BRAND’S® has just released their new beauty drink called the InnerShine® RubyCollagen Essence, which is made of their proprietary beauty formula (RubySignatureTM) – Combination of micro-collagen peptides & Astaxanthin. Now, if you’ve never heard of astaxanthin, you’re not the only one. I just learnt that it is one of Mother Nature’s most powerful anti-oxidant, and is scientifically proven to be 800 times more powerful than CoQ10, 6000 times more than Vitamin C and 500 times more than Vitamin E.
If you’ve been following my blog, you’ll know how I feel about drinking collagen drinks (ineffective!) but if you haven’t, in a nutshell: drinking collagen is simply drinking protein. Your body will break down the collagen into amino acids and then it’ll reform into the proteins that it will need (hair/muscles etc) instead of specifically collagen. If you see results on your skin after drinking collagen drinks, it often means one of the following, if not a combination:
1. You’re not eating enough protein
2. The other ingredients in the drink are the ones boosting your skin’s improvement
Now, onto BRAND’S® InnerShine® RubyCollagen Essence Drink! I got a box of 12 to try out and see what differences there are between this and the various other brands I’ve tried so far.
BRAND’S® InnerShine® RubyCollagen Essence Drink tastes like a mixture of berries with a slight fishy taste which is probably from the micro-collagen. As each bottle was only 50ml, you can quickly slurp this up and I enjoyed it chilled. I liked drinking it in the morning because it’s just nice to kick start the day with something sweet and after 6-8 hours of fasting while you sleep, this will be quickly absorbed into your body.
Another way that I enjoyed it was to add it to my Bircher Muesli and chia pudding as a sweetener and it also added a fruity flavour to it. That’s a real good energy boost which is sustainable for a long period of time!
Energy. That’s the main effects that I got out of the drink over 12 days. I think 12 days is a little short to see miraculous things happening to my skin but I definitely felt the energy which is most likely due to the anti-oxidant Asthaxanthin. The asthaxanthin used in this RubySignature™ formula is made from micro-algae and through their processing, the collagen plus the asthaxanthin is more bio-available and that means quicker absorption and utilisation by the body.
I definitely felt the effects because on Day 2, I drank the BRAND’S® InnerShine® RubyCollagen Essence but I skipped by usual teh (tea) and instead of feeling lethargic thanks to the lack of caffeine, I was alert and rearing to go the whole day! On Day 3, I didn’t take my Vitality supplement on purpose to further test whether it was the drink at work for my energy boost. To make things even more challenging, I had woken up at 6am that day. I’m glad to say that my energy and overall alertness was sustained throughout the whole day without caffeine!
Would I buy this and take it long term? Sure! Why not? It’s a great way to get more anti-oxidants into your system and it has been medically proven that taking anti-oxidants help to prevent illnesses, removes free-radicals and thus prevents cancer and the premature cell degeneration while also improving cell regeneration. That’s really key and that’s probably why within a day, the asthaxathin is the key ingredient with improved energy levels and if taken on a longer term basis, it’ll help with the skin because your skin cells now have the ability to better combat pollution, sun rays etc and regenerate faster.
