What are the functions of collagen peptide powder?

Collagen plays a very important role in our lives and has almost become an indispensable beauty substance in modern life. Its beauty effect is very prominent and it is very useful for maintaining the youthful feeling of the body. Therefore, many women who love beauty will insist on using collagen. This substance also has other derivative products. Let’s take a look at the effects of collagen peptide powder.

A large number of domestic and foreign studies have shown that collagen peptides have multiple functions, such as inhibiting the activity of angiotensin-converting enzyme, having antioxidant activity, eliminating free radicals, reducing pain in patients with osteoarthritis such as the knee or hip joints, enhancing bone density, and maintaining bone metabolic balance.

1. The unique structure of collagen peptide can strongly lock in moisture, prevent moisture loss, and keep the skin moist and tender; and it contains a large amount of hydroxyl, which can not only enhance skin brightness, but also has a whitening effect.

2. After collagen peptides enter the skin, they can repair the broken and aged elastic fiber network, restore skin elasticity, and make it flexible and full. In addition, collagen can eliminate free radicals in the body, resist oxidation in multiple ways, and slow down skin aging.

3. The formation of wrinkles and fine wrinkles is related to the natural loss of collagen. After supplementing with collagen peptides, they can directly penetrate into the dermis of the skin, reorganize the skin fiber tissue structure, promote cell metabolism [6], delay cell aging, and relieve fine wrinkles.

4. After collagen peptides are absorbed by the skin, the skin's water retention capacity increases, maintaining the skin's water and oil balance, avoiding excessive oil secretion, long-term clogging, and enlarged pores. German researchers have shown that structural collagen can also inhibit the activity of tyrosinase and reduce the formation of pigmentation and dark spots.

5. Collagen peptides can promote bone formation and enhance the collagen structure under low calcium levels, thereby improving bone strength and achieving the effect of preventing osteoporosis.

6. Collagen peptides also have many other special physiological functions: such as protecting the gastric mucosa[7] and having anti-ulcer and anti-allergic effects.
