“Dare to defy aging” The signs of aging may be written on your face but if you look more carefully, the problem goes skin deep. Aside from common complaints like wrinkles, dull complexion and sagging skin, the ravages of time may manifest in other ways. Your hair and nails might become more brittle. Wounds would start to heal slower. Joints and muscles would begin to ache more often. The pain of osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease caused by the breakdown and loss of cartilage, would keep you from leading a more active lifestyle. The onset of fatigue would come sooner that suddenly, you’re tired for most of the day. Your energy drops and your confidence follows suit. Eventually, you will be left to wonder where your youthful vibrancy went. These telltale signs of aging may appear when the body decreases collagen production. Collagen is a fibrous protein that makes up the support system for several body tissues such as bones, tendons, cartilage, muscles, skin and various organs like kidneys. It provides our body tissues form, strength and flexibility. Collagen is crucial in maintain the external structure of cells. It encourages bone health, strengthens the blood vessels and cartilage, and preserves skin elasticity, thus promoting smooth, tight and supple skin. Collagen is a naturally occurring bodily component that we produce in abundance when we are young. Hence, youthful skin is wrinkle-free, firm and elastic. But as we get older, our body’s ability to manufacture collagen slows down. And like most things, collagen is subject to wear and tear. It breaks down over time, and as we age, our body’s ability to replace lost or damaged collagen is reduced and more irregularities and complications develop. Studies show that from 25 years old onwards, collagen reduces at a rate of 1.5%, taking into account the effects of diet, lifestyle and pollution which speed the reduction even further. Scientists have been trying to unlock the secrets of aging for years. Among their findings show that replenishing the level of collagen in the body can help delay the aging process. Proper, safe and effective supplementation may compensate for collagen loss, thus promoting a more youthful appearance and renewed vigour. Vital R5 A product of breakthrough research and state-of-the-art Japanese technology, Vital R5 leads the pack in the fight against aging. It contains Amino Acid Fish Collagen, a potent and highly absorbable source of collagen that replenishes collagen stores which diminish with age. This “youth elixir” also contains key ingredients that support collagen production, promote healthier joints and cartilage, improve circulation, and reveal radiant younger looking skin. Hyaluronic Acid – A key component of collagen. It has been called a “space filler” or support scaffolding for living cells because it helps hold cells in place. It is essential in healing wounds, hydrating the skin and addressing wrinkles and other dermatological problems. It also acts as a cushion and lubricant in the joints and connective tissues. It helps keep the cushion between bones (cartilage) from wearing away, thus preventing degenerative joint disease. Glucosamine – Assists in rebuilding and strengthening cartilage, slows the progression of osteoarthritis, and eases pain particularly in weight-bearing joints such as knees, hips, and hands. Arginine – An amino acid that improves blood flow and circulation by changing into nitric oxide, a chemical that causes blood vessels to relax. Early evidence suggests Arginine may help treat vascular complications like chest pains, clogged arteries, coronary artery disease, heart failure, erectile dysfunction and vascular headaches. It is also associated with rapid wound healing and greater collagen synthesis. Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C)– An antioxidant noted for its cell protection properties. It is integral in collagen formation. Without Vitamin C, the collagen produced is defective and weak which may lead to bleeding gums, skin discoloration and painful joints. Collagen coupled with Vitamin C is essential for healthy skin, tissues, cartilage, bones and teeth.
