Peptides for Skin & Eye Health: What Science Really Says
The Science of Peptides in Skin and Eye Health
We live in a singularly digital world with devices at our fingertips. We are speeding up, and the demands on our skin and eyes are increasing, especially when it comes to the blue light on our skin and eyes. We see it in our tired looking skin. We feel it in digital eye strain. We know some of the conventional ways we do things are simply not enough.
Topical creams, basic vitamins, and essential oils have their place in the beauty market; however, our future is underpinned by much larger cellular problems.
That is where peptides come into play when it comes to providing cellular repair. Peptides are intelligent, natural molecules to assist your cells to repair and rejuvenate naturally. At Jaan , we identified certain science backed peptides to create our supplements, with a focus on nutraceutical molecular theory to assist the very validity of what underpins your skin's radiance and your eyes' resilience. The goal goes far beyond simply perceived visual benefits; the aim is building a healthier and more vibrant you.

What Are Peptides, and Why Do We Use Peptides in Supplements?
We will cover the benefits shortly, but first, let's define what peptides are. Peptides can be understood as tiny biological messengers. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that can be thought of as the building blocks of proteins such as collagen and keratin. Unlike larger proteins that typically need to be broken down, peptides are small, nimble, and highly targeted.
Peptides are small enough to be absorbed rapidly, and they travel throughout the bloodstream as signaling molecules. Simply put, they communicate with your cells to tell them what to do, such as instructing a skin cell to produce more collagen, telling an immune cell to reduce inflammation, or helping to regulate hormones.
Bioactive peptides provide a significant advantage when used in supplements. They provide targeted therapeutic advantages without the need for large doses that may be difficult to digest. This is exactly why they are positioned at the center of today’s current wellness movement: helping your body repair, regenerate, and renew itself more accurately than any singular supplement.
Did you know? The term "bioactive" means the peptide has a specific and measurable effect on the body after it is absorbed. Bioactive peptides aren't just about normal nutrition; they can also change cellular function.
Here Are The Jaan Peptides to Support Your Skin and Vision
At Jaan , we never use generic peptides. All of our formulas are "peptide powered" in that they contain specific peptides with clinical studies demonstrated for specific outcomes. In the case of supporting the skin and eyes, here are the distinguished peptides: IPH AGAA and IPH AVN.
IPH AGAA – the Skin Regenerating Peptide
The IPH AGAA peptide is the master of the dermal repair process. Its only job is to turn on fibroblasts, the cells in your skin that generate collagen and elastin. These two proteins create the foundation for the firmness, smoothness, and elasticity of your skin.
How does it work? IPH AGAA stimulates fibroblast cells to upregulate their own production. They, in turn, will support your skin renewal from the inside by enhancing their own natural healing process, improving its texture, and enabling cellular regeneration.
Where you'll find it: The IPH AEN and AGAA peptide are key ingredients in our Joint and Muscle supplement system, which can give you beauty from within advantages that you simply can't get with a topical cream.
IPH AVN – The Vascular and Vision Peptide
Healthy skin and crystalline vision rely on one thing: circulation. The IPH AVN peptide is synthesized to support the health and integrity of your blood vessels, especially the minuscule capillaries that deliver nutrients and oxygen to your skin and eyes.
How it works: The IPH AVN stimulates a healthy vasculature, so that a nutrient (like Vitamin C for skin or Lutein for eyes) can reach its destination. With better blood flow, those nutrients will nourish cells, improving the skin's glow and aiding the eyes' protection against ocular bombardment.
Where you'll find it: In our Vision Guard, B-Vitamin Complex, and Total Multivitamin. With IPH AVN, the ingredients in each product can be optimized for absorption.

