Okay, I’m going to come straight out and say that I’ve always been a bit skeptical of collagen drinking formulas!
So, when FUTURELIFE asked me to trial their new BEAUTI FOOD for a month and report back I couldn’t resist the challenge.
FUTURELIFE BEAUTI FOOD claims to reduce wrinkles in 28 days, improve skin elasticity and boost skin hydration. One shake or bar taken daily is recommended to see results.
FUTURELIFE BEAUTI FOOD is essentially a meal supplement that contains bioactive collagen peptides which are absorbed by the body within 30 minutes of consumption, increasing the total amount of collagen in the body while reversing signs of ageing. Also contained in the formula is Vitamin C, E, Niacin, Biotin and Riboflavin.
Why it’s so important to supplement with collagen
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and assists our body’s connective tissue, skin, hair, and nails to stay as healthy as possible. But we lose collagen from our bodies as we age – this starts around the age of 25 and collagen is lost at a rate of 2% per annum after menopause.
Supplementing with collagen in a balanced diet may help you improve your body’s collagen levels, helping our bodies to regenerate what’s been broken down or lost.
The FUTURELIFE BEAUTI FOOD consists of a range of very yummy, perfectly balanced meal supplements that ensure the very best in clean nutrition. The range’s shakes and bars are low GI for sustained energy so that your blood glucose levels are perfectly controlled and contain no added sugar. And because food choice is so vital in weight management, FUTURELIFE BEAUTI FOOD has specifically included protein, with studies backing up this nutritional go-to. Eating more protein reduces body mass.
I do think it’s important to mention that the collagen used in BEAUTI FOOD is of Bovine (cow) origin, so this meal supplement is not appropriate for vegetarians or Vegans.
Within one week of drinking a sachet per day, I noticed that my joint pain in my knees & wrists was showing HUGE improvement! I called the PR & told her this and she explained that that was no doubt a benefit from the collagen. I was thrilled.
By week two, I could definitely see an improvement in my skin’s hydration levels. Now, I use good skincare and go for regular facials so the skin on my face is in very good condition. However, being 45 years old, the skin on the back of my hands is showing signs of ageing. I look after my hands well and always applying moisturiser after washing them, but the hand creams just didn’t seem to help! After about 14 days of using BEAUTI FOOD, I realized that the skin on the back of my hands was looking and feeling A LOT more hydrated. This was definitely down to the BEAUTI FOOD as I hadn’t changed the products I was using and wasn’t taking any other supplementation. I must also add that around two weeks I noticed that my nails were not breaking as often and seemed stronger.
Today is exactly a month since I started using the BEAUTI FOOD. My joint pain is almost non-existent and that alone has me astounded! My skin’s hydration levels are much better – I can see visual evidence of this now not only on my face, but whole body too. My nails are a LOT stronger and are chipping & peeling less. I don’t really have very deep wrinkles, but I think I can see an improvement – what do you think – see the pic’s below. Both were taken with absolutely no makeup at the same time of the day for continuity.
BEFORE
AFTER
All in all, I’m very impressed with the FUTURELIFE BEAUTI FOOD. I will definitely be purchasing more. I really like the convenience of this meal supplement as I’m often on the go without any time to eat. It takes less than a minute to prepare the delicious BEAUTI FOOD shake, and it really does keep you satisfied.
The BEAUTI FOOD Nutritional Shakes are available in two delicious flavours: French Vanilla & Caramel Latte. There are 7 sachets in a box (a week’s worth) and the cost is R149.99. I like how convenient these sachets are and that you simply have to mix them in the shaker with 180ml’s of water. Simple, quick, delicious and healthy.
I also love the BEAUTI FOOD Protein Bars that are available in French Vanilla & Chocolate Brownie. They retail for R27.99 each and are a quick yet considered nutritional choice that harnesses all the power of collagen. The bars are high protein, low GI and filled with 5 grams of Collagen peptides.
