Collagen Peptides for Younger Looking Skin - They Work!

Collagen Peptides for Younger Looking Skin - They Work!

Collagen peptides are one of the best things you can utilize for a younger and more youthful appearance. They help skin by improving hydration, elasticity, and reducing wrinkles; while for nails, they strengthen structure, reduce brittleness, and promote faster, healthier growth by supplying amino acid building blocks for keratin and stimulating natural collagen production. They work from within, supporting the skin's dermal layer and providing the components needed for strong keratin in nails, with studies showing benefits within weeks of consistent intake.


How they Work

  • When hydrolyzed (broken down), collagen peptides are small enough to be absorbed into the bloodstream.
  • They travel to the skin and nails, acting as signals to cells to produce more of their own collagen and keratin.
  • Pairing collagen with Vitamin C is crucial, as it's essential for collagen synthesis, enhancing overall results. 


The Big Benefits

 

For Skin

  • Improves Hydration & Firmness: Peptides get absorbed and stimulate fibroblasts to produce more collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, leading to plumper, more moisturized skin.
  • Boosts Elasticity & Reduces Wrinkles: By supporting the skin's structural proteins, they help decrease fine lines, sagging, and roughness, making skin smoother.
  • Strengthens Skin Barrier: They help repair the skin's protective outer layer, guarding against environmental damage.

For Nails

  • Reduces Brittleness: Amino acids in collagen, like glycine, support keratin production, which is the protein that makes up nails.
  • Promotes Growth & Strength: Studies suggest collagen peptides can significantly increase nail growth and reduce breakage, with one study showing a 42% reduction in broken nails.
  • Improves Nail Quality: Users often report stronger, less fragile nails with faster growth. 


Elavonne® Amino Collagen C


A Superior form of Collagen peptide

  • Low molecular weight: These smaller peptides are more readily absorbed by the body than typical collagen.
  • Clinically Proven: Studies show that these peptides are especially effective for supporting skin health.
  • Benefits: Reduce fine line and wrinkles, improve plumpness and elasticity of the skin.


Vitamin C

  • Boosts Collagen: Essential for skin elasticity, it promotes new collagen and protects existing collagen, reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Antioxidant Protection: Neutralizes free radicals from UV rays and pollution, preventing premature aging and skin breakdown.
  • Brightens & Evens Skin Tone: Inhibits melanin production, fading dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and post-acne marks for a radiant complexion.

 

Hyaluronic Acid

  • Deep Hydration: Attracts and locks in moisture (holding up to 1,000 times its weight in water) to keep skin hydrated, fresh, and dewy.
  • Anti-Aging: Its "plumping" effect instantly minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improving skin's elasticity and firmness.
  • Strengthens Skin Barrier: Fortifies the skin's natural protective layer, helping it defend against pollutants and environmental stressors.


Give Amino Collagen a try! You will see the difference with your skin and nails.
