Dr Vanita Rattan Collagen Boost Watermelon & Coconut POWDER

This product contains 14 servings collagen boost (1 serving/scoop per day) in watermelon & coconut flavour. These collagen peptides in this product come from the skins of wild-caught ocean fish. Marine collagen are Type 1 collagen peptides. This is the most abundant type in the human body and is found in our skin, hair, bones, tendons and ligaments.

This collagen booster contains 18 amino acids (see ingredients list below). The glycine and proline concentration is 10 to 20 times higher than in other proteins. As a result, this type of marine collagen offers nutri-functional properties that cannot be found in other protein sources.

A scoop is included. Each scoop contains 35-38 calories and 8g of Type 1 Hydrolysed Marine Collagen (derived from wild caught fish), which is the highest bioavailability (most effective) type of collagen powder on the market.

• HIGH PROTEIN (7.2g).
• LOW CARB (1.6g).
• NO ADDED SUGAR.
• VITAMIN RICH.
• KETO FRIENDLY.
• HALAL.
• SAFE FOR PREGNANCY.

How does this collagen product work?

Collagen is the main building block protein that forms your bones, skin, hair, muscles, tendons, and ligaments

Collagen production reduces by 1% every year from 21 onwards. This leads to loss of skin elasticity, which causes wrinkles, dry, thinning and sagging skin.

Loss of collagen also contributes to hair loss, slow hair growth and brittle hair. It can lead to aching joints and slow recovery post injury.

The collagen in ‘Dr V Collagen Boost’ is broken down into peptides in the gut then absorbed into the blood stream. These peptides are recognised by fibroblasts as collagen fragments which ‘tricks’ fibroblasts to produce more collagen in response to the ‘pretend’ collagen breakdown.

Why is it great for skin of colour?

1. Skin of colour has less ceramides than Caucasian skin, leading to dry skin. This is why hyaluronic acid has been added to this product and only marine collagen used, as it increases the amount of water binding glycosaminoglycans, leading to improved skin hydration.
2. When people of colour live in a colder environments, they are more likely to suffer with low vitamin D and may benefit from consuming this daily to improve mood and joints.
3. Hyperpigmentation is one of our greatest skincare issues and copper has been added to the formulation for this purpose. It is a great vitamin to even skin tone and improve hair pigment.
4. As skin of colour can react to ascorbic acid on the skin during the day, oral anti oxidants, e.g. vitamin C, are an effective way to mop up damaging free radicals without irritating the skin.

Who is this product for? 

For men & women, all skin types (dry/oily/sensitive) & persons 21 years and over (when collagen starts to decrease).

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a serious medical condition or are under medical supervision, please consult with your doctor before taking this product.
