C-ESTAMINS with BioCell by Jan Marini Promotes Energy and Provides Support for Enhanced Well-Being and Longevity C-ESTAMINS are the most advanced and comprehensive anti-aging nutritional supplement available today. C-ESTAMINS supplies many critical components that have been shown to promote energy and provide support for enhanced well-being and longevity. Our once-daily packets are also formulated to assist in noticeably improving the appearance of aging and sun-damaged skin. Patented BioCell Technology C-ESTAMINS contains a patented technology called BioCell Collagen II®. BioCell has been the focus of two double blind placebo controlled studies that confirm the effects of BioCell on factors that influence skin elasticity and volume, improving skin texture and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. BioCell is a revolutionary discovery that addresses one of the common denominators in aging: loss of connective tissue. Connective tissue helps to give form and structure by acting as a "filler agent" and providing volume. Rejuvenating Hyaluronic Acid One of the primary components involved in this process is Hyaluronic Acid, a water-filled gel. The human body produces approximately 3,000 milligrams of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) daily. Because we lose Hyaluronic Acid each day, our body constantly produces more in order to replenish daily loss. As we age, sun exposure and factors such as a decline in hormones cause a sharp drop in our internal concentrations of HA. By the time we are 40 years of age, most people are producing significantly lower levels of HA. Some of the highest levels of HA are found in the skin. Many researchers believe that if we could maintain or increase our levels of HA, we would prevent many of the outward signs of aging such as wrinkles and sagging skin. Replenishing Hyaluronic Acid Orally What if we could increase our internal levels of HA? Unfortunately, topical application, such as moisturizers contain extremely large molecules that can only help to lock in existing surface moisture. BioCell is a breakthrough technology where the HA molecule has been reduced and combined with other constituents of connective tissue into a natural matrix. Taken orally, BioCell is easily absorbed by the body. It is the most potent and well documented substance of this type shown to increase internal stores of HA and visibly improve the appearance of skin. Benefits to Patients More than half of the body's HA is found in the skin.
