Review: Meiji Amino Collagen (When Chic Hits The Pan)

What? Meiji Amino Collagen How much? 1,390php Where to buy? Japanichi
I think I'm done with the whitening obsession phase. My skin has reached it's peak of fairness and no matter what glutathione supplement I intake, it's tone would remain the same. I mentioned in my glutathione FAQ that we have our maximum level for fairness and once we go there, we stay there. Now not many of you know that I just turned 28 and as I go near the end of the calendar my interest went to retaining my skin's youth, elasticity, radiance, and glow. Takot ako tumanda! I want to look forever 21! Chos!
Here are some of the collagen supplements I have featured already:

Meiji Amino Collagen - According to them

This unique powder formula works better than creams and lotions which can't actually penetrate deeply enough to increse skin's collagen. Add this easy to mix powder to any beverage once a day and see the results in a few short weeks. Studies show improvement in appearance, elasticity, and texture of the skin; plus health benefits to bones, joints, and muscles.
The unique production process reduces the collagen mollecule to about 1/60th of its original size for optimal absorption. The powder mixes easily into liquid which is the best way to introduce it to the body. Meiji Amino Collagen is derived from marine sources which have been shown to be superior to poultry or bovine collagen products.

How to Take

I take one scoopful daily. I mix it with 1 glass of water. You can mix it with other drinks if you prefer since it is relatively tasteless

Taste/Texture/Smell

While it is tasteless, you can't erase the fact that it's made out of fish. It has a very fishy aftertaste and a very fishy smell. See my photo up there? I clip my nose with my fingers so I don't smell anything. #tiisganda

Effects

No Filter. Latest photo as of 5/14/2015. Green hair pa din!

Besides helping my skin look plumper and awake. I noticed less muscle pain or delayed onset muscle soreness the day after working out at the gym. I have fine lines on my forehead already and that is what I'm trying to "blur" out without going into surgery or botox (not yet!) and after consistently taking this for 1 month (and counting!) I do notice a bit of "filling-in" happening.

Results (Before and After)

Since I relatively have good skin already, I don't really have a drastic before & after photo to show off myself. But this I know for sure, taking Meiji Amino Collagen is one of the best decisions I've made. But to see is to believe. Look at the astounding results below during their intake of Meiji Amino Collagen (photos found through google search)

Photo not mine. If this is yours tell me so I can give credit.

Will I buy again?

YES. A HUGE YES. I don't think I plan on going back to local collagen brands even. There is something with authentic Japan produced supplements that spell out QUALITY. I may try other brands tho pretty soon once I run out of this one. For 1,390php, this is even cheaper than its local competitors. I'm reviewing FRACORA collagen next so stay tuned! *wink*

How about you? What's your latest skincare obsession?
