Collagen is the most abundant protein in our bodies (35%). It can be found in the skin, bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments, as well as other areas such as blood vessels, eyes and teeth, together with hyaluronic acid and elastin are the ones in charge of keeping the elasticity in the skin and a radiant young face, but what happens as we get older?
There is a common belief that you have to wait till you are 40 or 50 to start seeing the first signs of aging, but this is not one day to another process, when the human reaches around the age of 25, the body starts to slowly decrease the production of collagen to the point we start to notice fine lines and wrinkles. I always believed that a proper skincare routine should be an inside/out matter, what I mean by this is that creams, serums help but collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin are in the deepest skin layer where topic products are not capable to penetrate, that’s why you will need to check out how much water are you taking, having a rich healthy diet and take some supplements to add a plus.
I personally having taking lately some marine collagen supplements from Revive that uses Type 1 hydrolysed marine collagen, which is the most plentiful collagen in our bodies. It’s also a key factor in maintaining the elasticity and firmness of our skin.
The collagen is collected from ethically farmed fish skin which breaks down into small collagen chains. This process is called hydrolysis and results in collagen peptides hence the name hydrolyzed collagen. Type 1 marine collagen is one of the most abundant molecules in the body, and it is particularly important in bone, skin, and connective tissue. It is an interstitial matrix collagen organized in fibrils, which are essential for the competence of tissues such as skin and bones.
Hydrolyzed collagen is more effective than other collagen products, which are made only of glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline. This effectiveness is because these three amino acids alone do not result in a complete collagen molecule. Without a complete molecule, our bodies do not absorb and transport enough collagen to the extracellular matrix.
By taking Revive Collagen, with its added hyaluronic acid and aloe vera, your skin, hair, nails and joints will reap the benefits. Drinking a sachet daily helps rebuild and restore your collagen levels, with over 8500 MG of Type 1 Hydrolysed Marine Collagen per serving.

MY EXPERIENCE
Time to time I take supplements when I need some extra boost for my skin, hair and nails mostly, this one worked very well I noticed a good plump on my skin, I used to take it early morning with my porridge and waited and hour to have any coffee so I would avoid the antinutrients from the caffeine to reduce the absorption of nutrients, but you can drink it whenever you like, I took it for two weeks it worked well but then had to stop as I had to take some medication early morning and once I finished I went back to drink it for another two weeks and it worked very well mostly my skin that it’s always a mess.
Check out with a medical professional before start taking this or any supplement to see if they are suitable for you.
