Collagen Drink
Forget energy drinks – Collagen-enhancing drinks are all the rage, only in Japan! And I thought I’d seen my share of the bizzarro. I was wrong. All the pharmacies in Japan have a ‘health drinks’ section – and that’s where I found this Collagen beverage.
In fact, I have even seen this particular bottle for sale at some everyday convenience stores like 7-11. I would give you more detail, but I can’t for the life of me read Japanese. From what the bottle says, one of my assumptions would have to be that it contains 1000mg of Vitamin C. Who knows what the other 3000mg is!
I am assuming that this product would somehow increase one’s collagen intake? Improve skin texture? Decrease wrinkles? Improve your overall wellbeing? I didn’t want to risk having a trout pout during my trip, so unfortunately I didn’t sample this! It was still an intriguing find though, I must say!
If you’re wondering what the 3000 mg part is, it says “Korooogen” (the dash inicates it’s stressed) anyway yeah is collogen. And the writing right underneath the main text is “Vitamin Collegen”. So hopefully any diseases of collegen you have will be cured haha. By the way, if you ever see a drink with the label C.C. Lemon in a vending machine, buy it. It’s great. It’s like a soda lemonade and in the nutrition facts it said something like 500% Vitamin C (it’s been a while since I last had it). It’s crazy, made me feel super refreshed.
