BioCell Collagen: Not all Collagen Type II is created equal. Some formulations contain molecules that are too large to be absorbed. Only hydrolyzed BioCell Collagen II™ can deliver this necessary protein to the body’s resource center and is guaranteed to contain standardized levels of Hydrolyzed Collagen Type II proteins, chondroitin sulfate, and Hyaluronic Acid important for maintaining healthy joint cartilage. And only liquid form (patented by Jusuru International) can deliver it to the cells fast and efficiently.
Most of the BioCell Collagen available in stores comes in tablets. Depending of the potency (100mg - 1500mg) and number of capsules in the bottle the price ranges from $30 to $100 and over. You need to take 3 - 4 capsules daily of 1500mg. One bottle with 100 capsules will suffice for about 1 month at the cost of over $50, but you will miss the benefits of resveratrol and anti-oxidants from the super fruits.
The efficiency (how the body absorbs) of collagen in tablets or as dissolved powder is about 30% while in liquid form it's nearly 80%.
Cost is always a consideration in elective procedures or treatment. The cost for collagen filler treatments may vary based on the expertise and qualifications of the person performing the treatment, time and effort the procedure or treatment requires, as well as the geographic location of the office. In 2009, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons estimated national surgeons' average fees were $480 to $510 for collagen filler treatment. Additional fees may include:
- Surgical facility costs
- Anesthesia fees
- Prescriptions for medication
