Enhanced Collagen Protein Pure Beauty

As we age, our skin wrinkles, thins out, and may lack that ‘youthful lift’. Our joints become stiff and wear and tear can occur with any activity. Although aging is inevitable, thanks to research we continue to find more ways to add ‘grace’ to the aging process. Nowadays, fillers and Botox are a pricey, and sometimes a risky route many individuals will take to sustain youthful looking skin. Creams, lotions and serums can be priced in the thousands, with promises to reverse aging. It can all add up and become not only incredibly expensive, but in some cases not as effective as promised. What if I were to tell you that beyond a balanced daily diet and lifestyle, certain supplements can have a HUGE impact on the way your skin ages and your joints feel? Collagen is an important component of our skin and other tissues, and it needs a few key ingredients to stay strong, plump and glorious. Hyaluronic acid is one of those key ingredients! Hyaluronic Acid Hyaluronic acid (HA), is a naturally occurring substance in your body. HA attracts and holds onto water molecules, and in turn, acts as a natural lubricant for the joints and an internal moisturiser for the skin.1 More than half of our natural HA is found in skin tissues,2 and the rest is abundant in our joints, blood vessels, eyes and more.1 As we age, our natural stores of HA decrease, and this is seen in features of our skin such as wrinkles, which become more noticeable due to the loss of moisture.1 Supplementing with Hyaluronic Acid Taking a HA supplement daily is a targeted way to help with the health of your skin while aging, as well as keeping our joints in tip top shape! HA, alongside collagen supplementation, is a dynamic duo that will promote growth and stability in your tissues. The collagen in your skin needs to be well hydrated to maintain good flexibility, which allows it to avoid being easily broken down. Supplementing with HA is a good daily practice as it degrades quickly in our body3, so replacing it is key. Shop Hyaluronic Acid Summing it up Adding HA alongside a collagen supplement is a great way to boost the overall health of your skin and joints. Eating a diet rich in nutrients, and low in processed foods/sugar, will only compliment this process further. Just like any other supplement regime, it is always a great idea to talk to your healthcare provider before making any major changes. Be happy, be healthy and age gracefully!

Le collagène fait fureur auprès de ceux qui cherchent des moyens naturels d'améliorer leur apparence. Cependant, saviez-vous que certains ingrédients peuvent aider à maximiser les bienfaits du collagène sur la beauté ? C'est dans cet esprit qu'Organika® a créé Enhanced Collagen™ Pure Beauty, une formule destinée à vous aider à atteindre votre meilleur éclat naturel ! Acheter Enhanced Collagen Pure Beauty L'ultime mélange de beauté L'association du collagène avec des ingrédients bénéfiques pour la peau est la clé des avantages beauté d'Enhanced Collagen™ Pure Beauty. Regardons de plus près chacun des ingrédients de la formule. Collagène hydrolysé nourri à l'herbe La beauté pure commence par une base solide : La poudre de collagène n°1 au Canada*, provenant exclusivement de bovins nourris à l'herbe. Non seulement elle améliore la santé des cheveux, de la peau et des ongles, mais elle soutient également la santé des articulations afin que vous puissiez conserver un mode de vie actif ! Acide hyaluronique Bien connu comme ingrédient topique pour les soins de la peau, l'acide hyaluronique présente des avantages incroyables pour l'ensemble du corps lorsqu'il est pris par voie orale. Grâce à sa capacité à retenir les molécules d'eau, l'AH agit comme un lubrifiant interne pour les articulations et un hydratant pour les tissus de la peau. C'est un excellent complément à votre routine de santé et de beauté de la peau. Vitamine C L'un des meilleurs alliés du collagène, la vitamine C joue un rôle essentiel dans votre capacité naturelle à former du collagène. Bien qu'elle soit souvent associée à l'immunité, la vitamine C est en fait un puissant antioxydant, qui aide à protéger la peau contre les UV et les dommages causés par les radicaux libres, qui sont des facteurs clés du vieillissement prématuré. Zinc Micronutriment essentiel nécessaire à plusieurs processus de l'organisme, le zinc est une superstar de la santé de la peau : il joue un rôle important dans la production de collagène, la réponse inflammatoire et la cicatrisation. En raison de son action anti-inflammatoire, le zinc est également étudié pour son potentiel dans le traitement de l'acné, en soutien à des formes de traitement ciblées. Silicium Le silicium, également connu sous le nom de silice, est un oligo-élément que l'on trouve généralement dans des sources alimentaires telles que les légumes verts à feuilles et les céréales complètes. Il est couramment utilisé pour renforcer les cheveux et prévenir leur chute, et peut également contribuer à la santé de votre peau et de vos ongles. L'incorporation d'un supplément de silicium peut être particulièrement utile, car ce nutriment n'est pas facilement absorbé lorsqu'il est pris par voie alimentaire. Ajoutez-le à du jus, du kombucha ou votre boisson froide préférée pour un rafraîchissement nutritif. Mélangez-la à vos fruits et légumes préférés et à du lait végétal pour obtenir un smoothie bénéfique pour la beauté. Des points bonus si vous incluez beaucoup d'ingrédients riches en antioxydants, comme des baies ! Restez au frais avec des sucettes glacées au collagène : mélangez-les avec de l'eau de coco et vos fruits préférés, versez-les dans des moules à sucettes glacées, congelez et dégustez !

