Land Snails Produce a Serum with Organic Copper Peptides which Aid in Skin Healing

Skin Revitalizer

Copper Peptides in the Restorative Secretion of Snails Help to Enhance Skin Healing and Minimize Post Burn Scars.

Abnormally repaired wounds feature incorrect or abnormal accumulation of collagen and imperfect skin cell layering.

A class of compounds called -copper peptides- has been developed in the laboratory for their ability to reorganize the process of injury repairing by diminishing scar development and improving skin remodeling and they are present naturally in the complex biological ingredient that is essential in our products.

For years, the only source of this ingredient has been those created in a laboratory using soy proteins after the pionnering work of Dr. Loren Pickart. Dr. Pickart is a biochemist who postulated this ground-breaking theory that copper peptides have skin remodeling properties, activate and are integral to the cycle of skin renewal (www.skinbiology.com). We could now say that their presence in the secretions that snails use to repair their skin, which is very similar in its cells and structures to human skin, validates the important biological functions Dr. Pickart attributed to them.

What exactly are copper peptides and how can they change the biological response to injuries? Generally speaking, peptides are small fragments of proteins. (And the proteins are one of the key construction blocks of most living cells, the other are complex carbohydrates or sugar chains and DNA.) Some kinds of peptides have a tremendous affinity for copper, to which they bind very closely. The final compound consisting of a peptide and a copper atom has become known as a copper peptide.

The secretions collected from snails provide the only natural source of these molecules as they have glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) that tightly bind divalent copper cations Cu +2 and peptides: copper peptides.

Dr Pickart found copper peptides while doing investigations that tried to reverse certain effects of aging in animals. Since then, GHK-Cu and certain other copper-peptides, have been found to accelerate the regeneration and repair process of various kinds of animal tissues.

Studies, at numerous universities and research centers, have found that copper-peptides:

• Speed up injury repair (humans, mice, rats, guinea pigs, pigs, dogs)
• Increase skin re-epithelialization (humans, animals)
• Elevate skin graft transplant success (pigs)
• Elevate hair transplant success (humans)
• GHK analogs with fatty residue analogs enlarge hair follicle size, activate hair growth and reduce hair loss (humans, mice, rats). Increases hair growth after chemotherapy (rats)
• Counter aging effects on skin (humans)
• Thickens skin, shrinks small and large wrinkles, reduces blotchiness and blemishes, improves elasticity, and increases keratinocyte and fibroblast production, thickens the subcutaneous fat layer
• Stimulate bone repairing (guinea pigs, pigs, rabbits)
• Cure stomach ulcers (rats)
• Cure injured intestinal linings(humans, rats)
• Avoid oxidative damage in tissues.
• Restore normal function in livers affected by toxins(rats)
• Various anti-inflammatory actions
  (reduces liberation of oxidizing iron, TNF-alpha, TGF-beta-1, IL-1)

Several substances can have a beneficial effect on wound repairing. A particular feature of copper peptides is that they diminish scar tissue formation while stimulating normal skin rebuilding. In other words, they help return the injured area to its original looks.

The process of copper peptide action is somewhat complex. Copper bound to aminoacids induces the degradation of "extra-large" collagen aggregates found in scars and promotes the synthesis of smaller more regular collagen found in normal skin. It also promotes the generation of elastin, proteoglycans, glycosaminoglycans, and other parts of the skin matrix. Other crucial effects of Copper Peptides include the ability to manage the growth rate and distribution of several kinds of cells; important anti-inflammatory action; and the ability to avoid the liberation of oxidation-promoting iron into the tissues. The final result is a faster, better and "cleaner" resolution of wounds.

Can copper peptides be useful for normal skin protection and renewal?

While the biosynthesis and breakdown of collagen, elastin, and water-holding GAGs are in a continuous balance in young healthy skin, after age 25 the skin's synthesis of collagen, elastin, and the water-holding GAGs is reduced while the rate of breakdown of these factors is raised and starts wrinkle development and loss of elasticity. The problem becomes progressively more accentuated with passing years. The good news is there are now natural snail glycoconjugates that contain copper peptides as part of complex biological activators of skin repair and remodeling that can counteract this process.

The available evidence showed the following potential skin benefits of copper peptides:

Several existing skin care treatments are based on the idea of removing the outermost or even deeper layers of skin. The resulting healing process stimulates skin remodeling, leading to smoother, younger looking skin. Since copper peptides improve healing and optimize skin remodeling, they can raise the effect of treatments based on various kinds of controlled skin damage. In particular, copper peptides can be useful after various kinds of laser resurfacing, dermabrasion, and chemical peels.

