HYDROLYSED COLLAGEN PEPTIDES
- Collagen is one of the most abundant proteins in the body. In fact, collagen is “the main structural protein that forms the connective tissue throughout our body, from skin to bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments
- Collagen peptides are rich in glycine, proline and hydroxyproline which allow for optimal maintenance and repair of tissues. This is so important after childbirth. The birthing process usually needs 6 weeks of repair and healing, but that will be more where there has been a caesarian birth, or episiotomy or tears etc. Adequate protein for this repair process can make a big difference both to the rate of healing and the final result.
- Collagen peptides also provide an energy source - always helpful for breastfeeding mothers.
