Mindsip insights from this episode:
Harness di- and tripeptides in collagen for skin stimulation
The effectiveness of collagen peptides comes from absorbing di- and tripeptides that stimulate skin cells, not from their 'trash' single amino acid profile.
Use sunscreen regularly to prevent skin aging
A study showed that people who regularly wore sunscreen over 4.5 years experienced no quantifiable progression of skin aging.
Prioritize broad-spectrum sunscreen to combat skin aging
Preventing sun damage with broad-spectrum sunscreen is the most critical step for fighting skin aging, far more important than any supplement.
Stimulate hyaluronic acid production with oral collagen
Studies on fibroblast cells show that collagen peptides can increase the production of hyaluronic acid, a key component for skin health.
Choose low molecular weight hyaluronic acid for effective oral supplementation
For oral supplementation to be effective, you should aim for low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, as high molecular weight versions are less likely to be absorbed.
Understand astaxanthin's limits: no wrinkle reduction benefits
A meta-analysis shows that while astaxanthin improves skin elasticity and moisture, it does not show a benefit against wrinkles.
