What is the cause of aging and how can it be stopped?Before I worried about the cause of aging, when I was in my 20’s, my skin produced abundant amounts of collagen and elastin, the structural proteins of skin. My skin felt firm and tight and resilient at that time. 
But as I aged, I was exposed to free radicals from some unknown source that caused my skin to wrinkle and sag. Other sources were more identifiable such as the effects of the sun and pollution of the air and water. While products with sunscreens or anti-oxidants can protect my skin from these external sources, new research indicates that these sources are not the only means by which we age. What then is the cause of aging? New research at Purdue University has revealed a previously hidden source of aging within each of us - an internal free radical generator, known as age-related enzyme NOX or arNOX, in the epidermis or outer layer of our skin. And our genes control its activity. Shown here are the free radical nodules on the surface of the skin cell’s membrane that every 5 to 7 years explode open releasing natural free radicals that damage the skin overnight. From one day to the next you look old. 
These nodules increase as we get older, but unlike the sun, there is no place to hide. This invisible enemy is capable of generating free radicals around the clock. They destroy collagen and elastin. The result is that you are looking years older than you really are. This internal free radical generator is so aggressive that anti-oxidants alone cannot prevent its age-accelerating effects. The solution is to slow the production of these skin damaging free radicals at their source and stop the visible signs of aging before they start. In an additional research breakthrough, Nu Skin scientists have recently identified an exclusive blend of ingredients that slow production of free radicals in the epidermis. This is called ageLOC® which has been included in the Galvanic Spa gels as recently as January of 2009. 
It is an exciting... exclusive and patented skin technology that only Nu Skin has in the anti wrinkle, anti aging market. Of course ageLOC® is infused into the skin using the Galvanic Spa 2, known as the “wrinkle iron.” No one else has this anti aging skin care treatment system that is so easy to use at home. This is such an important breakthrough that it is estimated that Galvanic Spa sales will reach $500,000,000 in the next 12 months. -> Return to home page from cause of aging |
