Functional benefits of the Pounamu Protein Collagen Peptides Superfood Beauty Blend

Glass of Beauty blend with strawberries and raspberriesPounamu Protein Beauty Whey Superfood blend is specifically formulated to give your skin, nails, and hair a beautiful glow while keeping you full and providing essential nutrients to your diet through protein and superfoods.

Like the rest of our products, the Beauty Blend is all-natural, non-GMO, from grass-fed, free-range New Zealand cows. It’s also certified glyphosate residue free, keeping those nasty chemicals out of your diet. Pure natural protein!

What sets our Beauty Blend apart is its multifaceted benefits.

Collagen

For a good reason, collagen has been a popular beauty trend lately. Collagen is a protein and a key component in making up bone, skin, and cartilage. It is mostly made of amino acids, protein’s building blocks.

But, collagen protein alone is hard for the body to absorb. So, we break the protein down into what is called collagen peptides, smaller pieces that your body can easily absorb. Collagen peptides are most effective when taken orally, which is why our Beauty Blend can be key to keeping your skin, nails, and hair healthy! Each Beauty Blend serving contains the recommended daily dose of 2.5 grams of clinically proven collagen peptides.

As we age, our bodies produce less and less collagen naturally. Supplementing collagen can increase the odds of helping your skin retain its youthful elasticity and hydration! Incorporating daily collagen peptides into your diet will give the collagen your skin already has a helping hand ensuring your skin stays healthier for longer.

Evidence also shows collagen can also help gut, bone, and heart health!

Collagen peptides work together with protein, superfoods, and grape seed extract in the Beauty Blend to support your overall health, keep reading to find out how.

Protein

On top of our Beauty Blend providing healthy amino acids and collagen peptides, it also has 25 grams of protein per serving from 23 grams of whey protein and 2.5g of collagen peptides.

We know that protein is the building block of the body and helps repair and rebuild muscles. Our Beauty Blend is designed as a quick meal to help fuel your body throughout the day or before or after a workout. Having a high-protein meal, such as a Beauty Blend smoothie, will help keep you fuller for longer while providing your body with essential nutrients to keep you going.

Superfoods

Some of the most popular superfoods are berries, which are rich in nutrients and vitamins. Goji, blueberries, raspberries, and maqui berries, are incorporated into our Beauty Blend, for their antioxidant properties, Vitamin C, fiber, and potassium.

Having antioxidant-heavy superfoods, like blueberries and maqui berries, can be incredibly beneficial to your overall skin health. Not only that, but the Vitamin C from the superfoods supports the work of the collagen peptides. Vitamin C ensures that the correct amino acids from the collagen protein are linked together to keep the collagen functioning properly. Without enough Vitamin C, the collagen you consume may not yield the results you expect, so the superfoods are key!

Aside from being delicious, berries are also popular because they are low in calories and sodium but have many beneficial nutrients packed into a tiny berry!

Grape Seed Extract

Grape seed extract and collagen work harmoniously to keep your skin glowing and hydrated by increasing collagen synthesis and cell turnover. It has also been shown to help protect your skin from sun damage (although, keep wearing that sunscreen daily!).

Once you incorporate the Beauty Blend into your daily life, you may see your skin tone evening out or your problem acne fading away - thanks to the collagen, superfoods, and grape seed extract team that is hard at work. Grape seed extract can also help to keep your skin hydrated.

At just 140 calories per serving, the Pounamu Protein Beauty blend can help support a keto, low-carb, or high-protein diet. Use it as a pre or post work out protein boost or as a meal replacement and enjoy the delicious mixed berry coconut flavor!
