Finally, I found some aloe juice at the Asian Market
which has collagen written on the label too.

"Through observation and further tests, scientists have proven that the healing effects of Aloe extend beyond merely soothing sunburn."
Japanese women drink collagen, or Toki, for its youthful rejuvenating properties. They believe that collagen is an anti-aging product.
But will ingesting it really help? The secret lies in your body producing it. Though it is proposed to aid in the repair of collagen and elasin, I don't know the answer to this question, but I know those Japanese women sure do look great on into their old age. They can't be doing everything wrong. The Asians eat a much better diet than we Westerners but well, we have to start somewhere, don't we?
