We all have our health hypocrisies. Mine used to be that I would only take prescription pills under dire circumstances, but was a sucker for any ‘natural’ health supplement. Luckily I saw the ridiculousness of my reasoning. I am still fussy about what I put in my body, but now I always do my research.
I had heard a lot about marine collagen supplements. Beauty writers and bloggers have been raving about them. Frost writer Keshini also tried some and was a fan. So I jumped at the chance to review Vida Glow. Vida Glow is a natural marine collagen supplement which comes in powder form of pure hydrolysed marine collagen. It is a hair, skin and nail supplement, with an array of benefits as collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and the second largest substance in the body behind water.
Their Beauty Blend is a vegetarian friendly all natural superfood blend, designed alongside nutritionists, to nourish hair, skin and nails from within. Vida Glow marine collagen is derived from the Scales of Deep Sea Red Snapper
Here is what they say:
With age, collagen breaks down in our bodies leading to wrinkles, sagging skin and lines. Outside factors as such smoking, toxins, poor diet, late nights, sun damage and harsh environments can add to the ageing process.
Your skin is incredibly important to your overall health. Skin is the largest organ in the human body, and is the most obvious indicator of your age and lifestyle.
Vida Glow works from within to rebuild and strengthen the collagen matrix below the skin’s surface. As we are subject to toxins, sun damage, poor diets and ageing, the multi layers which are linked together under the skin degenerate, resulting in fine lines, and wrinkles.
The collagen that is absorbed by taking Vida Glow, improves skin elasticity by increasing the density of fibroblasts, which are the cells responsible for rebuilding connective tissues. Vida Glow stimulates the body’s own natural collagen production by noticing the increased amount of collagen in the blood stream. Consumed daily it helps restore collagen production levels, giving you healthy and youthful looking skin.
Consuming Vida Glow on a daily basis results in firmer and more hydrated skin, giving you a radiant complexion, smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles.
Mostly when I review supplements I don’t notice a huge difference. Not so with Vida Glow. The pack comes with 30 servings. You can take 1-3 a day. I took 3 a day, deciding to go for the short but bigger dose. I was very impressed indeed. Immediately after taking it I got that feeling you get when you eat something really healthy. It was like I could feel the good it was doing for my body. I noticed a difference in my hair, nails and skin. It also made me feel healthier. I only took Vida Glow for 10 days, but I do think it works and I would definitely use it again. For the environmentalist: Vida Glow marine collagen is a fibrous protein extracted from the scales of Deep Sea Red Snapper, sustainably sourced from the Pacific Ocean waters of Australasia. Vida Glow is a 100% natural product.
I am definitely a fan. Frost Loves.
