- Hi, everyone.
I'm here with Alejandra Castellon,
senior manager of Product Development.
- Hi, everyone.
- We are so excited to introduce you
to one of the newest additions
to our nutrition line, Inner Beauty Collagen.
You are going to love this product.
Now, Alejandra, you played such a key role
in the formulation of this product.
Tell us a little bit more about why it was created.
- First of all, we needed a beauty supplement
and the idea was to offer an unsweetened
and unflavored collagen powder
with scientifically valid ingredients
that could be used to boost any beverage of preference,
like shakes, coffee, tea, NingXia Red,
or other Young Living powder supplements
that already have flavor.
- I love that.
And I love that we're focusing on beauty from within
because I feel like nutrition is often overlooked
when it comes to caring for our skin,
our hair, and our nails.
Now, one thing I've noticed is that on the market
there's lots of collagen products.
So what makes ours different?
- Inner Beauty Collagen is formulated
with marine collagen peptides, hyaluronic acid,
ceramides, prebiotic fiber, vitamins,
minerals, and antioxidants.
And that will improve smoothness and elasticity of the skin
as well as reducing the appearance
of fine lines and deep wrinkles.
We formulated this amazing product
with type 1 collagen, sourced sustainably from fish.
Type 1 collagen is the major matrix protein of the skin.
It is also found in tendons, bones,
artery walls, intestines,
but you ask why is our different?
Most products on the market are using type 2 collagen,
most from bovine source,
which is the type of collagen found in cartilage.
So while it will be a good option for joint health,
it won't work at all for your skin.
On the other hand, type 1 collagen
has a smaller molecular weight.
Therefore, it yields better bioavailability,
meaning it can be absorbed by the body easier.
Also, it has a unique combination of amino acids
including hydroxyproline and glycine,
distinctive peptides that stimulate cells in the skin.
- That's so helpful to understand.
And the fact that our collagen targets skin, specifically,
I feel like that really sets our product apart.
You also mentioned ceramides and hyaluronic acid
which I've seen in quite a few products on the market.
So tell us more about these ingredients.
- Our natural ceramide ingredient
is derived from Japanese peaches,
commonly called white peaches.
Through oral administration,
peach ceramides were found to provide hydration to the skin.
And this happens because they strengthen skin permeability
and allow more moisture to be absorbed by the skin
which helps decreasing skin dryness.
- Wow, I need that.
- Then hyaluronic acid also supports skin hydration.
- I have to say, since I've been using this regularly,
I've noticed that my skin complexion has really improved.
- Yes, and something very important that I want to share.
Every single ingredient in this formula is an active.
It does not contain colors, fillers, flavors, or sweeteners.
We also formulated with vitamin C and zinc
that will support collagen biosynthesis,
and biotin in combination with collagen
will support hair and nail health.
- Wow, it does so much already.
Now, tell us about the prebiotic fiber
present in this product.
- Well, Rita, it has been found
that by taking prebiotic fiber, like tapioca fiber,
you support healthy skin by balancing the gut microbiome.
- Wow, this is a very well-thought-out formula.
Okay, Alejandra, I am sure so many people are wondering
how soon can you see improvements to your skin
after using Inner Beauty Collagen.
- In as little as 20 days.
- Wow.
- But it works differently for every person.
At two months, I will expect you to feel a change.
- Okay, did you hear that?
In as little as 20 days.
And I love that this is unflavored and unsweetened
because you can mix it with any beverage of your choice.
Now, do you have a favorite way to take the collagen?
- Yes, the combination that for me is winning by far,
and I wanna share with all of you,
is Inner Beauty Collagen with Golden Turmeric.
Our turmeric product is full of antioxidants
so they don't only have a synergistic effect,
but also when you mix them,
you make a delicious super beverage.
I also want to mention
that if you have ever tried collagen product,
especially from bovine source,
you will see that they clump and it's very hard to mix.
- I've noticed that and they kind of smell strong.
- Well, our marine collagen ingredient
passes through a process where it is deodorized.
It doesn't have a strong fish flavor,
but also undergoes a process of granulation
that makes this ingredient mix amazingly
in water without clumping.
- That is great to know.
Let's make some right now.
- Yeah, let's do it. - Okay.
- I use six ounces of water.
Then we mix one scoop of collagen,
half teaspoon of Golden Turmeric.
We can also use a shaker bottle as well.
- Okay. - It mix easier.
- To help mix it. - Uh-hmm.
- Awesome. - That's perfect.
- Ooh, look at the color changing.
It's the most beautiful color.
It's like a little lighter because of the collagen.
- Yeah.
- And you like taking this at night time?
- Or anytime? - Really, anytime.
- Anytime. - Anytime you feel.
- Oh, that looks so beautiful.
Let's try it.
- Yes.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
- Oh, delicious.
- Right?
- It's fruity, has some spices.
It's perfect.
Thank you so much for sharing all of your knowledge.
It was so helpful.
- Of course.
