Collagen peptides are small, absorbable fragments of protein derived from animal collagen. Unlike native collagen, which is larger and less penetrative, collagen peptides are broken down into shorter chains, allowing them to be more easily absorbed by the skin and body. These peptides play a crucial role in stimulating collagen production, which is essential for maintaining skin structure and elasticity, particularly as we age.
Information
Collagen peptides are small, absorbable fragments of protein derived from animal collagen. Unlike native collagen, which is larger and less penetrative, collagen peptides are broken down into shorter chains, allowing them to be more easily absorbed by the skin and body. These peptides play a crucial role in stimulating collagen production, which is essential for maintaining skin structure and elasticity, particularly as we age.
Where does it come from?
Collagen peptides are produced by hydrolyzing whole collagen proteins found in connective tissues such as skin, cartilage, and bone. This involves breaking down the molecular bonds between collagen strands, making the collagen more bioavailable and easier for the body to absorb.
Our porcine collagen is sourced from Pata Negras, an Iberico breed of pigs that live amongst trees on small family-owned farms and they feed on acorns. Pata Negras are like the Wagyu beef of pigs. One of the best places to source porcine collagen is the EU. This is because of the strict rules that safeguard the welfare of pigs.
Stimulates Collagen Production: They signal the skin to boost natural collagen synthesis, which helps improve skin elasticity and reduce signs of aging like wrinkles and fine lines.
Improves Skin Texture: By supporting the extracellular matrix of the skin, collagen peptides enhance skin firmness and smoothness, particularly in delicate areas such as around the eyes.
Supports Wound Healing: Collagen peptides aid in the healing process by improving skin texture and minimizing the appearance of scars.
Safe and Effective: Hydrolyzed collagen is generally considered safe and effective in permeating the skin, making it a reliable option for topical and oral skincare applications.
How is it used in our products?
Collagen peptides are used in I66Hydroxytyrosol + Collagen The Beauty Fountain from OLIVEDA. Included for its anti-aging and skin rejuvenation properties, our collagen peptides improve skin elasticity and reduce signs of aging, like wrinkles and fine lines. The peptides signal the skin to increase collagen production and support overall skin, bone, and joint health.
