Here’s the latest update in my quest for everlasting youth.
Did you know that your skin starts aging after 25? T____________T
I am two years past it now. T_______T Oh world, why don’t you just go ahead and end now WTF.
The other day I happened to be at Foruchizu and there was a very fashionable lady browsing the racks. She went to try on some stuff and I helped her zip up the back and started talking to her. She said she wasn’t sure about the items (a long sleeved clingy leopard print dress and a long sleeved lace top) and I told her nonsense because she looked amazing in them! With all due respect, I’ve never seen a middle aged person dress as well (appropriately for their age yet trendily and pulling it off) as her.
Foru + Chizu and our customer!
Guess how old she is.
Sixty nine.
I nearly punched her on her shoulder and said “get out.”
She said her secret is eating right (lots of veggies, fruits, protein and less carbs – yau mou!!!) and health supplements.
So I’m excited to see if DHC Collagen Beauty 7000 will work!!!
Because this is something I will be ingesting, I did research prior to drinking it to see if it really works and if there are any side effects.
After age 25, your body starts producing less collagen (among other things) which is why skin aging starts at this time. T_______T
Some people have expressed disbelief on the interwebs that ingesting collagen will not work and collagen has to be produced by your own body. But studies also show that oral ingestion of collagen will help improve certain aspects of health, especially skin & wrinkles, and joint & limb health.
DHC is a very big brand in Japan and I have Japanese friends who drink this too! So OK I try also. It’s available in all Watsons.
It contains 7,000mg of fish collagen (more than enough for what we need daily) and 12% muscat juice to make it delicious. It also contains Vitamin C which encourages collagen production in the body, so it doubles up a a vitamin C supplement too, as well as pre-hyaluronic acid for the synthesis of hyaluronic acid and a compound called L-Citrulline which enhances blood circulation.
I was a bit worried about the taste but it’s very nice! The inclusion of muscat juice means it has a nice grape flavor. And it’s quite fun to drink out of that small bottle.
I’m supposed to drink one bottle a day and I just started yesterday. Imma drink this for a month and see what changes will happen to my body and face.
Some people who drank this DHC Collagen Beauty 7000 say their skin got better, some say their hair got shinier. D: But apparently effects differ person to person so dunno what I’ll get.
(please let it be thicker hair WTF. Less laugh lines also would be nice! Also wouldn’t mind growing taller hahahahaha ok I kid.)
Took some before pictures of myself!
Ohai.
See stupid laugh lines. 🙁
I’ll update again in two weeks see how it goes!

Studies have also shown that collagen doesn’t do much for the face.. Although it does help with arthritis. Collagen is a protein which is broken down into amino acids and excess amino acids are converted to fats!
heyy. what app did you use to take that pic of the collagen bottle? 😀 😀 it’s a cool effect~
Ooh thanks for the info! Let me try and see how!
