Glycation Advanced Glycation End Products Explained

Glycation is a chemical reaction that results from sugars attaching to proteins. Glycation affects the whole body and generates A.G.E (Advanced Glycation Endproduct) a major cause of aging.

 

In the dermis, elastin and collagen structures are most affected by glycation. They are gradually rigidified by the attachment of sugars.

 

The body has no defense system to fight against glycation (unlike the fight against oxidation or repair of DNA, for example).

 

Glycation can be controlled by adopting a healthy life (avoid sun exposure, tobacco, alcohol products, browned foods and limit consumption of sugary foods).

 

Anti Glycation products:

 

Regular intake of anti-glycation substances could help maintain the level of glycation and theoretically expect a return back in time to allow the glycated proteins to recycle.

 

This type of treatment would require the use of large quantities of anti-glycation products for many years.

 

Regular intake of anti-glycation substances (which prevent the glycation reaction) can be used to maintain the rate of glycation and theoretically expect a return back in time to allow the glycated proteins to recycle.

 

This type of treatment requires the use of large quantities of anti-glycation products for many years. It is perfectly adapted to cosmetics such as sun block or whitening.

 

The deglycation (AGE BREAKER English) reaction that allows returning back by breaking AGE is the main way to restore the functionality of glycated proteins.

 

Resulting from a research program conducted with specialists in phytodermatology and pharmacognosy, nacriderm AGE BREAKER, formulated with rosmarinic acid extracted from Rosmarinus officinalis, is the first dietary supplement déglycant available on the market.
