New Collagen Supplement Drink by Calla-Coll

At The Amazing Blog we believe in the saying: “When you put good in, you get good out," so when we received the new collagen supplement drink Calla-Coll that contains peptides and hyaluronic acid too, we were interested to put it to the test. Skincare professional, Lynne Baker from Calla Salon, has worked hard for the past five years to create this high-potency drink with the help of a specialist lab in Sweden using bovine collagen. 


As we age, our body naturally slows down its production of collagen. Soon enough we begin to see fine lines on our skin and start to feel achy in our joints and that’s when we know we need to take action. Calla-Coll is expertly formulated using the best ingredients to ensure our nails, skin, hair, joints and our overall body is functioning as it should be. The formula is also enriched with essential vitamins C, B5, B6, B7 and B12 and the key ingredient: Type I and Type II bovine collagen, which is sourced from organic, free-range, grass fed and non-GMO cattle in Brazil. Together, these ingredients rejuvenate your body from the inside; giving you the energy you need to work through your busy day. The liquid formula makes it simple to take before you head out the door in comparison to most powder formulas that are difficult to fully mix.


The sweet berry flavour makes it enjoyable to take a shot on its own, but it can always be added to your favourite fruit smoothie. We added it to our banana and vanilla protein drink in the morning. We think that you need to take this supplement for three months before seeing visible results, we only had twenty days supply, although our executive editor did notice a little more mobility in her joints. This supplement comes in a neat 500ml plastic bottle with a separate small measuring cap. All you need is 25ml a day to help keep your body looking and feeling younger. Calla-Coll is available for purchase here for £45.

 

Udo's Choice - Ultimate Oil Blend

blog template Udo's Choice - Ultimate Oil Blend is a  product that I’ve been a fan of for quite a few years. And I’ve been trying to convince my fellow Amazing Blog-gers to take their daily teaspoons of Udos too. Alas, (until now) it has fallen on deaf ears…  they are fed up with me being a terrible bore banging the drum about putting more good oils into their bodies. Flax seed oil is my No 1 hero oil (Udo's key ingredient) and I’ll tell you why.  Having had a childhood in the wilds of Northamptonshire riding (and falling off) crazy horses I’ve sustained a whole host of injuries that keep coming back to haunt me. I’d roll out of bed each morning unable to move – hips hurting and legs not working. Then a nutritionist friend recommended taking regular amounts of Udo's Oil. And I kid you not, within 10 days I noticed a remarkable difference… and I now positively glide out of bed!

However, I want to point out that Udo's Choice is not just good for oiling damaged joints, it has a phenomenal combination of cold pressed organic oils containing Omega 3, 6, & 9 Fatty acids. These all help to make your hair and nails grow as well as keeping your skin supple and rehydrated.  I actually love drizzling it over rice or steamed veg, it tastes really nutty and delicious – in fact I’ve even made mayonnaise combining it with lemon too. To me the Omega 3’s are magical. Not only do they play an integral part in repairing our cell membranes, they also moisturise the skin from within. There are quite a few celebrity fans including top make-up artist Jemma Kidd, broadcaster Janey Lee Grace and nutritionists Amanda Hamilton. Still not convinced?

Then you should consider doing the Udos Choice 6 Week Challenge. This is when you buy two bottles of Udo's Choice online to use, and then each week they will email you with a selection of recipes ideas to give you lots of inspiration. After the 6 weeks, Udos will send you a gentle reminder to share your views and to let them know how you got on. The best bit is that as a thank you they will send you a gift voucher for £3 off your next 500ml bottle. Now that can’t be bad!  Priced at 500ml bottle £19.99, 250ml bottle £10.99 or  90 x 1000ml capsules £18.99 it is available with FREE delivery online.
