tripeptides
Short protein fragments
Tripeptides are molecules consisting of three amino acids linked together by peptide bonds.
They form when proteins break down or during digestion, serving as building blocks in biological processes.
In skincare and supplements, specific tripeptides like glutathione are valued for their antioxidant or collagen-stimulating properties: The serum contains tripeptides to boost skin firmness.