Copper peptides are useful against various kinds of skin irritation, mainly thanks to their anti-inflammatory effects. Skin irritation, even in the absence of open injuries, greatly accelerates skin aging by stimulating the production of free radicals and other toxic undesirable products. Some common skin rejuvenation treatments, such as tretinoin (Retin A, Renova) and alpha hydroxy acids can cause irritation. If during treatment you experience skin irritation for an extended period of time, your skin will possibly end up in worse condition than when you started. In many cases, copper peptides can diminish or eliminate the irritation and help maximize treatment benefits.

It is always easier to avoid the damage than to fix it later. To a high degree, skin aging is caused by the accumulation of minor day-to-day damage from sun, wind, detergents, acne, abrasions and so forth. As these tiny lesions heal, they form microscopic imperfections, which eventually accumulate to become manifest signs of aging. Glycoconjugates containing copper peptides can help minimize the damage from daily wear and tear of the skin. For instance, one study demonstrated that copper peptides helped heal skin integrity after exposure to SLS, a current detergent found in many shampoos, cleansers, and dishwashing/laundry products.

Can copper peptides reverse wrinkles and other signs of aging in flawless skin?

Yes, because copper peptides promote the degradation of unusually large cross-linked collagen (the one found in scars and, to a lesser degree, in wrinkles). They also activate the synthesis of "normal" collagen found in normal skin. In one small study, copper peptides stimulated collagen production in flawless skin. In fact, in that study, copper peptides induced a stronger stimulation of collagen production than tretinoin (Retin A, Renova) or ascorbate (vitamin C). While formal investigations have shown the helpful effects on photo-aged skin from the daily use for 4 to 8 weeks of cosmetic solutions with the snail secretions, which contain copper peptides and complex glycoconjugates.

While moderate use of synthetic copper peptides promotes collagen production and has antioxidant effect (by triggering the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase), exaggerated use of synthetic copper peptides extracted from soy proteins can have an undesirable effect by raising the levels of free copper. Free copper leads to free radical damage and collagen breakdown, leading to premature skin aging. These problems don't seem to occur among the majority of copper peptide users. However, there are occasional reports indicating that such side-effects might happen with overuse or, rarely, even normal use in sensitive individuals. This does not happen at all with even prolonged use of snail glycoconjugates.

Thus, copper peptides found as part of the complex glycoconjugates created by land snails are a healthy and effective skin treatment. Their potential to optimize the repairing of various kinds of skin lesions is well studied. And the snail secretions slow down the arriving of the signs of skin aging by restricting the effects of daily wear and tear. Also, the snail secretions have an effect on skin renewal due to the presence in them of enzymes that degrade damaged proteins into their amino-acid components and trigger an orchestrated reconstructing and remodeling of the skin tissues.

What makes the copper peptides in BIOSKINCARE efficient and safe?

A natural cosmetic product, not a drug or pharmaceutical product.

BIOSKINCARE ™ is fabricated with the natural secretions from a land snail (Helix Aspersa Muller), the same they use to quickly repair their own skin and shell when injured. It is a viscose liquid that is made into an odorless white cream.

Study of the mucin has shown that it contains activators of skin growth factors, glycosaminoglycans that tightly bind divalent copper cations Cu +2, natural anti-inflammatory and immune modulating proteins, glycoproteins, antimicrobial peptides, and sulfated glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) as protein-free polysaccharide.

Unlike harsh chemicals and physical processing typically used to create protein supplements, which unfortunately denatures (destroys) the natural structure of proteins yielding something that is not completely absorbed and utilized by the human body, the proteic secretions of the snail are taken as they are naturally to make them into our product, without any process that may denature them and on the contrary their bio-availabity for living cells is completely preserved.

Double blind experiments comparing placebo to the active product on one side of the face compared to the other using objective procedures to appraise wrinkle depth have demonstrated improvement in this parameter as well as skin smoothness, suppleness, and decrease of hiperpigmentation in more than 80% of subjects studied. Most people have seen improvements in as little as two weeks when they have used BIOSKINCARE ™ cream twice a day every day.

Topical use of BIOSKINCARE ™ is also a strong message that signals to your system that it is being taking care of in a balanced and proper way, with all the ingredients that help it quicken the natural skin healing process.

Use of the product night and day for a period of 2 months yields: Reduction in wrinkles depth; Increase in collagen and elastin from within the deep layers of the skin, giving skin firmness; Optimization of the water retention ability of healthy skin, reducing sagging and fragility; Decrease of age spots,melasma,hyperpigmentation,dark pigmentation; Reduction of atopic dermatitis; Restoration of the normal skin color of those affected by hiperpigmentation in people of all skin colors, including African, Asian & Latin.

BIOSKINCARE ™ helps your skin rebuild and moisturize itself! There is nothing like it! It has been used on age lines, skin allergies, diabetic sores, boils, chilblains, diaper rash, athlete's foot, infected nails, skin ulcers, abrasions, insect bites/stings, age spots, acne and stretch marks and other skin problems and conditions.
