OVERALL SUMMARY

Fairy Godmother Blessed!

When your normal efforts to cure facial blemishes and scarring fail to show quick results, who do you call to do the job faster?

After suffering from a bad fall which left my face bruised and wounded I wanted a cure… fast! Let the power of collagen be your social lifesaver with Meiji Amino Collagen Powder! It’s the miracle collagen powder that works like real magic to improve your skin’s health and appearance for a blemish-free face. Sounds too good to be true? Read our review below and you’ll find out why this is no empty dream in a can.

where does collagen come from?

Collagen is a protein naturally produced in animals and collagen beauty supplements extract pure collagen peptides from fish, pig or cow.

The collagen used in Meiji Amino Collagen is derived from fish calcium using fish scales and skin to create their unique powder formula able to be absorbed 50% more efficiently into the body than pig based collagen.

I personally prefer fish-based collagen products as it is an innovative way to use a source which would otherwise end up being considered food waste and for their low odor aspect.  Meiji Amino also has developed a patented technique which masks the smell of their collagen peptide formula enabling you a more pleasant experience when consuming.

collagen powder HEALTH BENEFITS

I’m sure everyone has heard of collagen before, but what do collagen powder products do and what benefits do they have?

Basically, collagen powder is a beauty supplement that gives you a daily dosage of collagen to help achieve a youthful appearance.

Not only that, collagen powder has many health benefits from anti-aging, to promoting healthy hair, to alleviating joint pain.  Some people even claim it helps them with their rosacea!

For me, the two noticeable things I saw for my skin was the collagen’s healing and anti-aging effects:

Before taking collagen, four days after my fall.

While drinking the powder daily I noticed my skin was smoother and had a younger ‘baby-faced’ complexion.

One week after using Meiji Amino Collagen.

Healing and ANTI – AGING Effects

The results were amazing! I have never used collagen products before but look at my face! Within a week of taking the collagen powder, the injuries I sustained from my fall drastically healed the majority of my face wounds faster than any cream or herbal pills I was using previously. I was able to remove the scabbing and though my chin was still bulgy (can’t be avoided), the bruising was very well gone!

Also, because collagen is a key component in skin tissue development it also has anti-aging properties to give you a youthful appearance. I not only noticed that my face was becoming more even-toned but my fine lines disappeared within a few days!

EASE OF USE

The great thing about buying the Meiji Amino Collagen Powder is that the packaging also comes with a measuring spoon which helps take the guesswork out of using it. Just a spoonful into your favourite hot or cold beverage once a day is all that is needed to intake its skin benefits. It’s that easy!

Another question I bet you’re asking is – what does it taste like?

There isn’t a strong taste though I still like to mix it into my morning coffee or tea to enjoy drinking it. There is, however, a scent similar to vanilla wheat or milk flavoured products like Ovaltine or Horlicks. I personally think it also has a sort of “fish” or “seafood” undertone – maybe from the fish collagen peptides. On the other hand, Talyssa didn’t smell this at all. Overall, it’s not overly powerful to wrinkle your nose at.

Value for Money

The price point for collagen powder products isn’t too expensive for a beauty supplement at around 2,980 yen in Japan.

Considering the 200 gram can type Meiji Amino Collagen Powder is a month’s supply worth of collagen powder it gives you an affordable option for skin care because:

  • when stored properly the dry powder gives you a longer shelf life.
  • powder forms give you the freedom to consume it whenever you want.

However, The Meiji Amino Collagen Powder is around AU$50 online which is a bit pricey but is definitely worth it if you want to cure wounds or blemishes fast. 

TL;DR

Meiji Amino Collagen Powder is a must-have if you are looking to improve your skin.

To avoid any unpleasant taste, it’s best to drink with something strong like tea or coffee.
