Ingredient:
Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrolyzed Marine Collagen Peptide, Amino Acid (L-arginine), Isoflavones, Soy Protein Powder, Grape Seed Extract Powder, Iso Malto Oligosaccharides (IMO), Red Beet Powder and Blackcurrant Powder.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA)
Hyaluronic acid (also called Hyaluronan, or HA) is a natural substance found in all living organisms. High concentrations are found in the soft connective tissue and in the fluid surroungding the eye. It is also present in some cartilage and joint fluids, and in skin tissue.
The role of Hyaluronic Acid:
In skin tissue, HA is a jelly-like substance that fills the space between collagen and elastin fibres.
- Provides a mechanism of transport of essential nutrients from the bloodstream to the living skin cells.
- Recovers water - hydrate the skin by holding in water.
- Acts as a cushioning and lubricating agent against mechanical and chemical damage.
Uniqueness of Hyaluronic Acid
1. Our Hyaluronic Acid is produced from the fermentation of friendly bacteria through the bio-technology.
2. Hyaluronic acid retains up to 1,000 times its own weight in moisture.
3. High bioavailability.
Marine Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptide
Hydrolyzed Collagen helps regulate the body's metabolic rate by providing enzymatically digested collagen of a low molecular weight that rapidly absorbed in the digestive tract. It provides important amino acids which are always absent in most diets. Hydrolyzed collagen is consists of water-soluble peptides.
Benefit of Marine Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptide:
a) Anti-ageing & healthy skin
- provides a positive nitrogen balance which is important in the nutritional support of age related degeneration like collagen loss and cartilage damage.
- provides critical nutrients, and helps support skin strength, texture, as well as thicknes.
- reduces fine lines & wrinkles.
- contains amino acids needed for bone and joint health.
- helps in the recovery of repetitive joint injury, pain and joint discomfort.
- helps forming strong healthy nails.
- improves hair appearance and hair follicles.
Uniqueness Features:
- Low molecular weight ~ 3000 dalton (improved digestion and absorption)
- Odorless
- Contains less fat (it is difficult to remove fat from collegen extracted from animal source)
- It is in complex form (contains 18 types of amino acids included essential & non essential)
- No halal issue
- Fish collagen ~ free from the contamination of mad cow disease, BSE or bird flu, safe for consumption
- Peptides are the short chain amino acids
- Peptides are the way cells in the body communicate with each other
- Peptides are small and easily digested and absorbed into the skin
- Just like a key to jumpstart the engine of a car, peptides are the key to turn on the collagen production
Others Ingredients:
Amino Acid (L-arginine)
- L-Arginine is an amino acid that has numerous functions in the body.
- It helps the body get rid of ammonia (a waste product), is used to make compounds in the body such as creative, L-glutamate, and L-proline, and can be converted to glucose and glycogen if needed.
- L-arginine is also involved in the protein formation. In larger amounts, L-arginine stimulates the release of human growth hormone and prolactin.
- L-arginine's possible activity in wound repair may be due to its role in the formation of L-proline, an importatn amino acid that is essential for the synthesis of collagen.
- Stimulation of the release of the most important anti-aging hormone in the body, growth hormone.
Isoflavones
- Isoflavones are a class of phytochemicals, which are the compounds found only in plants.
- The consumption of soy products has many health benefits, including protection against breast cancer, prostate cancer, menopausal symptoms, heart disease and osteoporosis.
- Ease menopause symptoms - The benefits of soy go beyond reducing long-term cancer risk. Recent studies have found that soy isoflavones can reduce menopause symptoms such as hot flushes and increase bone density in women.
- Isoflavones improve bone health - Soy Isoflavones help in the preservation of the bone substance and fight osteoporosis. This is the reason why people in China and Japan very rarely have osteoporosis, despite their low consumption of dairy products, whereas in Europe and North America the contrary happens. Unlike estrogen, which helps prevent the distruction of bone, evidence suggests that isoflavones may also assist in creating new bone.
Soy Protein Powder
- The importance of Protein for beautiful skin and hair.
- The building blocks of protein are amino acids. When protein is eaten, your digestive processes break it down into amino acids, which pass into the blood and are carried throughout the body. Your cells can then select the amino acids they need for the construction of new body tissue, antibodies, hormones, enzymes, and blood cells.
- There are 22 different amino acids, each of which has its own charateristics.
- The complete proteins that contain the eight essential amino acids come from meat, poultry, fish, eggs, milk - all dairy, cheese and soy.
- Proteins are necessary for tissue repair and for the construction of new tissue. Every cell needs protein to maintain its life. Protein is also the primary substance used to "replace" worn-out or dead cells: -
- Most white blood cells are replaced every ten days.
- The cells in the lining of the gastrointestinal tract and blood platelets are replaced every four days.
- Skin cells are replaced every 24 days.
- More than 98 percent of the molecules in the body are completely replaced each year.
Grape Seed Extract Powder
- Grape seed extract is a powerful antioxidant made by extracting substances called oligomeric proanthocyanidins from the seeds and skin of grapes.
- Help to keep collagen, elastin and HA in good shape by blocking enzymes that might disrupt their chemical structure.
- Help to maintain the elasticity of the skin.
- Improve tone of the capillaries and increase blood supply to the skin, which helps to prevent the breakdown of collagen.
Red Beet Powder
- It is a vegetable with rejuvenating properties whose consumption can maintain us younger during more time.
- These properties come into effect by the presence of folic acid.
- It stimulates our brain and eliminates toxins that can accumulate in this organ, being vey much useful to main a good mental health and to prevent premature aging.
Blackcurrant Powder
- Blackcurrants are very rich in many phytonutrients, antioxidants, vitamins, essential fatty acids and minerals.
- Blackcurrants contain anthocyanins, which are compounds naturally found in berries. The are very potent antioxidents and are responsible for the color of blackcurrants. Around 300 different types of anthocyanins have been discovered.
- Rich in vitamin C. Vitamin C protects skin against harm caused by exposure to sunlight and only antioxidant that has been proven to increase collagen synthesis.
Key Benefits of HA+8 Supplementation
- Moisturized skin from the inside out, smoothing out wrinkles in the process. HA+8 acts as an internal cosmetic to hydrate the skin.
- HA+8 is for people who need to ease the flexing of their joints, especially their knees, by restoring cushioning to their joints.
