Mindsip insights from this episode:

Reduce wrinkles by up to 31% with collagen peptide supplements

One study found that after 90 days, collagen peptide supplements reduced wrinkles in the forehead and around the mouth and eyes by 14% to 31%.

Incorporate 12.5 grams of collagen peptides in your supplement routine

The speaker has included 12.5 grams of collagen peptides in their own all-in-one supplement product called MicroBtamin plus powder.

Incorporate 2.5-15 grams of collagen peptides for visible effects

The effective daily dose for collagen peptides shown in studies ranges from 2.5 to 15 grams, with visible effects appearing over weeks to months.

Focus on collagen peptide effectiveness, not type

Since collagen is broken down into shorter peptides for supplements, the original type of collagen (e.g., Type 1 or 3) does not appear to matter for its effectiveness.

Choose collagen peptides for superior wound healing

In a study on burn patients, a group taking collagen peptides had significantly higher wound healing rates than a group taking a matching amount of regular protein.

Stimulate collagen production and protect existing skin elasticity with peptides

Collagen peptides not only stimulate new collagen production but also help block the breakdown of existing collagen and elastin in the skin.

Utilize collagen peptides to stimulate skin regeneration

Ingested collagen peptides travel to the skin and signal fibroblast cells to produce more collagen and elastin, rather than just acting as building blocks.