The Science-Backed Benefits of Peptides for Skin Health
Beautiful, healthy skin starts on the inside. While serums and moisturizers are important for hydration and softness on the skin's outer layer, healthy skin remains dependent on the health of its cells. Here's how you can create a permanent change with peptide powered oral dietary supplements.
Improving Collagen and Elasticity for Firmer Skin
Collagen is the protein that creates the shape and plumpness of skin. Not only does collagen production decline with the aging process, but the dermal matrix declines as well. As such, fine lines form and firmness diminishes. The IPH AGAA peptide works directly at the source of the problem.
By promoting the fibroblasts that create collagen, the IPH AGAA allows the body to rebuild its dermal matrix. This isn't a temporary solution; it's a long term investment in your skin's structure. The benefit is skin density that feels firmer, looks smoother, and is able to withstand the daily rigors placed upon it.
Comparison to Topical: Peptide molecules used in topical creams can be effective; however, the molecules have difficulty penetrating the outer barrier of the skin and often become ineffective when exposed to air.
Oral peptides, such as IPH AGAA, solve this entirely. They travel fully intact into the bloodstream and go directly to the dermal layer, where they perform a biological function at the initiation of collagen synthesis, rather than just temporarily increasing collagen in the dermis in a more superficial way.
Peptides and Nutrient Delivery = Your Natural Glow Up!
Have you ever asked yourself why your skin sometimes looks a bit dull? It can be a frustrating feeling when you think you're using good products. The most common reason is nutrient absorption. If your skin cells cannot access the essential vitamins and minerals you take, then you're missing out on their benefits.
That's where the IPH AVN peptide comes into play. It works to enhance microcirculation, so it is almost like a superhighway. It assures that nutrients like Biotin or Vitamin C from your food or supplements are delivered with maximal efficiency to the skin. The better the circulation, the better the feed, and the better the glow, which leads to vibrant, healthy skin that emanates from the inside out.

The Way Peptides Function For Eyes and Vision Health
We rely on our eyes for almost everything in today's busy world. Protecting them means more than avoiding light; it is about providing superior cellular care.
IPH AVN Concentrates on Macular and Retinal Circulation
The macula of your retina is the part responsible for seeing sharply and in detail at the center of your vision. The metabolic demands here are extreme, and the macula requires a constant, uninterrupted supply of oxygen and nutrients.
The IPH AVN peptide is engineered to enhance vascular performance in this watershed region. More vascularity to your retina and macula means more blood flow, which means more nutrients your eyes need to work at their best, and it could slow age related decline.
Peptides and Antioxidants = Strong Shield Against Digital Stress
In addition to the IPH AVN peptide, we deliver Lutein and Zeaxanthin, which are first class, science backed antioxidants that can filter high energy blue light from screens and the sun. However, they have to reach your macula to be effective.
Here is the synergy. The IPH AVN Peptide facilitates the cellular uptake of these carotenoids. Think of this like a key that unlocks a door. The IPH AVN Peptide and these carotenoids ensure that these critical nutrients are deposited in the place they are needed most in order to provide a strong shield against digital eye strain and oxidative stress.
Did you know? The human eye actively takes up Lutein and Zeaxanthin to create the macular pigment that protects the macula, but strong circulation is required to keep the density of this pigment reinforced to maintain clear vision.

Key Supporting Ingredients for Skin & Eye Health
Peptides are potent on their own, but quite frequently they work synergistically as part of a team. We intentionally pair peptides with quality bioavailable nutrients to produce a synergistic effect. We select all the ingredients in our formulations for a reason.
-
Vitamin C (Acerola Cherry Extract): A wellness rockstar. For the skin, Vitamin C benefits collagen synthesis and is a very powerful antioxidant to protect against UV damage. In the eye, it supports the health of blood vessels in and around the retina. You can find it in our Vision Guard and Total Multivitamin.
-
Lutein & Zeaxanthin (Marigold Flower Extract): These two carotenoids are nature's blue light filters. They build up in the retina and macula and help protect the photoreceptor cells from oxidative stress by absorbing harmful blue light. They are the foundation of our Vision Guard.
-
Biotin, Riboflavin (B_2), and Niacin (B_3): You can't get much better than this trio for skin health.
-
Biotin is important for making keratin, the protein that makes up the structure of your skin, hair, and nails.
-
Riboflavin and Niacin both help decrease skin inflammation and dryness and enhance cellular energy metabolism, improving the brightness and evenness of your complexion. This important trio is found in our B-Vitamin Complex and Total Multivitamin.
