“Dare to defy aging”
The signs of aging may be written on your face but if you look more
carefully, the problem goes skin deep. Aside from common complaints like
wrinkles, dull complexion and sagging skin, the ravages of time may
manifest in other ways. Your hair and nails might become more brittle.
Wounds would start to heal slower. Joints and muscles would begin to
ache more often. The pain of osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint
disease caused by the breakdown and loss of cartilage, would keep you
from leading a more active lifestyle. The onset of fatigue would come
sooner that suddenly, you’re tired for most of the day. Your energy
drops and your confidence follows suit. Eventually, you will be left to
wonder where your youthful vibrancy went.
These telltale signs of aging may appear when the body decreases
collagen production. Collagen is a fibrous protein that makes up the
support system for several body tissues such as bones, tendons,
cartilage, muscles, skin and various organs like kidneys. It provides
our body tissues form, strength and flexibility. Collagen is crucial in
maintain the external structure of cells. It encourages bone health,
strengthens the blood vessels and cartilage, and preserves skin
elasticity, thus promoting smooth, tight and supple skin.
Collagen is a naturally occurring bodily component that we produce in
abundance when we are young. Hence, youthful skin is wrinkle-free, firm
and elastic. But as we get older, our body’s ability to manufacture
collagen slows down. And like most things, collagen is subject to wear
and tear. It breaks down over time, and as we age, our body’s ability to
replace lost or damaged collagen is reduced and more irregularities and
complications develop. Studies show that from 25 years old onwards,
collagen reduces at a rate of 1.5%, taking into account the effects of
diet, lifestyle and pollution which speed the reduction even further.
Scientists have been trying to unlock the secrets of aging for years.
Among their findings show that replenishing the level of collagen in
the body can help delay the aging process. Proper, safe and effective
supplementation may compensate for collagen loss, thus promoting a more
youthful appearance and renewed vigour.
Vital R5
A product of breakthrough research and state-of-the-art Japanese
technology, Vital R5 leads the pack in the fight against aging. It
contains Amino Acid Fish Collagen, a potent and highly absorbable source
of collagen that replenishes collagen stores which diminish with age.
This “youth elixir” also contains key ingredients that support
collagen production, promote healthier joints and cartilage, improve
circulation, and reveal radiant younger looking skin.
Hyaluronic Acid – A key component of collagen. It
has been called a “space filler” or support scaffolding for living cells
because it helps hold cells in place. It is essential in healing
wounds, hydrating the skin and addressing wrinkles and other
dermatological problems. It also acts as a cushion and lubricant in the
joints and connective tissues. It helps keep the cushion between bones
(cartilage) from wearing away, thus preventing degenerative joint
disease.
Glucosamine – Assists in rebuilding and strengthening cartilage,
slows the progression of osteoarthritis, and eases pain particularly in
weight-bearing joints such as knees, hips, and hands.
Arginine – An amino acid that improves blood flow
and circulation by changing into nitric oxide, a chemical that causes
blood vessels to relax. Early evidence suggests Arginine may help treat
vascular complications like chest pains, clogged arteries, coronary
artery disease, heart failure, erectile dysfunction and vascular
headaches. It is also associated with rapid wound healing and greater
collagen synthesis.
Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) – An antioxidant noted for
its cell protection properties. It is integral in collagen formation.
Without Vitamin C, the collagen produced is defective and weak which may
lead to bleeding gums, skin discoloration and painful joints. Collagen
coupled with Vitamin C is essential for healthy skin, tissues,
cartilage, bones and teeth.

supplement.
High doses of glucosamine may cause stomach upset, heartburn,
indigestion, gas, bloating, and diarrhea, particularly for those with
peptic ulcer. Glucosamine should be taken with food to avoid these
effects. People with shellfish allergies must consult their healthcare
professional before taking glucosamine because it may contain shellfish
product. Glucosamine is not recommended for pregnant and breastfeeding
women and diabetics.
Hyaluronic Acid is proven safe when ingested but may cause rashes in rare instances.
Arginine is well tolerated by most people in studies lasting up to six months. Potential side effects include:
* abdominal pain
* bloating
* diarrhea, and
* gout.
It may also aggravate asthma when inhaled. Arginine may interact with certain antihypertensive, cardiac and erectile dysfunction medication.

Vitamin
C preparation comes in several forms. The most common one is ascorbic
acid which is the cheapest but has the disadvantage of being irritating
to the stomach. This puts a limit to the maximum amount one can take per
day. There are several non-acidic forms, but the most popular in the
country is Sodium Ascorbate – which is found in every capsule of Vital
C.
