Do Collagen Powders Actually Work?

When you consider that declining collagen production is one of the main factors in the visible signs of ageing, it’s small wonder that collagen supplements promising smoother, firmer skin have become popular in recent years. 

But do they actually work?  

My friend, Janine Tait, New Zealand’s leading dermo-nutritionist and the founder of Bestow Beauty skin nutrition products was sceptical.

Janine says, “I thought collagen powders were a bit of a hoax until I became sick. A trusted mentor recommended collagen powder to help heal my gut. I began looking into the medical research and discovered that I had bought into a lot of negative myths about collagen supplements that were simply not true.”

Janine discovered that collagen supplementation actually does product real results. Most of us lack the key protein-based building blocks needed for healthy collagen production. Without them, we can’t produce collagen so taking a collagen supplement addresses this nutritional gap. 

There is a common myth that our body can’t absorb collagen powder. This is not true. Collagen powder is a protein and our bodies are experts at digesting and absorbing proteins. There is however some evidence to suggest that the smaller the molecular weight of the collagen peptides, the more easily they are absorbed. When Janine developed Bestow Collagen Boost Powder she formulated it with this in mind, creating New Zealand’s most bioavailable collagen.

So the good news is that Bestow Collagen Boost Powder can in fact slow down the visible signs of skin ageing. It helps to boost skin elasticity, plump out wrinkles and promote younger looking skin, just like you hoped it would.
