We Found Out The Ingredients for Japanese Collagen and Gelatin!

The desire to have beautiful skin, to strive for whitening skin and to look younger continues its stride around the world. Of course, I am riding that wave of desire too! I’ve been exercising and maintaining my body to resist the ravages of old age, by paying attention to my diet, and even compensate what I’m missing with supplements. I am also paying more attention with collagen supplements, especially the gelatin in the supplements.

I believe we are all concerned about this, because it’s not always obvious on the ingredient list shown on the packaging. Often we know exactly where the collagen is derived from, but it is not explained for those that uses gelatin to make the capsules.

It’s time to discovery the collagen and gelatin ingredients!

Precisely for that reason, we have picked the most popular collagen supplements on the Wonect store and approached the manufacturers directly to ask! Our questions included:

1. If the collagen supplement uses fish collagen, what type of fish is used? In particular, is there any ingredient coming from shark?
2. If the supplement contains gelatin, what ingredient is the gelatin made of?

It took a little while to gather the information, but we have finally gathered all the information here! The information is presented in the form of Name of Product / Pig or Fish Category / Shark ingredient present? / Collagen or Gelatin (if any) ingredient .

So what we can see from the above collagen ingredients?

Collagen and gelatin are usually made from the same ingredient, and also that there are no shark ingredients in the above collagens. This is happy news for our muslim friends! However, although the manufacturers have been very helpful giving us the info, they also did remind us that their products have not undergone any halal certification. Be sure to choose products according!

Collagen worked for me!

Do you remember I wrote about taking collagens? It’s already been more than six months ago… Something happy happened to me: my front hair has started to grow. As women grow older, our hair starts to decrease and scalp starts to bald. Me included ( ﾉД`)ｼｸｼｸ…

And yet new hair have started to grow recently! I’m so happy about it!! Looking at my lifestyle, looks like the only thing I have been missing of is collagen, so it’s thanks to collagen that my hair has started to grow.
