<p>One of the most important ingredients in your skin is collagen. As you age, your body will reduce the amount of collagen that it produces resulting in the aging of your skin. When you are trying to improve your appearance and look youthful, it is important that you find a way for increasing collagen in your skin.</p>
<p>Many cosmetic and skincare brands claim that you can apply collagen to your skin. When you do a little more research on the topic, you will discover that it is not possible for collagen to absorb into your skin and have any effect on your appearance. To produce results on your skin, you will have to find a way to naturally increase the amount of collagen in your skin through other methods.</p>
<p>Aging collagen skin can be helped with injections of collagen that is used to fill wrinkles and fine lines. Many women use this method, but it is not long lasting and you will have to continue to have the injections for the effects to remain. If you do not want to take such a drastic step in your skincare treatment, there are other things that you can do.</p>
<p>Do some research on skincare and collagen in your skin. Sites like X-tend Life are very informative about the process of aging skin and the things that you can do for increasing collagen naturally. There are a number of products on the market that will help your skin produce its own collagen and give a more youthful appearance in a less drastic method than injections.</p>
<p>Your skincare routine should begin with your diet and end with natural skincare products that effectively use the body to produce the results that are wanted. There have been some great strides in aging skin research and the ingredients that can be used to be effective. Keep in mind when you are doing research that it is not merely the presence of these ingredients that matter. They must be in the product in the correct quantities to have any effect at all. There are many brand name skincare products that claim to have some of the most cutting edge ingredients in their products, however, when you do more research you will find that there is not a sufficient amount to do anything at all.</p>
<p>Eat a well balanced diet, drink plenty of water, get exercise and rest and make sure that you have all of the information on skincare and you will be on your way to looking great for a long period of time. It&#8217;s never easy to watch your skin age and worry about what you can do about it. Good research and a healthy body will help you find the best results.</p>
<p>Increasing collagen is possible if you allow your body to do it naturally. Take a look at all of the information that is available and look for the method that will work for you. There are steps that you can take today to make sure that your skin is in the best possible condition.</p>

<p>There are some measures that you can do to reverse skin aging. Cosmetic surgery and the wrinkle filler treatments can help you to reverse the signs of aging that have appeared on your skin. If you are looking for a skincare product for your aging skin, you should concentrate on preventative measures before your aging skin becomes a problem.</p>
<p>Finding a skincare routine that you use with consistency is the best aging skin treatments that you can use. It is important that you keep your skin clean and hydrated to give it the best possible chance to avoid the signs of aging for an extended period of time. Look for products that contain natural ingredients to protect your skin from harmful chemicals and other ingredients that will not help your skin. There is a great deal of information available that will help you to determine the ingredients that you should include in your skincare products. Look for a skincare line that is as close as possible to the plant based ingredients that are the best for your aging skin.</p>
<p>If your skin is already showing the signs of aging, there are some things that you should do to avoid further damage. Keep in mind that the only real way to eliminate wrinkles from your skin is with a cosmetic procedure that will temporarily fill in the wrinkle or a surgery that will permanently eliminate wrinkles. However, you can do a great deal to help your skin be in good condition and able to stop the future appearance of wrinkles. One of the things that you should do is find a skincare product that keeps your skin well hydrated and properly cleaned.</p>
<p>Your healthy lifestyle will also help your skin stay younger looking longer. Make sure that you are eating foods that will help your skin stay healthy and young. Your diet should be well balanced and full of the nutrients that will promote healthy aging. Foods that are rich in antioxidants can do a great deal for your skin and body when you are combating the signs of aging. Free radicals in your body are responsible for the deterioration of your skin and your body and antioxidants can minimize their effect.</p>
