What is Collagen?
Collagen is a vital protein that maintains skin elasticity and firmness, supports joint health and strengthens tissues. It makes up about 80% of our skin and nearly one-third of total body protein. However, collagen production begins to decline after our 20s, decreasing by about 1.5% each year. This natural decline leads to common signs of ageing, such as wrinkles and dry skin.
Why Consider Collagen Supplements?
By age 50, our collagen levels can drop by up to 50%, and by age 60, they may decline by as much as 80%. This reduction can result in significant changes to skin smoothness and overall appearance.
Taking a daily collagen supplement can help replenish lost collagen, improving skin hydration, elasticity, and structure.
Benjamin Button's sachets contain 10,000mg of Marine Hydrolysed Collagen rich in Type 1 and 3 collagen. These are the main types that support your skin.
What are the Benefits of Hydrolysed Collagen
Hydrolysed collagen peptides are specially formulated to be smaller, allowing for optimal absorption in your body.
Research has demonstrated that these peptides can effectively navigate the digestive system and enter the bloodstream, targeting areas that experience the greatest collagen deficiency, particularly in the skin and joints.
Further studies reveal that collagen not only enhances skin moisture and elasticity but also encourages your skin to produce its own collagen, further revitalising your appearance.
Incorporating hydrolysed collagen into your routine can significantly support your skin's health and resilience.
What do Collagen Face Masks do?
In addition to supplements, collagen is also available in topical face masks. Our face masks use Sodium Hyaluronate and Trehalose, providing instant hydration and a youthful glow.
This combination of ingestible and topical collagen can work together to nourish your skin from within and enhance its overall health, helping you maintain a radiant complexion as you age.
