The primary culprit behind aging is free radicals. Free radicals are negatively charged oxygen ions produced during respiration. While they possess bactericidal properties, they simultaneously damage organic structures within the human body, leading to aging. Inhibiting free radicals is currently the hottest topic in anti-aging research. The efficacy of peptides in inhibiting free radicals is the square to the cube (2nd to 3rd power) of Coenzyme Q10—currently the most popular health supplement in Japan—making their anti-aging capabilities particularly outstanding.
Regarding wrinkle reduction: Since peptides have a molecular weight of only 1,000 Daltons (approximately 100 nanometers), they can be directly absorbed by the skin. Furthermore, due to their exceptionally strong water-absorbing properties, they can plump the skin, leaving it full and smooth, thus providing excellent wrinkle-reducing effects.