<p>Getting plenty of rest is also important to your skin as it ages. Your body needs time to recover from the damage that is caused during the day and sleep is an important part of this process. You must make sure that you get plenty of sleep so that your body has every opportunity to repair itself and stay in good health. When you are tired and not well rested, you will find that the results will show up in your skin.</p>
<p>A good way to reverse skin aging is to make sure that you take good care of your skin and only use quality products in your skincare routine. The most effective aging skin treatment that you can use is your constant vigilance about the products that you use and your health. Pay attention to the ingredients that are used in your skincare products and only choose those that have the most natural ingredients and none of the harmful chemicals that could cause damage to your skin.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are Parabens Bad? If this question bugs you as it does to millions of other skincare consumers, then this article would be the definitive guide for you on the hidden dangers of parabens and how to avoid these hidden dangers.</p>
<p>When you buy your most trusted brand of skincare product, harmful chemicals are the last thing you expect out of them! You buy skincare products to look good and young, not to harm your skin health.</p>
<p>Are parabens bad for skin health? Many consumers of skincare products are not even aware of this question. But those who know the right question to ask shall come to know the hidden dangers of parabens.</p>
<p>Scientific studies have shown that Parabens are a prime cause of cancer.It has been categorized as a known &#8220;Carcinogen&#8221;. It means that it is a cancer causing agent.</p>
<p>You should be aware of the dangers of parabens used in different forms and names. Some of the names you can find in your favorite skincare products are &#8220;methyl&#8221;, &#8220;propyl&#8221;, &#8220;butyl&#8221; and &#8220;ethyl&#8221; parabens.</p>
<p>After being aware of the dangers of parabens, you might wonder, if they are so bad and harmful after all, then why are they being used in skin care products? The answer is that they are effective preservatives. Their only utility in the skin care product is to improve and extend their shelf life.</p>
<p>Now, a longer shelf life and a longer expiry period might mean fatter profits for the manufacturers, but it is all at the expense of the consumer&#8217;s health. The health of the consumers is kept at stake to improve their profits.</p>
<p>No consumer would mind to pay a slightly higher price for a skincare product that if free of parabens and does great skin benefits. But the manufacturers do not make aware of the consumers of the dangers of parabens that they are using in the skin care products.</p>
<p>Are parabens bad? Here are some of the dangers of parabens that are proven scientifically but which have been hidden by the manufacturers -</p>
<p>·    Parabens cause skin rashes, irritations and many types of allergic reactions.<br />
·    Parabens cause significant harm to the endocrine system. This way it ruins vital body functions like metabolism, health of tissues and mood and behavioral functions.</p>
<p>You can see clearly that many trusted parafen based skincare products are infected with the hidden dangers of parabens. They should be avoided at all costs. &#8220;Prevention is better than Cure&#8221; &#8211; This definitely applies to Paraben based skin care products.</p>
<p>In my website I have covered an extensive research on many other harmful substances used in skincare products frequently, which should be avoided as well.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Effective Tips for healthy skin can be of immense use because a beautiful skin glowing with natural health is one of the most prized asset that you can have. A healthy glowing skin leaves such a positive impression on everyone we meet that leaves them all surprised in astonishment!</p>
<p>We have been taught since childhood that cheating is bad. But, looking good and beautiful is a natural desire in all of us. So, it is justified to use skin care rejuvenation products to look young as a part of the effective tips for healthy skin. If a 100% natural path is what you prefer to look beautiful, then you should not apply any make-up, hair products or any skin care cosmetic products.</p>
<p>But, avoiding any skincare rejuvenation products would make you look older prematurely. Hence it is acceptable to use skin rejuvenation products that give us young and healthy looks and make us feel more confident.</p>
<p><strong>Tips for healthy skin &#8211; Harmful Substances to avoid</strong></p>
<p>Effective tips for healthy skin would be incomplete without this revelation. You should be aware that skincare product manufacturers are using harmful substances in your much trusted skin care products. These are causing substantial damage to your skin health in the long term.</p>
<p>A lot of the skincare products available in the market contain parabens and fragrances. <strong>Parabens</strong> are effective preservatives and help in improving the shelf life of the skincare products. They are clinically known to cause cancer.</p>
