Vitamins and Collagen
Friday July 06, 2012
I mentioned I switched my Hair, Skin, & Nails vitamin on twitter recently. I’m noticing a bit of difference compared to my previous brand I used to take. I switched to chews because it was easier to take and remember to take. My hair is growing rapidly. I’m having to get it trimmed monthly and my nails need completely filed down weekly now. It’s madness but it’s also fantastic.

I’m still taking collagen though the above vitamin includes some collagen too. So did my previous vitamin. I’m finishing up a bottle of my usual collagen supplement “NeoCell Super Collagen + C Type 1 & 3” first. Then I’ll switch to one of these. Probably the complexion boosting one from Rohto that boasts the idea of a beautiful face without makeup.
すっぴん凛 – suppin rin – A daily supplement for fatigued complexions. Produced by Rohto.
DHC collagen – a popular brand of basic collagen supplements. I prefer these smaller pills in lower doses compared to the US brand pills. This was the first collagen pill brand I ever tried when I started taking collagen back in 2011.
Amino Collagen Beaute’ – Meiji brand collagen supplement. Includes royal jelly, vitamin C, vitamin E, and Q10. Haven’t tried this line yet though I’ve tried some of Meiji collagen drinks before.
ハリツヤすっぽんコラーゲン – haritsuya suppon collagen – A collagen supplement from ORIHIRO that doesn’t use fish or bovine collagen. Ok, I’ll actually say, it’s turtle collagen. Supposedly it’s a higher concentration of amino acids. I’m a bit curious of any aftertaste.
Thankfully collagen has a pretty decent shelf life so it’ll give me time to go through using each of these as directed.

ahhh i wanna try すっぴん凛. i think it’s something i need, my complexion isn’t very good without bb cream on.
but i have a problem that i’m not good at swallowing/fear of swallowing pills. T___T so i don’t know whether i can take those pills.

Turtle collagen? Ha ha! I think I should try taking some collagen, I’m trying to grow my hair but it’s growing at turtle pace -_-

I’ve never taken vitamins from outside sources, I prefer the natural ones, but now I’m having second thoughts! Because I’m getting sick a lot and now I started caring about what I can do to make myself get sick less often.
The collagen sounds nice, I’m always skeptical about those things but I think I should try it :)
-
i’m always scared to try these things out =/
-
omg me too. i’ve seen these things at the asian markets and am always reluctant. i took “vitamins” from asia before and ended up having stomach issues for almost 2 years…

Hi Jenny~! I have always been curious about the collagen stuff, here we don’t have the habit to use them, so it’s really interesting! BTW, is okay to send you a e-mail? I have some questions about traveling to Japan!
-
These actually work?! I was looking at one a few days ago but I was a little skeptical…I must go check out those chews! Thanks you!
-
I saw the pic on your tweet, sadly, they don’t sell this product on my local GNC. :(
Though it’s always interesting the spectrum of japanese collagen products, then I will be able to recognize them when I see it online!
-
Will definitely be checking out the GNC chewables! My hair grows way too slowly @_@ .. Do you think they have helped your skin at all though??
-
I think I want to try those out, too~ -writes in planner to purchase next time- :-) I miss your magazine posts! D: ^_^
-
Do these help with the god awful heat in D.C.? ;w;
-
I wish american products had the kind of packaging japanese products do. I would be so better at remembering to take vitamins if there looked like the things in these pics.
-
omg i want me some of those vitamins dawg! my nails are horrible as usual.
NORMAL COMMENT FROM KAREN WAT

[...] Vitamins and Collagen par Sushi-Cat. Tandis que les Françaises (moi, la première) restent suspicieuse quant à l’intérêt de prendre du collagène en comprimé, les Japonaises n’en doutent pas, à tel point que ces comprimés / pilules / boissons à boire / bonbons à sucer se sont vraiment démocratisés. Je trouve ça très exotique, et me rappelle du goût chimique mais bon d’une boisson au collagène de Shiseido goûtée au Japon . [...]
