Fusion Naturals Vegan Collagen Booster helps the body form connective tissues and skin that improves joint health, reduces wrinkles and promotes healthier skin. Many collagen supplements are sourced from animal products that may be hard for human absorption and utilization. Fusion Naturals’ U.S. Patent-pending formula Vegan Collagen Booster offers a solution to boost the body's internal formulation of collagen. An unpublished scientific study showed a 15.4 percent increase in collagen density, an 8.2 percent increase in skin elasticity, a 7.3 percent decrease in fine lines, and a 9.1 percent decrease in transdermal water loss. It comes in a canister with individual stick packs for on-the-go. Just mix with 10 ounces of water.
Melatonin, a hormone that regulates the sleep-wake cycle, is probably the most researched natural remedy for occasional sleeplessness. Unfortunately, melatonin is quickly metabolized, so it leaves the body within four hours. This means that it’s effective for those who have trouble falling asleep, but it doesn’t do much for those who wake during the night or early in the morning. Quality of Life’s Melatonin-SR provides melatonin in a special micronized, sustained-release matrix using patent-pending MicroActive technology to help you fall asleep and stay asleep.
