[REVIEW] NutriBear - The Bear Essential Hydrolyzed Collagen

NutriBear's Hydrolyzed Collagen

The secret to youth? Its definite collagen is what you're looking for. If you're wondering why women of age are crazy over collagen, well its actually because collagen helps to maintain your skin elasticity and as it decreases in the body, wrinkles start to form on your facial features. YIKES! Other than facial features, collagen basically is a protein that gives structure to your skin, bones, muscles and other connective tissues in your body. Now that you know what collagen is, how do you sustain the amount of collagen in your body?

Well, this is where I'll share with you my secret to youth called 'The Bear Essential Hydrolyzed Collagen'. Been including this in my diet for about 2 months now, and im guilty for taking a long time to blog about this. Sorry guys! Now, before i explain further, let me share you a summary on NutriBear and how it all started. Born as a passion project by a certified vet who strictly has a busy schedule on a daily basis, knew that increased muscle strength and joint pain relief has an association with collagen, making collagen necessary in her daily diet. And why bears as their logo? She wanted this project to have its own charitable foundation in preserving bears. How sweet!

Some nutritional facts stating that theres no additives, preservatives nor nasties! (YAS!)

Being very much relatable with the situation, I experience joint pains at the age of 27 since I move around a lot, and needed to find a solution which is where NutriBear came along. Being over my mid-twenties, I noticed that my body pace is slowing down in terms of energy and strength, which immediately brought myself to attend to find what I need to help my body maintain with what I used to have, and that's right. After tons of research, it really boils down to collagen. Other benefits of collagen other than keeping your skin bouncy would be that it gives you glowing skin, luscious hair, and stronger nails too!

WHAT IS THE BEAR ESSENTIAL HYDROLYZED COLLAGEN?

Light powder and flaky ttexture

This is what it looks like and going into details, the collagen is extracted from the scales of freshwater fish, making 'The Bear Essential' a pure hydrolyzed fish collagen supplement containing a molecular weight of 3,000 daltons, which also means that it's designed to be for easier absorption. The contents contain glycine, proline, hydroxyproline, alanine, and arginine is higher than average doses so that you can notice a visible difference in your health. YAS! After all, its all about results right?

THE BENEFITS

Did you know that Collagen delays the apperance of wrinkles and fine lines?

Been consuming this for about a month, and my skin is definitely bouncy and no noticable wrinkles

Other than enhancing your features by delaying wrinkles and fine lines, it strengthens joints and muscles so that you can be more active! In my case, since I do ballet, I noticed that my joints can be a little weak from time to time, and trust me, after a month of consuming, it really helped gave me a boost in strength especially when I need to be on points. Moreover, it reduces cellulite and brightens your nail surface to get rid of discoloration. Not only that, but it also nourishes hair follicles for shinier stronger strands. I know all of these are claims that they have, but after being a loyal user, I have no doubts about the results cause I really see the difference.

PREPARATION & TASTE

Comes with a sealed cap to ensure it last long and also to keep it hygenic

1-2 spoons is all you need! (Here mixing with my favourite morning juice, pomegranate)

To be honest, it doesnt affect the taste of my drink after adding it in!

How I usually consume this would be that I'd mix 1 scoop into my morning juice and that's all I need in a day. You may also consume on other times as well, but it would be advisable to consume once a day for optimum results. In terms of taste, I would pretty much say that they did a great job making it taste tasteless. I mean, I don't think this directly with just plain water, but I'd have to say with any juice or smoothie I mix this with, it doesn't taste like anything that might bother your tastebuds. So yay!

FUN FACT!

Did you know that they are other ways to consume this as well? 

An addition to this, did you know it works well with other supplements too? When taking The Bear Essential Hydrolyzed Collagen with Vitamin C, the collagen can support the production of protein within the body, giving more attention to your skin, cartilage, and organs. And if you're taking this with Vitamin D, Calcium, Magnesium and Zinc, it will aid in maintenance and repair your bones over time. Pretty cool right? Just more reasons to consume collagen! Other than mixing this is your cup of juice, you can also include this in your yogurt bowl by sprinkling the powder over, or include this in your baking recipe. After all, good things stay good right? hehe

VERDICT

My overall thoughts?

It retails ar USD 43 which you may think its a little high at the moment, but trust me when I say that its a good health investment in the long run as medical bills are way higher than this. On a personal note, its WAY better than plastic surgery. Hehe. Other than that, by purchasing  The Bear Essential Hydrolyzed Collagen, you will also be contributing to helping NutriBear save endangered bears because, for every purchase, 5% will be donated to the bear welfare organization. A good cause for good skin? hehe. Well, the real question is, will I repurchase? I'd say YES! My skin and hair feels great in the long run and I do hope they come up with more products soon (such as gummies and berry drinks).

Just a shoutout to the founder, I have learned so much about her background and character after getting a deeper look into the brand, NutriBear. She has put a lot of effort into making all this happen, and I must say that im proud to see her go this far as a Malaysia! This is a non-bias post, and I believe that she understands the needs of consumers such as myself to make collagen odorless and easy to consume (Trust me, I was consuming fish jelly collagens and drink collagens which were ocassionally unpleasant to consume at times). By far my favorite collagen form since all you need is one scoop added into your favorite drink. This is a product by an entrepreneur with passion! So highly supported by me, and you should too! - Just because all of us want to be wrinkle-free. hehe
