We all want to look and feel young.

Unfortunately, many age-defying treatments come with unwanted side effects.

That’s why collagen has become so popular in recent years. Consumers looking for skin, bone, joint, and brain benefits have turned to collagen creams, powders, and capsules to help them recapture some of their youthful glow and vitality.

But what exactly is collagen and what are its benefits?

Let’s take a closer look…

Collagen Basics

Collagen is a fibrous protein that forms connective tissue and provides structure and support to various parts of the body. It’s produced naturally in the body by breaking down dietary proteins into smaller components called amino acids. These amino acids then combine to form different types of collagen, which serve various purposes in the body.

Having an abundance of healthy collagen helps keep our skin elastic, our nails and bones strong, and our joints well lubricated. Collagen makes up roughly 80 percent of our skin and works in tandem with elastin to help skin maintain its structure and shape.

Unfortunately, we begin losing a small percentage of our body’s collagen each year starting in our 20s. Lifestyle factors – such as exposure to sun and pollution, smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, and regular intake of sugar and refined carbohydrates – may cause collagen to degrade even faster.

What Are Collagen Peptides?

Collagen peptides (also known as hydrolyzed collagen) are small proteins derived from animal collagen and are specifically designed for enhanced absorption and bioavailability. They’re the building blocks of the body’s connective tissues, promoting the health of skin, joints, bones, and more.

These proteins are broken down into shorter chains of two or three amino acids, which allows them to be easily absorbed in the body’s GI tract. Collagen peptides play a vital role in supporting various bodily functions and help maintain brain health.

While our bodies naturally produce collagen and amino acids, it’s essential to obtain some of these nutrients from external sources to help support optimal wellness. Incorporating foods rich in these key amino acids, such as collagen peptides from bone broth, into your diet can help support your skin quality, joint mobility, and cognitive function. Collagen supplementation also may be beneficial in supporting the brain and numerous bodily systems.

That’s why BrainMD is excited to offer its new, advanced brain and beauty formula…
