Drink could reduce the signs of aging
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Makers of Borba, a drink sold online, claim that the drink reduces blemishes and pore size and brightens skin.
Borba is advertised as a product that reduces wrinkles and fine lines -- something Wendy Zanarotti definitely wanted to treat.
Dr. Oanh Lauring, a dermatologist at Baltimore's Mercy Medical Center, shared her skepticism over Borba's claims, especially of the claim of noticeable, quick results.
"I think, once the damage has been done, there's a certain amount of damage you can't undo," Lauring said.
Despite compliments about her skin, Karen Foster said she'll probably forego the $2.50 drinks.
Lauring said Borba's listed ingredients -- vitamins C and E -- as well as antioxidants such as green tea, have been proved to help aging skin.
Zanarotti and Karen Foster, another woman seeking wrinkle treatment, drank Borba each day for 28 days, which is the manufacturer's recommended time period for the best results.
After the 28-day test, Foster said she had received compliments about her skin.
"The biggest thing, change, was in my nails.
Zanarotti said her forehead and neck have improved with the help of the age-defying Borba.
Wendy Zanarotti likes Borba and said she would keep drinking it as long as the benefits continue.
Zanarotti said she plans to continue using the product.
"I'm a single mom, so it'd be great to have the access to a product where you don't have to go to the doctor and get any procedures done," she said.
Although some might cringe at the price tag -- $2.50 a bottle -- Zanarotti thinks it's worth the cost.
"Hey, if it takes care of the wrinkles, yes, definitely" it's worth it, she said.
Foster said that although she did like some of the changes in her appearance, she thinks increasing her fluids would do the same thing -- and cost less.
