Apparently I am not allowed to post links but there is an antioxidant that a doctor found that is more effective than vitamin c/green tea (EGCG)/vitamin e and is more stable. She is patenting the product currently but all I have to say is if it lives up to the claims I am S-O-L-D!
The article is actually quite interesting IMHO!
Here is an excerpt from the site (PM me if you want the link; this is from Science Daily btw, not spam):
"In her doctoral research at the university, Dr. Orit Bossi succeeded in isolating a plant-based antioxidant that delays the aging process by countering the breakdown of collagen fibers in the skin. Dr. Bossi conducted her research under the supervision of Zecharia Madar, the Karl Bach Professor of Agricultural Biochemistry at the Hebrew University, and Prof. Shlomo Grossman of Bar-Ilan University.
"A problem with many of the commercial antioxidants found today in the market that are said to retard the aging process is that they oxidize quickly and therefore their efficiency declines with time," said Dr. Bossi. "Vitamin C, for example, oxidizes rapidly and is sensitive to high temperatures. This is also true of the antioxidant EGCG which is found in green tea, and vitamin E. As opposed to these, the antioxidant which I used in my research is able to withstand high temperatures, is soluble in water, and does not oxidize easily and thus remains effective over time."
Dr. Bossi is looking towards a new generation of cosmetic products which will not only combat wrinkles but will be more effective against deeper levels of skin wrinkles than current products. Dr. Bossi did not reveal the plant source she used to derive the antioxidant, since the research is in the process of being patented.
In her research, Dr. Bossi conducted experiments on mice skin tissue, which, she says, resembles that of humans. She applied her antioxidant on two skin cell groups -- those which had been exposed to the sun's rays and received her antioxidant and those which also had been exposed to sun but did not receive the antioxidant. The untreated cells showed a rise in free radicals causing wrinkles, while those cells which had been treated showed no significant increase in the free radicals level."
What do you guys think? |

Here's the full link:
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/08/070830102601.htm
This article was published in 2007. I would think the patent would have been granted by now and likely products available. I did a brief search for a patent and didn't immediately find one.
Anyone have any further info on the status of this? |

Wow, thanks for posting the link since I cannot! I didn't even see the 2007 status so hopefully it is stil in testing or whatever they do. I am aware that to create a product like this with a patent and (probably) making it a prescription product is extremely strenuous so we must stay optimistic  |
