Product Review: Kabaya Collagen Gummy

     Hello, dearies! I’ve been taking and reviewing collagen supplements for years now and late last year, I discovered a new, fun, and delicious way of taking it through chewing! Collagen gummy supplement is making a name in the anti-aging department these days. According to healthline.com, gummy vitamins per see are chewable vitamins that have a texture and taste similar to gummy candies. It comes in different flavors, colors, and shapes. 

     More popular with adults and kids these days because it's so convenient to take especially for those who are having a hard time ingesting vitamins and supplements because of their size or aftertaste. I can say that it's a great innovation for collagen supplement because, for those who's been taking it, the first thing that will make you cringe is the taste whether it's a flavored powder or liquid form. Anyhoo, it has been three months since I started taking this delicious and collagen packed gummy supplement and saw improvements in my skin already. Sharing a detailed review and why this is my new HG (Holy Grail) collagen supplement after the jump!

Product Review: Tatiomax Glutathione Complex with Fucoidan 1800 mg

     Multivitamins, dietary supplements, and everything in between that will boost the immune system in the time of pandemic is in or should I say it a must! Whenever I buy my son's vitamins at the drugstore, the SA (sales attendant) will always recommend a random glutathione brand that I need to take in conjunction with vitamin c for more health benefits.

     So today, I'll be reviewing an all in one supplement for whiter, younger and glowing skin. This brand has been in the market for years now and if my memory serves me right, Tatiomax Glutathione Complex with Fucoidan is a new formulation- an advanced anti-aging formula for detoxification, immune boosting, cell rejuvenator and potent antioxidant. If you’re the type who likes to take anti-aging and overall wellness to the next level, this supplement is for you. A bit pricey but it’s FDA approved plus vegetarian-friendly. Cheska's Store sent this for me to try and test if it's true to their claims especially in the whitening and anti-aging department. Sharing more of my after taking this capsule for one month below.

Product Review: Shiseido The Collagen Powder

     And the search for the best or at least right collagen for me continues. When I say right, it only means the one that will give me the glow and youthful skin sans the plump cheeks. I love the effects of collagen in my skin but my round face looks rounder and adds volume to my chubby cheeks. I always feel like I'm gaining weight when taking collagen that's why the search is still on for me and for those who want glowing and supple skin minus the weight gain.

     Kudos to Shiseido for making collagen supplement easily accessible and readily available in all forms! From tablet, liquid, now in powder form. After roadtesting this product for 21 days, I can say that the powder form is also effective like Shiseido The Collagen Tablet but...

Product Review: Shiseido The Collagen Tablet

     I've tried a handful of collagen supplements in the past and I have favorites that really delivers in making my skin moist, supple, and glowing. I'm happy that collagen supplements are now available in different forms- powder and juice drink, tablet, gummy, and candy to name a few. But I have this love-hate relationship with collagen because it adds a visible weight to my round face shape.

     For women who have slim facial features, you're lucky because most of the collagen supplements are designed to plump the skin making your face look less haggard. It gives an extra lift to sagging cheeks. There's one brand that I love because I saw the effects as early as 1 week, but I hate because like with other brands, it gives me a double chin and bigger face in photos- Shiseido The Collagen Tablet. Full review after the jump!

Product Review: DHC Collagen

     I've known the brand DHC for a long time now because my cousin who lives in Japan said that it's a good brand. It's a brand of cheap yet effective food supplements ranging from nutritional, whitening, and anti-aging ones. They also have skin care products like the infamous DHC Cleansing Oil and DHC Eyelash Tonic.

     Anyhoo, Cheska's Online Store sent me the trending supplement from DHC as of the moment- DHC Collagen last month to try. Collagen supplement is perfect for my age and it's one of the supplements that I need now as collagen production in the mid 30's starts to decline. Sharing with you my thoughts on DHC Collagen after the jump

Product Review: Orihiro Most Chewable Collagen

     Hello dearies! Sharing with you my thoughts on Orihiro Most Chewable Collagen. Yep, you've read that right- chewable collagen. I know collagen users will rejoice because this supplement from Orihiro is chewable. It's easy to ingest and smells so yummy too because of peach flavor. The only downside of Orihiro Most Chewable Collagen is the collagen content.

     I'm surprised to see that it only contains 400 mg of collagen for 2 tablets already. The required amount is 5,000 mg for ages 30 and above. Even though there's a small amount of collagen per serving size, I still saw a difference in my skin after taking it for two months. I guess the maximum results will be seen after consuming everything inside the bottle. So without further ado, here's my honest to goodness review of Orihiro Most Chewable Collagen supplement below :)

Product Review: Otsuka Collagen C Jelly

     Hello dearies! Sharing with you a review of Otsuka Collagen C Jelly anti-aging supplement. This product is a hot item in Japan and to those who have tried it, their experience was good. Before Cheska's online store sent me this product for a review, I've seen a pack of Otsuka Collagen C Jelly inside my sister's bag. She said that her college friend who goes to Japan for a vacation gave it to her.

