telovitin

Description

Telovitin is an innovative cosmeceutical ingredient designed to target cellular aging at the molecular level. This scientifically advanced compound is based on the Nobel Prize-winning research on telomeres, the protective caps at the ends of chromosomes that play a crucial role in cellular longevity.

Telovitin works by activating telomerase, an enzyme that helps maintain telomere length. As we age, telomeres naturally shorten, leading to cellular senescence and visible signs of aging. By supporting telomere maintenance, Telovitin aims to slow down this process, potentially extending cellular lifespan and improving overall skin health.

In vitro studies have shown that Telovitin can increase telomerase activity by up to 8.8 times compared to untreated cells. This action may contribute to enhanced DNA protection, improved cell vitality, and increased resistance to oxidative stress. Clinical trials have demonstrated improvements in skin firmness, elasticity, and overall appearance with consistent use.

Telovitin is typically incorporated into high-end anti-aging formulations at concentrations between 2-5%. It is compatible with most cosmetic bases and can be combined with other active ingredients for comprehensive skin rejuvenation strategies.
