Amino Acids Show Significant Results in Reversing Aging Skin

NEW YORK, Oct. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- It's no secret that doctors have tried for years to find ways to encourage collagen production needed to maintain young-looking skin. But, collagen, applied as a cream, has proven to be ineffective as the molecules are too large to penetrate the skin's surface. Painful collagen injections also do not work as collagen quickly breaks down and is absorbed by the body.

One solution to achieving younger skin may be collagen-producing properties of amino acids, the building blocks of protein. They are at the forefront of Modele (http://www.clubmodele.com/), a new anti-aging skin care line that combines the scientific benefits of amino acids along with the beauty-enhancing elements of cosmetics. This segment of the beauty business is known as cosmeceutical.

Dr. Francesco Saverio Dioguardi, a professor of internal medicine and gastroenterology, and one of the world's leading amino acid scientists, researched the skin's ability to absorb amino acids. He discovered that with the right "vehicle" amino acids form a "functional cluster" that can be absorbed deep into the dermis layer, sending a message to fibroblast cells to stimulate collagen production.

This amino acid formula -- Proline, Glycine, Leucine and Lysine -- when clinically tested, proved to be quite effective for reducing the depth of wrinkles and for rejuvenating the skin. It is this very same formula that is used in the Modele Skin Care line.

Increased collagen means that the skin is firmer, smoother and has fewer visible signs of aging. In fact, this amino acid formula accelerates the healing of skin wounds and bedsores, reaffirming the true cosmeceutical nature of Modele.

"Amino acids are the building blocks upon which life is based. Nothing is better than that," Dr. Dioguardi said.

Modele products have been available in Europe for over a decade and in Canada close to three years. The five US products now available in the US are sold at CVS/pharmacy locations (http://www.cvs.com/) and Osco and Sav-on stores; suggested retail prices range from $29.99 to $49.99.

Naturale Science Pharma (NSP), a five-year old Canadian company known for innovative products, markets Modele Skin Care products in North America.
