I need to find collagen and nightingale droppings

Original post by Espo22

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'

collagen doesn't bother me- I think its in lotions Im already using. And people get it injected, so if its proven to be safe to drink, then pour me a cup! LOL! Isn't it supposed to help cellulite???


yeah i know some people are weirded out by it but it is already in alot of foods we do eat now but people just don't know it. Yeah i think it does help with cellulite bc it helps with the elastascity of your skin so probably.

i'll put it to you this way, i dont even eat mcdonalds, sorry it grosses me out and on rare occasions ill give in like last week dh and i were coming home late from seeing apartments and we didnt have dinner yet. He wanted mcdonalds and i gave in and regretted it later. I eat it maybe once or twice a year and have gone some years without eating it at all. I worry about what i am putting into my body with mcdonalds, but i am ok with collagen lol. So not like i would just eat or drink anything bc you drink collagen. All it is, is a part of a cow. They even serve it at restaurants.

yeah have you seen supersize me they show what is in everything. Ugh the chicken nuggests part grossed me out lol. Yeah infact its better than mcdonalds lol bc mcdonalds is not good for your health but collagen is. Ive eaten cow brain so guess thats why im not grossed out, if i can eat that part i cant complain about this lol, i was tricked into it lol but it wasnt bad. Also look at tripe soup its the lining of a cows stomach.

I would actually try something like this, very interesting.


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.

Super Collagen Powder:

Natural food source of collagens I & III.
Supports healthy hair, skin, nails, tendons & ligaments.
Helps maintain lean muscle for weight management.

NeoCell Collagen Powder Features:

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.



I know I think I might give it a shot as well...do you think there are any negative effects for pregnancy or trying to get pregnant????

oh that i do not know. I read all the medical benefits for it, and they say it has more proteins than any other part of a cow so there is a benefit to it. But i would ask your gyno about that before you think of doing it.

it does both actually.

Also to point out, when you go get collagen injected into your face at a dr's office, its also collagen used from an animal. Also what some plastic surgeons do, actually alot of them do this, is they take fat from other parts of your body and inject it into your face. I think people assume that if its used for cosmetic surgery its all un-natural stuff but most of the time women have their own fat injected into their face bc thats what really helps

Re: I need to find collagen and nightingale droppings

I just wanted to add that in asia, skin care is more of a lifestyle thing...not just like a quick fix creme. Everyone there is soooo afraid to be tan (since farmers are usually very dark from being outside, it's associated with being of a lower class).

Whenever I go to Taiwan to visit, I'm always amazed to see everyone in long sleeves and pants, wide brimmed hats and an umbrella in 100 degree weather. Everyone carries an umbrella when it's sunny out. They do everything they can to prevent the sun from hitting their skin. (Meanwhile, I'm practically stripping off my clothes to get some color!!! The grass is always greener....!)

It's great to try the creams and drinks...but it's all that skin protection stuff too!

in Greece, everyone in the summer makes fun of us Americans who tan..they say we now blend with the Gypsy's lol since i don't tan... Americans go to the beach 12-5 Greeks after 4pmish lol

Also, Asians have thicker skin w/more elasticity as do Europeans (some) that gives them the 2 steps ahead on better skin too!

But I am all game for beauty treatments