    I was intrigued because it's new to me. Collagen in jelly stick form? Surprisingly, yes. From powder form and juice drinks, now comes jelly sticks! Will this type of collagen make it big here in our country in the anti-aging department? I've heard this type of collagen is famous in Japan because it's convenient to use and the fruity flavor makes it easier to consume. Full review details of Otsuka Collagen C Jelly below :)

Product Review: Otsuka Collagen C Jelly 

   
     Look at the color of the packaging, it's hot pink! My first impression when the box reached our doorsteps last month. Upon opening, I saw 31 jelly sticks that need to be consumed as an everyday dessert but at the back of my mind I was figuring out the taste. If you're a long time collagen supplement user, I assume that most of the collagen brands that you have tried in the market today have a fishy smell and taste.

Product Review: Otsuka Collagen C Jelly 

     

     At first, I was intimidated by the color of the Otsuka Collagen C Jelly stick, I'm a bit hesitant to taste it because my sensitive nose smells something different. It smells fruity but there's a bit of fish smell. Without tasting the product, I can surely say it's collagen. As for the taste, I can say it's like blackcurrant to berry but again, there's an aftertaste like that of the regular collagen that I've tried and reviewed before but it was tolerable!

What I like:

• Otsuka Collagen Jelly C is Japan FDA approved.
• The packaging- it's very handy and travel-friendly.
• It's wrap individually, convenient to bring anytime, anywhere.
• This jelly stick form of collagen can be eaten any time of the day. It's perfect for snacks or dessert because it has a fruity flavor.
• Best paired with glutathione to boost and speed up the whitening process. 
• I didn't experience any discomforts like vomiting, headache, nausea, breakouts or whatsoever.
• Otsuka Collagen C Jelly made my skin glowing even if there were times that I only have 4 hours of sleep.
• Less hair fall and no more brittle nails.
• It made my skin supple and hydrated. There are times that I don't need to use my favorite lotion.
• My skin looks healthy and shiny- not the 'oil' type of shine, if you may ask.
• Batch, manufacturing and expiry date printed on the package.

What I don't like:

• The price- a bit steep for budget-conscious individuals.
• Not easily accessible.

Will I purchase? Yes, it's in the realm of possibility. I've already considered taking collagen supplement as part of my anti-aging regimen.

Recommendation:

     I give this a 4.75/5 rating. I guess it's because of the collagen content per stick. I made a computation based on what's written on the box (77,500 mg / 31 sticks) so I presume that each stick contains roughly around 2,500 mg of collagen and the required is around 3,000-5,000 mg a day especially if you're older let's say around 40 years old above. But I will still highly recommend this if you're around 25 years old and new to collagen supplements.

     As for the fine lines, pre-mature wrinkles, wrinkles, laugh lines, and crow's feet, I'm lucky that I have a few of them that's unnoticeable as of the moment. While taking the supplement, I did not see a drastic change in their size, appearance etc but my skin felt a tight feeling so meaningless sagging of the skin. Again, it is best to see maximum results with continued use :)

Product Review: Organique Acai Juice

     Hi dearies! Do you consider taking natural/organic supplements as part of your everyday vitamins and nutrients essentials? I’m sure you’re aware that this food supplement comes in many forms. I’ve tried different kinds of food supplements in the past that’s why I know there’s no harm in trying. This so-called food supplements are not medicines that after taking for a month will heal your high blood pressure, diabetes, and the like. These food supplements have the “no approved therapeutic claim” on their labels because simply it’s a food supplement that will nourish the body and in my opinion, prevents the body from further decay. Meaning once you drink them, they will boost your body, give you energy, cleanse your system, flush all the toxins, and eventually will help you prevent those nasty chronic illnesses and the big C.

     Before I received a bottle of this purple drink, I already have an idea what this food supplement can do to our body. I’ve seen this last year on grocery shelves and drugstores where I buy maintenance medicine for my father. We wanted to try this before but he’s drinking a food supplement from another brand until we forgot that Organique Acai Juice was on my father’s food supplements wish list to try. I’m one happy kid because our friends from Organique Acai sent me a bottle of the juice supplement that contains powerful anti-oxidant. By the way, Acai Berry is pronounced as ah-sah-ee. More information about the product and my experience after taking it for a month below.

What I like:

• The taste- doesn't have a weird or funky taste. It's like I'm drinking grapes that are concentrated. It's a bit sour but tolerable.
• The packaging is simple, it's in a sturdy bottle and the label is complete with product information.
• The scent is like that of red wine but tolerable. I have a sensitive nose and drinking food supplements with weird smell makes me nauseous. I never experienced that while drinking this.
• No weird feeling or an upset stomach after drinking one shot of this purple juice first thing in the morning. I drink one or two shots of this upon waking up.
• I feel a bit full after taking this before breakfast.
• No breakouts, irritations or whatsoever in my skin. I also noticed that during the time I'm drinking this juice, no new zits or pimples popping out my forehead and chin.
• I noticed that my skin is less oily. 
• I love eating spicy and oily foods. I noticed that there are traces of oil in my stool which is a good indication that bad fats are being expelled from my body.
• I'm usually constipated and this juice helped me ease the difficulty in emptying the bowel.
• I usually crave for sweets in between meals but during the period that I'm drinking this juice, less sweet cravings for a month.
• I feel less lethargic on days that I have mood swings. I can say that I have extra energy during the time I'm drinking this juice.
• I noticed less hair fall. I've been battling with hair fall these past few months after my father's hospitalization. I can say that my hair fall is stress related. Last month, I noticed that I have less hair fall compared to the month that I'm not drinking this. I still use the same hair care products before and while I was drinking the juice.

