I’ve been hearing about collagen for many years, how it can help slow aging and it’s so many beautifying effects. However, I’ve always been not so keen in taking in supplements, even multi-vitamins, that much. When the pandemic happened, I knew that I need to be more pro-active when it comes to achieving good health. After all, I’m not getting younger, my kids are getting older and my career as a work at home mom has been demanding a lot more from me.
So to satisfy my curiosity about collagen, I searched some information about collagen and I plan to ask my ob-gyne soon about it as well.
For now, I found out from sources that indeed, collagen has many good effects and here are some of them that I really love to see in my body soon:
- can improve skin health and can reduce wrinkles – I don’t have wrinkles yet but I am starting to feel dryness on my face often especially when my period is near.
- can help relieve joint pain
- can help reduce bone loss
- can help boost muscle mass
- can help the heart to be healthier
If you read this list carefully, you’ll realize that all of these things are signs of aging and who doesn’t want to slow down aging, right?
As of this writing, I’ve taken in a capsule of Puritan’s Pride Hydrolyzed Collagen for two weeks already. I don’t have that visible change on my skin and I still feel dryness some of these days but one thing I noticed is that the pain on my ankle that I usually feel in the morning was gone. I also noticed that when I walk on the treadmill, I can stay walking for more than 30 minutes – 1 hour already when previously, I couldn’t. I already stop when I hit 30 minutes.
I plan on continue drinking these Puritan’s Pride collagen capsules (1 bottle contains 180 caplets) and I feel positive to seeing more good results on me including shiny hair and nails.
Puritan’s Pride is actually having the #HealthIsEveryday campaign that encourages holistic wellness practices that combine a healthy diet, an active lifestyle and ensuring that we meet daily vitamin requirements. Their current brand ambassador is celebrity mom Camille Pratts-Yambao who showed up in the media launch looking radiant and so fit! Camille’s daily routine includes Puritan’s Pride’s Hydrolyzed Collagen, Puritan’s Pride’s Vitamin C with Citrus Bioflavonoids and Rose Hips,Vitamin D3 and and Zinc Gluconate.
“Staying healthy is a form of self-love, and is also an act of love and concern for others. I choose to stay well and healthy for my family, so that we can all get through these tough times, and so that we can enjoy what life has to offer,” Camille said. I couldn’t agree more. Like her, I want to live a longer life where I am free of diseases and I have the energy I need to do what I want with my kids and my husband.
Puritan’s Pride is available nationwide in select Watsons stores, and online at Lazada, Shopee, Zalora, BeautyMNL and Watsons Online and via their website in puritanspride.ph.
