A new study is taking the anti-aging power of antioxidants to
the next level for fighting wrinkles. A researcher at The Hebrew
University of Jerusalem has succeeded in isolating a plant-based
antioxidant that counters the breakdown of collagen fibers in
the skin. Unlike antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, which
oxidize quickly becoming less potent from heat and time, this
new discovery is a stable antioxidant that is more effective in
combating the effects of free radicals that leads to aging. The
plant source of the antioxidant has not been disclosed yet
because the research is being patented. The researcher plans to
use it to develop a new generation of anti-aging skincare
products.
