4.5 Stars -- Definitely making a difference for me
I'm most of the way through my third bottle of Ultra Collagen Booster. I bought my first bottle in the healthcare section of our local organic and gourmet food shop. They have an extensive supplement section and their healthcare rep said the bottles were 'flying off the shelf.' Well, I'm in my early 50s, so time's a'wasting on trying to keep my skin looking its best. Plus if the rep wasn't spinning a lie about *everyone* buying it, I hated to be the last to know about the secret to looking 20 again. So, it's about 11-12 weeks later and unfortunately I still don't look like I did when I was 20. BUT, my skin IS better. I've always taken good care of my skin so things were already pretty decent on that front. What I noticed first, after a few weeks of daily use, is that my skin is firmer and sort of glowy. The most noticeable areas, though, are my neck and the backs of my hands. Because of good care and genes, my facial skin has remained pretty youthful over the years; but I'd made the mistake for many years of not taking the same care of my neck as I did my face. The result was a neck that looked older than my face. There is now a noticeable tightening and firmness there too. Also, because I sculpt and oil paint, my hands are constantly in "something" and that, accompanied by sun exposure and frequent handwashing, had taken its toll. It didn't matter how much hand creme I used, the skin on the backs of my hands had become dry, thin, and starting to look a bit 'crepey.' Not any more. My only complaint about Ultra Collagen Booster is that it's expensive. My first bottle was at regular retail price ($52 - yikes!) which was pretty ridiculous for a one-month supply. Amazon's prices have been better so the last two bottles were purchased from them. However, I'd recommend that you keep a watch on the price on Amazon as it can fluctuate significantly. Sometimes the price is about $10 under retail -- other times it's about $20 under. You can take the capsules with or without food. The recommended daily dosage of three vegetable capsules contains the following: Pro-Longevity Resveratrol Blend(tm) (400mg): Organic French red whole grape (skin, vine, stem, seeds) (Vitis vinifera) full-spectrum polyphenol profile, USDA certified organic muscadine red whole grape (skin, vine, stem, seeds) (Vitis rotundifolia) and natural wild Polygonum cuspidatum stnadardized to contain a minimum of 100 mg of trans-resveratrol. BioCell Collagen: Hydrolyzed Collagen type II (600mg), Chondroitin Sulfate (200mg), and hyaluronic acid (100mg). Dermaval (500mg): VitaGranate BioActive Pomegranate Extract, asparagus concentrate, abelmoschus esculentus concentrate, Vita-Berry Tropical (coffea arabica concentrate, Brazillian acerola cherry, Amazon camu camu, sophora japonica concentrate, acai berry, mangosteen concentrate, maltodextrin, vegetable cellulose, rice bran, and silica.
