Let's learn about collagen...

With COLLAGEN being sold everywhere from the pharmacy to Costco and added to everything from Gatorade to air 

It’s important that you know the facts about collagen so you are getting the most bang for your buck!

30% vs 90% absorbed into your body 

POWDER  VS.  LIQUID 

If you're currently taking powdered collagen you need to read this... 

Flip your container over... 

1. Does is say Hydrolyzed collagen? 

•••••It probably does. Your body only absorbs 30% 

2. How many grams are you getting? 

•••••If it’s less than 10g —-> it’s not enough. 

3. Is it just type 1 and type 3? 

    Where and how is it sourced? 

•••••Generic collagen is typically type I/III and is often sourced from carcasses, hooves, skin, and scales. Many dermatologists and consumer groups are concerned because ground-up hooves, hides, and nerve tissues from cows can carry a number of diseases 🤢 

Here's what you need to know ..... 

✅ LIQUID - 90% is absorbed by your body and is 100% bioavailable and absorbs super fast. Where as powder has to be broken down and then absorbed. - proven results in 30 days 

✅ LIQUID - ONLY Liquid Collagen/HA matrix is 10 GRAMS of collagen increasing your skins hyaluronic acid ( this is the wrinkle filler) by 6000% in 28 days 

✅ LIQUID -ONLY Liquid Collagen/HA matrix that I’m using comes from a SINGLE SOURCE, chicken sternum that is derived from a by-product of humanely-treated chickens from the world’s most reputable and regulated farms. ALWAYS non-GMO and antibiotic / hormone-free. It is certified by 3 third-party auditors, NPA, NSF and is cGMP compliant, as per the FDA guidelines (which are not only met but exceeded!!)

✅ LIQUID- Only Liquid Collagen/HA matrix has studies on the exact formulation. Sconces based and science proven. It’s also the >ONLY< collagen proven to 🛑 the aging enzyme hyaluronidase from being released. Let me repeat 👏🏼 STOPS 👏🏼 AGING 👏🏼 ENZYMES 👏🏼   

Just an educated collagen nerd 🤓 over here wanting to share some facts!

I'm always trying to force things...

This morning I was trying to pull the lid off a cup and couldn't figure out WHY it was so hard!  I kept pulling and turning the cup, using a different hand to try again.

Then I realized, it doesn't PULL, it screws on and off.  And it hit me, I was tying to force it as I do so many things in life.  

I remembered when my then in our life step daughter was in our life, but had been mad at us & not spoken to us for I don't know now, maybe 2 months?  I went & got a Starbucks drink & a piece of pumpkin bread and went extending the olive branch.  I was FORCING the forgiveness & I wasn't leaving until she'd heard my apology and we had worked through things.  It worked.

Forcing things seems to be my "thing" my way of dealing with things.

Right now my husband and I are in a rough patch with money & me giving money to my son.  I HATE confrontation, arguments of any kind & can't stand it when someone is mad at me!  I will keep on trying to talk...keep sending funny things, or trying to start a conversation about something - anything!  Dinner, work, whatever.  Anything to force the forgiveness & get the conversation started.

I need to stop forcing the lids in my life and let things be what they are. I just wanted to share that analogy I had this morning as it was very eye opening for me.
