Amino Collagen from Meiji

First, it was the Clarins Total Body Lift. Now its Meiji's Amino Collagen!

Moi was convinced by my colleague to give this a try. She's currently on FANCL Tense Up but gonna switch over to try this new product from Meiji (cost is definitely a big factor in the switch!)

You know arh, since i started flying in 2004, moi can see a huge change(for the worse apparently!) in my health and body i.e like gaining 4kgs in 2years!! omg!!. I tend to fall sick really easily, my complexion worsen i.e pale and outbreaks, the vericose veins are starting to come out due to long hours of standing, my sleep cycle is affected. This is really really bad..

Time to start doing damage control!! which is why moi decided to give this Amino Collagen a try! i wanna aged beautifully like....Cindy Crawford or Kim Basinger

What's Collagen?
Collagen is a type of protein and one third of the proteins in the human body consist of collagen.

You notice that your skin somehow has lost its tautness... that your cheeks are becoming saggy... a shortage of collagen in the skin's dermal layer makes ur cheeks becomes saggy and your skin to lost it's bounce and tautness. If you do not have enough of it, the epidermis and the keratin layer crumble and droop. This results in sagging skin or wrinkles.

Collagen is contained in abundance in the organs, skin, bone and cartilage of living organisms. Very little is contained in commonly eaten protein, such as meat and raw fish. Milk, eggs, and soybeans contain absolutely no collagen. For even shark fin, which is rich in collagen, you need to consume two and a half fins to get the daily requirement (5,000 mg).

The magic sentence? WE NEED COLLAGEN!!!!!
Since the instructions are all in Japanese (i don't read japanese!!), moi went to their webbie:

I bought them in Japan for around S$28/tin. Apparently, Guardians in Singapore have began selling the same product as well. A check at the shop shows that they are selling it for S$56/tin!! goodness me! that's double the amount i paid for in Japan!

i haven start taking them yet. Still Kinda skeptical about it. well, i shall wait for my friend's verdict before i give this a try..HAHA
