Collagen is a protein made up of amino acids that is found in the human body. 70% of our skin is composed of collagen. Collagen is a substance that is naturally produced by the body. However,
the production of this substance diminishes as people grow older. The
results of the low production include wrinkles, thinning skin and
brittle hair and nails, among others. There are a number of collagen supplements
available in the market that can restore the amount of collagen in the
body.
HOW THE COLLAGEN WORKS?
It provides a supportive structure for various body tissues such as
muscles, bones and ligaments and prevents them from falling apart. It
works with another compound called Elastin to provide strength and
firmness to the tissues. Collagen also works to keep the skin looking
firm, tight, flexible and youthful looking. Young people naturally
produce more collagen than older people. With age, the collagen in the
body breaks down leading to wrinkles and folds around the mouth. As
such, collagen stimulation leads to a more youthful looking skin. The
substance has been used for a long time in combating signs of aging.

My 3 sets of KB Collagen from Lazada.. |
After so many weeks and months of thinking and re-thinking, I decided to jump into the bandwagon. I did not mean to use this product for too long, but I opted to take this for the purpose of restoring damaged body tissues. I bought this through Lazada since I find it more convenient to just order online and TADA!, the item I purchased will be delivered right in front of my doorstep (or rather in front of my working desk inside the office).
Okay, so here it is. I bought 3 boxes of the KB Collagen because Lazada has a promo of 3 sets for only PhP1, 237.00. For its original price, one bottle of this costs PhP750.00. I will give to you my review after a month of taking this. For now, I will be sharing to you the background of this product.
