Rosalind Hed Sweet, at your service with any questions you may have! LOL

Love those fine lines? Those gut issues?

Let me ask you…
 
Would you like to reduce the appearance of those fine lines and wrinkles in a little as 3 weeks??
 
Want to strengthen your skin, hair and nails from the inside out?
 
Are you looking for a bioavailable, tasteless, prebiotic fiber that balances your gut microbiome…and is free from all the artificial fillers, flavors, colors and sweeteners??
 
Yes? Well, then, let me introduce you to Inner Beauty Collagen…free with your eligible order through Jan. 31, but available to order anytime!

 
Collagen is THE protein of your body. It's the most abundant protein and is the crucial support piece for your hair, skin, nails, joints, muscles and gut lining. Collagen also helps with melatonin levels (your natural sleep hormone!), antioxidant levels (so important for overall health and longevity), and a healthy liver. Unfortunately, collagen levels decrease as you get older (starting as early as age 25!), but as it decreases, we actually need it the most (joint needs, skin and hair trouble, brittle nails, etc.). As you age your natural collagen also becomes more fragmented and fragile, so it doesn't hold up as well as it used to. Because of this, adding a high-quality collagen supplement to your health routine is a great way to help your body replenish collagen levels and promote its own collagen production.

INNER BEAUTY COLLAGEN TESTIMONIES
I am loving it. I had brain surgery over 17yrs ago and the left side of my face has been swollen since from cartilage & scar tissue. (I'm assuming).  The swelling has gone down tremendously. My face has got thinner and the lines on my forehead, which wasn't a lot, but they have lightened up. I really don't think the left side of my face from my surgery will ever go away but if it's inflammation or swelling whatever it is with it just going down, I am so thankful for because that is one of my insecurities. - Angel L.

I am on Day 24. I have noticed a difference in my forehead lines. I have also noticed a difference in the softness of my skin especially on my hands—I wish I had taken pictures of my hands at the beginning. - Noelle M.

I can already see more even skin tone and less wrinkles around my eyes. And my skin over all is less dry. And I would have to say my pores on my face seem smaller - Janell R.
My hair is growing so long and so fast!!! - Katie F.
