Modern wellness is evolving.

Beauty is no longer viewed as:

• surface-level skincare
  or
• isolated cosmetic treatments.

Today, beauty is increasingly understood as:
👉 a reflection of whole-body health.

Skin quality, mobility, recovery, sleep, gut health, connective tissue integrity and healthy aging are deeply interconnected.

This is where:

What Is Peptan® B?

Peptan® is a highly researched form of: hydrolysed bioactive collagen peptides which is why we only choose the best ingredients backed by science: BC Beauty Healthy Glow with Peptan®

Hydrolysed collagen peptides are broken down into smaller peptides designed for:

• high bioavailability
• rapid absorption
• functional use within the body.

Collagen itself is the body’s most abundant protein and is a major structural component of:

• skin
• joints
• tendons
• ligaments
• bones
• fascia
• connective tissue.

As we age, collagen production naturally declines.

This contributes to:

• wrinkles
• reduced skin elasticity
• connective tissue weakening
• reduced mobility
• slower recovery.

Beauty From Within: The Collagen Connection

Our collagen peptides has science backed research linked to:

• skin hydration
• skin elasticity
• wrinkle visibility
• skin density
• skin radiance.

Collagen production declines from our mid-20s onward and aging skin becomes thinner, drier and less elastic but collagen peptides may help support firmer, healthier-looking skin.

Skin Hydration & Elasticity

Skin elasticity is one of the most important markers of healthy-looking skin.

As collagen declines:

• elasticity decreases
• wrinkles become more visible
• skin structure weakens.

Research highlighted in the Peptan®  studies demonstrated improvements in:

• skin density +8% fimprovement ollowing 12 week study with a 10g dose (2 teaspoons of BC Beauty Healthy Glow with Peptan®)
• hydration +14% improvement following a 4 week study with 5 g dose ( 1 teaspoon of BC Beauty Healthy Glow with Peptan®)
• improved elasticity +7% improvement following a 4 week study with a 5g dose ( 1 teaspoon of BC Beauty Healthy Glow with Peptan®)

Collagen Is More Than Skin Deep

Many people think collagen is only about:
👉 beauty.

But collagen is actually fundamental to:

• connective tissue
• fascia
• tendons
• ligaments
• cartilage
• bones
• joints.

This is especially important for:

• active lifestyles
• aging adults
• post-menopausal women
• recovery-focused wellness.

Recovery, Performance & Connective Tissue Support

Collagen is one of the body’s most important structural proteins,

present in:

• skin
• muscles
• bones
• joints
• tendons
• ligaments.

Intense exercise can stress connective tissue and recovery systems.

Peptan® research confirms that supplementation with BC Beauty Healthy Glow with Peptan® is associated with:

• reduced muscle soreness
• improved recovery
• retained muscle power after exercise.

This is why our collagen peptides are increasingly used in:

• sports nutrition
• recovery protocols
• active aging strategies.

It may reduce muscle soreness after intense exercise, as shown in a scientific, randomized, and controlled study [5]. Where 24 healthy, recreationally active males took a daily dose of 2x10 g Peptan or placebo, together with a drink rich in Vitamin C from 7 days before to 2 days after performing 150 drop jumps. 48 hours after exercise, participants were asked to rate their muscle soreness on a visual analog scale from 0 (no pain) to 200 mm (unbearable pain).  Volunteers who took Peptan scored their muscle soreness at 90.42 while the placebo group rated their soreness at 125.67, indicating that Peptan has a likely beneficial effect on muscle soreness 48 hours after exercise. Less muscle pain, great! But there’s more. This same study also suggests accelerated muscle recovery during daily intake, while in the control group muscle power decreased to approximately 80% 48h after the training, the Peptan group retained approximately 90% of their muscle power, indicating a faster recovery and showing a significant beneficial effect of Peptan compared to placebo.

Mobility, Joints, Bone Health & Healthy Aging

Mobility is deeply connected to quality of life.

Collagen is a major component of:

• joints
• cartilage
• connective tissue,

helping provide:

• strength
• flexibility
• cushioning.

Over time:

• cartilage quality declines
• collagen synthesis decreases
• stiffness and discomfort may increase.

