WELLSPRING Collagen (Strawberry) and Hyaluronic Acid (Peach) Food Supplement Gummies Review


Hi! I haven't been able to retrieve my old domain so I was out for months. But then I started missing my old habits, so yup, here I am! I just wanted to remind you today to always take care of yourself. There are lots of ways to do it and one of which I could think of is taking food supplements!

Today, I would love to share with you some of my newest discoveries to help with anti-aging and to achieve an overall healthy skin. I am turning 26 in a couple of days and I think this is a perfect age to take more anti-aging products and watch out for wrinkles.

With anti-aging, first thing people would probably have in mind are Collagen food supplements. It's really nice that they now come in gummy forms that we you could actually chew and enjoy, at least I don't have to take those that taste and smell fishy. I mean I'm sure I could tolerate them, but these gummies taste way much better. It makes me look forward to taking them everyday and I don't have to worry about being forgetful. It's like satisfying your sweet cravings and being healthy in one!


I've bought these products online at WellSpring official distributor. The Collagen one retails at around PHP599, while the Hyaluronic Acid at PHP649. I've checked multiple shops and the prices actually vary. I am not sure if there are counterfeits out there , so safest it to only buy at trusted retailers. I got mine though at a bundle deal for PHP799 and comes with free shipping. Each bottle has 60 gummies so that's good for 2 months already.

The packaging is very simple - transparent plastic with opaque white twist cap. Items are sealed when I got them and has an aluminum foil to ensure freshness.


WELLSPRING Collagen Strawberry Flavor Food Supplement (60 Gummies)


Aside from 500mg Collagen, it also has 12mcg Vitamin C (boosts immune system) and 7.5 mcg Biotin (good for the hair, skin and nails). I am not sure if you consider that a significant amount, but taking it with other vitamins or other food enriched with such vitamins, could make a difference.



I've read a few people complain about these products not having enough information. True enough, but I also appreciate how it overall looks simple and direct. I think whatever Collagen or Biotin or whatnot is, information about them is just a Google away.


This is how the gummies look like. To me, they look more like raspberries or something, but taste just like normal strawberry-flavored candies. They are sour but flavorful. Although, it has a weird, bitter taste at first which becomes less distinct once you start chewing the product.


WELLSPRING Hyaluronic Acid + Vitamin C & Vitamin E Peach Flavor Food Supplement (60 Gummies)



This product has more Vitamin C at 37.5mg compared to the other variant and has added 6.25 mcg Vitamin E. I think they are a good combination to improve overall skin health and promote elasticity. 

Truth be told, I wasn't aware that you can take Hyaluronic Acid orally so this actually surprised me. Good thing though, I don't think I am using any skincare infused with this ingredient, so adding it might be a good idea.


It has a lot of sweeteners and I'm not so sure if that even has an impact on the body. Please enlighten me about it though. It's something you may want to take into consideration before buying this.


These gummies have a completely different texture compared to the strawberry variant, but really has a delicious peach flavor. It is less chewy and more solid on the mouth (I can't really describe it! Lol!). Nonetheless, both taste good and because they are fun to eat, I definitely prefer them than other forms of food supplements. My first love still would be smoothies though. :D

I've been taking them for no more than a month so it's still early to say a lot about the effects but I would continue taking them as I don't see any side effects like breakouts or pretty much anything weird going on in my body. I think they are super affordable too and are easy to buy.

Do let me know if you have any questions! I'll see you around! :*

The New Belo Collagen Vanilla Smoothie For Skin, Hair and Nails


We have already heard so much about collagen from beauty experts: how it's vital for the overall health of our skin, hair and nails. If you still don't believe in its power, I can't comprehend why. There are lots of resources to find if you wanted to know more about collagen supplements and how it scientifically function, so might as well skip the introduction part. :D But I'm sure we'll all agree that it doesn't take a genius to know what it is and what it's for.


There are a lot of collagen drinks in the market - in probably different levels of potency, as well as difference in methods of consumption. My favorite though: smoothies! Kudos to Belo group for inventing these delicious ready-to-drink smoothies! I've tried their melon variant before and that was my ultimate favorite. However, the vanilla flavor is just almost as delicious!

Belo Collagen Vanilla Smoothie tastes very similar to creamers. I find it funny, but I like creamer in my coffee and tea, so who cares? Now that I've read the mini cardboard box my collagen sachets came with - it says that you can use these as creamer/sugar substitute. That's great knowing that we can have a refreshing, healthier drink option.

CLAIMS


I got my free sachet samples from Sampleroom, but normally, Belo Collagen comes in a cardboard box of 10s and retails at around ₱1,400. It's quite expensive, but good thing though, there's always sales and promotions, so you might want to check them out when they're discounted.


I drink mine for 5 days straight, basically once a day before bedtime. You have the option to take 2 sachets a day, one in the morning and the other at night. No one's gonna judge you because it's really delicious (LOL!). Just empty the sachet and dilute in a 250ml glass of cold water and stir until dissolved.

I always have a hard time mixing my collagen powder into cold water. The trick that works for me best is to stir it in warm water first before adding the cold water. It's making my smoothie a bit lukewarm this way. What I do is put my glass in the chiller for about 10 minutes more, so it would be a lot more refreshing to drink.


I haven't taken a lot to see a significant improvement in my skin, hair or nails, but I am sure to repurchase in the future just because it's a joy to drink (LOL!) and I always look forward to my glass of smoothie everyday. It's versatile in a way that you can mix it on almost any of your drinks for that added creaminess and flavor.

The new Belo Collagen Vanilla Smoothie For Skin, Hair and Nails is infused with 5,000 mg premium collagen from Japan that replenishes lost collagen as you age, so incorporating it in your meal everyday would surely make yourself thank you one day.
