What is Happy Collagen?

What is Happy Collagen?

 

Happy Collagen is by far one of the best collagen supplements on the market today. It’s naturopathically blended with prebiotics, probiotics, potent skin healing antioxidants and collagen peptides. Collagen peptides constitute 95% of human skin and show abundant and powerful benefits in wound healing, anti-aging, hyperpigmentation, bone remodeling, muscle repair, intestinal health, vaginal/uterine/pelvic structural support as well as the aesthetic perks of nourishing your hair and nails. There’s a LOT of benefits when it comes to collagen peptides. 

Collagen is an abundant protein in animals, and collagen peptides are amino acids (glycine, proline, hydroxyproline, and arginine). Collagen conjoins connective tissues. Think of it as a support net or building block for all of your cellular structures—literally, for everything.

You can read more about what collagen peptides are.

What's in Happy Collagen?

Here’s why we are in LOVE with our Happy Collagen formula. This magical potion consists of the following ingredients.

Collagen

Happy Collagen contains Grass Fed Bovine Collagen. The reason for this is it contains predominantly types 1 and 3 collagen which are the primary forms of collagen in the skin. Marine collagen for example only contains type 1. So it is important you get the right form of collagen for optimal skin health. 

Zinc

Zinc is a well known healing agent and involved in over 200 enzymatic pathways in the body so essential for overall health. Zinc helps to build skin immunity and is involved in the repair processes in the skin. 

Pomegranate 

Pomegranates are one of the healthiest foods in the world. This beautiful fruit is a potent antimicrobial, antioxidant and immune modulator. Pomegranate enhances every aspect of your health, including nourishment and healing for cardiovascular, viral, inflammatory, metabolic, microbial, intestinal, reproductive and skin diseases. Pomegranate yields exorbitant amounts of vitamins such as A, C, E as well as antioxidants. 

Hibiscus 

This cooling flower is excellent for menopausal hot flushes or for those who just run hot. It has quite an affinity for central nervous and cardiovascular system invigoration. Hibiscus may help to reduce atherosclerosis, diabetes, pathogenic overgrowths, liver congestion and skin inflammation, which is why it is the perfect collagen powder ingredient. Hibiscus is 85% total anthocyanins (major antioxidant), making it impressive at supporting the vascular and skin systems. 

Beetroot

Did you know that beetroot has been reported as one of the top ten vegetables with the strongest antioxidant activity? This is due to the antioxidant betalain (this is what gives beetroot its gorgeous purple/red colour) and numerous other antioxidant compounds such as nitrates. Beetroot may reduce cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure, atherosclerosis and cognition issues. It’s excellent for enhancing libido, penile dysfunction, wound healing, red blood cell development and immunity. People with anaemia, muscle weakness and chronic fatigue would highly benefit from beetroot’s health benefits which is why we include it in our Happy Collagen supplement.

acerola cherries Happy Collagen

Acerola cherry 

Our next collagen powder ingredient is acerola fruit which contains an exorbitant amount of ascorbic acid in the range of 1500–4500 mg/100 g (around 50–100 times more than an orange or lemon). Just 3 acerola cherries per day would be sufficient for the adult dietary intake of Vitamin C. These delicious fruits are abundant in skin-loving nutrients such as Vitamin A, iron, calcium and B-vitamins.

Elderberry extract 

Elderberry substantially protects against skin oxidative stressors and is a naturally rich source of quercetin, and rutin. Quercetin and rutin are excellent immune modulators that are ideal for histamine-induced inflammation (e.g. psoriasis, hayfever, recurring headaches, viral infections, hives, and itchy skin). Elderberry enhances liver detoxification and reduces histamine-inducing enzymes that cause uncomfortable signs and symptoms! 

