The best of both worlds for women: sweets and the promise of eternal youth

For a while now, an original product broke on the market bearing the promise of eternal youth. It doesn’t imply any poking or sticking needles in certain parts of the body, it does not require cutting, bleeding and, of course, recovery time, and it’s very cheap. Even more, it does not even imply any degree of pain – quite on the contrary, it can qualify for one of the most pleasant activities. Enter the Eat Yourself Beautiful Collagen Marshmallows.

“The extra cellular matrix that is found in all connective tissue contains collagen along with other proteins and elastins. Collagen is the main natural protein in the body that makes up the majority of the extra cellular matrix that is found in all connective tissue.” Eat Yourself Beautiful says on the official webpage. From this, one understands one needs collagen to keep the skin looking young, wrinkle-free and beautiful.

In order to get the necessary dose of collagen, one has many options these days, depending on the kind of money one wishes to spend and the amount of pain and suffering to endure. From collagen injections to expensive beauty treatments, the range of choices available is close to never-ending – which only makes this product all the more interesting, to put it mildly. Eat Yourself Beautiful are marshmallows that have the required amount of collagen to keep the skin youthful, the makers claim. What happens to the rest of one's body – the middle area, both front and back, to be more specific – is the consumer’s problem, clearly.

“These marshmallows contain the essential beauty ingredient that helps attain a youthful, toned and wrinkle-free look.” Katie Sayers, Foodmarket and hospitality manager at Harvey Nichols, is quoted as saying on the official website. Basically, what the marshmallows do is nothing short of a miracle, if we’re to believe reports in the British media. As Eat Yourself Beautiful puts it, this miracle would be: “smoothing unwanted wrinkles and lines; reduction in the appearance of cellulite; firmer and evenly toned skin; may help to reduce inflammation of joints in arthritis.”

The Eat Yourself Beautiful Collagen Marshmallows taste like, well, marshmallows, the only difference being that they have a bit more consistency and an intense grapefruit flavor. They are available at Harvey Nichols department stores in the UK and ROI, as well as online, on the aforementioned website.
