Outer Beauty Begins from Within

Outer Beauty Begins from Within

08 May 2025

Health and beauty are intrinsically connected. Taking care of our inner well-being is reflected in our outer appearance. For this reason, I have incorporated Peptan collagen into my daily routine for years, an essential choice that has been beneficial for both my overall well-being and my skin’s beauty.

What can Peptan collagen peptides do for our Health and Beauty?

From a clinical perspective, scientific studies have observed the following effects of collagen on the skin, hair, and nails, such as:

  • Improved skin elasticity and firmness1: Collagen helped maintaining resilient, radiant, and smooth skin.
  • Hydration2: It helped keep the skin soft and supple by enhancing its ability to retain water, promoting proper hydration.
  • Stronger hair and nails3: Collagen contributed to maintaining healthy hair, increasing strength and shine in both hair and nails.

Why is it so important to care for and protect our skin?

The skin plays a protective role, acting as a barrier against harmful bacteria, infections, and ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. Sun exposure provides significant health benefits, including promoting vitamin D synthesis. However, to ensure the skin effectively performs its protective function, it must be properly cared for both internally (dermis) and externally (epidermis).

Additionally, the skin plays a regulatory function. As a sensory organ, it detects touch, heat, and cold, helping to regulate our body temperature effectively.

Does our body naturally produce Collagen?

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body and is naturally synthesized. However, as we age, both the quantity and quality of collagen decline, leading to reduced hydration, radiance, elasticity, and firmness in the skin, as well as weaker, more fragile hair and nails.
For this reason, incorporating collagen as a nutritional supplement may help maintain the beauty of our skin, hair, and nails from the inside out.

Why choose Peptan collagen peptides?

Peptan’s collagen peptides are easily digestible and absorbed by the body, ensuring high bioavailability and bioactivity. Moreover, the collagen used is the same type that our body naturally produces. Finally, offering a neutral-flavoured collagen powder allows for an easy and convenient way to incorporate a serving into our daily nutrition. It can be added to any hot or cold beverage and used to prepare healthy collagen-enriched recipes.

True Beauty comes from within

Choosing high-quality nutrients, such as Peptan collagen peptides, can enhance not only our appearance but also our overall health. Not all collagens are the same, which is why selecting a superior-quality collagen is crucial, such as Peptan collagen peptides.