Probiotic blend

  • Lactobacillus reuteri can increase dermal thickness and oily skin
  • Lactobacillus paracasei can improve skin sensitivity and barrier function
  • It has also been reported that Bifidobacterium longum strains are amazing for skin rejuvenation
  • The bacterial probiotics Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus have been shown to exert beneficial effects on overall skin health and glow, particularly via immune modulation and promoting anti-inflammatory pathways (super histamine related)
Prebiotics

Probiotics are very important for skin health however you need to feed them. Otherwise supplemental probiotics are very temporary. Every ingredient in Happy Collagen listed here, apart from the collagen, act as a prebiotic for the probiotics to feed on. We also included a substance called PHGG which means partially hydrolysed guar gum. It is a new ingredient that has been clinically shown to build probiotics numbers as a food source. A healthy digestive system is critical for healthy skin. 

Rosehip

Rosehips is a collagen powder ingredient that contains vitamins A, C plus essential fatty acids. Vitamin A protects the skin from sun damage, aids skin repair, reduces fine lines, deep wrinkles and pigmentation. Rosehips are loaded with lycopene and beta carotene. These pigments promote skin health, cellular turnover, plumping, and significantly reduce hyperpigmentation. 

Maitake & Shiitake 

These medicinal mushrooms comprise antioxidants and key anti-inflammatory compounds that help nurture and lessen skin problems. The kojic acid in maitake and shiitake are renowned to lighten and brighten skin. Kojic acid is a natural alternative to dangerous, toxic, chemical skin lighteners, such as hydroquinone (which has recently been linked to skin cancer).

Burdock Root 

Burdock root is known for its antitumor, anti-aging, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, neuroprotective, liver protective and stress regulatory properties. It’s kind of a big deal in the herbal world, especially for skincare. Burdock is an excellent collagen powder ingredient for reducing inflammation within the skin's dermal layers; its perfect for reducing boils, acne, itching, redness and rashes. This is great for wound healing, diminishing scars, hyperpigmentation and premature aging.

Horsetail

Horsetail is traditionally known to strengthen hair as strong as a ‘horse's tail’, hence its name. It contains several hair fortifying minerals such as silicon, potassium, calcium, manganese, magnesium, phosphorus, vitamin A, E, and C. The heightened silicon levels in horsetail improve collagen production, blood vessel walls, and accelerate wound healing. If you’re looking for hair, skin and nail support - we LOVE horsetail. 

Schisandra Berries

Schisandra Berries

Schisandra is a well-established adaptogen and tonic in the herbal world and is included in our Happy Collagen supplement. It’s ideal for enhancing physical and mental stamina, day/night vision, reducing fatigue and inflammatory skin conditions. Schisandra can help to reduce P. acnes bacterium and overactive mast-cell stimulation, a key driver behind dermatitis and allergic skin reactions. 

Nettle leaves 

Nettle is a superior herb when it comes to supporting the urinary tract, jaundice, heavy or prolonged periods, arthritis and rheumatism. Nettle is powerful in reducing aches, pains, UTIs, bladder incontinence and inflammation. This potent little herb is frequently used for the treatment of anemia and weaknesses as it can increase iron-binding capacity, red cell folate and vitamin B12.

Chlorella

Chlorella is a skin and body superfood. Chlorella deeply cleanses the blood, balances hormones, improves skin tissue and so much more (we seriously love chlorella for detoxing the skin). Chlorella is one of the most condensed vegan sources of protein boasting a whopping 60%, including most of the essential amino acids that you need to thrive. This super alga contains naturally occurring D-mannose and N-acetylgalactosamine, perfect for inhibiting candida overgrowth and immune disrupting pathogens.

Matcha 

Matcha provides 137 times the amount of antioxidants compared to green tea (yowza!), making it an incredible skin and complexion brightening collagen powder ingredient. Matcha provides incredible alkalising benefits to the body by restoring healthy blood pH, reducing inflammatory processes and ensuring adequate cell turnover.

Gooseberry aka Amla berries 

Gooseberries are argued as ‘the most important medicinal plant in Ayurvedic medicine’ as well as being ‘nature's gift to humans’ given its extensive treatment capacity. 

