Life has its way of presenting you little pleasantries and its surprises, like star dusts leaving their trails across the clear midnight lonely sky, utterly unannounced and create that sparkles within you that would make you smile in silent happiness. That was what happened to us in February. One of them was the request to connect with a new brand which dares to bare it all - that would include their product planning (current product pipeline here) and development progress (trial reports stating the critical measures they take to confirm their product formulation here). Sounds too serious and scientific, right? Absolutely! That is how serious PROJECT B. ASIA (here for more) takes on what they do and feel passionate about - to be transparent about their business of health supplements.
If you had been following LUMINNEJ's Instagram, you would have noticed that we have been adopting a healthier and cleaner approach to diet and exercise regiment. We have always believed in "you are what you eat", hence Project B's Hydrolyzed Biomarine Collagen Peptide 5,000mg and the 100% Natural Fruit Booster piqued our interest and we gladly said yes to the collaboration, now giving the both a try, also the fact that we do feel strongly about the philosophy behind the brand (here for their project mission), hence we gave our collaboration a nickname - Be Bare, Be Beautiful. When you could bare it all, letting your true beauty shine from within and feel totally comfortable about it, that is indeed beautiful. We hope we could at least achieve that with Project B. Let's explore what exactly are these two little powerhouse, shall we?
Our body naturally produces collagen in abundance during our youth, but it comes to a halt when we hit 25 years of age (oh no!). Beyond 30, our self-produced collagen mechanism slows down and declines drastically and this marks the initiation of aging, therefore, making loading up on the intake of collagen a crucial step to ensure continuity of collagen supply in our body as we age.
The package came in an environmentally friendly brown cardboard box, with the company's introduction clearly printed on it, simple and straightforward, no fuss about it. Two tin cans were within the box - one white and the other smaller one in green. Everything is kept very clear cut, including the labels and they even had a list of their ingredients and instruction to consume listed clearly on it. We do find it lovely in their own unique way (although we personally think that they could do better with additional glue to get the edge of the labels secured down properly *_^)
Project B Hydrolyzed Biomarine Collagen Peptide 5,000mg (8G/serving, 30 servings) at MYR175
Unflavoured, unsweetened, clean, 100% collagen and extracts, the brand's pioneer and signature health supplement went through 32 months of development process. This time frame includes 26 months of carefully fine-tuned work and another 6 months to test its efficacy profile on over 48 individuals before it is being rolled out to health lovers and consumers alike.
Not all hydrolyzed collagen are created equal, that we have come to discover. Project B's collagen specially designed to not only replenish and restore body's lost collagen, it also triggers the production of collagen by enhancing collagen gene transcription. In order for collagen to work at its optimal level, the smaller the collagen molecule the better. Project B's collagen has a very low molecule weight of 1,000 Daltons and the European technology is utilised to break down the collagen molecule into micron-sized peptides bioavailable component in order for the body to readily absorbed. Based on the trial formula, it has proven that the peptide enables macromolecules penetration of both oil and water to reach the deep skin cell layers within hours of consumption.
COLL 10+ | The Trademarked Proprietary Blend consists of the below:
Collagen - replenish and restore lost collagen
Vitamin C - Stimulate collagen production and synthesis
CoQ10 - rejuvenate and revitalise aged skin
Bird Nest - promote rosy complexion and brighter skin tone
Alpha Lipoic Acid - potent anti-oxidant remodels cells at DNA level
Grape Seed Extract - photo protective sunscreen effect ingested orally
Royal Jelly Extract - combat oxidative stress and anti-aging properties
Sakura Extract - Tighten pores and promote skin suppleness
Cherry Extract - prevent and reduce the appearance of wrinkles
Cactus Extract - repair damaged skin and stimulate cell renewal
Aloe Vera Extract - improve and retain skin moisture level
Strengthened with 10 extracts, formula tested and proven effective, the collagen aims to tackle the signs of aging. Enriched with high concentration of glycerin, proline and hydroproline amino acids, over 200 nutritional components, 445 times more antioxidants than that of vitamin C alone and with hydrolyzed low molecular weight collagen peptide, it allows effective delivery of collagen to deep skin cell layers with 95% bioavailability reaches the circulation system. The collagen is sourced from reputable suppliers (GMP compliant) and while most marine collagen products in the market sourced theirs from other parts of the fish, Project B sources theirs from fish skin as it has higher protein and lower fat content and lesser fishy taste. That is such a good news indeed. More on the product here.
Project B 100% Natural Fruit Booster (100g at MYR45)
Imported from Italy, 100% natural from the fruits without going through any chemical process or additional sugar, colouring or flavouring, this Fruit Booster is preservatives free. It comes in 3 different flavours of fruits to give the consumer variety of choices, to mix and match as the brand values user experience. The ingredients:
Passion fruit: Maltodextrin, passion fruit powder.
Kiwi: Maltodextrin, kiwi powder.
Mixed berries: Maltodextrin, mixed berries powder.
The fruits are hand-picked in one of the largest fruit-growing areas in Europe, delivering a natural and excellent taste and nutritional value.
We find both products come in really fine powder form but like any powder supplement, one needs a little patience and time to stir the product together well in order to dissolve the clumps that may form while you are making the drink but trust us, it's all worthwhile in the end as the mixture is truly tasty and refreshing (we do prefer ours in chilled water though as the products work in both varied temperatures - hot and cold). Hydrolyzed collagen is white in colour and our Kiwi one has a slight hint of purple in it, but when both mixed and stirred well, it turns into a pinkish tangerine kind of colour. Once mixed in water, it will last 24 hours when refrigerated and 4 hours without, but must be kept at ambient temperature and out of direct sunlight.
How to make your supplement interesting?
One can add Project B Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptide 5,000mg into any of our food or drinks. For instance, popping it into our breakfast as it goes well with coffee, yogurt or we believe it can even be added into our pancake mix since it is heat stable. More on the product here.
How to consume?
Age 25 - 30: Take 1 tablespoon once daily for the first 14 days. Continue supplementation of one tablespoon on alternate days as maintenance. One can add 1 teaspoon of your favourite 100% Natural Fruit Booster into the collagen.
Age 30 - 50: Take 2 tablespoon once daily for the first 14 days. Continue supplementation of one tablespoon on alternate days as maintenance. One can add 1 teaspoon of your favourite 100% Natural Fruit Booster into the collagen.
Age 50 and above: Take two tablespoon once daily for as long as results are desirable. One can add 1 teaspoon of your favourite 100% Natural Fruit Booster into the collagen.
We shall continue to consume these for the next 3 months and see their efficacy and effects on our overall complexion. Besides, we have a little surprise for you by April, so stay tuned and come back to find out more about our Be Bare, Be Beautiful journey with Project B! A huge thanks to the brand for the love. Catch them on their gorgeous Instagram here and Facebook here for move delectable healthy treats and ideas *_^
Have a luminously beautiful weekend ahead, lovelies. Stay happy and heathy, always!
