Some of the lovely MFP bloggers and I were engaged a few months back to be part of a R&D process on helping to define a new collagen drink.
We went through a blind test on different flavours (had to drink something else to cleanse my palate after every taste, so professional please!) and also help to choose packaging that we found attractive and in line with what the product is all about.
I remember choosing the one that tasted like Tropical Fruits. Super nice!
And what test is it if it's not measurable right! We did a skin test last year and went home with 1 month supply of the products. The skin test was to measure the collagen drink's efficacy towards improving the level of collagen, elasticity and moisture in our skin.
I took 1 bottle a day and here were my results before & after 1 month of consumption!
| BEFORE | AFTER 1 MONTH | CHANGE | |
| Collagen | 25 | 55 | +120% |
| Elasticity | 15 | 41 | +193% |
| Moisture | 57 | 49 | -14% |
I am super impressed with the 193% increase in elasticity and 120% increase in collagen! I was wondering how come moisture decreased by a little and the lady doing the skin test told me it's probably because I spent an entire day in air con room before meeting her. True enough.
But 195% & 120% increase in collagen & elasticity respectively leh! I am very impressed!
And across the other 9 bloggers who are part of this test, everybody saw an increase in collagen and elasticity!
At the point of the blind test, I didn't know which brand was this going to be. But now I know! They have finally launched in Singapore and it's the New Moon Inner Radiance Collagen.
Their KEY UNIQUE SELLING POINT?
New Moon Inner Radiance Collagen has one of the HIGHEST collagen content at 13,000mg with active whitening properties!
This promises you 5 key benefits:
- Refine and firms skin (achieved with 193% increase in elasticity in 1 month)
- Improves skin defence system (I didn't have any breakouts during the test, but then I don't usually have breakouts anyway)
- Boost skin hydration (I don't think it boosted mine by a lot since it recorded as -14% after being in a air con room. Maybe I need to consume this product longer!)
- Brighten skin tone (this was not measured but I did notice that my face is more radiant than before)
- Renew skin (this is measured by the amount of collagen in your skin and I got an increase of 120%! Amazeballs)
The 3 key ingredients that set this apart from other collagen drinks in the market is:
1) Collagen dosage (13,000mg) which is one of the HIGHEST in the market.
2) Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that plays a vital role in:
- detoxifying our cells (remove all toxins)
- improve health of our cells (a radiant glow is result of healthy cells and reduced toxicity in the body), and
- helping to minimise age spots!
3) Maqui Berry Extract. Maqui Berry has the highest anti-oxidant properties based on ORAC value.
This is truly beauty from inside out, and if I want to keep looking young, I better start caring for my skin now. You know what they say about how you can't turn back time. :)
That's all for today! Wish you all good health and good skin!
