Studies conducted for Peptan B thus showed important benefits for relevant skin visual parameters, dermis density and hair strength (figure 5). As such, oral supplementation with collagen peptides impacts skin and hair beauty.
(figure 2), reflecting less damage and reduced loss of the upper layer of the skin. High-definition imaging also showed a substantial decrease in face wrinkles for the group treated with collagen: a 13% reduction of the wrinkles around the eyes (figure 3), while those around the mouth were reduced by 10%. The high-frequency ultrasound revealed an increase in acoustic reflectance in the collagen- supplemented group (figure 4), suggesting that the product improved the dermis density. An increased dermis density can be related to skin wrinkle reduction and firmness increase. The findings support previous studies on how a denser dermis, that is, an increased collagen layer and enhanced fibrillar network, improves the skin structure and integrity. Ageing also affects the hair. Our hair receives the nutrients and proteins we ingest via the bulb region of the hair follicle, localised in the dermis. The loss of collagen can impact the quality of the hair follicle, causing hair fibres to become thinner and therefore less resistant to external impacts. The use of collagen peptides as a dietary supplement or in cosmetics can help the restitution of the hair follicle and subsequently increase the strength of the formed hair. The effect of Peptan B on hair fibres was evaluated through a break stress test. The results showed a significant 13% increase in break force for the collagen-supplemented group. These findings suggest that the oral intake of Peptan B promoted stronger hair, supporting collagen as a
WHAT THE PARTICIPANTS SAID The effectiveness of Peptan B was also surveyed among the participants of the study regarding their perception and thoughts on the product (figure 6). Overall, participants who received Peptan B noticed more hydrated skin compared with those in the placebo group. Those taking collagen also noticed a reduction in skin pore size: 85% of participants who took Peptan B reported fewer large pores.
Regarding wrinkles, while the placebo group
didn’t notice any changes, 75% of participants taking Peptan B reported fewer and less deep wrinkles.
CONCLUSION
The current beauty trend for looking healthy promotes healthier habits and practices to improve our skin’s appearance. These choices are strongly driven by a desire to slow ageing and reduce its signs.

Dietary supplements are developed to support our health and nurture our skin by going to its foundations. In this regard, collagen is highly praised for its effects on skin and hair. Collagen supplements such as 5g/day of Peptan B offer a long term and sustainable approach to combating ageing and improving skin and hair properties. Tackling beauty from within will have you glowing on the outside and on the inside. Disclaimer: use of this information shall be at your own discretion and risk.
