What are the characteristics and functions of collagen peptides?
Introduction to collagen peptides
All the material forms of life in nature can be said to be composed of proteins. Birds flying in the sky, fish swimming in the water, and various animals running on the ground, such as cattle, sheep, horses, rabbits, and insects are all composed of protein.
Skin, muscles, bones, and internal organs are also made of protein. Protein is the core substance of life and participates in all life activities. Without protein, there would be no life. All living things, from the simplest viruses to the most advanced humans, have ever-changing proteins with the same composition of more than 20 kinds of amino acids. These 20 kinds of amino acids constitute a diverse world of proteins. One
Amino Acid is linked to another by a peptide bond, and the resulting compound is called a peptide. Peptides containing less than 10 amino acids are called oligopeptides and more than 10 are called polypeptides. One or several polypeptide chains make up a protein. A protein molecule usually contains more than 50 amino acids.
Collagen peptides can more effectively penetrate into the stratum corneum and dermis, extending the life of skin cells, inhibiting cell membrane lipid peroxidation, resisting oxidative free radical attacks on DNA, inhibiting tyrosine activity, improving skin immunity, and improving skin health. It has many functions such as water retention capacity, promoting collagen synthesis and hyaluronic acid synthesis in dermal cells.
Collagen peptide characteristics
Collagen is a large molecule and is not easily absorbed by the skin. Collagen is insoluble, but when collagen is hydrolyzed under the action of acid, alkali, heat, and enzymes, collagen hydrolysates (peptides) will be produced. They have very similar amino acid composition and content. Due to the disintegration of macromolecules and the reduction of molecular weight, Their solubility increases and they are soluble in cold water. It is precisely because of the substantial reduction in molecular weight and the sharp increase in water solubility that the hydrolyzate is easily absorbed and utilized by human skin. Compared with macromolecular collagen, hydrolyzate is a more ideal supplement source of collagen. The human body absorbs collagen hydrolyzate, supplements and repairs abnormal collagen, allowing it to function normally, and replenishes and repairs abnormal collagen, allowing it to function closer to normal. , the human body then restores the abnormal collagen, allowing it to function normally, and the human body returns to health. These collagen hydrolysates have a special name, which is collagen peptides. The absorption of collagen peptides is the key to improving skin elasticity and eliminating wrinkles. After collagen peptides are fully absorbed and utilized by the human body, they will synthesize skin collagen and play a certain role in beauty. Collagen peptides are very hydrophilic and can provide many whitening, moisturizing, and nourishing effects for the skin, thereby improving skin quality. , beauty purposes.
Due to the characteristics of collagen peptides, the skin treated with collagen peptides can be improved and nourished for a long time, and can maintain the best effect for 5-10 years. Aminogen peptides can be absorbed by the human body's active eyes without any hindrance, without digestion, and supply body tissues. Take full advantage. Moreover, the average molecular weight of marine collagen peptides is smaller, even consisting of only 2-4 amino acids, which is much smaller than ordinary peptides.
Collagen peptide efficacy
1. Moisturizing: Collagen peptides contain hydrophilic natural moisturizing factors, which directly form collagen after entering the body, and keep the skin moist and supple at all times.
2. Nutrition: Collagen peptides have strong permeability to the skin and can combine with skin epithelial cells through the stratum corneum, participate in and improve the metabolism of skin cells, and enhance the collagen activity in the skin. It can maintain the integrity of the moisture and fiber structure of the stratum corneum, improve the living environment of skin cells, promote the metabolism of skin tissue, enhance blood circulation, and achieve the purpose of moisturizing the skin.
3. Skin brightening: The luster of the skin depends on the water content. The good water retention capacity of collagen makes the skin moist and shiny, exuding a healthy brilliance.
4. Skin tightening: When collagen peptides are absorbed by the skin, they are filled between the dermis of the skin, increasing skin tightness, generating skin tension, shrinking pores, and making the skin tight and elastic.
5. Anti-wrinkle: The plump collagen layer in the dermis supports skin cells, combines the functions of moisturizing and inhibiting wrinkles, and jointly achieves the effect of stretching coarse lines and diluting fine lines.
6. Repair: Collagen peptides can directly penetrate into the bottom layer of the skin and have good affinity with surrounding tissues. They can help cells produce collagen and promote the normal growth of skin cells. It also has anti-inflammatory and skin renewing propertieseffect.
