Nutrition Questions

WHIM® NUTRITION

We firmly believe that a good nutritional foundation is key to your appearance.  To look and feel fabulous you have to have harmony between Inner Health & Outer Beauty™. It’s not simply about looking good, it’s about nourishing the body from within. The health and appearance of your skin, hair & nails are a direct reflection of what’s going on inside the body. Deficiencies in certain vitamins, nutrients, proteins, fats, etc. can be visible in not only your appearance but also in your overall health. At Whim we want to encourage a healthy, well rested, stress free, on-the-go lifestyle.  And we will provide the Glam Squad necessary to achieve your goals.

All of the Whim® products are proudly made in the United States of America!

When it comes to nutritional supplements we have to provide the same cautionary statements as everyone else as supplements are not currently evaluated by the FDA.

* These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. Our product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. The nutritional information expressed by Whim™ is not intended as a substitute for medical advice. If you are pregnant or have a medical condition, consult with your physician before use. Individual results may vary.

In addition to the above, our Founder, a 3 time Cancer survivor, recommends you talk to your doctor before taking any kind of supplements to ensure there won’t be any interactions between your medications and the plants, herbs, extracts, etc. found in our supplements.

Yes! Amino acids also play a key role in skin health. Skin cells renew themselves every month, and amino acids are needed in order to regenerate these skin cells and to stimulate collagen production. Amino acids help the skin to slough off the outermost layer of dead skin cells. They also help to repair the skin and stimulate new skin growth. If skin is deficient in amino acids, it is not able to retain water resulting in a thin appearance. The Whim® BOOST Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptide Powder provides you those necessary amino acids.

We always recommend that you check with your Doctor prior to taking any dietary supplements. Your doctor knows you best and should advise accordingly.

BOOST HYDROLYZED COLLAGEN PEPTIDE POWDER

Collagen is the most abundant, naturally occurring protein found in skin, bones, joints, and more. Collagen forms a scaffold to provide strength and structure and is the substance, or “glue’, that holds the body together. Collagen makes up around 75% of our skin giving it the firmness, elasticity, and structural support it needs to appear youthful and vibrant. Once we reach our mid 20’s, we lose approximately 1.5% of our collagen every year. By the time we reach the age of 45, collagen levels will have dropped by as much as 30%. And women can experience a dramatic reduction in collagen synthesis post menopause. As a result, the skin suffers from symptoms like dryness, wrinkles, fine lines, sagging, and an overall lackluster appearance.  Unfortunately, collagen can’t be regenerated naturally!

At Whim we believe that Age is not a Skin Type! And it’s not just age that affects the depletion of collagen, It’s also our lifestyle. Collagen is broken down by excess sun exposure, smoking, diet, stress, and so much more.  And that’s why Whim’s Boost Hydrolyzed Protein Collagen Powder is so necessary no matter what your age.

In a nut-shell, the older you get, the less collagen you make. Throw in all of our lifestyle choices that also cause collagen depletion and it becomes apparent why collagen is so important. Collagen is key to a more youthful appearance, but unfortunately can’t be regenerated naturally.  When collagen begins to deplete, it take a toll on skin, joints, cartilage and more. Collagen protein keeps skin springy and elastic, and it helps keep fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, brittle nails and hair, and joint pain at bay. Cellular renewal also starts to decrease with aging, causing dead skin cells to build up. So collagen is incredibly important for everyone!

The collagen found in Whim® Boost Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptide Powder comes from 4 food sources and supports 5 types of collagen. We use collagen from Grass Fed Cows, Cage Free Chickens, North Atlantic White Fish (non-vegan) and Egg Shell Membrane. Our collagen is also Non-GMO and Gluten Free. And, it’s tasteless, odorless and dissolvable in both hot and cold.

Collagen is often referred to as a “complex protein,” it contains a whopping 19 different amino acids. These amino acids include a mix of both nonessential or conditional amino acids and essential amino acids. Collagen is a fantastic way to get more conditional amino acids, like arginine, glutamine, glycine and proline into your body.

The answer is YES! However, collagen like all other supplements, isn’t something that you take just once and say Ta-Daaaa. It’s something you take daily to achieve results. And, not all types of Collagen supplements are effective. It’s important to choose a supplement powder that contains Collagen Peptides. Collagen molecules are broken down into Collagen Peptides through a process known as hydrolysis. This makes the Collagen highly bioavailable, meaning it’s easier for the body to digest and absorb therefore providing true benefits. With other forms of collagen that are not collagen peptides, they are excreted from the body as waste. We also chose to keep Boost pure and with a purpose. We didn’t throw in a bunch of flavors, colors, and other ingredients. We focused solely on the importance of Collagen.

