Honestly? You will probably find Collagen Peptides in both places!
But one place you won’t find it is in pills.
For instance, chicken soup is proven to help with colds and it tastes great, especially in the middle of winter. But when it comes to pills, it is highly unlikely that the small amount of collagen peptides in a pill (750 mg) will ever reach your skin. Just have the soup instead; depending how you make it, it can contain up to about 10g of amino acids.
What Do We Know About Collagen?
Collagen is a protein made by many animals, including us.
Proteins are formed when amino acids are joined into long chains. The bond between amino acid residues is made by losing water. The water is removed by complex enzymatic reactions, which is also how the water can be restored.
Long chains of proteins will be broken into small pieces and amino acids. This is what we do when we hydrolyze collagen; see, hydro, the word for water is right there! Otherwise it would be insoluble and would be useless on our skin.
So, sometimes you’ll hear people say something like “collagen is too big to enter the skin”, and they are right: collagen is insoluble, it would not go anywhere. But the broken pieces can enter the skin and they do.
Skin Actives line which is presented by Purple Beauty uses collagen peptides resulting from the hydrolysis of fish collagen.
Just don’t forget that there is a lot more than collagen in your skin. In fact, our Advanced Ageless Collagen Serum works on the rest of the skin macromolecules as well, but calling it “Collagen Serum” is shorter than saying “serum that preserves the integrity and health of your skin by supplying epidermal growth factor plus every ingredient known to help with protein integrity in the skin”.
