The Peptide
Umbrella
Peptides are short strings of amino acids which
also happens to be the building blocks
of collagen (a type of protein).
In a nutshell, no peptide = no collagen.
Research has suggested that peptides have a beneficial role in slowing down the ageing process, reducing inflammation and destroying microbes.
