is, compared to other sources of collagen, its absorption effectiveness is 1.5 times higher. More effective absorption, more targeted at your skin health and of course our ultra-high 90% absorption rate into the body. Those are the three reasons why our marine collagen is superior.

Vida Glow Marine Collagen works from within your body to achieve a high absorption. Our collagen is a low molecular weight collagen peptide powder. Once the collagen is absorbed, it is passed through the lining of the stomach and is absorbed by the bloodstream. It is then distributed through blood vessels to the dermis, the deeper layer of the skin, stimulating fibroblast proliferation and increasing the body’s natural production of collagen.

According to scientific research and clinical trials, you can expect to see results in 3 – 4 weeks of taking the product on a daily consecutive level. At this time skin becomes more hydrated, followed by a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles in 6 weeks. By the 9th week you’ll see a noticeable increase in skin elasticity and firmness. Most of our customers have seen changes in 4 – 6 weeks in skin, hair and nails, with some achieving results in as little as 2 weeks. Performance is especially noticeable with higher age group. We recommend taking Vida Glow's marine collagen daily. You will see faster and more effective results. Taking 6 – 9 grams a day (2 – 3 scoops) will accelerate results. If you are taking more than one serving per day, be sure to spread them out, rather than taking all servings at once, this ensures maximum absorption. You can also see more researches validating such findingson collagen products from the National Institute of Health website - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23949208.

Mix it in your morning coffee or tea or include it in your favourite food or drink. Our marine collagen powder blend very well into foods such as porridge, yoghurt, soup or drinks such as smoothies, shakes, juices or water and is also heat stable. You will see faster and more effective results when taking the marine collagen daily.
