Goodbye wrinkles, goodbye glycation
Carnosine and Powerful Antioxidants to Prevent Glycation
Ameliox is a liposomal preparation combining carnosine, an antioxidant and anti-glycation substance with 2 powerful oil-soluble antioxidants (silymarin and tocopherol).
Glycation is a slow naturally-occurring process which affects the structure and the activity of proteins. In the skin, it results in the stiffening of the dermis proteins (collagen and elastin), leading to a loss of elasticity and to premature aging.
Oxidative stress factors and notably lipid peroxidation accelerate the glycation process. Ameliox is able to inhibit lipid peroxidation and so, prevents and slows down this deleterious process.
In a clinical study, Ameliox was shown to:
- increase skin firmness, smoothness and hydration
- reduce the depth of wrinkles by 27 % in the crow’s feet area and by 24 % on the forehead after 1 month of treatment.
Thus, Ameliox can delay the glycation process and prevent oxidative aging.
