When I was battling acne and so stressed about the fine lines that were popping up due to stress, I slowly began to face the fact (OOOO you know pun was intended there... hehehe) that what I was putting INSIDE my body was the reason I had issues.
So, out went the refined sugar (that cause your collagen to break down and causes inflammation which causes excess sebum, etc.), and in went some clean food - food I made, learning on the fly, picking recipes from pinterest (but I did it, and you can, too).
I saw improvement with my skin in just a few months after cutting sugar and dairy and processed foods completely. I believe it is because my gut started to heal (and that changes everything for your skin). However, maintaining and supporting my skin’s collagen wasn’t something I could do beyond the clean eating I was doing (which is highly important, to do by the way!).
But still, I did want a good collagen supplement, because unfortunately, past age 30 and even sometimes 25, your collagen starts dwindling…
I hadn’t quite jumped on the collagen band wagon because…
- I was borderline vegan for a couple years and vegan “collagen” is GMO…
- I wasn’t convinced the sourcing for most collagen at the store was that great. Cow industry is horrendous, am I right?
- There are usually sugars, and artificial flavorings and additives added TO the collagen powders, which defeat the collagen’s purpose!
- Most contain Type 2 collagen… which… is good for joints, but not bioavailable for skin. We need type 1 for skin.
However, I have FINALLY found what I have been looking for in a collagen product. I am excited about trying
Inner Beauty Collagen, because the sourcing is
sustainable and clean. It’s
type 1 collagen that matches our skin's collagen type. There are NO sugars. No flavorings. It is basically tasteless.
Within 3 weeks, you can see a difference. I am so ready to try this.
Check out the studies done on the type 1 hydrolyzed collagen derived from fish:
The study on hydrolyzed marine collagen was done to see the effects of taking collagen on women 45-60 years of age.
After 12 weeks, the participants who supplemented with the marine collagen had a 35% reduction in wrinkle score, as well has improvement in cheek skin elasticity, hydration, radiance, and firmness vs. placebo group.
