As we all know, collagen is a good thing in beauty beauty, so do you know what collagen tripeptide is? The following small series will tell you what a collagen tripeptide drink is.
0 1
Collagen tripeptide (CTP) is the smallest structural unit of collagen prepared from pig skin and fish skin by advanced bioengineering technology. It is a tripeptide containing glycine, proline (or hydroxyproline) and one other amino acid. Simply put, collagen tripeptide is actually using advanced bioengineering technology to intercept the small molecular structure of collagen macromolecules that are useful to the skin.

Its structure can be simply expressed as Gly-x-y x-y, and its average molecular weight is 280 Daltons. Because the molecular weight of collagen tripeptide is very small, it can be fully absorbed by human body. At the same time, collagen tripeptide can also penetrate into the cells of stratum corneum, dermis and hair roots very effectively. Everyone who loves beauty knows that such foods as pig's trotters and chicken's feet are rich in collagen, so eating more can lead to beauty beauty, but this is not the case. Practice has proved that collagen in pig's trotters and chicken's feet has a large molecular weight and is extremely difficult to be absorbed by human body. The collagen that skin really needs is actually a kind of collagen composed of three amino acid molecules, namely "collagen tripeptide".

Function of collagen tripeptide
Moisturizing: Collagen tripeptide contains hydrophilic natural moisturizing factor, and the stable triple helix structure can strongly lock moisture and keep skin moist and tender at all times! Kelemei collagen and collagen peptide have moisturizing effect. Because CTP contains both small molecular weight and large molecular weight, it not only has the same skin care effect, but also is more stable and obvious. The water content of stratum corneum was characterized by measuring the conductivity value with impedance meter. The results show that CTP can not only keep water, but also increase its water content and play a role in moisturizing.
Nourishing: Collagen tripeptide is more permeable to skin than collagen. It can combine with skin epithelial cells through stratum corneum, participate in and improve the metabolism of skin cells, strengthen the activity of collagen in skin, maintain the integrity of moisture and fiber structure of stratum corneum, improve the living environment of skin cells, promote the metabolism of skin tissues, enhance blood circulation and achieve the purpose of moisturizing skin.
Brighten the skin: the luster of the skin depends on the water content, and the good water-retaining ability of collagen tripeptide makes the skin moist and shiny, giving off a healthy luster.
Firming skin: Collagen tripeptide is absorbed by the skin and filled between the dermis layers of the skin, which increases skin firmness, produces skin tension, shrinks pores and makes the skin firm and elastic!
Anti-wrinkle: the dermis contains a plump collagen layer. Supplementing collagen tripeptide can support skin cells more effectively, and combine the functions of moisturizing and restraining wrinkles to stretch thick lines and fade fine lines!
Repair: Collagen tripeptide can directly penetrate into the bottom layer of skin and has good affinity with surrounding tissues, which can help cells to make collagen and promote the normal growth of skin cells.
Nutrition: Collagen tripeptide has strong permeability to skin, can combine with skin epithelial cells through stratum corneum, participate in and improve the metabolism of skin cells, and enhance the activity of collagen in skin. It can maintain the integrity of moisture and fiber structure of stratum corneum, improve the living environment of skin cells, promote the metabolism of skin tissues, enhance blood circulation, and achieve the purpose of moisturizing skin.
Breast enhancement: The unique hydroxyproline in collagen tripeptide has the function of tightening connective tissue, which can make loose tissue firm, support drooping breast and make breast tall, plump and elastic.

Comparison between Collagen Tripeptide and Common Collagen Peptide
Collagen in the human body is lost every day, so it needs to be supplemented with proper amount of collagen to keep the skin young. Macromolecular collagen (composed of 100 to 1000 amino acids) or polypeptide must be decomposed into a single amino acid before absorption, and then collagen needed by different parts such as bones, blood vessels and tendons is randomly synthesized-"divided" into skin. Only a few of them, even if they are "supplemented" for a long time, are not easy to have a "cosmetic" effect on the skin. What the skin needs is actually a "collagen tripeptide" composed of three amino acids. This form of collagen is faster and easier to absorb than ordinary collagen, and can be directly used to synthesize fresh collagen. However, it is difficult for digestive enzymes in human body to decompose general collagen into "collagen tripeptide". The acquisition of high-purity collagen tripeptide effectively improves the synthesis ability of new collagen in skin and greatly improves the "skin beauty efficiency". Collagen tripeptide and collagen peptide have the functions of moisturizing and beautifying skin. Because collagen tripeptide contains both components with low molecular weight and components with high molecular weight, it not only has the same skin care function as ordinary collagen peptide, but also is more stable, effective and obvious.
