Hydrolyzed Collagen Protein (Sugar Free)

Raspberry, Strawberry Hydrolysed Collagen Protein & Emergen-C

A natural food substitute that:

• Helps to maintain a healthy weight
• Safe for Diabetics 1 & 2
• Promotes weight loss
• Cornerstone in the development of great skin. Although this collagen product does not remove wrinkles, it does make your skin more supple and youthful-looking after a few months of consistent consumption.
• Treats Cellulite
• Improves convalescence
• Ideal for people who do not eat meat

Facts

• Collagen makes up 75% of the dermis and represents 90% of cutaneous volume.
• Skin starts to lose its elasticity, or collagen, at a rate of 1.5% per year after about the age of 25.
• Collagen is not found in non-meat food;
• Collagen holds the skin together. It is the most abundant structural protein in the human body: 60% of the body is made of connective tissue and collagen makes up 80% of connective tissue.
• Collagen acts as the skin’s support structure. Repeated facial movements and ageing gradually weaken the collagen framework.
• Collagen acts within the body.

Characteristics

• Easy on the liver (because it’s pre-digested).
• Protects cells and helps the body build new cellular structure after an injury.
• Provides the necessary support for cells so they can reproduce and create new tissue. Fractured bones regenerate; wounds heal more quickly; new blood vessels are formed to nourish tissues being repaired.
• Provides amino acids that maintain and boost energy and enhances a diet’s calorific value.
• May reduce appetite if taken before meals.
• Significantly reduces wrinkles and fine lines, and improves skin’s elasticity, and brightens skin tone.
• Reduces and even eliminates Rosacea;
• Skin texture becomes firmer if collagen is taken on a regular, daily basis for at least 90 days (time needed for cell renewal). The body rejuvenates itself more quickly and is provided with the collage it needs to increase muscle mass, which is synonymous with youthfulness.
• Skin looks healthy and radiant. Collagen nourishes the skin and has cumulative effects.
• Helps to restore skin’s natural collagen and protects the skin against pollutants due to free radical activity. Connective tissue is regenerated.
• Reduces pain from rheumatoid arthritis and reduces cellulite.

Indications

• Obesity
• Cellulite
• Overweight
• Rosacea
• Convalescence
• Arthritis
• Skin revitalization

Importance of the Dermis & Where Protein Collagen is found beneath the epidermis lies a much thicker skin layer, the dermis. The dermis can be as much as 3000 micrometers thick.
The dermis is composed largely of the protein collagen. Most of the collagen is organized in bundles running horizontally through the dermis, which are buried in a jelly-like material called the ground substance. Collagen accounts for up to 75% of the weight of the dermis, and is responsible for the resilience and elasticity of the skin.

The collagen bundles are held together by elastic fibres running through the dermis. These are made of a protein called, “elastin”, and make up less than 5% of the weight of the dermis. Despite their name, they are not involved in the natural elasticity of the skin.

As skin gets older, it loses some of its elasticity and ability to retain water. Collagen production declines as does subcutaneous fat and the facial muscles start to atrophy (massed collagen and elastin fibres in the dermis). Both collagen and elastin fibres are made by cells called fibroblasts, which are scattered through the dermis.

Special substances in the ground substance, called glycoprotein’s, can hold large amounts of water, and is responsible for maintaining a mass of water in the dermis.

Hyaluronic acid is another important substance that forms part of the tissue that surrounds the collagen and elastin fibres. It has the ability to attract and bind hundreds of times its weight in water. In this way, it acts as a natural moisturising ingredient responsible for the skin's plumpness and moisture reserve. As we get older, the amount of hyaluronic acid produced in the skin naturally gets less. This is one reason why aging skin becomes less resilient and supple (pliable). Another reason for skin aging is that collagen and elastin production declines as the years go by, particularly after the menopause, so that some of the skin's natural properties are lost.

Medicinal Ingredients
Each tablespoon (15 ml) contains Hydrolyzed collagen 4.5 g equivalent to 4,500 mg. Hydrolyzed collagen protein, a pre-digested protein, is extracted from animal connective tissue (New Zealand beef) and contains the amino acids that make up natural proteins. It also helps with the digestion of fat.

Non-Medical Ingredients
Purified water, glycerin, strawberry or raspberry flavour, propylene glycol, anhydrous citric acid, amaranth, sodium benzoate, methylparaben, sorbic acid, surcalose.

