If you knew that it was possible to slow down skin aging, would you do it? Rhetorical question, we would all do it. Then you will be interested in what follows. The Novexpert Doctors have discovered one of the keys to longevity thanks to an amazing people, living far from our European habits. Far from keeping this secret to themselves, they have used their knowledge to benefit your skin. We explain how.
Discover the people who naturally found one of the keys to youth
Imagine a people who live in good health, for more than 100 years, where the elderly live at home, without retirement homes, and enjoy the outdoors every day. A people where skin aging seems to slow down despite the sun, wind or sea spray. This people exists. It is on a Japanese island, called Okinawa. This island has 3 times more centenarians than in European countries. How is this possible and how can we do the same? The Novexpert Doctors discovered it more than 15 years ago and are sharing it with you today. Hint: it is not a question of genetics, but almost.
Longevity is in 3 letters: EPI. EPIgenetics
The story of Okinawa and Novexpert is so unexpected that it could begin with "Once upon a time". Cyrille, founder of Novexpert Laboratories, discovered Okinawa by chance. A chance due to his passion for surfing. With his team of doctors, they then looked for the secret of these active centenarians. Was the key to this in a new gene that could create "super grannies"? No, not really. But DNA still came into play. The people of Okinawa managed the feat of activating a gene, the SIRT-1 gene, nicknamed the "youth gene" by scientists. Once "turned on", this gene produces proteins, sirtuins, which protect and repair cells so that they are healthy for longer.
We all have this youth gene, but for most of us, it is deactivated, "turned off". Managing to activate a gene (or deactivate it) without modifying the DNA, that is epigenetics.
Epigenetics: in a few years your doctor will only talk about it
Genes can be thought of as light bulbs, they can be turned on (active) or off (inactive). And who controls the light bulbs? The switch. At the biological level, this switch can be our lifestyle: diet, stress, physical activity... or the environment in which we live. What is important to understand is that genes are not modified but only expressed or not.
The news we've all been waiting for: how to activate the youth gene?
Eat less to live more, that's a phrase that could sum up the Okinawan philosophy. They practice "Hara hichi Bun me". Translation: eat until 80% of your satiety, or practice a small daily caloric restriction. This practice, accompanied by a low-calorie diet (vegetables, fish, fruits) is their secret to turning on the youth gene. Researchers have reproduced this caloric restriction in animals and the results are more than convincing: lifespan multiplied by 2, even 3.
As you might expect, the Novexpert Doctors have created a product to limit hunger… No, not really. Let’s continue.
Novaxyline: Slow down skin aging effortlessly
Inspired by these promises of longevity, the Novexpert team has developed an innovative, unique and patented active ingredient capable of activating the youth gene within skin cells. Thus offering the possibility of slowing down skin aging without depriving yourself of dessert. The Doctors have given the name "Novaxyline" to this biological switch, which increases the production of sirtuins by more than 20%. This active ingredient, which you will only find in Novexpert products, is born from the combination of a specific algae and prebiotic. Novaxyline has made Novexpert Laboratories pioneers of epigenetics in cosmetics.
Novaxyline, mechanic and bodyguard of skin cells
How does Novaxyline work to slow down skin aging?
It is a mechanic, or rather it stimulates the mechanics that repair our cells in case of error. They are called the actors of autophagy, they repair or eliminate damaged elements of the cells, thus protecting the skin from accelerated aging. In the presence of sirtuins, the actors of autophagy increase by 40%, thus taking care of cellular quality. Which is not negligible when we know that with age, these mechanics are less effective.
And that's not all, Novaxyline is a bodyguard for stem cells. These cells are privileged because they are almost "immortal" and can create other cells indefinitely. Everything seems perfect, but not really... Over time, they become less receptive to signals, leading to a slowdown in cell renewal. Thanks to Novaxyline, they remain active for longer and, this time, ensure the right amount of cells.
Time to practice to make your skin look a few years younger
Now that you know how to slow down skin aging, here's what you can do today to boost sirtuin production.
Our discoveries result in the creation of healthy, safe and proven effective products that contain this famous Novaxyline. The range Pro-Collagen is the one that contains the most. At Novexpert, the slowing down of skin aging is not only observed in the lab, it can be seen on the skin: -38% of wrinkles in 28 days thanks to Pro-collagen Booster Serum For example.
On the nutraceutical side, several active ingredients such as resveratrol, quercetin and vitamin B3 can help in the synthesis of sirtuins. This surprising trio is found in the food supplement Peau Repulpée.
Finally, on a daily basis, a diet rich in Omega 3 (camelina oil, rapeseed oil, sardines, etc.) or Vitamin B12 (royal jelly, oysters, etc.) as well as the practice of yoga and meditation would also increase sirtuin levels.
Passionate, curious and insatiable, Novexpert researchers observe the world to decipher its secrets and share them with your skin. More than beauty makers, we want to be knowledge transmitters. The example of Okinawa and Novaxyline to slow down skin aging is just one chapter in the Novexpert adventure, which continues to be written.
