Science
Mechanism of Action
This extract operates as a potent Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) activator, upregulating the 'longevity proteins' responsible for DNA repair and cellular resilience. By enhancing mitochondrial energy efficiency and reducing oxidative markers, it creates an optimal environment for the synthesis of essential structural proteins like collagen and elastin.
Research
Clinical Evidence
High confidence1%
Key findings
- 01 In-vitro fibroblast analysis demonstrated significant SIRT1 expression stimulation at concentrations as low as 0.1%, facilitating enhanced cellular repair.
- 02 Clinical evaluation of an anti-aging complex containing 1.0%–5.0% of the extract showed measurable gains in skin firmness and a visible reduction in fine lines over an 8-week period.
Transparency
Dusting Analysis
Because this ingredient is effective in-vitro at very low levels (0.1%), many brands include it at 'label claim' concentrations. To achieve the firming results seen in clinical consumer trials, a concentration of at least 1.0% is recommended.