*These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Yes, there have been a multitude of scientific studies backing up the effectiveness of consumable collagen for improving the appearance of skin.  According to a study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, taking collagen peptide supplements regularly was found to significantly increase skin hydration after 8 weeks, and boost collagen density after just 4 weeks. Another study showed that collagen supplementation improves skin hydration and suppleness, smooths fine lines, and prevents deep wrinkle formation.

No, ALL collagen is not effective and the market-place can get quite confusing. At Whim we decided to go for pure Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptide that you can mix into your favorite hot or cold beverage or soft food. We didn’t add sugar, artificial flavoring, coloring or even other vitamins and minerals. We kept it pure and with a purpose.  We selected Collagen Peptide in a hydrolyzed form to ensure that it’s easily digestible and absorbable into the body. We also made sure to choose a multi-collagen formula that has 4 sources to support 5 collagen types to ensure we covered all of your Collagen needs.

Yes! Collagen protein is also the building block of nails, hair, skin, and even teeth. If you’ve ever had fingernails that split or peel, it may be due to lack of collagen. And you’ve certainly heard of keratin which makes up hair, skin & nails. Well, Collagen serves as a building block of keratin as it’s rich in amino acids, especially proline, which is essential for building keratin. If you’re looking for thicker, stronger, shinier hair and strong nails that don’t crack and split, adding BOOST Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptide Powder to your favorite beverage or soft food is the answer.

We love this question, and the answer is No, No, a thousand times No! It’s just a lackluster marketing pitch created by companies who sell Collagen that only have 2 types. To develop a Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptide Powder with 4 sources to support 5 Collagen types, like we have in Whim BOOST, you need to use multiple sources, and using multiple sources can be very expensive when it comes to formulating & manufacturing. This is why some companies only use a bovine source that contains just 2 types.

A good example is, collagen peptides from eggshell. They are expensive and can be difficult to find. But we include them because they are an incredible source of Type 2 collagen, which is wonderful for joint health and is also backed by many human studies. Many companies don’t formulate with them because of the added cost. Our collagen blend from grass fed cows, cage free chickens and North Atlantic white fish, has you covered.
So, in summary, Whim uses use 5 types of collagen because we know it works best and has scientific substantiation.

As for whether or not more collagen dilutes the formula, let’s look at Type 2 collagen again. In research Type 2 has been shown to improve joint health with as little as 40mg per day. Bovine collagen containing types 1 & 3 collagen requires just 5g per day to be beneficial according to research. Our superior collagen blend from grass fed cows, cage free chickens, egg shell membrane, and North Atlantic white fish, has you covered. Whim uses 5 types of collagen because we know it works best and has scientific substantiation.

You can mix BOOST into your favorite hot or cold drink or soft food. It’s flavorless so your options are limitless like hot tea, coffee, juice, lemonade, and more.

For ease of mixing, we recommend the following: SHAKE, SCOOP, POUR, STIR, ENJOY!

1) Give your BOOST canister a little SHAKE.

2) SCOOP Collagen powder into an empty, glass or cup.

3) POUR your beverage ON TOP of the  collagen powder.

4) STIR, mix or blend thoroughly

5) ENJOY!

You can also add to smoothies, shakes, oatmeal, pudding, pancake batter, soups, sauces and more. It’s flavorless so you’ll never know it’s there.

Here’s the scoop. Collagen is known as a “sticky” protein. The word Collagen is derived from the Greek word “kólla”, which means glue. Collagen is the glue that holds the body together, therefore when collagen is in its natural, not overly-processed state, it must be sticky. So there may be a little clumping when mixing collagen into colder liquids. But, this can be solved by either adding the powder first, then the liquid, or, by using a shaker cup where more vigorous mixing can occur.

We strongly recommend daily usage to experience the best possible results. It’s like dieting, we would all love to diet for just one day and see great results but, unfortunately, we all know that won’t happen.

