Ingredients Highlights
PhytoCellTecTM Stem Cell Extracts
One of the main natural ingredients enhanced in Cellifez is PhytoCellTec™ Stem Cell Extracts, specifically:
PhytoCellTec™ Md Nu – Apple Stem Cell Extract
PhytoCellTec™ Sv Nu – Grape Stem Cell Extract
What is PhytoCellTecTM?
PhytoCellTecTM is a new biotechnology that successfully generates and cultivates plant stem cells. Stem cells are full of essential properties that heal and repair body cells effectively.
What are stem cells?
The human body is known to continuously renew and repair cells every second. Our organs and tissues go through on-going processes of recovery and rejuvenation while these processes are made possible with sufficient supply of adult stem cells, to regenerate new cells to replace aging or dead cells.
PhytoCellTec™ Md Nu is an active ingredient derived from a kind of apple, Uttwiler Spätlauber apple fruit stem cells from Switzerland. Clinical research has shown that it strengthens skin elasticity, density and firmness. Hence, PhytoCellTec™ Md Nu is best known for its functions in rejuvenating skin cells, reducing wrinkles and slowing down aging process.
A study showed that the colony-forming efficiency of epidermal stem cells was higher with greater concentration of PhytoCellTec™ Md Nu. (see diagram)
In normal condition, old stem cells stop regenerate and no longer multiply. However, accordingto research, when PhytoCellTec™ Md Nu was added into the old stem cell cultivation, the stem cells continued to regenerate new cells. This showed that the epidermal stem cells regained the ability to produce new tissues. (see diagram)
Another clinical test showed that PhytoCellTec™ Md Nu is effect to reduce wrinkles. An emulsion with 2% PhytoCellTec™ Md Nu was applied on wrinkled skin on 20 subjects, aged 37 to 64, for more than 28 days. The results showed visible improvement among all the subjects. (see diagram)
PhytoCellTec™ Sv Nu is derived from stem cells from a kind of grape, Gamay Teinturier Fréaux grape of Burgundy, France, which is very concentrated with polyphenols, an effective UV protection agent.
Research showed that PhytoCellTec™ Sv Nu protects epidermal stem cells from UV-ray damage and reduces aging effects induced by light. It also improves vitality of stem cells, restoring skin youthfulness and resistance.
According to a study, the colony-forming efficiency of stem cells improved with concentration of PhytoCellTec™ Sv Nu. (see diagram)
Study also showed that UV rays strongly decelerate cells’ colony forming efficiency by 58%, but cells treated with PhytoCellTec™ Sv Nu were not affected by UV rays. It also showed improvement in its colony forming efficiency. (see diagram)
XanMax® Marigold Flower Extract
Cellifez is also enhanced with a XanMax® Marigold Flower Extract, rich with two natural antioxidants and carotenoids – lutein and zeaxanthin. Due to their unique chemistry and structure, lutein and zeaxanthin stabilize cell structures to protect cells from oxidative agents internally and externally. These ingredients are beneficial to our eyes and vision.
Study showed that lutein effectively reduces risks of progression to advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Macular pigment is a part of the retina that is important to our vision. In another study, it is also suggested that lutein and zeaxanthin may have higher prevention function from cataract.
HithionTM Torula Yeast Extract
Another natural ingredient found in Cellifez is HithionTM Torula Yeast Extract. Yeast extract is rich with amino acids, minerals, nucleotides, and vitamins, and is commonly used as food ingredients or microbial culture. HithionTM Torula Yeast Extract, a rich antioxidant agent, contains extremely high content of glutathione and is recognized by the FDA as edible yeast.
Studies showed that a decline in glutathione level in the body is usually due to stress, fatigue, consumption of alcohol beverages, smoking and excessive energy loss. This will accelerates the aging process and deteriorates organ functions quickly. Hence, HithionTM Torula Yeast Extract acts to boost glutathione level, and gradually rejuvenates liver functions and overall body stamina.
