We saw specifically C-reactive protein was lowered, and we saw other markers of muscle health that, while they didn't make statistical significance, they were trending that way.” “It stays very potent and very localized– a benefit to the skin. So you're having that same cellular turnover of the mitochondria, basically making the mitochondria in your skin act in a more youthful way.” “Even just after 2 weeks, we start to see improvements that are visibly noticeable. And then when we take that out to 8 weeks, it's statistically significant improvements in wrinkle reduction and in wrinkle depth.