What I don't like:

• The price- can be a bit expensive for budget-conscious individuals.
• Not easily accessible for those who live in the provinces.

Will I repurchase? Yes!

Recommendation:

     I give this a 4.5/5 rating. There are 39 reasons to drink this Organique Acai juice and I think in the long run I will definitely see those results. If I'm diabetic, have cholesterol, suffering from Asthma, and if I have other diseases, the results will be verified by a monthly laboratory. I highly recommend this product if you're looking for a food supplement and would like to cleanse your body from toxins.

My Beautiful Moments with Papalitz

     "Nothing is permanent in this world but change".  I grew up with a bountiful life. I have parents who unconditionally give me what I wanted. New pair of shoes, bags, mobile phones, and large amounts of money but these material things are just temporal things that look beautiful 'outside'. I have few beautiful moments with my parents that I can say 'truly beautiful'. Moments that will leave special memories in my heart. 

My Beautiful Moments with Papalitz
My mom Opel and dad Lito. We fondly call him Papalitz

     
     Years have passed and my parents are aging. I’m so busy with my life and I forgot time is running out. That’s why I need to make beautiful moments now. These are little things in life like family bonding, running hospital errands for my dialysis patient father, and saying thank you to them every day. I think I’ve been making beautiful moments with my dad lately. I know it’s never too late to make beautiful moments with him. He’s getting weak because of kidney failure. There will be a time that we need to face the reality of other complications. He’s aging and it’s inevitable. But those beautiful moments will make him strong and will give him peace of mind. I don’t know until when the dialysis treatment can sustain his life but all I know now is I have been making beautiful moments with him from simple birthday celebrations that we always celebrate with my family, relatives, and friends. 

My Beautiful Moments with Papalitz
My father 3 years ago. He is 51 years old and looks like his true age. 

     
     Accompanying him during his dialysis treatment and spoon-feeding him even if he can eat on his own. Assisting him when he is walking in the streets. Holding his hands and guiding him every time his eye sight becomes blurry. These are the beautiful moments that I have with my father now. No expensive gifts and material things, just pure, plain simple happiness. These are the things that matters most now because time is of the essence so I need to spend it with him.

My Beautiful Moments with Papalitz
My father at 54. 3 years of battle with Chronic Kidney Disease. Look how this illness took away his physique, physical appearance, and all. This photo was taken last week during his dialysis treatment.

     
     I’m also taking into consideration on how to share with my father the things that will delay aging. My father is only 54 years old and by looking at his photos, he looks like a senior citizen. This is a reality that when one has a chronic disease and is in pain, his/her physical appearance will degenerate. As a beauty blogger, I know that collagen and hyaluronic acid supplements will help, lessen, and slow down the aging of the skin. I’ve read somewhere that there are supplements that can increase longevity. We’re not after smooth and beautiful skin but that will be a bonus. If taking other supplements that will give my father longer life, I’ll give it a shot. 

     Collagen drinks are said to be the secret for longevity and beauty of Japanese people, who are known for their smooth skin and youthful appearance. Collagen drinks are, in fact, very popular in China and South Korea.

      Premium HyC 150, developed by FINE Japan Co. Ltd., is now available in the Philippines. Premium HyC 150 is unique because it is the only supplement drink that has the optimal combination of active anti-aging ingredients such as:

• hyaluronic acid
• collagen
• ubiquinol

   
     Premium HyC 150 has other benefits that go beyond skin care and a rejuvenated, more youthful look. To maximize the benefits of collagen, one important element, hyaluronic acid, has to be present. At least 50 percent of hyaluronic acid in our body can be found in our skin. Premium HyC 150 contains 150 mg of hyaluronic acid, the optimal dosage to replenish the body of this essential nutrient. Hyaluronic acid acts as space filler by binding to water and keeps the skin wrinkle-free. It lubricates joints, ligaments and connective tissues. It also hydrates surrounding tissue and keeps the collagen nourished and healthy.

     This drink is perfect for my parents and for me too! There are simple things that I've learned about my family and the beautiful moments I have with them. The material things that I have in life right now are not important, what matters most is that we are complete and my parents are still here with me. I'm happy that my life has changed from a spoiled brat to a more mature and responsible daughter for my father and my family.

     Premium HyC 150, exclusively distributed in the Philippines by BrightRAY Enterprises, is now available at Watsons stores.
