Ghk Copper Peptides


Book Description

Discover how to rejuvenate your skin and hair using the revolutionary 21st century technology of copper peptides. Unlike other ingredients, which work on skin's surface only, copper peptides reset your skin's genes to youth and health. This book is a comprehensive guide to copper peptides, written by a renowned biochemist Dr. Pickart, the discoverer of the original copper-peptide GHK-Cu. This is a detailed, easy-to-read and in-depth work on the use of copper peptides. The book provides a wealth of science-based information, plus scientific references to give you all the tools and knowledge you'll need to start using copper peptides. It includes information on everything from anatomy of the skin to step-by-step instructions. With easy-to-follow directions, you'll be able to address needs of aging skin, oily and acne-prone skin, or dry and sensitive skin, and more! You will find scientifically sound information on scars and stretch marks, brittle nails, thinning hair, sun care, and beauty nutrition. Considering growing popularity of copper peptide products, his book is a must-have for those who care about their skin's health and beauty. "Not all copper-peptides are equal. Some of them can damage your skin," warns Dr. Pickart. Choosing the right copper peptide products, combining copper-peptides with other scientifically proven skin remedies, seeing through false advertising, preventing skin damage and accelerated aging, as well as helping skin rebuild and rejuvenate itself - those are just a few topics addressed in the book. Also included in the new book are the surprising and unexpected health protective actions of GHK (anti-cancer, anti-anxiety, anti-pain, anti-COPD, anti-inflammatory, stem cell activation, etc.) reported by many universities around the world. After completing this book, you won't just put it away. You will use it again and again as a great reference in your beauty endeavors. Dr. Pickart, Ph.D. has been studying copper peptides for over 40 years. He is truly passionate about sharing the sound scientific approach to skin rejuvenation and making this invaluable information available to everyone. "There never has been a better time to fight aging and stay young," says Dr. Pickart, "The copper-peptide molecules not only have the power to shift your skin's biology from aging to rejuvenation, they do it in a safe and gentle way. With copper peptides we can tune-up skin's DNA, just like a piano. This is a rejuvenating technology of the future. What's more, it is a very affordable and safe approach. This should be available to everyone." SKIN, HAIR, AND MANY DISEASES OF AGING In many controlled, peer-reviewed published articles, GHK was found to: - Tighten loose skin and thicken older skin - Repair protective skin barrier proteins - Improve skin firmness, elasticity, and clarity - Reduce fine lines, depth of wrinkles, and overall appearance - Reduce photodamage, mottled hyperpigmentation, skin spots and lesions - Improve overall appearance - Protect skin cells from UV radiation - Increase hair growth and thickness, enlarge hair follicle size ANTI-CANCER ACTIONS - GHK topped 1,309 genes as the best Broad Institute computer recommended bioactive for the treatment of human metastatic colon cancer. - GHK, at 1 nanomolar, resets the programmed cell death system in human cancer cells (human neuroblastoma, leukemia, and breast cancer). - GHK inhibits NFKB p65 which is believed to promote cancer growth. - Repair damaged DNA at cellular level at 1 nanomolar (47 genes UP, 5 genes down). - GHK-copper induces cell differentiation. - Resets 84 genes to growth inhibition or cancer inhibition.

Reverse Skin Aging


Book Description

Skin aging once was believed to be inevitable. Today, scientific studies from leading institutions confirm that many age-related changes in your skin can be reversed! Yes, it is possible to tighten your skin, reduce blemishes, improve skin clarity, density and firmness naturally without the use of alien chemicals and potentially dangerous procedures. In his insightful book, Dr. Pickart discusses his groundbreaking discovery of the copper peptide GHK - a biochemical gem that forever transformed our beliefs about what is possible when it comes to reversing skin aging. Copper peptides are natural compounds that work together with your body's natural repair systems, helping your skin to repair and rebuild itself to maintain its youthful and glowing appearance. Unfortunately, they decline with age and therefore need to be replenished to prevent wrinkles and loss of elasticity. The book is heavily referenced citing dermatological studies and independent research that present an impressive body of evidence of the age-reversal power of copper peptides. The book also reviews common skin problems and gives detailed suggestions on how to solve them naturally, tapping into body's own regenerative power. Above all, this is a publication that will help you learn to love and appreciate your skin while taking care of its needs and enhancing its ability to repair, renew and rebuild itself.

Antioxidants in Therapy and Preventive Medicine


Book Description

Twenty years ago, the enzyme superoxide dismutase which uses the superoxide radical anion as its specific substrate was reported. With this discovery was born a new scientific field, in which oxygen, necessary for aerobi c 1 ife on thi s planet, had to be cons i dered also in terms of its toxicity and stresses. This stimulated the search for knowledge of active oxygen species in biology and medicine. Superoxide and other reactive oxygen species are now implicated in many disease processes. Major advances have been achieved during these past years with respect to free radical generation and mechanisms of free radical action in causing tissue injury. In parallel, the possibil ity of influencing free radical related disease processes by antioxidant treatment was studied in various in vitro and in vivo systems. This was the unique theme of a conference organized in Paris by the Society for Free Radical Research (December 9-10, 1988) which brought together experts from basic sciences and clinicians in order to evaluate the current status of antioxidant therapy. The conference emphasized fundamental processes in antioxidant action. Among the major topics were superoxide dismutase (SOD) and low molecular weight substances with such activity, called SOD mimics. Other antioxidant enzymes were also considered. Antioxidant vitamins, in particular vitamins E and C, other naturally occurri ng antioxidants and vari ous synthet i c antioxidants were included in the presentations as there is now a rapidly developing series of compounds with potentially interesting clinical applications.

Discovering Cosmetic Science


Book Description

Welcome to this ‘novice’s guide’. At last a book that explains the real science behind the cosmetics we use. Taking a gentle approach and a guided journey through the different product types, we discover that they are not as superficial as often thought and learn that there is some amazing science behind them. We shall uncover some of the truths behind the myths and point out some interesting facts on our way. Did you know? Vitamin E is the world’s most used cosmetic active ingredient. At just 1mm thick, your amazing skin keeps out just about everything it’s exposed to – including your products! A ‘chemical soup’ of amino acids, urea, mineral salts and organic acids act as ‘water magnets’ in the skin keeping it naturally moisturised. Discovered centuries ago, iron oxides (yes, the same chemicals as rust) are still commonly used inorganic pigments in foundations. A lipstick is a fine balance of waxes, oils and colourants to keep the stick stable and leave an even gloss on your lips.
