            Collagen I and III Dietary Supplement
            Collagen M.D.
            7oz $18.95


            Collagen Type I & III together account for 90%
            of the collagen present in the dermis with up to
            60-80% for Collagen Type I and 15-20% for
            Collagen Type III. This collection of fibers is
            responsible for maintaining the structure and
            resistance of tissues and constitutes a dynamic
            network which anchors the skin in the deeper
            layers, thereby creating a support base for the
            skin. In addition to its architectural properties,
            collagen also regulates the activity of fibroblasts,
            playing a role in their migration, proliferation and
            differentiation, and in their adhesion to various
            elements of the extracellular matrix.
            Collagen Type I & III are the main components
            of hair, nails, ligaments, tendons, muscles, gums,
            teeth, bones, blood vessels and eyes.

            In 6oz of water or juice, blend 2 scoops of powder (over 35 years old) or 1 scoop (under 35 years old) or as directed by your physician. Use juice containing Vitamin C or take with a Vitamin C supplement for maximum collagen support.
            For optimal nutritional benefits, take on an empty stomach and wait 20 minutes before eating
            Do not add to milk or other protein dinks/powders as this will decrease the benefits. May be take with other vitamins and minerals.

            Collagen Type I & II …6.6g
Collagen Type I and III protein peptides 
derived from 100% pure bovine collagen.

                    How Much Sugar – Can You Have? Did You Have? Should You Have? How to Calculate it.

                    by

                      How Much Sugar is Too Much?

                      Calculating Refined Sugar Intake In Teaspoons sugar

                      • A healthy adult human being has approximately 5 liters of blood circulating at any given moment.
                      •  In that 5 Liters of Blood a grand total of 1 teaspoon of sugar is available during a fasting state. That’s all the body needs to function.
                      •  In 12-ounces of soda or energy drinks typically contain approximately 10 teaspoons of sugar.
                      •  That little beverage effectively raises the blood sugar 10 times above what the body needs to function and typically within a matter of minutes.

                      To Decode the refined sugar in your diet simply do the following wherever refined sugars are listed in the ingredients.

                      1 Teaspoon of Sugar = Approximately 4 Grams of Sugar

                      In other words take the total grams of refined sugar and divide by 4 to learn how many teaspoons of sugar you are consuming per serving.

                      More About Refined Sugar

                      The Recommended Total Consumption of Refined Sugar & High Fructose Corn Syrup is less than 1 pound per month for Optimal Immune Health. Use the conversions below to assess how much sugar you are consuming each day.

                      • 1 teaspoon of Sugar = 4.2 grams = approximately 4 grams
                      • 453 grams of Sugar = 1 pound of Sugar
                      • 115 teaspoons of Sugar = 1 pound of Sugar
                      • 11 Sodas (132 Ounces) = 2, 2-Liter Bottles of Soda =
                      • 1 pound of Sugar 1 Soda (12 Ounces) = 39 grams of Sugar = Approximately 10 teaspoons of Sugar
                      • 1 Soda (20 Ounces) = 69 grams of Sugar = Approx. 16.5 teaspoons of Sugar
                      • 1 Soda (2 Liters) = 67 ounces of Soda = 221 grams of Sugar = ½ pound of Sugar

                      Drinking 1 Soda (12 Ounces) per day = 30 Sodas per month = 2.65 pounds of Sugar per month from Soda alone = 360 teaspoons of sugar your body will have to use, store or eliminate in order to remain in balance at 1 teaspoon circulating in the blood stream.

                      I would also say that I would not count fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to this total…just refined sugars like white sugar, brown sugar, high fructose corn syrup, dextrose, dextrin, maltodextrin, agave syrup, maple syrup, and evaporated cane juice.

                      The US governments projects that average annual refined sugar consumption alone…not counting any other sweetener will be 74 or more pounds per year for the next 20 years. And we wonder why diabetes is the fastest growing pathology in the United States today.
