Age-Less Skin Formula 60 Vcaps - Bluebonnet

Bluebonnet Age-Less Skin Formula Vcaps were specially formulated with high- quality DMAE (100 mg), alpha lipoic acid (50 mg) and vitamin C ester (500 mg) from ascorbyl palmitate to support the recommendations Dr. Perricone espoused in his best-selling book, The Wrinkle Cure, for youthful skin. As a result of the aging process, facial muscles lose tone. The chemicals involved in muscle tone tend to decrease with age, but also as a result of free-radical damage. For muscle contraction to take place, nerves have to be able to fire or send signals to the muscle to produce a contraction. At the end of the nerve, there is a bulb, which contains various chemical messengers, including acetylcholine. For a muscle contraction to take place, acetylcholine must be released. With age and wear and tear, acetylcholine levels diminish, thereby decreasing the amount of muscular contractions and subsequent tone. DMAE is a nutrient that increases acetylcholine concentrations in the body. Due to its unique structure, it is able to become part of the cell membrane; thereby making the cell membrane more resistant to stress. Furthermore, by acting as an antioxidant, it can neutralize free radicals, prior to the damage they inflict on cells and tissues. * Alpha lipoic acid is a unique antioxidant. It is both fat- and water-soluble and is known for its potent free-radical scavenger activity. Alpha lipoic acid or thioctic acid is a vitamin-like nutrient that has gained tremendous attention from the scientific community for its powerful antioxidant properties. Alpha lipoic acid aids in recycling the antioxidant vitamins C and E and works synergistically with vitamin E. Most importantly, in its role to support skin health, alpha lipoic acid inhibits the cross linkage of collagen and protein, known as glycation, which is why it is featured in Bluebonnet Age-Less Skin Formula Vcaps. Glycation is the process that causes skin to sag.
