Blue Moonbeam Collagen
What is Collagen and why is it so important?
Collagen peptides, also known as Pep-tan or hydrolysed collagen, is a hydrolysed form of collagen. Pep-tan is produced by a carefully controlled enzymatic hydrolysis, producing much smaller and easily digestible collagen peptides. Pep-tan is derived from 100% natural sources and is free from any side-effects.
Collagen literally holds us together—it makes up 30% of the body's protein and 70% of the skin's protein…
Consuming hydrolysed collagen allows your body to maximize the benefits that collagen has to offer.
Your body contains Collagen:
- 90% of the sclera (white part of the eye)
- 80% of tendons
- 70 – 80% of the skin
- 60% of cartilage
- 30% of bones
- 1 – 10% of muscle mass
The challenge is as follows: As you get older, your collagen production decreases. In other words, everything mentioned above, becomes weaker… You might start struggling with your eyesight; your joints, muscles and bones become weaker; your skin will start to get wrinkles… The list just goes on and on!
Reasons for decreasing Collagen:
- UV Radiation
- Smoking
- Pollution
- Caffeine
- Sugar
- Ageing
-
Stress and lack of sleep
-
Inflammation-triggering diets
-
Vitamin C deficiencies
Benefits of taking Collagen:
Improve Skin Elasticity
You are probably familiar with the claims about collagen’s magical anti-aging properties for your skin health. But what does the research say?
In one recent study, scientists wanted to see how collagen would affect collagen peptides found in the skin. The study observed 69 women between the ages of 35 and 55 for eight weeks. Women who took a collagen supplement showed noticeable differences in skin elasticity compared to women who took a placebo.
What’s even more interesting is the older women in the collagen group actually experienced more noticeable improvements, possibly because collagen production decreases with age, leaving greater room for improvement. Another study found that oral supplementation with collagen improved skin hydration levels in just eight weeks [*].
Here’s an important finding to note: Researchers discovered the changes in the participants’ skin only when hydrolysed collagen was consumed. Why? When this form of collagen is ingested, it’s immediately absorbed by your gut and is sent straight to your joints and skin through the highway that is your bloodstream.
Say Goodbye to Brittle, Broken nails
In one study, 25 participants were given one 2.5-gram dose of collagen peptide each day for 24 weeks. Here’s what they found:
• 12% increase in nail growth
• 42% drop in broken nails
• 64% overall improvement in formerly brittle nails
Plus, 88% of the participants also reported these positive changes were visible in as little as four weeks!
Prevent and Help Treat Heart Disease
Collagen may help lower your cholesterol and prevent heart disease. During one study, participants were given collagen twice a day for six months – the studies showed that the collagen helped to prevent a build-up of plaque in the arteries.
Heal Leaky Gut Syndrome
Irritable bowel syndrome (or IBS) and leaky gut syndrome are two painful conditions where the digestive tract and stomach lining become inflamed and irritated. IBS can be triggered by stress, poor diet, prescription medications, too much alcohol and a sedentary lifestyle.
This negatively impacts your digestive health, causing uncomfortable side effects like bloating, fatigue, upset stomach, diarrhoea, constipation, and malnutrition. Rather than being absorbed, vitamins and minerals pass right through your system.
The Bio-availability of collagen (easily absorbed by the body) means your body can quickly absorb and use the protein and other vitamins, minerals, and important amino acids (the building blocks of protein) that come with the Collagen.
Ease Joint and Knee Pain
In one study, scientists experimented to see how a collagen supplement would affect knee pain (specifically, osteoarthritis pain). After 180 days, participants experienced lower scores on the osteoarthritis index and less pain, stiffness, and physical limitations, improving the body’s ability to heal.
The ingredients in BMB Collagen:
BMB Collagen is patented because we put a decent, effective product on the market. Most studies show that a collagen powder is absorbed better than any capsule or cream. That’s why BMB Collagen is in powder form. It is a delicious, tasty drink mixed in cold water. The reason for cold water is so that it does not damage the amino acid bond when mixed.
BMB Collagen contains 9grams of hydrolysed collagen, and 2grams of a combination of the following ingredients:
L'Carnosine
One study showed that L carnosine was the only antioxidant to significantly protect cellular chromosomes from oxidative damage. Antioxidants cannot completely protect proteins. Nature’s second line of defence is to repair or remove damaged proteins. This is where L carnosine demonstrates its most profound anti-ageing effect.
L Carnosine extends the cellular life span.
Our bodies are comprised of cells that replace themselves by dividing. There is a genetic limit as to how many times our cells will continue to replicate themselves via healthy division processes. Once enough cells reach their genetic reproductive limit, the organism (our body) is no longer able to sustain life functions and succumbs to disease or death. When scientists transferred late-passage fibroblasts (a type of skin cell) to a culture medium containing L carnosine, they exhibited a rejuvenated appearance and often an enhanced capacity to divide. The L carnosine medium increased life span, even for old cells. Cells transferred to the L carnosine medium attained a life span of 413 days, compared to 126 to 139 days for the control cells.
This study showed that L carnosine induced a remarkable 67% increase in cellular life span. These aged cells also grew in the characteristic patterns of young cells and resumed a uniform appearance in the presence of L carnosine. Some researchers propose that L carnosine may rejuvenate cells by reducing the formation of abnormal proteins, or by stimulating the removal of old proteins.
Co-Enzyme Q10
Co enzyme Q10 is an antioxidant, which is a type of enzyme that protects the cells in your body from damage. This damage includes the skin’s inability to produce collagen, which in turn results in sagging and wrinkles.
Here are the skincare benefits of Co enzyme Q10…
- It energizes your skin. Young skin has ample amounts of CoQ10 and so has lots of energy – the energy needed to repair damage and make sure the skin cells are healthy.
- It protects against photo-ageing (premature ageing due to overexposing the skin to the sun). The sun is the fastest skin ager.
-
It rejuvenates skin by stimulating skin cell activity. Active skin cells get rid of toxins easily and can make better use of nutrients. When your skin ages, all these processes slow down, causing dull, sallow and wrinkled skin. Boost your skin cell activity for younger looking skin with CoQ10.
-
It stimulates collagen production. Collagen is the protein that decreases as we age, leading to wrinkles and leathery skin. Helping you make more collagen, CoQ10 is a skin-saving essential.
-
It is a potent anti-oxidant that acts against oxidative damage. This damage is done by, for example: UV rays of the sun, pollution, toxins, stress. And this damage all leads to one thing: premature ageing that shows up on the skin. Anti-oxidants like CoQ10 are the answer and have a critical role to play in both the body and the skin.
Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C)
It is a potent antioxidant and skin-soothing agent that can improve the appearance of signs of ageing. Ascorbic acid is also a powerhouse when mixed with other antioxidants such as co enzyme Q10 - this leads to great benefits in evening out skin tone.
Without Vitamin C, collagen cannot be absorbed. One of the causes of a decrease in collagen production in your body is indeed a Vitamin C deficiency.
Zinc
Aids in healing the skin and prevents acne by regulating the activity of the oil glands. Zinc promotes a healthy immune system and the healing of tissue. It is also an antioxidant which helps to fight and prevent the formation of free radicals.

I ordered my second box and I love the product. My skin is so much more hydrated. I had a back operation a couple of years ago and would some mornings wake up with a discomfort in my lower back. This has all gone. I was skeptical at first with all new products. But after using this product I will definitely recommend it to anyone.