<p><strong>Fragrances</strong> are added to skincare products so that they smell nice. But their health consequences are very fatal because they are made out of harmful chemicals. They cause allergic reactions, skin irritation and also hinder the normal functioning of the central nervous system!</p>
<p>Another culprit in sub standard skincare products is <strong>Mineral Oils</strong>. They work as temporary skin moisturizers and are used because they are cheap. They clog the skin pores and lead to acne breakouts and skin inflammation.</p>
<p>There are many more hazardous chemical substances used in skincare products. You can visit my website for a comprehensive list.</p>
<p>Thus, as a part of tips for healthy skin, it is very important that you avoid the above harmful chemicals and use such products with naturally proven effective substances that can give the best care and protection to your skin health.</p>
<p><strong>Tips for healthy skin &#8211; Natural Substances to look for</strong></p>
<p>I have discovered some secret breakthrough natural substances. One of them is <strong>Cynergy TK</strong>. It has been pioneered in New Zealand. It is being used in niche skincare product lines. It has been clinically proven very effective in enhancing the natural production of collagen and elastin in the body.</p>
<p><strong>Collagen and Elastin</strong> are the vital skin proteins in our body which can be called as the youth giving skin proteins. They give us a firm, supple, pliant and elastic skin. In your youth days, these were produced in ample quantity by your body, but as you age, their natural production slows down and skin aging signs like wrinkles, saggy skin and age spots begin to show up.</p>
<p>In clinical trials on human volunteers, Cynergy TK showed amazing results. It showed more than 14% improvement in skin moisture retention and more than 42% improvement in skin elasticity in a period of 18 days.</p>
<p>As Cynergy TK has been pioneered in New Zealand, you might not have heard its name yet in the western world. It might become a household name in some years, but as of now it is only known to some individuals like you and me who have done some research.</p>
<p>And internet has brought it into the reach of anyone, anywhere on the globe. A soft and beautiful skin need not remain just a dream any more, the effective tips for healthy skin can make you achieve that in reality.</p>

<p>Many people are finding different ways on how to have healthy aging skin. Nowadays, you can choose from a wide variety of skincare treatments anywhere, which promise you to be younger looking. Most of the products claim that they are the best treatments for aging skin but only few can live to these claims. The most effective skincare treatments are those that have natural components that are safer to use.</p>
<p> 
<p>With the many treatments, therapies and surgical procedures, defying age with the most natural method is still the best. This includes consuming good foods, having good sleeping habits and living an active way of life. Best treatments for aging skin is not necessarily those expensive skincare products but preventing the damaging effects of harmful factors that can cause premature aging. Smoking is known to be one of the main factors of having wrinkles and fine lines. In addition, smoking has other dangerous effects to our health including lung cancer and other diseases. Make an effort to stop smoking to slow down the appearance of premature wrinkles.</p>
<p> 
<p>Washing face habitually is not necessary when you are older. Acne and oiliness is no longer a problem with old age, but dryness. If you wash your face with soap frequently, it may result to dryness. Using warm water on your face is one way on how to have healthy aging skin. In addition, it is necessary to remove make up in the evening before sleeping. Skincare treatment are literally everywhere and it is a fact that most of these treatments do not have strong effective ingredients. For instance, an effective anti-wrinkle agent is vitamin E and a good skincare product must contain at least one-half percent of the total treatment product. There are only few skincare treatments that have enough vitamin E.</p>
<p> 
<p>It is necessary to use the best treatments for aging skin regularly to get the best benefits. You cannot get the outmost effect if you only use your moisturize once in a while. Make sure to use your skincare treatment regularly and faithfully. In addition, moisturizers are more absorbed when skin is a little warm and moist. Skincare creams are better used right after taking a shower. Remember to take care of your skin gently.</p>
<p> 
<p>One of the best treatments for aging skin is drinking filtered water to help in eliminating body toxins. Filtered water also helps in losing weight, and moisturizing the body from the inside, making it healthy and soft. Considering your diet is also necessary. Sugary and processed foods must be avoided. Instead, eat plenty of foods that are high in protein such as fish, nuts and meat. If you want to stay young, look young and feel young, a twenty-minute walk everyday is beneficial. Moreover, have an adequate sleep and rest to keep your body healthy.</p>
