STEM CELLS AND PRO YOUTH SKIN

STEM CELLS IN PRO YOUTH -10 FORMULAS

Now you may be wondering how does any of this help the skin and how are these stem cells getting into products? Products that claim to contain human stem cells may be using a conditioned medium rich with cytokines and growth factors, not an actual stem cell. This is due to human stem cells being fragile and having a high risk of being destroyed before they are added to a formula. The conditioned medium is absorbed and signals the skin to increase fibroblast activity. Plants are not humans so how does a plant stem cell help skin? When these stem cells are extracted, they also contain metabolites rich in nutrients, antioxidants and other factors that stimulate a response within the skin. This rejuvenation and protection delays the natural aging process by maintaining activity of the skin stem cell. The clinical studies and properties of the variety of stem cells is encouraging for continued skin and body support.

Throughout the Pro Youth -10 brand you will see several types of stem cells, offering support to skin.

Plantain Leaf Stem Cell – this praised herb, used in AGE less, increases skin’s firmness and elasticity, overall density and boosted brightening by preventing overproduction of melanin. It is also known for its ability to prevent oxidative stress and the decline of protein synthesis in the extracellular matrix due to matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Plantain leaf increases protection against UV radiation, promoting a stronger, healthier skin stem cell. Swiss Apple Stem Cell – one of the first plant stem cells used in skin care formulas and found in DNAge Reversal, these specialized cells promote longevity of skin stem cells by protecting against UV radiation, thus reducing the premature breakdown of healthy collagen and elastin. Edelweiss Stem Cells – found in high mountain elevations, this stem cell is rich in leontopodic acid A, a potent antioxidant demonstrating three times more protection than vitamin C. Formulated in C-Stem Cell , clinical studies demonstrated a 15% wrinkle reduction around the eye area after 20 days of use. Gardenia Stem Cells – contain natural defenses against environmental and biological stressors. This flowering plant inhibits collagenase, preventing premature breakdown of healthy collagen, reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Used in C-Stem Cell, this ingredient not only protects tissue but stimulates collagen with an efficacy comparable to vitamin C. Thanks to advancements in science both plants and our skin can reap the benefits of sustainability and longevity!
