Collagen is the protein that makes your bones, nails, teeth and hair strong. Collagen is also the main structural component of skin. Starting in our early 20s, however, collagen production declines by about one percent a year. Women in menopause are especially susceptible to collagen decline. Women lose as much as 30 percent of their skin collagen in the five years following menopause. And as if that is not bad enough, skin elasticity declines 0.55 percent per year after menopause.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe effects of slowed collagen production are visibly obvious when skin loses its structure, sags and wrinkles. A second yet equally important component of skin is called elastin. Elastin fibers form a matrix with collagen; together they allow the skin to flex and move. When we are young, the skin naturally renews its collagen and elastin. But with age, and as exposure to sun and environmental toxins damages the skin, this renewal rate slows down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFortunately, it is possible to support collagen and elastic production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSourced from European waters to meet the highest standards of purity, Active Collagen is a marine ingredient composed of collagen and elastin polypeptides present in the same ratio that is naturally found in skin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActive Collagen has a synergistic anti-wrinkle action: when taken orally, collagen and elastin stimulate the skin to lift and tone sagging areas and minimize lines and wrinkles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActive Collagen can also increase the moisture level of dry skin and fight aging related to free radical damage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActive Collagen polypeptides have a low molecular weight, making it water-soluble and easily absorbed by the body.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eINGREDIENTS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ingredients-list\"\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"medicinal\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"ingredient-name\"\u003eHydrolyzed Marine Collagen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ingredient-amt\"\u003e500 mg\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"title\"\u003eNon-Medicinal Ingredients\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"non-medicinal\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ingredient-name\"\u003eHypromellose\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ingredient-name\"\u003eMagnesium Stearate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ingredient-name\"\u003ePurified water\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ingredient-name\"\u003eSilicon dioxide\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"SMART SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45219123363887,"sku":"22401101","price":49.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/2885\/1247\/files\/871776001054.jpg?v=1776628085","url":"https:\/\/mychoicenaturally.ca\/products\/22401101","provider":"My Choice Naturally","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