<p> 
<p>Nutritional supplements including fish oil capsules are also best treatments for aging skin. Fish oil provides essential fatty acids that help in nourishing the cells and lessen aches and pains. If you are considering skincare products, choose the ones that are chemical free. Chemicals tend to add toxins in the body.</p>

<p>Packaging is the third largest industry in America valued at $110 billion per annum. It is estimated that there are 350 billion packages which comprise of the tiniest item in pharmaceuticals to supersacks used that are used to carry thousands of pounds of content and which can withstand rigorous transport.</p>
<p><strong>Product Packaging Design</strong><br />Consider what product packaging design does to your product:</p>
<ul>
<p> 
<li>Most importantly, packaging identifies your brand. </li>
<p> 
<li>Packaging communicates with the consumer and presents an image, displays the product and also provides instructions for its use.</li>
<p> 
<li>Packaging distinguishes your product from your competitor’s in its design, color, and shape. </li>
<p> 
<li> Packaging is your product’s promotional advertisement. It is the last thing the consumer sees about your product before making a decision to purchase it.</li>
<p> </ul>
<p>To see how important product label design is, take the case of DermaQuest which produces a line of skincare products. Although their products are of high quality, their initial packaging was not impressive and did not say much about their product. After working with a team of professional designers and branding houses their skincare products were given a totally new makeover. Allyson Rogers, director of education at DermaQuest said, &#8220;It&#8217;s made a huge difference. It&#8217;s helped us get into new doors that we weren&#8217;t in before. This is something that appeals to doctors. It&#8217;s clean, scientific and elegant-looking.&#8221; The new look resulted in doubling their sales.</p>
<p>Generally packaging works out to 10% of the retail cost of a product. However this margin would go up or down considering the product you are selling. Cosmetic and electronic manufacturers may spend up to 40% or more of the product cost on packaging, as would gift items. An attractively packaged product makes all the difference at the point of sale. The extra care and cost required to produce an attractive package are more than covered through increase in sales. </p>
<p>Sanjay Sood, associate professor of marketing at UCLA&#8217;s Anderson School of Management said, &#8220;Packaging may provide consumers with some sort of interest or incentive that can help get customers to try it, but for repeat buys, that&#8217;s where the product will live or die on its own.&#8221; </p>
<p>There is a psychology to a consumer’s selection of a product and it depends on <a href="http://www.nutricaplabs.com/packaging-design.asp">product design and packaging</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Points to Consider in Product Label Design:</strong></p>
<ul>
<p> 
<li>Packaging should be functional.</p>
<ul>
<p> 
<li>It should protect your product against any kind of damage or deterioration. </li>
<p> 
<li>It should also be able to withstand transport and shipping. </li>
<p> 
<li>It should be environmentally friendly</li>
<p> 
<li>It should be easy to open and the product easy to use.</li>
<p> 
<li>It should be tamper proof. </li>
<p> </ul>
<p> </li>
<p> 
<li>Packaging should have consumer appeal, a distinctiveness that makes your product stand out against a hundred other products on the shelf.</li>
<p> 
<li>Packaging, labeling and any additional information should be designed keeping in mind the profile of your target consumer. Understand your market and target them specifically. Packaging for a generic audience can confuse the consumer.</li>
<p> 
<li>Packaging should help build your brand image. It’s about communicating your product and building a relationship with your consumers through your brand image.</li>
<p> 
<li>Packaging should stand out against your competitor’s products.</li>
<p> </ul>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.nutricaplabs.com/label-design-printing.asp">Product Label Design</a>: Health Supplements</strong></p>
<ul>
<p> 
<li>Labeling on health supplements is important. Labels on the package should contain Supplement Facts about the ingredients and their nutritive value and comply with other FDA guidelines regarding dietary supplements. </li>
<p> 
<li>Additional information on the package on how the product works could provide the consumer incentive information that will help the consumer to make an educated decision over your competitor’s products. </li>
<p> 
<li>Promotional leaflets inside the packaging can help consumers to be more aware of the product and how it beneficially impacts the consumer’s health. This can build credibility and trust. These leaflets can also be used to introduce other products in your line of production.</li>
<p> 
