As we grow older, we start to lose our skin’s elasticity. I have heard about the wonderful benefits of taking collagen to restore that but just never got around to until this week, when I got to try this wonderful product called Mu Mieux Collagen Beauty Drink by Mary Chia.
What is collagen?
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body needed to maintain the structure and density of your skin. Collagen proteins derived from fish contain high amounts of amino acids and peptides directly involved in the formation of collagen and elastin.
Approximately 80% of young and healthy skin is made up of collagen. However, our skin gradually loses the ability to regenerate naturally and produces less collagen in our mid-30s.
Around 35 and 55 years of age, the collagen drops to 40% resulting in the loss of firmness and the formation of wrinkles.
At what age can you start to take collagen?
On average, collagen and elastin production begins to slow down when we reach the age of 25. By the time we are 40, we would have lost almost 25% of our optimum collagen level. The slow down and depletion of our collagen reserves continue henceforth – but this does not have to be the case! The earlier one begins, the better the long term benefits. But improvements can be made at any age.
Why Mu Mieux?
Mu Mieux contains BHN collagen which shows better absorption among collagens with same molecular weight. Also, CoQ10, Ceramide, and Vitamin C & E are added to the formulation for enhanced skin hydration, elasticity and luminosity.
Below is a detailed breakdown of ingredients and their benefits.
How to use?
One bottle (50ml) per day is the recommended dosage. Excess collagen is generally not absorbed by the body and would be a waste of the collagen product.
The instructions on how to use it is written on the back of each bottle of and is quite easy to do. To maintain your skin’s optimum collagen levels for youthful suppleness, consume one bottle per day before bedtime. For best enjoyment of this premium Mu Mieux collagen product, it is recommended that the product be chilled before consumption. Shake well before consumption; consume the entire bottle upon opening.
What does it taste like?
I’ve read that other collagen products have a fishy taste, but Mu Mieux doesn’t. It taste just like fruit juice. Yum! It does taste better chilled, so I recommend popping it into the fridge before taking a swig.
When will you start to see results?
So far I’ve consumed half of a box of Mu Mieux collagen with 8 bottles in it, so I did not really notice a major change in my skin, to be honest. That is until I compared bare-faced pics I took before and after I started taking the products, when I realised that there is a difference! See below. I used zero skin makeup and editing on both pics. My skin does have a nice healthy glow to it in the after pic, does it not? So I think it’s working!
Other customers have reported noticing their skin becoming more hydrated and supple within 2-3 weeks. However, results do differ for individuals due to lifestyle habits such as diet, smoking, alcohol consumption, sleeping habits, and exposure to UV rays.
Overall, I’d say that it is a pretty promising product, so why not give it a try?
