Anthogenol slowing the rate of ageing
Today’s challenge is not so much adding years to our life but adding life to our years. Liking yourself as you age has never been more important. In the twenty-first century, 'wellbeing' is about so much more than just not being ill.
When we age, it is the skin that announces it to the world and in a country of sun, sand and beaches, we cannot be too careful. While we used to treat ageing as just a skincare issue, nowadays healthy age management is so much more than just looking young and the term ageing has far wider health implications.
In the age of yoga and wheatgrass shots, we are coming to realise that health and well-being needs to be targeted from within. Factors such as poor diet, mental stress, smoking, intense exercise and over-exposure to the sun are all major contributors to the production of free radicals which accelerate ageing processes.
Professor Jack Masquelier's OPCs (short for Oligomeric ProanthoCyanidins) were discovered and isolated by Professor Masquelier is a natural extract from grapeseed and cannot be synthetically made. OPCs have restorative and naturally protective properties that help repair, and fight against the harmful effects of ageing at a cellular level. OPCs have been trademarked as ANTHOGENOL.
OPCs help diminish fine lines and wrinkles, yet they do more than your average eye cream. The capsules work from within and at a cellular level OPCs are able to protect the skin against the breakdown of skin collagen, which is essential for youthful looking skin and healthy connective tissues. Rather than simply repairing the damage, OPCs work from the inside out and help combat the signs of ageing before they affect the surface.
Furthermore, OPCs benefit many other areas of the body including the heart and blood vessels, leg health, and eye health. As we become older our skin repairs itself up to four times slower, but because OPCs work at a cellular level, they are able to help the body heal faster. This self-repairing characteristic is also of use to sports men and women as OPCs help minimise recovery times after playing sport and following strenuous work-outs.
