That's correct!  A brand new study finds that lowly vegetable extracts may hold the key to helping your skin repair and reverse the aging process!

Korean scientists are arguably the most advanced in the area of skin health and skin aging.   In fact, most advanced skin rejuvenation products come out of that country.

For example, the wildly popular B and B creams emanated from Korea.  Our skin rejuvenation products evolved from a large body of Koreanaswell as personal research.

 Now, in a recent study published in the journal Nutrition Research it's suggested that vegetable extracts and derivatives, in addition to their other natural health benefits,  actually encourage live collagen production in the skin.

According to the study scientists, vegetable derivatives were shown to increase the level of type 1 collagen in the skin's fibroblasts. The derivatives used in the study were vegetable peptones -- peptides taken from vegetable substances -- that were then applied to skin to test for their effect on natural collagen production.

The collagen molecule is the human body's main fibrous and structural protein, and makes up about 30% of all proteins in the body. It is primarily responsible for keeping skin elastic and youthful in appearance, which is why collagen creams and supplements are a popular way to restore collagen among people looking for natural rejuvenation of their skin. These study results suggest that the" vegetable peptones are involved in attenuating skin aging, possibly by promoting cell proliferation and type 1 procollagen production," the study's authors wrote.

Even better is the fact that collagen production was shown to increase as the amount of vegetable extracts applied to skin was increased. The higher the concentration of vegetable peptones, the higher the amount of collagen produced, the study found.

The Nutrition Research study's findings are brand new, and it's likely that further research on the impact of vegetable peptones on collagen production will have to take place before a product using vegetable derivatives hits the market.

Skin health is one of my specialties.  We recently also discussed HA as another miracle ingredient and I will post many more articles such as how to alleviate hormonal acne beginning with our new events calendar next month.
