Dear -, think about your typical morning:
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tWhen you roll out of bed, do you feelstifferthan you used to?
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tAnd do you noticelines and wrinklesaround your eyes, mouth, and neck that just don’t look likeyou?
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tLook at your fingers right now — any chipped or brittle nails?
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tWorst of all…
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tDo you look OLDER on the outside than you feel on the inside?
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tTrust me, I’ve been there — and I know how frustrating it can feel.
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tAround the time I turned 40, Ireallyfelt like I was aging faster than I was comfortable with.
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tMyhips and shoulders achedafter what used to be easy activities for me, like golf and pickleball...
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tMyhair looked thinnerthan it did when I was younger…
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tAnd I started noticingwrinkles on my skinwhich made me lookwayolder than I was.
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tAnd I’ll be honest… all of these changes made me feelreallybad about myself.
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tI no longer felt like the healthy, active person I once was.
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tIn fact, I felt like wrinkles and achy joints were just a part of life after 40 — and that didn’t sit well with me.
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tSo out of curiosity (or desperation 🤣), I dove into learning aboutwhymy body felt like it was “falling apart”...
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tAnd I found a surprising answer:
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tThese “aging side effects” weren’t just a natural part of getting older…
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tThey’re actually due todecreased collagen production.1
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tSee, collagen is the “glue” which holds your whole body together — ligaments, tendons, muscles, even your organs.
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tSo when the “glue” starts to loosen over time —at a rate of 1% every year!— you can see and feel the effects all over your body.2
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tThis is especially true after age 40 — when your collagen production dropsdramatically.
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tAs a result, you might notice DEEPER wrinkles, SAGGING skin, a DULL complexion, STIFF joints, and BRITTLE nails.
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tYour energy levels might start to tank… your focus might start to dwindle… and suddenly, you feel alot olderthan you’d like.
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tWell, the good news is…
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tYou CAN easily build new, strong collagen which is customized toyourbody’s needs...
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tSo you can feel youthful, energetic, and vibrant again — with smoother skin and stronger nails, too.3,4
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tNow, you might be thinking I’m just going to recommend a collagen supplement…
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tBut I actually advise AGAINST takinganyformula containing animal collagen.
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tSee, traditional supplements contain large molecules of collagen fromdead animals’ skin, bones, and cartilage
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tWhich your body has to work double-time to break down into smalleramino acids5
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tAnd then use those amino acids to rebuild NEW collagen.
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tI like to think of it this way:
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tIf collagen is a house, amino acids are the bricks.
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tAnd if you’re building a new house, you wouldn’t FIRST take apart anoldhouse and usethosebricks to build a new house.
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tYou’d just use NEW bricks to build a new house!
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tSo instead of eating another animal’s collagen — which is what traditional collagen supplements are...
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tThe BEST way to grow new collagen is to simply eat all the necessary amino acids to make yourowncollagen.
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tNow, your body needs at least 18 different amino acids to produce collagen.5
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tAnd unfortunately, most of these important amino acids areonlyfound in animals’ bones, skin, and cartilage.
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tLearning this bummed me out, because I wanteveryoneto be able to easily build new, fresh, strong collagen —
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tNot just meat-eaters, or people who are willing to follow a restrictive diet…
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tSo you can feel younger, revitalized, and more confidentwithoutmaking any dramatic lifestyle changes.
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tThat’s what led me and my partner, Dr. Lipman, to explore Vollagen®…
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tAn amazing plant-based formula which providesthe exact amino acid cocktail necessary for building new collagen.6
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tVollagen® helps you achieve glowing skin, supple joints, and lustrous hairwithoutingestinganyanimal collagen.
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tYep — all 18 amino acids inoneformula. ZERO animals required.
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tI was so encouraged!
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tIfinallyhad an answer to the collagen dilemma…
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tA simple, easy way for you tobuildnewcollagen customized toyourbody— and achieve visibly smoother skin, more mobile joints, stronger nails, and ayounger-feeling body.
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tBut before I got too carried away, Dr. Lipman reminded me that in order to actuallyuseall those amino acids…
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tOur bodies also need 3additionalnutrients — biotin, silicon, and arginine.7,8,9
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tRemember that brick house metaphor from earlier?
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tWell, biotin, silicon, and arginine are like themortar— they helpconnectthe bricks to build a sturdy house.
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tThis helpsstrengthenthe collagen — to support smoother, tighter, firmer-looking skin…
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tMore agile joints and muscles which don’t feel so stiff when you walk up the stairs…
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tStronger nails you can grow long without constant chipping...
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tAnd more YOUTHFUL energy to do the things you love — without feeling slowed-down or sluggish.
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tSo, we sourced the best biotin, the purest silicon, and the highest quality arginine on the market —
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tTo help promotebrand newcollagen production in your body.
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tAnd I combined all these revitalizing ingredients into a unique and powerful formula:
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tBioCollagen Complex.
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tThis groundbreaking blend is designed to give your bodyallthe building blocks it needs to build your OWN fresh, strong, youthful collagen…

\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tP.S. You may have tried other collagen supplements and not seen an improvement in your skin, joints, and hair.
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tAnd there’s a reason for that!
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tRemember, most collagen supplements are made from dead animals’ bones and skin…
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tAnd they’re notbioavailable— meaning your body has to break down that old collagen and rebuild new collagen using the amino acids…
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tWhich isn’t easy or efficient for your body.
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tButunlikethose other formulas…
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tBioCollagen Complex gives your body the amino acids it needs to build fresh, strong collagen customized foryourbody’s needs.
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tSo if you’ve tried other collagen products without seeing improvements to how you look and feel…
\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\tGive BioCollagen Complex a try.It’s a brand-new approach to collagen building —and I guarantee you’ll love it, or I’ll buy your bottles back.
