Meiji Amino Collagen Premium is an upgraded version of the original Meiji Amino Collagen. Made from low molecular fish collagen, arginine (an amino acid great for skin) glucosamine, and vitamin C, it also has Coenzyme Q10 and Hyaluronic Acid as extra anti-aging agents to be absorbed by the skin.

What is Hyaluronic Acid?
Hyaluronic acid is quite the rage in Japanese beauty products and has been nicknamed “the key to the fountain of youth”. Hyaluronic acid fills the spaces between cells, and keeps them hydrated them by absorbing moisture and serves as a protective buffer, or a “cushion” between cells.

You need to keep this acid at optimal levels so your skin will have enough moisture. If you have low levels of this in this, your skin will become dry and age quickly. While hyaluronic acid can be found in root vegetables, it’s also a natural substance produced by the body and it decreases due to factors like increasing age, cigarette smoke, or if you suffer a zinc or magnesium deficiency. So if you injest more of it, you can slow down the aging process. You can say that Premium is more power-packed with anti-aging supplements.

What is Coenzyme Q10?
CoQ10 is an antioxidant that fights harmful free radicals, which cause aging skin. Ideally the body should be able to produce enough of its own CoQ10, but stress, aging, and medications could reduce the body’s CoQ10 levels. Taking CoQ10 supplements can help the body replenish this vital chemical.

Why is Meiji Amino Collagen such a great product?

Gives great skin. Although this collagen product does not remove wrinkles, it does make your skin more supple and youthful-looking after a few months of consistent consumption.

Low-fat. Since this product is low in calories, it should not interfere if you are on a diet.

Safe. If taken according to instructions, 5,000mg or one Meiji spoonful (provided in the tin) daily, Meiji Amino Collagen is a safe supplement. Before you try any new health product, do consult your doctor if you have any concerns, particularly if you have kidney problems.

Almost tasteless. Meiji Amino Collagen is almost without any flavour so it can be taken with sweet or savoury liquids, for example, yoghurt, juice, soup, or even pasta sauce. But my preferred choice is grapefruit or cranberry juice as they taste good. Meiji Amino Collagen does not change even if you heat it up so you can consume it in hot drinks.
