The Benefits of Collagen: Revive Collagen Review

As a precursor to my Revive Collagen Review, it is important to understand a little bit more about collagen: what it is and how it benefits us.

Bones, Muscles and Blood

Collagen is naturally found in our bones, muscles, and blood. Our skin is three-quarters collagen, and it forms one-third of the protein in our bodies.
Our bodies need diverse types of foods that can help our bodies produce collagen. These building blocks are:
• Zinc: one of the best sources of zinc, an important mineral, are oysters. Beef, lamb, pork, legumes, dairy products, nuts, and seeds are also good sources.
• Vitamin C: citrus fruits and vegetables, especially red peppers.
• Copper: cacao, cashews, sesame seeds and lentils
• Glycine: gelatinous skin from meat and fish products and other protein rich foods such as nuts
• Proline: egg whites, dairy products, cabbage, mushrooms, asparagus

Unfortunately, as we age, our existing collagen breaks down and it becomes increasingly more difficult for our bodies to make more. It is frequently at this point people look to an effective supplement to replace the collagen our bodies are rapidly losing.

Collagen provides us with strength, structure, and support. Amongst the many benefits of collagen, it can help replace dead skin cells and allows new skin cells to grow, thus rejuvenating and revitalising hair and skin.

It is therefore hardly surprising that collagen has been hailed as the holy grail of skin care for adults of all ages, but particularly for post-menopausal women.

Revive Collagen Review

I am not a high maintenance person. I have a basic skin care routine and spend little on beauty products. But when offered the opportunity to review Revive Collagen, I was delighted – and I am equally thrilled with the results!

Now don’t get me wrong. I am in my mid-seventies and have quite a few wrinkles. They have not magically disappeared. However, after a month of using Revive Collagen I really can confirm that my skin looks so much better. I am very fair and prone to dry skin, but there is now a sort of radiance to my face and yes, the wrinkles are finer. My hair looks glossier, and my nails are stronger too.

Excellent results, I think you will agree, especially in quite a brief period. I can therefore thoroughly recommend this product.

Revive Collagen Enhanced Plus

The product I trialled was Revive Collagen Enhanced Plus. This is a 10,000mg type 1 hydrolysed marine collagen that also contains Retinol and Keratin, plus 100% of your RDA (recommended dietary allowance) of Vitamin B6, B12, C & D. It is also free from artificial colours and flavourings, added sugar, and is diary, gluten, GMO, and soy free.

The product comes in a convenient, daily sachet format. I really loved the flavour and texture which is reminiscent of a bitter orange liqueur. I would happily pour it over ice cream! But if you do not like the flavour you can dilute with water or add to other drinks.

Vegan Collagen

The good news for vegans and vegetarians is that Revive Collagen comes in various options including the world’s first clinically proven vegan collagen
