Japanese try new products to stay young

The Japanese have always had some strange shopping habits, well they would appear to be strange to us, and to them they are perfectly normal. However, sometimes they get into something that promises to promote not only beauty, but health too.

There a growing number of what are being called Beauty Restaurants, this is where these customers can go and have a nice portion of collagen, which has been slowly melted into a broth type dish and served with vegetables, meat or fish.

Collagen is always being sold in stores too; the supermarket shelves are being filled with collagen rich products such as supplements, sweets and even noodles.

These products are supposed to promote anti aging, but experts claim that this product has no more health benefit, than any other protein rich food.
