I need to find collagen and nightingale droppings

I was watching Oprah and it was an episode on Beauty secrets around the world. They went to Japan and saw what women there did. Many of the women there are concerned with having beautiful porcelain like skin. There were 2 very popular things they did. One was they drink collagen. It comes in this thing that looks like milk lol and you mix it with water and drink a glass in the morning and one at night. The women they talked to have been doing this for years and all had amazing skin. I can see how this works bc here in the US when women get certain face treatments to look younger, its collagen injected in your face usually. Its so popular in Japan that they even have it at restaurants.

Another thing I saw and I have been hearing ALOT about this, is nightingale droppings. It is VERY popular in Japan and many women do this. Its mixed in with a cleanser so it looks like a regular face cleanser. Women there swear by this. I just looked it up and one site that sells it is saying that due to the very high demand of it, they are experiencing delays in shipping.

Curious, would you try this? they say alot of celebrities use this too, Victoria beckham they say gets the nightingale dropping facials

Here is the site, theres also an article that you can click on and read, it says 'nightingale facial'

Hmmmm, well it is pretty inexpensive for a face treatment but the whole idea of putting excrement on my face makes me want to gag

the nightingale droppings are powdered and sterilized using a UV light, with rice, bran and water to make a paste. So not like it looks like it lol its all powder.

At first i thought ugh so disgusting but hmmm if it looks like a powder i just might

i mean we put chemicals on our faces and who knows what else is in some of these things

Oooo thank you. I know sounds crazy but i think i would be willing to try this. Here is what it says on the site.

The original hydrolyzed Super Collagen+C Tablet and Super Collagen Powder since 1986.
Derived from 100% pure Bovine sources, using only selected food source cattle.
Extracted from only the dermis (skin) of selected cattle, the safest and richest source of collagen, NOT bone or trachea.
Made of pharmaceutical food-grade hydrolyzed bovine-skin collagen, NOT whole gelatin.
Hydrolyzed into lower molecular weight for maximum absorption.
Powder is water soluble, neutral tasting, and mixes easily with water or juice.

Contains hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine, two amino acids specific to only Collagen. Are not regularly found in amino acid supplements and are especially important to our collagen production.

About 30% of body's protein is collagen. Collagen Type I is 90% of the body's total collagen supply. Both Collagen I & III are the main collagen types in connective tissue.

so they rub bird poop on their faces and this is considered a beauty regimen? I think i'll pass....

oh if you dont even eat beef then I can understand why you are weirded out by it, makes alot of sense. If people who eat beef are weirded out then I would just say we eat all other parts of the cow so whats the difference. Your case is different

drinking collagen just doesn't sound safe to me. I'd sooner put nightingale poop on my face

well no its not like they take poop and just rub that poop on your face as is the nightingale dropping is made into a powder mix, and sterlized under a uv light and it is bacteria free. They then add rice, bran and water to it so its a mixture not like a nightingale poops and they put it directly on your face haha

i think people think of it like the injection they put into faces so dont see it safe. But all collagen is in this case is the skin of a cow, which compared to the othe parts we eat isnt bad theres no chemicals or anything like that in there. Imagine it like when you eat the skin off a chicken, many people even love the skin and its their favorite part. Here is the definition of collagen from wikipedia and its ALREADY In alot of food we eat

Collagen is the main protein of connective tissue in animals and the most abundant protein in mammals,[1] making up about 25% to 35% of the whole-body protein content.

Collagen is one of the long, fibrous structural proteins whose functions are quite different from those of globular proteins such as enzymes. Tough bundles of collagen called collagen fibers are a major component of the extracellular matrix that supports most tissues and gives cells structure from the outside, but collagen is also found inside certain cells. Collagen has great tensile strength, and is the main component of fascia, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, bone and skin. Along with soft keratin, it is responsible for skin strength and elasticity, and its degradation leads to wrinkles that accompany aging. It strengthens blood vessels and plays a role in tissue development. It is present in the cornea and lens of the eye in crystalline form. It is also used in cosmetic surgery and burns surgery. Hydrolyzed collagen can play an important role in weight management. As a protein, it can be advantageously used for its satiating power. [2]

here are some foods its in. If you eat falvored gelatin desserts its in there, here is info

If collagen is partially hydrolyzed, the three tropocollagen strands separate into globular, random coils, producing gelatin, which is used in many foods, including flavoured gelatin desserts.

i did do research and i think everybody is misunderstanding what collagen is. I think theyre thinking of the wrong thing. Collagen is skin of a cow and even a pig. I mean we eat all the other parts and people eat even pigs skin bc they like it. Its no chemicals or anything like that. I mean not to be gross but some people eat the butt of a pig or pigs feet, and in a hotdog they have all the parts that people normally dont eat and throw it in together, what you eat in a hotdog is even worse. I can guarantee that collagen from a cow is healthier than what they serve at mcdonalds lol. What do you think is in that. Same thing its a part of a cow

also this is not something that is new. Women have been doing this in japan for so many years and nobody has any problems. Infact it is the opposite, it has health benefits too, they use this for medical treatments too to help with your ligaments and many other uses. Infact the collagen is the most nutrious part of a cow and has the most benefits, more than any other part of a cow that we do eat

here are the benefits of it

Along with soft keratin, it is responsible for skin strength and elasticity, and its degradation leads to wrinkles that accompany aging. It strengthens blood vessels and plays a role in tissue development. It is present in the cornea and lens of the eye in crystalline form. It is also used in cosmetic surgery and burns surgery.
