A few weeks ago, before my birthday, I started taking Koragem Premium, a capsule-type, high quality, premium collagen supplement from Japan. Prior to Koragem, I had been drinking a powder-type (also from Japan) for two years now—but I always found it a bit of a hassle because I’d have to mix it with my water and down it.
I could tolerate the taste but for some people (like my Ninang who wasn’t very fond of the slightly bitter, fishy taste), it can be a little more difficult.Koragem’s capsules make it so much faster and easier to drink. I also think it’s very effective because ever since I started taking it, I noticed an improvement not just in my skin but also my hair. I had less hair fall, and my hair had a more natural shine that someone even asked if I had anything done to it, like hot oil or a Brazilian Blow Dry.
Most people think collagen supplements like Koragem is merely for reducing wrinkles and fine lines, but in reality, it also helps keep bones and hair stronger. Before leaving for the States last Sunday, I made sure to pack enough Koragem to last me while I’m here. I felt its effectiveness once again when I walked around Disneyland for almost 14 hours the other day, and my back didn’t give up on me despite suffering from dextroscoliosis. Usually, when I walk around or stand for too long, my lower back starts to hurt and I’d have to rest and sit down. But I noticed that my back no longer hurts as frequently as before, and I think Koragem has a lot to do with it.
Like I said, when it comes to my skin, I constantly invest in a holistic approach—therefore I religiously following an effective skincare routine, drink Koragem daily with my Vitamin C, get regular treatments like diamond peel or Revlite, and visit my derma occasionally. It sounds like a lot of effort, but I know it’s a worthwhile investment and I hope to look as youthful, and to feel healthier and more positive even when I’m older!
Koragem Premium is available in Mercury Drug for only Php 300 for a box of 10 capsules.
