Collagen Peptides
Also known as: Hydrolysed collagen, Collagen hydrolysate
Real collagen peptides that actually get absorbed and do the work. The building block for bouncy, elastic skin and healthy joints.
What it is
Collagen peptides are collagen protein that has been broken down (hydrolysed) into smaller fragments, making it easier for your body to absorb than whole collagen protein.
Why we use it
Collagen is the main structural protein in skin, so we include hydrolysed peptides in Beauty Gummies to support the skin's own collagen-building process from within, alongside vitamin C which collagen production depends on.
What the research generally suggests
A number of human studies suggest that consistent daily collagen peptide supplementation, generally over 8-12 weeks, may support skin elasticity and hydration; research quality and funding sources vary across this field, so results are best read as encouraging rather than conclusive.
Typical amounts
Studies showing skin-related benefits have commonly used daily doses of around 2.5-10g of hydrolysed collagen peptides, taken consistently over 8 weeks or more.
In Flexies products: 200mg per serving.