Research showed supplementation with Peptan® was associated with:

• reduced joint discomfort
• improved joint function
• improved mobility scores.
• Healthy Bones

BC Beauty Healthy Glow with Peptan®

 

Over time, the balance between synthesis and breakdown of cartilage gets disturbed. This can lead to joint pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. In a scientific, randomized, placebo-controlled study [10], elderly women with mild joint discomfort reported a significant reduction of painful symptoms, like stiffness and pain, after oral intake of Peptan (8 g/day) (Figure 6). These positive effects also improved their mobility and joint function within three months (Figure 7).

Looking after our bones is key to enjoying an active life whether you are 25 or 75. Bones are living tissues that are constantly renewed in a carefully balanced process of synthesis and breakdown. Peptan stimulates bone formation cells more than casein. A study performed in mice bone cells shows that the potential for Peptan used in BC Beauty Healthy Glow to improve bone health (balance between cell formation and breakdown) is the result of its collagen peptide composition rather than mere proteins [11]. These in vitro experiments demonstrate that the digested and absorbed collagen peptides stimulate the formation of cells responsible for bone synthesis (Figure 8A) more than casein (milk protein), while simultaneously inhibiting the formation of cells that break down bones. More than just another protein Figure 8. Influence of digested Peptan used in BC Beauty on the growth of bone metabolism cells in vitro.

Sleep, Recovery & Night-Time Repair

Recovery is not only about muscles… sleep is essential to keep up with our performance. 

Sleep is one of the body’s most important:

• repair
• regeneration
• recovery systems.

Research shows Peptan® collagen peptides may support:

• sleep quality
• reduced awakenings
• recovery support.
• overall mental clarity

One study showed that Peptan supplementation can improve sleep quality. Our latest findings from a pioneering study on sleep in an active population demonstrate that daily supplementation with 15 g of Peptan 60 minutes before bedtime for one week enhanced the sleep quality of 13 males (18-35 years old) with sleep complaints [7]. The randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover study showed a reduction in awakenings, as measured by polysomnography (Figure 2A), a technique that is considered the gold standard in sleep studies. This result was mirrored by the volunteers’ subjective experience (Figure 2B) and might be explained by studies suggesting that collagen peptides used in BC Beauty Healthy Glow with Peptan® is rich in glycine, a nutrient also linked to improved sleep quality in athletes [8]. What is more, a good night’s sleep is also essential for overnight bone, muscle, and skin regeneration. An additional indication of an improved night’s sleep was that participants in this study improved their scores in the baseline Stroop Color and Word test, a validated cognitive test measuring response time and accuracy to test if they could process two stimuli at the same time. Participants are presented with a word (black letters on a white background) describing a color and asked to select the corresponding color by pressing the corresponding key (Figure 3A). The morning after the sleep trial, participants consuming Peptan scored higher on the test, indicating they improved their response accuracy as a result of better sleep.

This may partly relate to:
👉 glycine,

an amino acid naturally abundant in collagen peptides.

Glycine is increasingly studied for its relationship to:

• sleep quality
• nervous system regulation
• recovery biology.

---

Gut Health, Recovery & Intestinal Integrity

Modern wellness increasingly recognises the importance of:
👉 gut integrity.

Strenuous exercise can cause gastrointestinal discomfort because it affects the intestinal barrier function. The tight junctions between intestinal cells that are meant to protect us, can open up due to intense training. This can result in elevated blood endotoxin levels, which causes inflammation. The results of a randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover study performed in 20 healthy, recreationally active sporters. When taking Peptan, no difference in blood endotoxin levels was observed before or after exercise, contrary to the significantly elevated levels when drinking flavored water. This suggests that BC Beauty Healthy Glow with Peptan® might be able to support intestinal barrier function thereby reducing the presence of endotoxins in the blood.

To summarise:

Intense exercise may affect:

• intestinal permeability
• gut barrier function
• inflammation pathways.

Collagen peptides naturally contain amino acids including:

• glycine
• proline
• glutamine.

These amino acids are increasingly associated with:

• connective tissue
• gut lining support
• recovery pathways.
