Lorna Vanderhaeghe Active Collagen Drink Mix is sourced from European waters to meet the highest standards of purity.  Active Collagen is a marine ingredient composed of collagen and elastin polypeptides present in the same ratio that is naturally found in the skin.  Active Collagen has a synergistic anti-wrinkle action: when taken orally, collagen and elastin stimulate the skin to lift and tone sagging areas and minimize lines and wrinkles.  Active Collagen also increases the moisture level of dry skin and fight aging related to free radical damage.  Active Collagen polypeptides have a low molecular weight, making it water soluble and easily absorbed by the body.