<li>Adding one or more health claims on health products could boost your sales by 20% . This was the conclusion of an online study conducted by National Starch. Consumer perception was tested for leading brands of bread, nutrition bars and cereals. It was found that consumers began placing a higher value on these products when the packaging was altered to include additional health claims such as: “increases dietary fiber inake”, &#8220;promotes a healthy digestive system&#8221;, &#8220;helps to control blood sugar highs,&#8221; &#8220;provides a balance of energy&#8221; and &#8220;delivers prebiotic properties.&#8221;</li>
<p> </ul>
<p>ackaging trends are changing constantly. There are new innovations all the time. Keeping abreast of packaging and label trends will give your products a competitive edge.</p>

<p>The average female is always in search of ways to improve her look or alter her appearance. Most of the techniques women should use to guarantee smooth skin as they age are preventive. Getting 7-10 hours of sleep a night can give your skin the natural glow and moisture balance it needs daily. Include 8-10 glasses a day in your diet to help you get rid of toxins in the body that detract from the skin’s firmness and oxygen flow, so your skin tone looks even and moisturized.</p>
<p>The eye area is the most vulnerable part of your face, subject to blinking, rubbing and squinting on a regular basis. It is very important to pick the right eye cream for your particular needs. A good quality eye cream must be lightweight and glide on easily. Avoid the product if it cannot be “tapped on” easily. Eye creams can cost you a lot of money, so visit cosmetic counters and get samples before deciding on a specific brand.</p>
<p>Using a facial mask:</p>
<p>1.Select a mask suitable for your skin type</p>
<p>2.After a complete cleaning and exfoliation, apply a moisturizing mask. It is only necessary to wash the face superficially before using a cleansing and purifying mask</p>
<p>3.Use a very mild exfoliating cream before applying an anti-aging mask on dry skin. Taking care to avoid lip and eye areas, lightly apply a thin layer of the mask with your fingers</p>
<p>4.Take care to apply a very thin layer of the mask, so that the skin does not suffer from over-application</p>
<p>5.Take off mask with a tissue or moist cotton pad</p>
<p>Facial exfoliators and facemasks are treatments that mend damage and keep your skin looking healthy. From avocado facemasks to oatmeal scrubs, there are many natural treatments available. Exfoliators scrub away the surface layer of skin, while facemasks nourish and treat the skin. Follow the directions on the packet before using either of these products.</p>
<p>If you’re struggling with a skin condition, for example rosacea, use serious sun protection: limit sun contact, wear hats, and use broad-spectrum sunscreens with SPF15 or higher. Keep away from intense hot and cold temperatures. Self-treatment with over-the-counter medicines is not suggested. It’s best to check with a dermatologist to develop a treatment routine modified to your individual situation.</p>
<p>The skin on your face is the most fragile on your body, owing to the exposure it receives. In order to stay youthful, healthy and beautiful, your facial skin needs special care:</p>
<p>1.Clean your face gently</p>
<p>2.Use toner in moderation</p>
<p>3.Make eye cream a part of your regimen</p>
<p>4.Moisturize generously</p>
<p>5.Protect your face from unnecessary sun damage</p>

<p>Stay Beautiful in Your 30s</p>
<p>Aging, career highs and lows, even pregnancy can lead to some changes in your complexion and well-being. You may start noticing a few fine lines around the eyes and mouth, dullness in your skin, or adult acne.</p>
<p>Problem: Wrinkles around the eyes</p>
<p>The eyes have it &#8211; thinner, more-sensitive skin, that is. While regular facial moisturizers can keep the skin supple, eye creams usually contain lower concentrations of active ingredients and fewer preservatives, so they are gentler.</p>
<p>Make sure the cream you choose includes the basics, such as sunscreen and antioxidants. If you need a little extra help, look for ingredients like caffeine and magnolia extract to reduce puffiness; coneflower to cool and soothe or vitamin K to lessen dark under-eye circles.</p>
<p>Skin care is retarding the ageing process. Here are a few tips for proactive anti-aging skin care: </p>
<p>1. Exfoliate. The 30s is the decade when cell turnover begins to slow down, leading to dull, uneven skin tone. Counter this with regular exfoliation and moisturizing treatments that contain alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs)</p>
<p>2. See spot treatments. Pregnancy may cause hormonal upheavals that can result in melasma, also called &#8220;mask of pregnancy&#8221; ( dark patches on the skin). Use gentle skin- lightening products that can contain vitamin C and licorice extract.</p>
<p>3. Take your vitamins. A single multivitamin provides you most of the vitamins and minerals you need. Doctors may also recommend calcium supplements. </p>
<p>4. Get moving. Strengthen your bones and muscles with weight training.</p>