How soon you see results and how much of a difference you see depends on the condition of your skin, hair & nails.  Environmental factors along with age can also plays a role as collagen production declines over time.  Many people notice softer, fuller, smoother, more radiant skin within 2-4 weeks. While others say they noticed a reduction in fine lines & wrinkles. Some notice an improvement in dry skin and less and less morning pillow creases. (Don’t you just hate those?). How soon and how much of a difference you will see really depends on your dedication to using every day, your lifestyle choices, your age and the condition of your skin, hair and nails. The benefits are definitely worth the wait in any case.

There are zero grams of fat, 0 carbs and 0 sugar by design.

Staying out of the sun is one of the most important things you can do to maintain your skin’s collagen. Which is why daily sunscreen is a must. Check out the Whim SPF 30 Moisture Defense. It’s fabulous! It’s the ultraviolet (UV) radiation that’s known to cause free-radical damage and ultimately lead to the break down of collagen & elastin. Try to eliminate stress and get your beauty sleep. Eat foods rich in amino acids lysine and proline, which are abundant in natural collagen, and include plenty of vitamin C in your diet. It’s wonderful for collagen production.

No, it’s not damaged when heated. Collagen is incredibly convenient. It’s super durable and can be heated with no issues. You can mix BOOST into hot liquids like tea and coffee, you can cook with it by adding to soups, sauces, pancake batter and oatmeal, and you can microwave it without worry of losing any of its nutritional benefits.

NUTRITION

We firmly believe that a good nutritional foundation is key to your appearance.  To look and feel fabulous you have to have harmony between Inner Health & Outer Beauty. It’s not simply about looking good, it’s about nourishing the body from within. The health and appearance of your skin, hair & nails are a direct reflection of what’s going on inside the body. Deficiencies in certain vitamins, nutrients, proteins, fats, etc. can be visible in not only your appearance but also in your overall health. At Whim we want to encourage a healthy, well rested, stress free, on-the-go lifestyle.  And we will provide the Glam Squad necessary to achieve your goals.

Collagen is key to a more youthful appearance, but unfortunately can’t be regenerated naturally.  When collagen begins to deplete, it take a toll on skin, joints, cartilage and more. Collagen protein keeps skin springy and elastic, and it helps keep fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, brittle nails and hair, and joint pain at bay. Cellular renewal also starts to decrease with aging, causing dead skin cells to build up. So collagen is incredibly important for everyone!

The collagen found in Whim’s Boost Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptide Powder comes from 4 food sources and supports 5 types of collagen. We use collagen from Grass Fed Cows, Cage Free Chickens, North Atlantic White Fish (non-vegan) and Egg Shell Membrane. Our collagen is also Non-GMO and Gluten Free. And, it’s tasteless, odorless and dissolvable in both hot and cold.

Collagen is often referred to as a “complex protein,” it contains a whopping 19 different amino acids. These amino acids include a mix of both nonessential or conditional amino acids and essential amino acids. Collagen is a fantastic way to get more conditional amino acids, like arginine, glutamine, glycine and proline into your body.

The answer is YES! However, collagen like all other supplements, isn’t something that you take just once and say Ta-Daaaa. It’s something you take daily to achieve results. And, not all types of Collagen supplements are effective. It’s important to choose a supplement powder that contains Collagen Peptides. Collagen molecules are broken down into Collagen Peptides through a process known as hydrolysis. This makes the Collagen highly bioavailable, meaning it’s easier for the body to digest and absorb therefore providing true benefits. With other forms of collagen that are not collagen peptides, they are excreted from the body as waste. We also chose to keep Boost pure and with a purpose. We didn’t throw in a bunch of flavors, colors, and other ingredients. We focused solely on the importance of Collagen.

Yes, there have been a multitude of scientific studies backing up the effectiveness of consumable collagen for improving the appearance of skin.  According to a study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, taking collagen peptide supplements regularly was found to significantly increase skin hydration after 8 weeks, and boost collagen density after just 4 weeks. Another study showed that collagen supplementation improves skin hydration and suppleness, smooths fine lines, and prevents deep wrinkle formation.

No, ALL collagen is not effective and the market-place can get quite confusing. At Whim we decided to go for pure Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptide that you can mix into your favorite hot or cold beverage or soft food. We didn’t add sugar, artificial flavoring, coloring or even other vitamins and minerals. We kept it pure and with a purpose.  We selected Collagen Peptide in a hydrolyzed form to ensure that it’s easily digestible and absorbable into the body. We also made sure to choose a multi-collagen formula that has 4 sources to support 5 collagen types to ensure we covered all of your Collagen needs.

