Hey guys! I'm back! Sorry for being MIA for a long while that's because I already decided to shut this site down but ended up doing otherwise. So, YES - PINK PARADOX is back!
I would love to share one of the products that changed my life inside out!
Beauty enthusiasts most likely know the function & significance of collagen in our skin and body but for the sake of the newbies, here are the WONDERS OF COLLAGEN accdg. to Youtheory:
Now what are TYPES 1,2 and 3?
According to www.energeticnutrition.com
Collagen Types 1 & 3 for Hair, Skin, Nails, and Bones
Suggested use to take with juice or Vitamin C supplement in the morning. Take separately from Type 2 Collagen.
Collagen Types 1 & 3 may:
- minimize fine lines and wrinkles*
- improve elasticity*
- support the bone matrix (36% of bone is made up of collagen Type 1 and 3)*
- correct weak or damaged nail beds*
- thicken fine hair, slows hair loss*
- improve circulation*
- promote glycine production which builds leans muscle and helps burn fat during sleep*
Supplementing with collagen may also, “increase skin hydration by 28%, decrease micro-furrows by 26%, and increase skin suppleness by 19%”*
Collagen Type 2 for Joint and Cartilage Support
Suggested use to take at bedtime on an empty stomach. To improve effectiveness, do not take in conjunction with Type 1 & 3.
Collagen Type 2:
- makes up 50-60% of protein in cartilage
- makes up 85-90% of collagen in articular cartilage
- may reduce popping knees*
- may support back, jaw, and joints*
- includes glucosamine, chondroitin, and hyaluronic acid
Finding a high-quality collagen supplement in the type you need and formulated for easy absorption is easy once you know what to look for. Collagen supplements are appropriate and beneficial for adults of all ages. Hydrolyzed collagen supplements are available in the form of tablets, capsules, powder, or even tasty chewables!
AWESOME RIGHT?
You may ask, maybe that's only on paper! But personally, works like a charm for me!
HERE ARE THE PROS:
* So, far is the cheapest with maximized benefits pertaining to amount of collagen available and months of use. Others will cost you 2x the price will little mg of collagen and will last you only half a month.
* Can be found in LAZADA & they sell it so much cheaper esp. for the 390 tablets. This size costs me around 1,600 - 1,700 php and lasts me 2 months - that's like spending only 750 per month in 2 months for maintenance.
* THE BEST THING ABOUT THIS, IT MADE ME LOOK YOUNGER AND LESS HAGGARD. I thought my topical skincare maintenance (CHECK OUT MY SKINCARE ROUTINE BLOG HERE) and Revlite was good enough but when I started using this, I was glowing everyday! It made a HUGE difference on how I look and I no longer wear makeup daily (only during events & special occasions).
* I RECOVER FASTER post workout! I don't feel any joint pains except muscles and I am stronger in doing grueling routines. I finally noticed & believed it more when I stopped using it for months only to end up in getting weaker & in pain after gym.
* My boyfriend noticed lesser to no pain during workout on his wrist which he had a problem in. There's also a variant for males btw (but this one is also okay for them). LAZADA has it as well.
* GREAT for those with Arthritis too!
* I had lesser hair fall!
* With 60 mg of Vit. C - it works better with it since it stimulates production of collagen and is an antioxidant.
* DAIRY-FREE, SOY-FREE, NO GLUTEN in the ingredients! :)
HERE ARE THE CONS (but something you can work out for your benefit):
* Haven't seen any changes with my nails though as it claimed.
* Hard to find in the market. So far, Watsons caters Youtheory EXCEPT IT'S NOT DISPLAYED. You have to ask the saleslady personally to get it in their stock room or to ask for its availability. The reason behind is because of thieves, accdg. to them.
* The mg's are divided into 6 tablets = 1000mg per tablet. Hard to swallow in one sitting. I had to seperate the dosage (3) in the AM & (3) PM. However, once I got used to it I can drink it all one-by-one in one go!
* You might not be getting the right amount of Vit. C by solely relying on this. I buy a separate product for it to work better and so I could also get the right amount I need as an adult. I use BEWELL-C which is safe and non-reactive for people with hyperacidity/gastritis.
* No hyaluronic acid unlike some other powder forms or brand. I had to buy a separate bottle at Healthy Options. It's a veggie capsule type, 100 mg & 60 capsules for only 1,100 php. Take once a day along with the Collagen - the bottle can last for 2 months as well. Overall, if both products divided by two you are spending 1,200 per month in 2 months which is still SO MUCH CHEAPER THAN OTHER BRANDS.
* According to my research powder forms are best absorbed by the body BUT super expensive like BELO Collagen. It is also super effective though and the glow is like WOW in the morning. Makes you sleepy at night too preparing you for bed. *Will review this soon!*

Been taking Youtheory for more than a year now and here's a before and after:
BEFORE:
AFTER:
With no makeup and no filter.
With just powder on and lippie:
P.S. Forgive my blemishes on my chin. I experimented with so many products recently, broke out and I'm still recovering.
* I AM USING LANELLE products which I find works best for me and I RARELY get pimples anymore even if it's the time of the month. I experimented on SO MANY soaps only to breakout more and create more scars & blemishes. Eventually, I got back to Lanelle Kojic Soap and still highly effective.

WHERE TO BUY THE CHEAPEST ONE?
I always buy in LAZADA because they have the cheapest and best deal. You can get the 390 tablets that will last you 2 months or more depending on how you use it for maintenance. As other stores sell it for a whopping 2k plus, you can get it at 1,690 more or less here:
