Copper Peptides

"What Is A Peptide"

What are copper peptides? Copper is a trace mineral found naturally in plants and animals. "Trace" means that is needed only in small amounts. There is around 100 to 150 mg of this mineral in the human body, mainly in the liver, bones and muscles.

Its deficiency can cause diseases such as:

Menke's syndrome
Wilson's disease

Food containing copper are:

liver
potatoes
cereals
nuts
chocolate
pulses

The daily recommended intake in adults is 1 to 2 mg per day and in children 0'5 to 1 mg per day. This mineral has antioxidant properties.

These trace minerals are born from the union of fragments of proteins and copper. Since they were discovered many cosmetic companies have used them in their formulations as a main ingredient.

Peptides and the skin: Good for the skin because

helps to regenerate the skin, improving skin color
improves collagen and elastin production and sagging skin
diminish fine lines and wrinkles
helps to remove sun damage
helps with scar reduction
it is a powerful antioxidant

As always, is better to do some research before buying any products containing these skin care ingredients because quantity and quality varies from one company to another, and the expensive ones are not necessarily the best ones, as my experience tells me.

The following copper peptide cream is recommended and has been highly rated by consumers Osmotics Blue Copper 5 Firming Elasticity Repair 1oz . It contains c. peptide which will help to diminish wrinkles, improving collagen and elastin production.
