Collagen is the protein that makes your bones, nails, teeth and hair strong. Collagen is also the main structural component of skin. Starting in our early 20s, however, collagen production declines by about one percent a year. Women in menopause are especially susceptible to collagen decline. Women lose as much as 30 percent of their skin collagen in the !ve years following menopause. And as if that is not bad enough, skin elasticity declines 0.55 percent per year after menopause. The effects of slowed collagen production are visibly obvious when skin loses its structure, sags and wrinkles. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA second yet equally important component of skin is called elastin. Elastin fibers form a matrix with collagen; together they allow the skin to flex and move. When we are young, the skin naturally renews its collagen and elastin. But with age, and as exposure to sun and environmental toxins damages the skin, this renewal rate slows down. Fortunately, it is possible to support collagen and elastic production. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSourced from European waters to meet the highest standards of purity, Active Collagen is a marine ingredient composed of collagen and elastin polypeptides present in the same ratio that is naturally found in skin. Active Collagen has a synergistic anti-wrinkle action: when taken orally, collagen and elastin stimulate the skin to lift and tone sagging areas and minimize lines and wrinkles. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eActive Collagen can also increase the moisture level of dry skin and fight aging related to free radical damage. Active Collagen polypeptides have a low molecular weight, making it water-soluble and easily absorbed by the body. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn a study of 43 women between the ages of 40 and 55 with crow's feet wrinkles, consumption of Active Collagen was found to decrease lines and wrinkles as well as to increase skin moisture. Two grams per day of either Active Collagen or placebo were ingested with a glass of water for 84 days. Subjects' forearm and face skin conditions were measured at day 0, day 28 and day 84. Day 28 through 84 were during winter months to simulate harsh winter conditions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter 28 days, Active Collagen caused a significant decrease of 19 percent of the number of deep wrinkles in 71 percent of the subjects. Maximum benefit was achieved quickly. However, the placebo group experienced an increase in the number of deep wrinkles at both day 28 and day 84. Finally, Active Collagen caused a moisturizing effect on the skin. No side effects were reported. In conclusion, Active Collagen improved skin moisture and decreased the number of deep wrinkles. Active Collagen provided a protective effect against wrinkles compared to the placebo group (who actually experienced an increase in wrinkles). \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eAfter 28 days, Active Collagen significantly decreased the number of wrinkles.

Collagen is the protein that makes your bones, nails, teeth and hair strong. Collagen connective tissues run throughout the body and provide structure for your skeleton, tendons, cartilage and muscles, all of which support your internal organs and protect your softer tissues. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCollagen and Skin\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCollagen also plays a critical role in skin health. You have probably noticed how baby skin is so soft and smooth. Youthful skin is abundant in collagen and elastin fibers that lock in moisture and keep the skin firm. As we age, however, collagen production naturally declines by about 1 percent a year starting in our early 20s. Women in menopause are especially susceptible to collagen deficiency. Research shows that women lose as much as 30 percent of their skin collagen in the five years following menopause. And as if that is not bad enough, skin elasticity declines 0.55 percent per year after menopause. It is the loss of collagen that causes sagging skin and wrinkles. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWomen spend billions of dollars on treatments such as skin fillers, laser and Botox. More so than any expensive treatment, however, it is possible to support beautiful skin and collagen production by choosing nutrients that provide the body with the necessary building blocks such as silicic acid and biotin. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Silicon\/Collagen Connection\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSilicon is a trace mineral required by the body to make collagen. Specifically, silicon is converted into silicic acid that the body requires to manufacture collagen and elastin. Unfortunately, silicon from food, herbs and colloidal (gel) silica supplements is poorly absorbed, resulting in a lack of the building blocks required to make collagen. Collagen Plus contains silicic acid, which is directly used to make collagen. Within two to three months, you will notice an improvement in the smoothness of your skin and in the strength of your hair and nails. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCollagen Plus for Stronger Bones\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCollagen is part of the matrix that ensures strong bones. One in four women has osteoporosis, and hip fractures are a leading cause of disability and sometimes death. Smart women choose Collagen Plus as part of their healthy bone program. Receding gums are an early indicator of osteoporosis, and dentists have reported that Collagen Plus stops receding gums. Weak, fragile nails are also symptoms of poor bone health. To prevent osteoporosis, take Collagen Plus and Multismart. Multismart contains all the bone-building nutrients, including the right forms of calcium, magnesium and vitamin D, along with all of your vitamins and minerals. If you have osteoporosis, take Collagen Plus, Multismart and Bone Booster. Bone Booster contains vitamin K2 MK-7 and vitamin D3, superior forms of nutrients to enhance bone health. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe \"Plus\" in Collagen Plus Is Biotin\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike silicic acid, biotin is important for healthy hair, skin, nails and bones. Food sources of biotin include nuts, egg yolk, wheat bran, oat, barley, liver and brewer's yeast. However, the therapeutic amount of biotin required for healthy hair and nails exceeds that found in the typical diet. Topical biotin, often added to hair care products, is not as effective as biotin in capsule form. Supplemental biotin has been found to increase nail thickness and reduce splitting. Collagen Plus contains 50 micrograms of biotin in each drop.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eEACH DROP CONTAINS:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"500\"\u003e\r\n      \u003ctbody\u003e\r\n        \u003ctr\u003e\r\n          \u003ctd\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\"\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Verdana\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilicon \u003c\/strong\u003e(silicic acid) \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n          \u003ctd\u003e\r\n            \u003cdiv class=\"fr\"\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003e1 mg \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n          \u003c\/td\u003e\r\n        \u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n        \u003ctr\u003e\r\n          \u003ctd\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\"\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Verdana\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBiotin\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n          \u003ctd\u003e\r\n            \u003cdiv class=\"fr\"\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003e50 mcg \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n          \u003c\/td\u003e\r\n        \u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n      \u003c\/tbody\u003e\r\n    \u003c\/table\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eThis product does not contain artificial colours or sweeteners, dairy, soy, shellfish, corn, wheat or yeast. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVEGAN-FRIENDLY GLUTEN-FREE\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/font\u003e\r\n  ","brand":"LORNA VANDERHAEGHE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31720427218,"sku":"3777","price":42.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0408\/7649\/products\/s3777.jpg?v=1489677057"}],"url":"https:\/\/parisnaturalhealthfoods.ca\/collections\/collagen.oembed","provider":"Paris Natural Foods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
