Collagen Drinks Comparison: Meiji versus Shiseido
Hey, it’s Fujikawa! Seems like it’s been awhile since we last talked about collagen! We talked about collagen powder the previous time, and today we’re diving into collagen drinks! Well, partly because I realised after purchasing the powder form, it is a little troublesome to consume… I thought that this will not do, and proceeded to a little research on the easy-to-drink collagen drinks!
We are going to talk about Meiji and Shiseido collagen drinks today. Even though Shiseido and Meiji are famous for their collagen powders, it’s about time we gave their liquid counterparts a look too.
Shiseido Collagen Drinks
When we think of Shiseido collagen, we think of how it is specially formulated with lingonberry and indian gooseberry! These help to encourage the growth of collagen within our cells.
There are three types of Shiseido collagen drinks, “The Collagen”, “The Collagen EX” and “The Collagen Enriched”. All of them have low molecular fish collagen which are easily absorbed by the body, and doesn’t carry taste or smell.
Don’t be fooled by the small volume of Shiseido’s collagen drink! It contains Hyaluronic Acid, Ceramide, Ornithine, Royal Jelly and vitamins. It also includes anti-aging ingredients, and ingredients that help us achieve better looking hair and skin. This collagen drink is thus recommended for anyone who needs these ingredients supplementing their needs.
The Collagen
This collagen drink helps to restore the collagen that has been deteriorated from effects like stress. You can expect to get a relaxing effect from drinking this, which means it is a good support for stress-care, and even helps with sleep.
