Collagen-Fix Shake
- "No-brainer" 
for maintaining or restoring physical / mental health
A delicious way to build collagen
The “No-brainers” for physical and mental health include:
- The “O3 Fix” Recipes: “O3 Fix” Fruit Smoothie or Creamy Nuts ‘n’ Berries (and after fixing an initial O3 deficiency, you can also choose Oats ‘n’ Flax porridge or Flax ‘n’ Fruit Crepe, which provide an O3 maintenance dose with just flaxseed, and no added flax oil)
- The “Collagen Fix” Shake
Which require important supporting nutrients (listed at bottom of page):

How to make Collagen-Fix Shake (for one person)
Make and drink this shake TWICE / day
At least 2 hours away from having the “O3 Fix” Fruit Smoothie or other “O3 Fix” recipe (to prevent interference with omega-3 therapy), the preventative maintenance dose of the Rath-Pauling therapy for building collagen (vitamin C, and the amino acids lysine and proline) is consumed in two shakes at separated times (e.g. morning and evening). Plus – the “No-brainer” Iodine dose is added to just one of the daily shakes.
Lysine has a taste which some may find unpleasant, to turn this around, this recipe has some additions that actually make it delightful – honest! 🙂
In a container blender – add, blend:
- A little fresh or frozen soft fruit (guava, kiwi, strawberries, raspberries, mango, blueberries, etc. )
- ¼ banana
- ~10 oz. water and ice
- 7/8 tsp. Lysine powder E.g. Amazon
- 1/3 tsp. vitamin C powder E.g. Amazon
- ¼ C organic whole milk and/or 3 Tbsp organic whey protein ¤
- 1 Tbsp. organic, raw honey (optional)
- ¼ tsp. pure vanilla essence (optional – anti-inflammatory)
Add to drink ONLY ONCE / day:
- 2 drops 2% Lugol’s iodine (provides maintenance dose of ~3 mg iodine + iodide / person. Lugols’ page explains how to start with a higher dose to deal with a likely deficiency)
Serve in large glass and immediately enjoy
¤ Whey protein powder specifics – COLD-PROCESSED (can be low-heat pasteurized) from RAW, ORGANIC (at least Non-GMO) GRASS-fed cows’ milk. Unsweetened, and NOT protein ISOLATES (missing nutrients) or acid-processed. Recommended without affiliation: “Raw Grass Fed Whey”, sold on Amazon. Current link (it’s not cheap).
Note: it’s easy to forget taking the second drink so you will need to make yourself some kind of reminder

- A small bar of chocolate – magnesium (E.g. 4.25 oz Milk Chocolate bar w/ almonds provides 102mg magnesium).
- Zinc – 8 mg (W) or 11 mg (M). Prefer zinc citrate, chelate, acetate, mono-methionine or gluconate (for omega-3 conversion enzymes)

Heads-up!
This is a deceptively powerful therapy that will go to work on you right from the start. Be prepared for some detox symptoms, called the Herxheimer Reaction. These can be experienced as feeling tired, a slight fever, headache, diarrhea, pain in joints, muscles bones, nausea, rashes and more. May last several days or even weeks, but stay with it and you’ll be a new person!
