Nature is a giant web of interconnected pieces. It’s almost a miracle that even the outer reaches of space somehow play a role in the way we interact with our environment, using the same patterns observed in even the tiniest organism. Science brings it all together and proves over and over again that all the systems in our bodies must work together for a truly vital and healthy system. The body is made up of 11 major systems, but at the structural core of it all is collagen.
Collagen Facts:
Beauty:
70% of the skin is made up of type 1 & 3 collagen
Collagen helps transport nutrients to the hair shaft
Collagen supports strength and thickness of hair and nails
Joints:
100% of tendons are made up with Collagen type 1 & 3
86% of ligaments are made of Collagen type 1 & 3
60% of cartilage is made of Collagen type 1 & 3
Bones:
Over a third of healthy bone is made up of collagen
As you can see, collagen is the primary structural component for all tissues in the body, proving the strength, resilience and flexibility we rely on every day. It also helps in regenerating and forming new tissue. As we age, however, the body’s natural collagen production slows down, at a rate of 1.5% each year after the age of 25 years. As collagen production slows down, collagen fibers in the body become brittle and start to break down, leaving some telltale signs of aging – wrinkles, tendon injuries, and joint pain.
Therefore, collagen supplementation is a crucial part of a healthy regimen for youth and vitality.*
Hyaluronic Acid (HA)
Hyaluronic acid is one of nature’s most water-loving molecules, and it’s role in tissue hydration help to support supple, smooth skin as well as provide lubrication to joints and eyes.** Collagen and HA work in harmony in the body. Collagen provides the mechanical strength of connective tissues, and HA serves to lubricate these tissues.
HA facts:
Holds 1000 times its weight in water for cushioning of the joints
Clinically shown to increase skin hydration
Aids in cell turnover
Lubricates the eye’s surface
Neocell offers Hyaluronic Acid blueberry liquid
It is a 16 ounce bottle of delicious liquid that provides that provides 50mg of bioavailable Hyaluronic Acid per serving plus antioxidants and ionic minerals.
In my experience, I found it to be delicious. I kept it in the fridge a took a spoonful every morning or mixed it in my smoothie. It not only was a great way to start the day with a burst of blueberry flavor, but I noticed my nails were a lot stronger. Previously, my nails were very weak, and I could literally just trim them down without the use of a nail cutter just by peeling them down with my fingers. I also noticed that I didn’t need to use my lubricating eye drops anymore. The benefits of this product are many, as explained above. I highly recommend you try it for yourself.
Antioxidants
Antioxidants are essential to protect collagen tissues from harmful free radicals that damage cells, contributing to the aging process.
Neocell’s Resveratrol Antioxidant
Resveratrol is one of the most potent antioxidants ever researched to help protect the body from free radicals.* Resveratrol has been hailed as one of the most important discoveries of this century due to its potent antioxidant properties and its ability to stimulate SIRT-1, which is known as the “longevity gene.”*
Neocell uses the highest quality source of resveratrol: red wine grapes, grape vine and grape seed from Bordeaux, France. It contains the purest form of resveratrol: transresveratrol for cellular rejuvenation.*
This product contains 150 capsules, containing 100mg of trans-resveratrol per serving. Also it is Knot-weed free, which is a big deal in the resveratrol world, meaning it is as pure as can be without contaminants.
My experience with this product was amazing. The capsules are not too big, and they are easy to swallow. They don’t taste weird or leave me with a weird after-taste. I felt great and was excited that I was giving my body amazing antioxidants, which would help me with my hair, skin, nails, joints and more. I felt like I was able to exercise longer and without any cramping afterwards. I highly recommend you try this for yourself.