Various research indicates this cooling herb may: 

  • Protect the liver, cardiovascular system and reduce cholesterol
  • Improve cognition and memory recall 
  • Improve insulin resistance
  • Significantly improve wound healing and skin barrier function
  • Reduce skin rashes, itching, and dermatological conditions e.g. eczema, acne, dermatitis, and histamine reactions
  • Improve iron absorption and utilisation
  • Repair DNA damage, particularly, within skin dermal layers
  • Improve lung health conditions such as asthma and bronchitis 
  • Promote healthy ovulation and hormonal communication
  • Increase libido and reduce vaginal inflammation (particularly, vaginal burning)
Camu Camu

Camu Camu is abundant in carotenoids, flavonoids, anthocyanins, and vitamin C (yep - all of the very best antioxidants mother nature can offer). Per 5g, Camu camu yields a whopping average of ​​200 to 700 mg of vitamin C! Kind of insane. Camu Camu is admiringly nurturing for inflammatory skin lesions, osteoarthritis, elevated liver enzymes, obesity and diabetes.

So there you have it, all the reasons why we LOVE our Happy Collagen blend. We hope you love it, too!

Happy Hormones

In 2020 I started loosing a lot of hair from my crown. It was so distressing to see almost half of my thickness disappear in the last 2years. Then I started taking happy hormones at the beginning of this year and my crown has grown hair as have the sides of my temples which were empty. To say I am happy is an understatement I am forever grateful to have come across this incredible product. View the pictures now and before shots. Thankyou Happy Hormones your product is exceptional!

Thank Goodness I Found You!

I’ve been having hot flushes for about 4 years or so but am still only peri menopausal. My flushes have pretty much stopped, I probably chose the wrong time of year to start taking these wonder capsules as now I’m feeling the cold here in Melbourne…this time last year I was still walking around in t-shirts and Havi’s! Another amazing benefit is that I was still taking the contraceptive pill to regulate and to prevent severe cramping not only during my cycle but also during ovulation. I decided to stop taking the pill to see if my cycle had stopped naturally as I turned 50 in January, it hasn’t, so the ovulation pain that came 2 weeks later was excruciating and I was effectively bed ridden for 5 days! I was DREADING my period! Whilst ovulating I had starting taking Happy Hormones and lo and behold, when the period arrived, NO PAIN!! I had told my Dr that I had planned on restarting the pill….no longer necessary! I’m so extremely grateful to have found HH and that I took the chance to try something natural…it’s been a complete game changer for me!

Keep Calm and Carry On

Have been taking HH for about 5 years now and they truly work. The formula of HH is the best I have ever come across. I feel calmer taking them and they keep the hot flushes to either nothing or very mild. I take two capsules twice daily which seems to be the best maintenance dose. Go on try them, HH really work.

Amazing

I have been taking HH for over a year and each time i think I can go without them I notice such a decrease in energy and mood. They have made a significant difference to my life and mood. I am a shift worker and I highly recommend for any women peri menopausal and low energy levels.

I wish I'd tried HH sooner.

Happy Hormones is my life saver

I started going through peri menopause and am having a period every 3-5 months. My biggest symptom beside insomnia is hot flushes. I was having one every 10 minutes and I became a very horrible person as I just couldn't stand them. Enter Happy Hormones, I was having 2 morning and night and it wasn't doing anything and then someone on the FB page suggested 3 morning and night and for that I am forever grateful as now I am not grumpy all the time and the hot flushes are like maybe 5 a day now. I am sure my husband and kids thanks you more :)

Mother's Little Helper

My great friend Lori Woodhouse recommended I take Happy Hormones almost four years ago. It is the only supplement I have really noticed a significant improvement in my well being. I haven't gone without it since! I went from struggling to cope with being a working mum to enjoying parenting, and being able to balance life. I returned to uni whilst still working, finished my degree, and accepted a new job which is interesting, family friendly and challenging. I don't believe I could have managed all that in the past 4 years without my daily dose of Happy Hormones, and of course the support of my wonderful friend Lori Woodhouse. Lori also landed her dream job in that time, which combines her skills as a Registered Nurse with a passion for health at Happy Healthy You! This is us at my 50th Birthday Lunch just four weeks ago!
