FSS Collagen Amino Acids PF

Amino Acids as building blocks of proteins and are required for good health. Amino acids are popular among the food industry and are often added to many food products and nutritional supplements. Failure to consume enough of these amino acids can affect a person’s overall health and impair their ability to heal wounds and repair tissues, which can accelerate the aging process. In this case, signs of aged, dull skin appear more noticeable, which has made amino acids a popular additive in many skin care applications.

Not all proteins are created equal. Amino acids, protein’s most basic unit, respond differently to weathering processes depending upon the protein source and molecular structure. Amino acids are hygroscopic, exhibiting powerful moisture retention properties thus helping skin and hair maintain their natural moisture levels. Amino Acid complexes can increase the equilibrium moisture content of hair and influence the moisture transfer to and from hair. The low molecular weight fractions of amino acids offer moisturization and restructuring properties that help mitigate hair shaft damage. Since the hair follicle serves as a reservoir and a major entry point for topically applied compounds, hair can be reinforced with enriched structure and reflective shine using amino acid benefits. We have several Amino Acids available.
