Peptides you eat, not just apply
You’ve probably heard about peptides in skincare, the tiny chains of amino acids that support collagen production, skin firmness, and youthful glow. But did you know the foods you eat can also provide the raw materials your body uses to build peptides for skin, hair, hormones, gut health, immunity, and more?
Peptides aren’t just a magic ingredient you only take as a supplement. They are naturally present in many foods, and the amino acids you consume from whole foods are the building blocks your body uses to make its own beneficial peptides.
How Whole Plant Foods Support Peptide Nutrition
Plant-derived peptides and amino acids carry a range of potential benefits, including antioxidant action, anti-inflammatory support, and immune support, all of which increase skin, hair, and whole-body vitality.
What RAW, Organic, Cold-Pressed Ingredients Deliver
Our studied and carefully selected whole ingredients naturally contribute protein and amino acids, the raw materials your body turns into peptides:
Leafy Greens
-
Spinach, kale, collards, parsley
These greens contain proteins that break down into amino acids and short peptide chains. Supporting eye health, immunity, and overall cellular repair, they’re a foundation for building vital peptides.
Featured in: Spinach Apple, Seasonal Greens, Dark Greens, Dandelion, Lemon & Greens
Almonds & Hemp Seeds
-
Sprouted almonds and hemp seeds supply plant proteins rich in amino acids. Nuts and seeds are recognized sources of peptides and amino acid fragments that support cell repair, skin elasticity, and metabolic balance.
Featured in: Almond Milks (Apple Almond, Honey Turmeric, Deep Chocolate Almond Milk, etc.) and Creamy Cold Brew
Vegetables with Protein
-
Celery, cucumber, beets, carrots
These vegetables contain small amounts of protein and amino acids. While not high-protein on their own, in juice form they provide nutrient-dense hydration and micronutrients that support peptide pathways when paired with other foods.
Featured in: Pure Celery, Carrot Beet, Carrot Ginger, Turmeric & Beet, Mint Lime
Fruits with Amino Acids
-
Apples, citrus (lemon/lime), gala apple
Fruits supply small amounts of protein and essential amino acids, along with antioxidants that help protect peptide-rich tissues like skin and hair from oxidative stress.
Featured in: Lemon Ginger, Gala Apple, Spinach Apple
Why This Matters for Skin + Hair
Peptides support collagen synthesis and tissue repair, essential for skin elasticity, hydration, and hair strength. The amino acids from greens, nuts, and fruits help supply your body with what it needs to build structural proteins and peptides naturally, from the inside out. While topical peptides are popular for surface effects, the nutritional foundation for peptide production happens in the digestive tract and liver before it shows up in your skin.
This means supporting your body with a steady supply of micronutrients, amino acids, and antioxidants like those in raw, organic, cold-pressed juices. Giving your system the building blocks it needs to thrive.
How to Think About Peptides in Your Diet
- Juice daily for concentrated micronutrients hydration and antioxidants that protect tissues
- Pair juices with whole foods rich in amino acids like nuts, seeds, legumes, or whole grains, for fuller peptide support
- Use juices as foundation nutrition while eating balanced meals that include broader protein sources
By focusing on whole sources of amino acids and micronutrients, you’re not only feeding your skin, you’re supporting your body’s own peptide production in the cells that matter most. That’s the beauty of nourishing from the inside out!
