Natural Collagen Boosters for

smoother skin, glossier hair and stronger nails

Collagen is a protein that exists in connective tissue, skin, tendons, bone, and cartilage. It provides structural support to tissues while also participating in critical bodily functions, such as tissue repair and cell signalling. Our bodies manufacture collagen, but after the age of 20, we produce around 1% less collagen per year.1

Even though age-related collagen loss is unavoidable, leading a healthy lifestyle can help protect against collagen loss, delay signs of aging, and improve overall health. Collagen appears to be very advantageous for certain uses and populations, such as boosting bone mineral density in postmenopausal women.

Collagen supplements are commonly derived from animal products such as bone broth and cow hides. As many health watchers and professionals prefer supplements produced from cleaner sources, finding a vegan collagen supplement is a big challenge. Fortunately, your body can produce its own collagen naturally with proper nutrients. Supplementation that includes antioxidants, essential fattly acids, and high quality vegan protein can boost your body’s ability to manufacture more collagen and slow down the loss of collagen from oxidative damage and aging.

I’ve been an AIM member since 2010 and have utilised many of their items with great success in terms of my health and energy. My two go-to supplements have been AIMega (6 capsules per day) and BarleyLife (2 tsp per day). I’ve added BioVivify (one in the morning and one at night) for the past four months and have noticed smoother skin and stronger nails. My wife, Debbie, has noticed my results and commented on how silky my skin is. As you can see from the photo, it has not boosted my hair growth, at least not yet! As with any new supplement, you may not see any immediate benefits, but you will notice a difference after a few months.

BioVivify by AIM is a vegan nutritional supplement. BioVivify, while not collagen, has a similar set of advantages. It contains comprehensive nutrients that enhance skin, hair, and nail health. Astaxanthin supports collagen synthesis, thereby helping to promote skin elasticity and smoothness. Biotin boosts keratin production to support hair growth.

Glycine, L-proline and L-lysine are amino acids that play key roles in the synthesis of collagen. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that when taken with astaxanthin can increase collagen production and protect it from oxidative damage.

Some of BioVivify’s Features and Advantages

• Protects collagen against oxidative damage and promotes collagen synthesis

• Enhances skin suppleness

• Improves skin elasticity and promotes skin hydration

• Reduces wrinkles

• Increases keratin production, thereby reducing hair breakage, split ends and hair loss

• Enhances uneven cuticles

I am 73 and very happy with the results that BioVivify has given me. After reading the testimonials from many AIM Members, I started taking two capsules of BioVivify together with two capsules of AIMega every day since December last year. After six months, I noticed that my nails are much stronger and no longer brittle. My hair loss has greatly reduced and my skin looks smoother. I also take other AIM products such as BarleyLife and GlucoChrom for overall wellness. Thanks, AIM, for giving us wonderful nutrition that works.
