Two Islands Collagen Beauty Powder - Vanilla supports your skin, hair and nails, contains 10g of Type 1 hydrolysed marine collagen per serve, is naturally flavoured with luscious, creamy vanilla and can be blended solo with water, or combined with just about any other flavour you can dream up. Added vitamin C aids absorption and supports your body's natural collagen production while a hint of monk fruit provides natural sweetener.
Sourced from Norway and harvested from the pristine waters of the North Atlantic Ocean, our marine collagen is Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) approved meaning it is from a verified sustainable fishing source. It is also a by-product of the fishing industry that would otherwise go to waste.
Collagen makes up about 75-80% of our skin's structure, providing a sort of scaffolding. As we age, our body’s ability to naturally produce collagen declines. From around our mid-twenties, production drops by around 1% per year, with a 30-50% total loss in women by post-menopause.
Other factors like smoking, stress, over exposure to sunlight and a poor diet can also cause a decrease in the amount of collagen our body produces. Consequently, a decrease in collagen leads to wrinkles, dry and sagging skin, thin hair, brittle nails, and can result in joint problems due to weakened cartilage.
Taking a high quality collagen supplement is an easy way to provide your body with collagen peptides that can be used to improve skin texture and appearance. Many clinical studies have shown that supplementing with collagen can significantly improve the appearance of skin by improving skin hydration, elasticity, density and decreasing fine lines and wrinkle formation.
