❤Review : Milcolla Collagen Powder❤

Today’s topic is about COLLAGEN… Collagen plays a very important role is beauty and contributes skin care benefits. Collagen is the primary protein of the extracellular matrix and connective tissue which also is an important structural protein throughout the body.
As we grow older, collagen at our skin surface starts to deplete and the continuous loss of collagen contributes to saggy skin, fine lines, and wrinkles and so on. This is absolutely a no no to females out there, we definitely do not want to have fine lines and wrinkled face. Plumped skin gives a more youthful look. I must emphasize again, our skin starts to age at the age of 25 onwards, so preventive is better than to be sorry.
Since Collagen naturally declines with age, to restore the collagen in our body, we need to take in foods that are capable of helping the skin to maintain youthful collagen. Food that contains vitamin A such as carrot, spinach and melon (go google on food that contains Vitamin A and you will be able to find a lot).
However, a lot of us who is busy working have excuse like “no time to cook meals for ourselves” “No time to eat meals, so take fast food” this is where supplements can come in to make our life easier. I heard about this Suntory Milcolla Collagen Powder through Taiwan beauty variety show 女人我最大 and got curious over it. I reckoned it’s a great idea to add collagen powder to our daily drink or meals and we can maintain our body’s collagen content without hassles. The only hassle is you need to put the Collagen Powder into the drink or meal you are having. (Which will not take u more than 3 minutes!!)
I got mine off Q0010 from this seller - SENTOHEAL
Super fast delivery and nicely bubble wrapped. They do carry lots of other beauty supplements too. Which is all seems to be very attractive to me.. haha. You will be able to find a lot of sellers through Qoo10 who carries this product.

I overall liked this product very much. It does not have the fishy taste or smell like some of the collagen product has which is a great plus to me. It does come with a spoon however it’s not the spoon that Suntory provides hence I am not too sure if its measures correctly.
I normally put it one spoonful into my milk tea daily and I have been consuming it for at least one week. (Remember not to put the Collagen powder to beverage that is too hot, as heat will destroy Vitamin C).
I have seen slight regain of skin suppleness and overall felt good. It also helps in girls who are suffering from constipation as it contains lactic-acid bacilli.  
I will certainly repurchase it and continue on the product. Highly recommend my new holy grail product to all my readers and friends.

Vita Yin Yang Cordyceps Capsules – Sponsored Post ❤

I was contacted by Ms Elfaine for The Sample Store to try out 1 month supply of Vita Yin Yang(Cordyceps capsules) by the company Vita Green. At 1st I was pretty sceptical to try such supplement as it is meant to be consumed in.

To be honest, I do not have much knowledge about Chinese herbal Medicines. Hence, I visited the VitaYin Yang link and researched on Cordyceps before taking up this sponsorship (I want to make sure that my readers get the best information out of this post.. haha… to those who are not familiar with Chinese herbal medicines).

According to the website, Vita Yin Yang is made from manufactured pure cultivated Cordyceps. Cordyceps has long been regarded as an elixir of life, which was consumed by the imperial and wealthy families as an exclusive nutritional supplement (expensive stuff!!) Cordyceps possesses both therapeutic and nutritional properties for overall health (have shown this to my mum and she said that is good for health and encourage me to take regularly).

Cordyceps are also known as Chinese Caterpillar Fungus ( it actually looks like worm to me but it’s not!!) Cordyceps is a composite herb of the stroma of the fungus and its host, the dead caterpillar (Fam. Hepialidae). Which is why Cordyceps are commonly called “winter worm. Summer Grass” (冬虫草).


Vita YinYang is an ultimate health enhancer for kidneys, lung and immune functions. It helps to tonify kidney and lung yin.  I have heard from my colleague that it regulates your body’s immune system ( good for me as I am always feeling tired and sick). 










Product Description

Pollution, stress, poor diet and lack of exercise can all take their toll on our lungs and kidneys, giving rise to illness and disorders. In Chinese medicine, kidney and lung function are related so that a weakness in either organ can create problems such as respiratory discomfort, coughing and general malaise. Made from premium Cordyceps, Vita Yin Yang can help the kidneys to retain useful nutrients; excrete harmful substances and alleviate excretory problems; relieve symptoms of weak kidneys such as tiredness; and delay the need for medical intervention such as kidney washouts. Improved lung functions include relief from coughing and breathing discomforts and improved inhalation and exhalation.

Ingredients

Cordyceps sinensis (Fermented)

Dosage

For health maintenance, 1 capsule daily, take orally.
For health improvement, 2 or 3 capsules daily, take orally.

I was impressed by the packaging. At 1st I thought it would be capsules in a bottle like normal supplements but when I opened up the box, the capsules were packed in individual of 10 capsules per pack. These also make it more travel friendly. 

The capsule has a very strong Chinese medicine smell however it’s tasteless when consumed. This is a plus as most of the Chinese medicines are bitter. 

I feel that this Cordyceps capsules had really improved my immune system. My body kinda felt “warmer”. Normally in air-conditional places, I tend to get cold very easily but after consuming VitaYin Yang Capsules I don’t feel as cold as what I used to be.

For other benefits, I have yet to feel it. Probably I have only started to take this for about 2 weeks. I will continue to consume and update you guys if more benefits are discovered.

Hope this post is beneficial to you J
