Vii Nutrition Sakura Collagen and Microalgae Supplement Review

I turned 30 in May. A huge reminder to myself: self-care is important!

Did you know? We start losing collagen at 25! And it's not just for beauty - benefits of collagen include better heart health, faster injury recovery, helps skin ailments, protein deficiency and more.

I was sent these 2 products that will make me feel better inside and out.

Vii Nutrition Sakura Collagen (SC+)

Key ingredients of Vii Nutrition Sakura Collagen:

• Patented sakura extract from Japan
• VERISOL collagen peptide from Germany (this one's uniquely formulated for skin health!)
• TetraSOD marine microalgae from Spain (for skin immunity and renewal)
• Japanese Yuzu Seed Extract
• Roselle Extract

Benefits of Vii Nutrition Sakura Collagen

SC+ combines 3 patented ingredients and 2 natural extracts to give you brighter, firmer skin with reduced wrinkles. It also promises to improve the skin barrier and skin moisture retention.

Omg look at that pretty colour! Just mix 1 sachet daily into a cup of room temperature water. Very very convenient compared to tubs because you can drink this on the go. Btw, despite what most brands claim, you CAN taste the collagen taste in them. I normally add a bit of ice to make it more delectable. It's almost like a berry drink?

Vii Nutrition Microalgae+ (MA+)

Vii Nutrition MA+ is made from TetraSOD® found in microalgae; it is a natural source of antioxidants, oils, proteins and vitamins straight from the ocean!

Primary vs Secondary Antioxidants

Touted as the first step of healthy ageing, I did ask them what makes MA+ different from other anti-oxidant products in the market.

I was surprised to know that there are 2 types of antioxidants: Vitamin A, Vitamin C etc are all secondary antioxidants. There are only 3 types of primary antioxidants - SOD, CAT and GPX which are what they have in MA+. These are 1,000,000x better at killing free radicals, and in time enhancing our immune system!

Benefits of Vii Nutrition MA+:

• Improved absorption efficiency
• Extract in powder form is easy to consume
• Contains 76 macro- and trace minerals including zinc, magnesium, calcium, iron and more!

Unlike the Sakura Collagen, Vii Nutrition MA+ one can be eaten straight out of the sachet without any water. It's a very fine powder that melts almost instantly!

I take both of these in the mornings before I start work - just gulp down the whole cup so I can make my coffee 😂 I've only been consuming them for about 2 weeks so I'm gonna be honest, I can't see physical change but health is what's inside anyway!
