BHBD’s Collagen Supplements 12:14 PM Tuesday, June 4, 2024 From wigs, extensions, and hair care to an entirely new category in beauty and health, BHBD is making waves once again. This time, the innovative Swedish hair products company has partnered with the renowned health brand GAAM to launch two products aimed at those seeking an extra boost of active ingredients for both hair and skin. BHBD, known for its exceptional hair care solutions, first introduced the BHBD Extensions line in spring 2023, followed by the BHBD Hair Care series in autumn. These products were designed to cater to both natural hair and all types of hair extensions, wigs, and hairpieces. However, BHBDs commitment to beauty doesn’t stop at the surface. Responding to frequent customer inquiries about achieving healthier hair, radiant skin, and more energy, BHBD is expanding its product range to offer beauty from the inside out. Meet “Capsuled Beauty” and “Peach Dream”—two innovative products born from the collaboration between BHBD and GAAM. Designed and manufactured in Sweden, these supplements are crafted to nourish you from within, promoting stronger, healthier hair and glowing, elastic skin. Capsuled Beauty: The Power of Nutrition in a Capsule Capsuled Beauty is a dietary supplement in the form of easy-to-swallow capsules, packed with a powerful blend of ingredients such as biotin, silica, hyaluronic acid, collagen, and vitamins C and D. This potent combination is designed to enhance hair strength, support the growth of nails and hair, and boost collagen production for more elastic, radiant skin. The compact form of these capsules makes it easy to incorporate this powerful beauty boost into your daily routine, helping you achieve strong, shiny hair and glowing skin. Peach Dream: A Delicious Drink for Radiant Beauty Peach Dream is a refreshing drink with the delightful flavor of iced tea and peach, loaded with a unique mix of ingredients including collagen, hyaluronic acid, vitamin D, and biotin. By blending the rejuvenating properties of collagen and hyaluronic acid with the nutrient-rich benefits of vitamin D and biotin, Peach Dream promotes radiant skin and supports hair health while giving your body an energy boost. Why Collagen? Collagen is a vital protein that plays a crucial role in maintaining the strength and elasticity of the skin, hair, and nails. As we age, our body’s natural collagen production decreases, leading to signs of aging such as wrinkles, sagging skin, and weakened hair. By incorporating collagen supplements into your beauty routine, you can help replenish this essential protein, promoting firmer, more youthful-looking skin, and stronger, healthier hair. For beauty enthusiasts, collagen supplements are a must-have. They not only help maintain and enhance your natural beauty but also support overall health and wellness. The combination of collagen with other beneficial ingredients like hyaluronic acid, biotin, and vitamins ensures a comprehensive approach to beauty, nourishing your body from the inside out. BHBD’s new products, Capsuled Beauty and Peach Dream, are available on www.bhbd.com, www.proteinbolaget.se, and selected hair salons. Embrace the future of beauty with BHBD’s innovative collagen supplements and experience the transformation from within.
