I have taken skin care supplements over the years and wouldn't be without one. The majority of which didn't really seem to make much of difference but I still took them in good faith that hopefully I was going to look so much younger and smoother in ten years than if I hadn't taken them. So I was really excited to trial this and compare them to other brands that have been more expensive or had more ingredients and extracts or perhaps a higher dosage of collagen per capsule. The instructions are to take two a day after meals or with some fats for eight weeks and then reduce to one cap daily. To give a bit of run down on how my skin was at the time I started this trial, I was in the process of a house move. The new house needed lots of repairs and re-modeling, sanding, painting, cleaning etc. My family has always been a fan of DIY especially for these types of things. I also have sensitive eczema prone skin which is prone to flare ups. My skin also gets dry in winter and my nails can split if I don't take proper care of them. My hair can be dry and oily as well, I do a coconut oil masque once a week to care for my hair. Also I normally take extra vitamins and minerals for my nails to help them grow strong but decided to stop taking them for the duration of this trial to test if Rejuvenate independently would make a difference to my nail health like it claimed. Working long hours on house repairs my skin took the brunt not having time to do regular face masques, etc., my hair no time for masques and it needed more washing because of all the debris from sanding and plastering and my nails taking more of hit from chemicals, being used as tools not jewels, not getting enough moisture and going for weeks without a manicure, etc. At first I wasn't sure if this product would make a difference. My nails which were long and strong at the tips started peeling and splitting and I didn't notice much improvement with my skin. I still experienced the same amount of breakouts my skin still was dry after washing my face with just water. Then about one to two weeks ago I noticed that my skin doesn't feel as dry as it normally does during winter and same as my hair. My scalp hasn't been as flakey, despite it being weeks since I put coconut oil in it. More impressively my nail beds weren't as dry and my eczema which had started at the beginning of the move, the flare up was still there but it didn't flare up as much. I have taken multiple brands of collagen tablets but none of those made a difference to my nails, but this one did. Did it stop my long tips from chipping and splitting as a result of neglect and hard work? Nope. But the new nail growth is strong and my nail beds look hydrated. Will I repurchase this? I took my last two caps today and I already ordered three more boxes. I will take two a day for another four weeks and I imagine the results will be even better, especially since this time round I'm going to take their Omega-3 fish oil alongside it.

Tips: The Clinicians website recommends taking their Omega-3 Fish Oil too " to protect against ultraviolet damage and nourish the skin from within." They also recommend taking a regular multivitamin alongside it.
I was very lucky and excited to get a spot on the BR trial team for this product. I am an avid user of supplements, and always in the market to try something new! I have read a lot about Astaxanthin recently – it is lauded as the most powerful natural antioxidant on the planet, so I had already been looking at supplements that contain it.
The supplements come in a white cardboard box with branding on the outside, including a red apple, giving it a healthy feel. The capsules themselves are in tinfoil trays of 10, individually packed. There are 60 capsules to a packet, and the packet costs $59.90.
They’re what I consider normal size for capsules, and have a kind of rubbery feel to them, that makes them easy to swallow. The directions on the box say to take 2 capsules per day for 8 weeks, thereafter reduce to 1 capsule daily. It didn’t say how/when to take them, so I looked on the Clinician’s website, where it said to take them with fats or just before meals. I had intended to stop taking all other supplements while I trialled this one, but after reading the instructions, continued to take fish oil and EPO, and took them all together as recommended. After couple of days, I changed from taking them in the morning to taking them at night, based on the assumption that they will work better while I sleep.
After taking 20 of the tablets (10 days) I fancied I could already see an improvement in my nails – they were just a little harder (they’re usually soft and peel/break easily).
At the end of the box I could definitely notice a difference, particularly in my nails (less soft, shinier, and healthier) and hair (slightly less hair fall, more full and feeling soft and healthy). My skin feels a little plumper and softer, plus less dry. Further to this, I notice I am enjoying a more relaxed sleep most nights, and waking up most days feeling more alert.
I’d like to keep using these and will very likely purchase more. Healthpost have them currently for $36.90 – not to be sneezed at for a very good product.
Tips: Take them with EPO or fish oil supplements as recommended. Take them in the evening (around tea time) to allow them to relax you and work while you sleep.
On receiving the product I was surprised at the simpleness of the white box design but with pretty gold writing. Presentation was not bad at all.
The huge pinkish tablets were blistered packed and easy to carry around or while travelling. They pretty easy to access and although these big tablets are pretty hard to swallow it was not a bad experience after all. As per all vitamins the do have the know after taste and the "marine" smell and taste.
I have been trailing this product for the last few weeks and have found it very beneficial - I have seen a noticeable reduction in some of my wrinkles an definite smoothness in my skin and it look much more hydrated.
I also found that my nails are in a better condition since I have been taking these capsules. I did read some remarks that it might help in reducing dark spots unfortunately I have not been lucky enough to have mine disappear.
I will probably carry on using the product after as I found that my skin has improved quite a lot and fine wrinkles appear to be less.
Tips: Ensure you eat breakfast before taking these and maybe keep some breath mints handy