Directions
For skin revitalization 1 tablespoon per day is adequate. If you are going into surgery and your skin will be cut, it is recommended that you increase the dosage from 1 to 2 tablespoons a day 2 weeks to the surgery. If possible take in the hospital or as soon as you return home increase the dosage to 4 tablespoons per day for 2 weeks and then return to a maintenance dose of 1 tablespoon per day.

If you are on the Ideal Protein Diet 4 tablespoons (60 ml) daily will replace one portion of protein (18 g). It should only be taken at the beginning of Phase 1. Feel free to dilute into cold or room temperature water or taken directly from the bottle. Ensure the bottle is kept refrigerated upon opening. This is a non-sugar added formulation, safe for both dieters and diabetics or other individuals looking to increase their Collagen intake. An appropriate diet should be suggested when this product is used as a food substitute. For maximum benefits this product should be taken with Emergen-C!

Emergen-C $23.99

We only posse three of the four enzymes necessary to make ascorbate vitamin C from glucose. The vast majority of animals, aquatic and terrestrial, reptilian and mammalian, make their own ascorbate in their liver proportional to body mass. For example a rat makes 7,000 to 12,000 mg of ascorbate per day.

All of the other species that cannot produce vitamin C (including apes, guinea pigs, and fruit-eating bat) consume a plant-predominant diet of fresh raw vegetation. Man is the only creature on earth that both cannot make ascorbate vitamin C and has a low intake of ascorbate-rich foods. Interestingly as well, animals with high ascorbate levels rarely experience heart disease. Only human beings suffer from heart disease. So what happens when you take an animal like a guinea pig (which, like us, does not make its own ascorbate) and feed it an ascorbate-deficient diet? Research has shown heart disease results, in weeks rather than years due to their shorter lifespan of the animal. Current research is suggesting 2,000 to 4,000 mgs per day.

Generally one medium size orange contains 70 mgs of Vit C thus you would have to consume 14 of them to obtain the same amount of Vit C found in a 1,000 mg single serving of Emergen-C. Each box of Emergen-C priced at $23.99 contains 30 single serving packs or the equivalent of 420 medium sized oranges or 35 dozen medium sized oranges. A dozen oranges generally cost $3.00 ($105/35 dz). In this example you are saving $81 by purchasing Emergen-C as opposed to oranges to get the same amount of Vit C, plus you wouldn’t get diarrhea from eating all those oranges!

YOU’RE KIDDING, THIS GUY IS 54!

Would you agree that this person at 54 has really good skin?

How is this possible considering:

• This individual ate junk food for years often eating one meal a day;
• Smoked 1.5 packs of cigarettes a day for 17.5 years;
• 25 years a workaholic;
• Practitioner of sleep deprivation;
• At 42 developed Type 2 Diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol;
• Has venous insufficiency forcing him to wear compression socks;
• At 41 was 356 pounds;
• At 51 introduced to insulin injections?

“Yes, the bag on the outside is pristine, but inside I often think that the bad lifestyle choices I have made have left me tissues rotten to the core on the inside,” states Paul Avis, Co-Owner of Beauty-Full Spa in Pickering, Ontario, Canada.

Most smokers are ignorant about the overall importance of vitamin C with insufficient quantities believed to speed up aging of the skin, and dramatically reduce their overall performance of their immune system. With every cigarette inhaled a smoker removes 25 mg of vitamin C directly from their body. In Paul’s case that amount was approximately 625 mg a day. “I calculated one day that I had spent approximately 153,000 minute smoking, a pre-HST investment of $46,000 and my return on investment, less than an Enron share”, states Paul. He further states, “It wasn’t until I was introduced to 1:1 ratio of Hydrolyzed Collagen Protein and 1000 mg of mineral ascorbate vitamin C that allowed me to repair the exterior damage I was doing to myself. What was also amazing is how fast I heal whenever I damaged my skin from cuts, scrapes, or burns.”

Collagen is the key component of the connective tissue that gives your skin its volume. Generally one active collagen cell retains eight times its’ weight in water. For a moment, think of your skin as a sponge that at the age of 25 is 100% hydrated. Moving forward you lose 1.5% of the sponge’s water per year leading to a skin volume reduction of approximately 60% at age 65. It is believed that by ingesting Hydrolyzed Collagen Protein and mineral ascorbate vitamin C on a daily basis you can reverse this process. It sure has worked for Paul and many of his clients, all races, smokers and non-smokers!
