Mother said, to be a delicate piggy boy, hair beauty and skin care is a big job, want to know how to keep a good face, come with me!
Introduction to lecithin
Lecithin, also known as lecithin, is known as the "third nutrient" alongside protein and vitamins. The main function of pet lecithin products is to improve skin immunity and skin care.
Many natural foods, such as egg yolk, are rich in lecithin, which is also found in milk, animal brain, bone marrow, heart, lung, liver, soybean and yeast.
There is a lot of controversy about whether the lecithin products sold on the market really have the effect of beautifying hair. Many people think that eating lecithin products is better than eating egg yolk, because egg yolk is a natural food rich in lecithin. Compared with lecithin products, the ingredients are safer and the cost is lower.
Dandan believes that the above controversy just shows that the positive effect of lecithin itself on hair is widely recognized, and some consumers who lack trust in lecithin products sold on the market mainly question the ingredients of the products and do not recognize the pricing of the products.
So, let's take a look at Z-pet collagen peptide donkey-hide gelatin lecithin for dogs!
Product introduction

█ Applicable object: dog

Z-PET brand
Z-pet, a brand I have never seen before, will not want to try it according to my habit of pursuing brand awareness. However, the two eye-catching slogans of "removing tear stains" and "brightening hair and moisturizing skin" made me immediately decide to choose him. After all, Dandan has been troubled by tear stains recently, and has experienced skin allergies. Skin health needs to be cared for, and beauty needs to be saved.
According to the product details page, the Z-pet brand belongs to the American Pavilion, and it is easy to think that it is an American product, but in fact it is not.
█ It is worth noting that the Z-pet brand belongs to American Annabe Co., Ltd., which belongs to a Sino-foreign joint venture pharmaceutical enterprise located in Zhongshan City, but the manufacturer of Z-pet products is an agricultural and animal husbandry company in Beijing, and the origin is China.
The brand controller could not help but check the trademark registration of Z-pet, and found that it is indeed a relatively young emerging brand. There is not much word-of-mouth information about its brand and products on the Internet, and no real user experience information can be collected for reference.
Packing details
█ After opening the lid, you can see the tinfoil seal, and the sealing is nice.
Tear open the seal and see the vacuum-packed lecithin and silica gel desiccant, which is also a good feeling.
The humanized design is everywhere, and the vacuum packaging bag has tear openings at both ends, so it is easy to open without the help of tools.
The granules of the product are in the shape of a regular love heart. Eating a piece of lecithin is in the shape of love me. There is fine powder on the surface of the granules, which feels slightly wet and sticky.
Composition analysis
To understand the product, you have to look at the ingredient list. Let's analyze it together!
The first ingredient is donkey-hide gelatin, which nourishes the blood; the second ingredient is lecithin, which protects the vitality of the skin and beautifies and protects the hair; and then wheat germ oil, which is rich in vitamin E. It looks good, but if you study the details page and the product packaging carefully, you will find many things that are difficult to understand.
Question: It is difficult to link the ingredients of the product with the publicity.
① "High-purity lecithin" does not indicate whether it is egg yolk lecithin or soybean lecithin, and there is no relevant information on the product packaging box and paper shell, but it is egg yolk lecithin on the product details page of the mall, which is not in line with common sense.
② "Collagen peptide" is the first word of the product name. According to the product outer package, Z-pet pet collagen is extracted from tilapia, but neither "tilapia" nor "procollagen" or "collagen peptide" is included in the ingredient list. The fish in the ingredient list is only tuna extract, which is at the end.
Understand here, really want to say that the product introduction is too imprecise, want to say that love it is not easy ah, and then look at the dog son's experience!
Tasting experience
It is said that health care products should not be chosen easily, the experience period is short, it is difficult to produce results, it is absolutely true, Xu Dandan tried to eat for nearly a month, the efficacy of product publicity is not particularly obvious.
Happily, the dog egg is particularly recognized for the taste of Z-pet lecithin, eager to eat it.
Delicious enough to be out of shape? That's probably what it looks like.
Experience effect analysis:
█ Original intention: Choose this lecithin, the initial reason is also Xu Dandan skin allergy some time ago, in order to apply the medicine I also shaved him bald, and every day the eyes secretion too much, resulting in tears, feet and chin red discoloration due to bacterial infection, in short, the skin is not good, the face value has declined.
█ Effect:
① Visible effect: The skin at the allergic scab returns to normal; the shaved hair grows out; the secretion of eye droppings is improved; the tear stains are controlled to a certain extent. (Note: When Z-pet lecithin is taken, anti-allergic drugs and B vitamins are taken at the same time. The above effects can not be determined from lecithin.)
(The above is the contrast of skin changes. Forgive the egg black, but the tear stain can not be photographed.)
② Other conditions: the tear stain was only inhibited, and the effect of "removing tear stain" advertised by the product did not appear in the experience period; the effect of "brightening hair and moisturizing skin" did not appear in the experience period; the part of hair dyed red due to bacterial infection did not change.
Experience summary
Overall, the Z-pet lecithin, which sells for 158 yuan, caught my eye in the early stage of product publicity and packaging design, but the product itself introduced the relevant information is not rigorous, so that my trust in this young brand has been reduced, the contradiction is that the eggs in the experience process are more like, in a short period of one month. But there are a lot of surprises.
Back to the original point, the hair-beautifying effect of lecithin may not be obvious in the short term, but it certainly exists in the long term, but is it necessary to buy pet lecithin products? Dandan would like to say that egg yolk is undoubtedly a good natural hair food, but if you are lazy like my mother, you might as well buy ready-made lecithin products, after all, convenient.
When choosing lecithin for pets, brand, raw materials and market reputation are all important bases for choosing and purchasing. Two suggestions are put forward: ① prefer egg yolk lecithin; ② avoid cereals as far as possible. Finally, I hope you all have the same beauty as me!
