Collagen has gained quite some attention in recent years. As the main component of the skin, it is said to improve skin elasticity, firmness, and hydration. Especially the cosmetic sector has adopted this trend. Collagen creams are widely available and advertised to help collagen maintenance in the skin.
However, it is more effective to take collagen as a supplement than to apply it topically. Our skin is produced in layers underneath the skin’s surface. These layers can only be reached by nourishing them from the inside. Hence, we need to eat the nutrients for the skin! This way, we can supply building blocks and nutrients to the skin’s base layer, allowing our body to synthesize healthy, robust, and beautiful skin cells.
One very important building block of the skin is collagen. It forms a framework to hold our skin tight and elastic. Furthermore, collagen is very important in water retention and thus hydration of the skin.
As we get older, we start losing collagen. In fact, the breakdown of collagen starts already in our mid-twenties. Our skin framework starts to break down, wrinkles form, skin starts sagging, and gets dry.
The good news: There is strong scientific evidence that the oral intake of collagen can improve skin hydration, elasticity, and roughness. Especially the bioactive form of collagen called tripeptide collagen is very effective.
Tripeptide collagen is a special unique type of collagen that, thanks to its small size, is directly absorbed by the intestinal tract. This allows the body to process the collagen more quickly compared to regular hydrolyzed collagen peptides while providing faster-targeted results on the skin appearance, hair growth, and nail strength.
Regular collagen peptides are still very beneficial, in fact, it is most sensible to combine collagen peptides and collagen tripeptides to get the maximum benefit for your skin, hair, and nails.
For example, a very recent study from 2021* compared the intake of collagen tripeptide with placebo (placebo means no active ingredient, so no collagen). The study was performed on women aged 40-55. After 12 weeks, the researchers noted a significant increase in skin hydration, aka water retention by the skin. They conclude that “Oral supplementation of CTP [collagen tripeptide] is safe and helpful to the skin appearance, improving wrinkle formation and skin hydration.”
Interestingly, the dose administered to the participants was only 1g of collagen tripeptide per day! Therefore, Collagen tripeptide is a very effective molecule.
Collamin is the only brand in Europe that uses tripeptide in its formulations. The products Derm’Nutrition and Natur’Beauty both contain next to 10g of collagen peptides more than 2g of collagen tripeptide per serving! This is more than double what has been applied in the above-mentioned study.
These Collamin products are especially effective for your inner beauty routine. In particular, Derm’Nutrition focuses on improving skin’s appearance, while Natur’Beauty on skin, hair, and nails support. Whether you like berries or a neutral taste, these products can easily be added to foods of your choice or simply be mixed into any drink to make your everyday routine simple and effective!
