There are people that just look like they have the secret of eternal youth - and at the age of 60 or 70 too. Take Annabelle Ruesenberg for example. This is the lady that has been immortalised on the label of our collagen lift drink. She's 56 years young, and now, let's be honest - can you really tell by looking at her? Not at all. And we can assure you of one thing. We haven't touched this photo up or changed it in any other way. How can this be possible?
The magic word for young skin is collagen. A heavily expanding protein body in the connective tissue that - using its superb ability to store water - makes the skin smooth and firm. Defective collagen though leads to crinkles, cellulite, saggy breasts, flabby skin and indentations.
The connective tissue of the skin is being broken down and built back up in a continuous process running 24 hours a day. These skin processes are influenced by our diet. The synthesis (production) of collagen starts to slow down when we reach 25 and is overtaken by the decomposition processes. "So it's important", say dermatologists, "to turn this process around. This means slowing down the decomposition process and providing massive support for the build-up process." Doing this helps the condition of your skin to be improved dramatically within 60 to 90 days.
Collagen makes up around 30% of the total mass of proteins found in the human body and lends the connective tissue its elastic firmness - not just in the skin, but everywhere in the body, including in the organs. It consists of long chains of fibre-like white molecules. These fibres are by far the most solid and firm building materials in the world and are far more resistant then steel fibres at the same density. Astonishingly, these fibres only consist of two amino acids - proline and glycine. The secret of Mother Nature is to twirl up these large molecules into long spirals running anti-clockwise, with three of them interlocked and twisting in a clockwise direction. They are all then bound together by elastic yellow elastin fibres that are just as highly tear-resistant but are still elastic.
This is how an absolutely firm, smooth layer develops under the top layer of the skin, for example on the face, which absorbs pressure and - when we laugh - stretches like rubber, but returns immediately to its original smoothness afterwards.
If there is a lack of protein in the body or even a deficit of other nutrients, or if cortisone-based medication is being taken, the body fetches protein reserves from the connective tissue or from the collagen. Here the collagen decomposition is most noticeable where the most collagen is to be found - in the bones and skin.
"The healthy structure of the collagen in the skin shouldn't actually change for decades", say metabolism experts. In other words - the skin in the face, on the neck, around the chest, the backside and thighs shouldn't become any less firm and sturdy - it should be just as able to brave the everyday pressures at the age of 50 as at the age of 20. Wrinkles, crinkles and crow's feet are technically nothing more than a sign of a poor diet and poor living conditions. Limp areas of skin, furrows or nicks in the skin only develop in areas where the connective tissue has been weakened to an extreme extent. But now there's a new hope for looking young again for all those people whose skin has aged much too quickly.
Our collagen lift drink provides your body with pure collagen hydrolyzate, which in turn stimulates your body into synthesising its own collagen. The reason - collagen hydrolyzate is rich in the amino acids proline and glycine, among others - those amino acids that the body needs urgently to be able to produce its own collagen at all. And that's not the best of it - collagen hydrolyzate contains twice as much of those crucial collagen amino acids compared to nutrient proteins gained from food. You can't find these crucial collagen building amino acids in any kind of food in such a high concentration as in collagen hydrolyzate. This means collagen hydrolyzate is the optimum product to help bolster your connective tissue or your body's internal collagen development.
By bolstering the body's own collagen synthesis, the body's network of collagen fibres can take up its unique job again - binding moisture. Your skin gets exactly what it had in huge quantities during your youth - water. And it's this water, stored in the collagen, that ensures that your skin stays elastic and more. It helps to flatten out those wrinkles and make your skin more taut.
The cherry on top of the collagen lift drink recipe is the latest and greatest anti-aging product directly from Hollywood. The stars swear by Tibetan goji berries as a secret weapon against aging. The author of the best-selling Vitamin Bible himself, Dr. Earl Mindell, said "I believe that Himalayan Goji Juice will have more powerful benefits on health, well-being, anti-aging than any other product I have seen in the last 40 years."
Goji berries are among the most nutritious fruits on this planet. For example, they are thought to explain the very long life expectancy of the Hunzas, who on average live to the respectable age of 100. The Hunzas hold the berry in such high regard that they have national holidays in its honour.
The Goji berry is considered a fruit for long life in Central Asia. Modern science is also taking an interest in this "miracle berry". Older and more recent investigations are proof of the centuries-old reputation of the goji berry as a precious gift of nature. The goji berries contain powerful antioxidants that help to slow down the aging process.
To achieve actual results, you need to take a daily dose of around 8 g of collagen hydrolyzate. This would be very difficult to achieve with capsules, as you would have to swallow extremely large quantities of them. For this reason we offer you pure collagen hydrolyzate as a highly concentrated powder. This means that two heaped teaspoons in a glass of water will suffice to provide your body with around 8 g of this valuable substance per day. The resulting drink has a fruity, delicious redcurrant taste.
10 g (recommended daily amount) of collagen drink powder includes : 8.20 g collagen hydrolyzate , 50 mg vitamin C, 2.75 mg vitamin E and 0.55 mg vitamin B6.
The collagen lift drink is also suitable for diabetics. The bread unit (BU) level is 0.025.
