The Cheap Way of Enhancing Collagen

Hello beautiful people,

I had came across on loads of people asking me the use of collagen as a beauty supplement. Well of course many of you guys are tempted to buy all those beauty product with all those successful testimonies and all those beautiful models. Well, who doesn't want to be beautiful right? Even some of them don't mind of what the costs are.

From what I learn in my Cosmetology class, here are the main reason why collagen aren't very effective. A study on collagen has never been done so far. So, I will try my best to explain it in the most simplest way as possible, inshaAllah

1. Collagen that is taken orally can be digested in the stomach 

    Collagen is made up of protein and protein is a big molecules. As we take the pill or the suspension (like a liquid kinda collagen) , it will follow our gastrointestinal tract. Which means that, the collagen will go through our oesophagus and to our stomach and so on. As we all know, the main function of the stomach is to convert from our big food to smaller food so that our intestine can absorb all the nutrient. Then, the nutrient will be circulated inside the blood vessels. So, when this collagen reach to the stomach, the collagen will break down from protein to amino acid and no longer retain its collagen form. By means that, the collagen can no longer work as collagen because it has been broken down into amino acid before it can circulate in the blood vessels. This also means that it will lose its charm.

2. Collagen that work as a gel or cream

    I was also encounter by the use of college cream or lotion or any topical use collagen. As I mention above, collagen are big molecules. As we all know, skin have pores. The pores that lies onto our skin help to filter all those big bacteria and fungus so we wouldn't get sick so easily! So, only the small molecules can pass through your skin barrier. Because collagen is a big molecules, I'm pretty sure that it can't penetrate your skin and loses its charm. Unless, they had invented like a micro size collagen, then I think that might work.

3. Collagen that is injected inside the skin 

    I think this injected collagen might work but I am not sure to give any further information as I haven't discuss this in class.

SO, WHAT IS THE RIGHT CHOICE TO ENHANCE THE PRODUCTION OF COLLAGEN?!!!! :O 

The answer is VITAMIN C

My lecturer once told me about this when we were debating about the use of collagen in our cosmetology class.

1. Vitamin C as collagen enhancer

Many people might not expect for a cute little orange tablet can be your life saviour. Fuhhh.Vitamin C works by enhancing the production of collagen inside your body. The natural collagen which is better and safe!

2. Vitamin C act as immune booster   

You will not only look pretty but you will also feel healthy or even better be healthy. My teacher had advise all of us to consume vitamin C whenever you start to feel like you are getting sick but make sure to consume the effervescence (the one that can dissolve in the water) Vitamin C when you are about to get sick!

As we all know, we are different from each individuals. All of us has our own amount of collagen in the body so the result might be varied between individuals. And, don't expect to get an immediate effect because all the good things take time. Even your own body takes some time to reach puberty to be beautiful. And another important note to tell is that always remember and think that you are beautiful. Only the mind can foul the heart and the heart can fool everybody. The more beautiful you are on the inside, it will reflect on the outside :)

Stay golden

Love xx,