Yes! Collagen protein is also the building block of nails, hair, skin, and even teeth. If you’ve ever had fingernails that split or peel, it may be due to lack of collagen. And you’ve certainly heard of keratin which makes up hair, skin & nails. Well, Collagen serves as a building block of keratin as it’s rich in amino acids, especially proline, which is essential for building keratin. If you’re looking for thicker, stronger, shinier hair and strong nails that don’t crack and split, adding BOOST Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptide Powder to your favorite beverage or soft food is the answer.

We love this question, and the answer is No, No, a thousand times No! It’s just a lackluster marketing pitch created by companies who sell Collagen that only have 2 types. To develop a Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptide Powder with 4 sources to support 5 Collagen types, like we have in Whim BOOST, you need to use multiple sources, and using multiple sources can be very expensive when it comes to formulating & manufacturing. This is why some companies only use a bovine source that contains just 2 types.

A good example is, collagen peptides from eggshell. They are expensive and can be difficult to find. But we include them because they are an incredible source of Type 2 collagen, which is wonderful for joint health and is also backed by many human studies. Many companies don’t formulate with them because of the added cost. Our collagen blend from grass fed cows, cage free chickens and North Atlantic white fish, has you covered.
So, in summary, Whim uses use 5 types of collagen because we know it works best and has scientific substantiation.

As for whether or not more collagen dilutes the formula, let’s look at Type 2 collagen again. In research Type 2 has been shown to improve joint health with as little as 40mg per day. Bovine collagen containing types 1 & 3 collagen requires just 5g per day to be beneficial according to research. Our superior collagen blend from grass fed cows, cage free chickens, egg shell membrane, and North Atlantic white fish, has you covered. Whim uses 5 types of collagen because we know it works best and has scientific substantiation.

You can mix BOOST into your favorite hot or cold drink or soft food. It’s flavorless so your options are limitless like hot tea, coffee, juice, lemonade, and more.

For ease of mixing, we recommend the following: SHAKE, SCOOP, POUR, STIR, ENJOY!

1) Give your BOOST canister a little SHAKE.

2) SCOOP Collagen powder into an empty, glass or cup.

3) POUR your beverage ON TOP of the  collagen powder.

4) STIR, mix or blend thoroughly

5) ENJOY!

You can also add to smoothies, shakes, oatmeal, pudding, pancake batter, soups, sauces and more. It’s flavorless so you’ll never know it’s there.

Here’s the scoop. Collagen is known as a “sticky” protein. The word Collagen is derived from the Greek word “kólla”, which means glue. Collagen is the glue that holds the body together, therefore when collagen is in its natural, not overly-processed state, it must be sticky. So there may be a little clumping when mixing collagen into colder liquids. But, this can be solved by either adding the powder first, then the liquid, or, by using a shaker cup where more vigorous mixing can occur.

We strongly recommend daily usage to experience the best possible results. It’s like dieting, we would all love to diet for just one day and see great results but, unfortunately, we all know that won’t happen.

How soon you see results and how much of a difference you see depends on the condition of your skin, hair & nails.  Environmental factors along with age can also plays a role as collagen production declines over time.  Many people notice softer, fuller, smoother, more radiant skin within 2-4 weeks. While others say they noticed a reduction in fine lines & wrinkles. Some notice an improvement in dry skin and less and less morning pillow creases. (Don’t you just hate those?). How soon and how much of a difference you will see really depends on your dedication to using every day, your lifestyle choices, your age and the condition of your skin, hair and nails. The benefits are definitely worth the wait in any case.

There are zero grams of fat, 0 carbs and 0 sugar by design.

Staying out of the sun is one of the most important things you can do to maintain your skin’s collagen. Which is why daily sunscreen is a must. Check out the Whim SPF 30 Moisture Defense. It’s fabulous! It’s the ultraviolet (UV) radiation that’s known to cause free-radical damage and ultimately lead to the break down of collagen & elastin. Try to eliminate stress and get your beauty sleep. Eat foods rich in amino acids lysine and proline, which are abundant in natural collagen, and include plenty of vitamin C in your diet. It’s wonderful for collagen production.

No, it’s not damaged when heated. Collagen is incredibly convenient. It’s super durable and can be heated with no issues. You can mix BOOST into hot liquids like tea and coffee, you can cook with it by adding to soups, sauces, pancake batter and oatmeal, and you can microwave it without worry of losing any of its nutritional benefits.