Ever heard of ingestible beauty? We’ve all heard the adage “beauty comes from the inside”, and science agrees. Despite how much beauty companies want us to believe otherwise, having smooth, glowing skin and strong hair and nails is much more a product of optimal internal health than it is a result of the hair products, cleansers or moisturizers we use. Our hair, nails and skin can be viewed as an external expression of our internal health; if our insides aren’t happy – if our hormones are unbalanced, our immune system is struggling, our digestive system is not working well, or our nervous system overwhelmed - it often shows up on the surface, as brittle nails, dry fragile hair, or skin that is dry, congested or uneven. The cells that make up our hair, nails and skin divide very rapidly, which is why we need to trim our nails and get hair cuts, and why we can heal small cuts and abrasions quickly or shave every day without causing damage. However, to facilitate this rapid division, the cells require a high level of fuel and nutrients to make healthy new cells. So if you are deficient in a particular nutrient it will often show up in your hair, nails and skin first. The most important nutrients for these tissues are water, healthy fats and the protein collagen, which all work to keep your skin hydrated, vital, strong and smooth. The lymphatic system: your body's housekeeper Another key component of keeping your skin, hair and nails healthy, strong and clear is your lymphatic system. It’s a system of vessels that circulates lymph fluid, a clear, water-like substance that picks up waste products and toxins and filters them so they can be removed from the tissues and eliminated from the body in the urine via the kidneys. The only catch to the lymphatic system’s function is that you need to be moving; the lymphatic vessels rely on the contraction of nearby muscles to pump the lymph fluid to where it needs to go. So if you’re not moving, neither is your lymph fluid, and therefore waste products and toxins are accumulating in your tissues and causing cellular dysfunction, that can also start showing up as skin issues. As you start to move around, your muscles contract, the lymph fluid starts moving and the tissues get flushed out, clearing the congestion. Sweating also flushes out toxins and waste products from the skin, clears out pores and the sweat itself has a gentle antimicrobial action on the skin, so it can decrease risk of infection. So the more exercise and the more sweating, the better! Eat well, stay hydrated, keep moving! So you want to have healthy, glowing skin, and strong, resilient hair and nails? Make sure you’re getting enough water – aim for 2-3 L per day. Remember to include healthy fats at every meal – avocados, coconut milk/oil, olive oil, nuts, and seeds are all great sources. Make sure you’re getting enough protein and collagen – good quality, well-sourced meat is a great dietary source of collagen, and you can also use a collagen supplement or use a plant-based collagen booster to ensure adequate intake. Chlorophyll supplementation has also been shown to promote the body’s natural production of collagen, as well as decreasing facial wrinkles and improving the skin’s elasticity. And if that wasn’t enough, taking chlorophyll internally can also help to protect AND repair your skin from UV radiation (sun) damage! Last, but definitely not least, make sure you’re getting lots of heart-pumping, sweat-inducing exercise! At least 30 minutes a day is ideal, but more is better! Just make sure to rinse off after to clear away all the toxins and bacteria in the sweat, and you’ll be glowing in no time.
