One of the thing I’ve learnt from the Japanese and trying to follow diligently is to adopt a tea drinking habit.
Knowing that the teas are full of antioxidants and could keep our cells energized and healthy, I tell myself must drink it regularly!

Shizuoka accounts for almost half of Japan’s overall tea production, and this prefecture has premium tea plantations because of its water quality and climate for production.

FactsaboutCollagen
Collagen is made up of a triple helical structure in the extracellular matrix. The most abundant form of protein in the human body, it makes up 75% of our skin and is therefore the key component towards supple and healthy radiant skin.
An important protein that forms the basic structure of skin, hair, blood vessels, cartilage and bones in the human body, collagen is essential for skin suppleness and moisture retention to maintain skin elasticity and radiance. Our body loses collagen after the age of 25 and daily replenishment is required to ensure that skin is kept healthy and youthful.
There are various sources (fish, beef, pork, chicken) where collagen may be extracted from. Clinical studies showed that fish skin and scales contain higher amounts of collagen with higher bioavailability in body than collagen from other animal sources. Fish collagen is also proven to have higher efficacy than other forms of collagen. Collagen extracted from fish scale has a higher degree of purity and is less affected by animal diseases/infections like bovine spongiform encephalopathy (mad cow disease).
Collagen peptides are small bioactive peptides obtained by breaking down of the molecular bonds between individual collagen strands to peptides.
New Moon uses only high-quality Fish Collagen Peptide for all collagen products. The smaller collagen molecules is known for better absorption by the body as compared to normal, bigger collagen molecules which cannot be easily digested and absorbed.
Collagen is an important constituent of connective tissues within the body. Skin, joints and hair all contain collagen. Regular supplementation of collagen sees benefits to the abovementioned parts of the body and retards aging of the body.
