Well before we get to that question. let me just begin with the more complex and more familiar.....collagen. Now I'm sure you've all heard something about collagen, especially those of us concerned with aging skin. Collagen is a protein that makes up our connective tissue which includes our skin and bones. Because collagen is in a complex form, it cannot be readily digestible. Cue in the collagen peptides.
Collagen peptides are the result of collagen being broken down into amino acids, which, are simpler forms of protein. And you guessed it, can be digested and absorbed through the bloodstream.
There are quite a few companies that are out on the market. After reading through the ingredients and company information I settled on Physicians Choice. They have quality products with no added fillers. I add a scoop in my coffee every morning. It can also be added to smoothies, juice or your beverage of choice.
So now lets get back to the original question. What are the benefits of collagen peptides? Well for one thing, it improves the look and feel of your skin. Our body is constantly renewing collagen but as we age the renewal decreases. By taking supplements of peptides we increase the collagen in the skin which in turn helps reduce the look of wrinkles, increases skin elasticity and even reduces the appearance of cellulite. Now who doesn't want that?
As I said earlier, collagen is in our connective tissue as well as our bones. Taking a peptide supplement may help ease pain from swollen joints, reduce inflammation and help keep our bones strong to help us ladies with osteoporosis.
Adverse effects of taking collagen peptides? None.
Now grab a container of collagen peptides, add it to your favorite drink and enjoy the benefits!
