What is collagen?
Collagen peptides are the building blocks of the connective tissue and tendons within the body, and is the main structural protein found in your skin.
Collagen keeps your skin healthy, smooth, hydrated and youthful in appearance. But it isn’t just good for your skin. Collagen is especially beneficial for anyone looking to protect their body as they age or for athletes looking for musculoskeletal support to prevent injury.
Okay, so what is Hydrolysed Collagen?
Also known as collagen peptides or collagen protein powder, hydrolysed collagen is an extremely pure protein source with many additional benefits for your health and general wellbeing. It’s a health supplement you can take for many reasons.
Here are some of the key benefits of a collagen supplement:
- Over 90% pure protein
- Additional health benefits you won’t get from a whey protein
- Joint health support
- Completely dairy-free
- Easy on the digestive system
- Not heavy and creamy like a whey
The secret to glowing skin
Researchers have found collagen isn’t only a great source of protein but is fantastic for promoting healthy skin too!
How can hydrolysed collagen benefit your skin? Here’s how:
- Improves skin elasticity
- Smooths out wrinkles
- Boosts skin moisture and hydration
- Reduces skin cracking
- Builds up fibroblast density (a key sign of healthy, ‘elastic’ skin)
Collagen may also improve nail growth and reduce the likeliness of brittle nails, double win!