<p>5. Drink a lot of water: Skin care can&#8217;t be any simpler than this. Water helps in flushing out the toxins from the body, hence keeping it clean and making it less prone to disease. Around 8 glasses of water (per day) is recommended by all doctors. <br />
6. Avoid the use of strong, chemical based products on your skin. Natural skin care products are a good option. Use of organic skin care products (home made or commercial) can be a very effective anti-aging skin care measure.</p>
<p>7. Keep your makeup clean. Replace the sponges in your compact on a regular basis. Now and then, toss the whole works and start fresh &#8212; the average shelf life for cosmetics is 6 to 12 months. Don&#8217;t buy products so expensive that you&#8217;ll be heartbroken if you have to throw them away.</p>
<p>8. Do not overuse skin care products. Excessive and harsh application, both are harmful.</p>
<p>9. Protect yourself from the sun &#8212; use sunscreen and avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 and 2.</p>
<p>10. Don&#8217;t &#8212; I repeat &#8212; don&#8217;t smoke. Your skin is a large organ and it needs a lot of circulation. Smoking impairs that dramatically. That&#8217;s why smokers&#8217; skin looks dull and gray. Instead of having oxy-generated blood delivered to the surface of the skin, they&#8217;re getting poisons and oxidants.</p>
<p>11. Many studies have been done over the years demonstrating the healing and physiological properties of bovine colostrum. Colostrum helps the immune system to function more efficiently, maintain peak performance and fight acne causing bacteria. </p>
<p>Colostrum supplies growth factors (hormones) as well as stimulating the endocrine system to keep producing its own supply of hormones. Research strongly indicates that  the combination of growth and immune factors in colostrum works together to create a potent anti-aging effect, including tighter skin, and regrowth of cells and tissue of organs that normally decrease in size with age.</p>
<p>Daily supplementation on Bovine Colostrum allows the body to have improved resilience against any type of stress. Overall health and well being is accomplished when the body has all of the necessary factors it needs for defense, healing and repair.</p>
<p>If you have special skin issues, such as stubborn acne, rosacea, or extremely sensitive or oily skin, the best thing to do is to seek out the advice of a professional dermatologist. </p>
<p>Pretty, healthy skin is well within your grasp, with a little bit of awareness, determination and persistence on your part. The results are definitely worth it. Live juicy and be happy with your largest organ! </p>

<p>Stay Beautiful In Your 20s</p>
<p>In your 20s, your skin is smooth but has occasional breakouts. Focus on unclogging pores and moisturizing. And don&#8217;t forget to use sunscreen!</p>
<p>Skin-Care Tips</p>
<p>1. Washing your face, particularly with hot water, strips it of its natural oils. Be sure to use a gentle, moisturizing cleanser instead of soap, and follow up with a light moisturizer.</p>
<p>2. Avoid exposure to the sun: damage from the sun now will show up later as sun spots and wrinkles.</p>
<p>3. They don&#8217;t call it beauty sleep for nothing. Apply night cream before tucking up, and wake up to a beautifully moisturized complexion.</p>
<p>4. Don&#8217;t forget to hydrate from the inside, too. Drink at least two-and-a-half litres of water each day.</p>
<p>5. Squeezing a pimple can lead to permanent scarring. Apply a warm compress to help bring a blemish to the surface, then apply a spot treatment will absorb more quickly and dry it out faster.</p>
<p>6. Review your daily regimen. If you&#8217;re still using the oil- and acne-control products of your teen years, start reevaluating your skin today. Oil glands are not working as hard now so some products may be too harsh for you.</p>
<p>7. Cleanse, tone and moisturize. Now is the time to get a good moisturize with an SPF of at least 15. If you still have excessive oil or acne, get an oil-free formula.</p>
<p>8. Dump junk food. Your on-the-go lifestyle probably combines lots of work and socializing, which means less time to cook. But too much sugar, fat and coffee can speed up aging. Exchange a few burgers for salads, and it will surely make your skin younger.</p>
<p>9. Exercise. Fitness is for life, so the saying goes. Go to the gym, or take up badminton or yoga.</p>
<p>10. Overall body check. Don&#8217;t neglect your hair and feet. These, too, get old and sun damaged, and need protection and pampering.</p>
<p>11. Many studies have been done over the years demonstrating the healing and physiological properties of bovine colostrum. Colostrum helps the immune system to function more efficiently, maintain peak performance and fight acne causing bacteria. </p>
<p>Colostrum supplies growth factors (hormones) as well as stimulating the endocrine system to keep producing its own supply of hormones. Research strongly indicates that  the combination of growth and immune factors in colostrum works together to create a potent anti-aging effect, including tighter skin, and regrowth of cells and tissue of organs that normally decrease in size with age.</p>
