The role that collagen and antioxidants play in the youthful appearance of our skin has been the object of numerous studies. Collagen in particular maintains our skin, joints, hair, and nail health by keeping the fibroblasts in their connective tissue in good condition. However, as we age the fibroblasts in the connective tissue cells slow down their activity and collagen production does not suffice for the skin’s needs.
Ingestive supplements form a new trend to keep collagen levels in the skin high and to feed enough antioxidants to the epidermis to enable it to fight oxidation. The process by which collagen is absorbed by the body is key to whether it will be able to reach its goal or be rejected by the stomach and liver.
Vida Glow is a newly launched collection of Collagen supplements created by Anna Lahey from Australia that stand out for its level of research into the science of skincare and collagen absorption by the body. All the products’ claims are backed thorough clinical studies that attest to their superior results. Vida Glow uses natural marine collagen that contains activated collagen peptides to stimulate the body’s natural process of collagen production. Take one Vida Glow sachet a day to experience more hydrated skin with less lines and wrinkles, stronger nails, and more vibrant hair after a month or two of use.
Vida Glow Natural Marine Collagen, the best-seller in the collection, is hydrolyzed (activated to boost absorption) so your body can utilize it to produce fresh collagen. Mix it in water and drink it throughout the day. Vida Glow is totally transparent in the collagen industry, backing all results with million dollar clinical trials to prove they work.
