Description
Cell respiration is a process of delivering oxygen and nutrients to the skin, while washing away toxic elements before damage occurs. Increasing cell respiration is vital for the health of the skin. Over the years, some have experimented with increasing cell respiration and blood flow by incorporating niacin, methyl nicotinate, capsaicin and others. While these ingredients may have delivered the increase in blood flow, they also faced the challenges of the adverse reaction of discomfort and irritation.
Oxy Peptide provides the solution to increasing cell respiration, without irritation and without discomfort. Oxy Peptide is a bio-active cosmetic ingredient derived via biofermentation process, utilizing yeast derived complex which activates and reactivates tissue regeneration through a dramatic stimulation of cell respiration. Oxy Peptide is recommended for use in skin and body care products to support the skin¡¯s natural revitalizing capacity and to strengthen against damaging insults.
Key Benefits
¡Ü Promote respiration and oxygen consumption at the cellular level
¡Ü Stimulate skin cell turnover by 25% in just two weeks
¡Ü Visibly reduces wrinkles and the overall signs of aging
¡Ü The end result is dramatically younger, smoother looking skin
EFFICACY
Effects on Cell Respiration
The effect on cell respiration was determined using a Gilson Respirometer IG-14 and a liver homogenate from a guinea pig. The Material increases the oxygen consumption of the liver cells in a dose-dependent manner, the optimal concentration under the test conditions used being 0.2 ml of the Oxy Peptide. The increase in oxygen consumption determined was 754%, when compared to the blank value.
Cell Renewal Activity
The cell renewal activity was studied with the standard dansyl chloride technique. Two test concentrations, 3% and 5%, were applied to the volar forearms of the test subjects twice daily for the duration of the study and then compared to an untreated site of the forearm. Twelve test subjects, ages 30 to 55, demonstrated an increase in cell renewal rates by 17% and 27% respectively.
Cell Proliferation
To test the ability on cell proliferation, the effect was detected in a cell culture system of Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts. A MTT assay was performed, which detects growth and mitochondiral activity of living cells. The Material was dose-dependent effect on the proliferation of an in vitro cell culture system.
