by Joyce Cheo  /   September 25, 2019

As a result of the large molecular size of collagen, they are broken down by the digestive system into amino acids before getting absorbed into the bloodstream (like the rest of the food we ingest). And since collagen is found in many parts of the body, including our joints, tissue linings and eyes, these amino acids might get distributed all over, depending on which part of the body requires them more.

Thus, it is impossible to determine how much of the amino acids actually get distributed to one’s skin to improve its firmness. As a result, today’s collagen supplements are infused with other ingredients for a holistic approach towards beauty care.

#2 FANCL Hyaluro Premium, $132 (30 sticks of six tablets)

If you notice that your skin is becoming rougher, duller and more prone to enlarged pores, chances are it might be more prone to dehydration than before. As we age, it is inevitable that our skin’s barrier function gets compromised. This means that its ability to retain moisture drops so it tends to become drier more easily.

To fix this, these tablets take a three-pronged approach: by replenishing skin with hyaluronic acid, improving its ability to produce the moisture-magnet as well as by strengthening its barrier function for better moisture retention. This formula also contains nano hyaluronic acid, which is easily absorbed by the body for optimum results. Over time, skin looks and feels smoother, plumper and less prone to dryness.
