Hyper - Olives Extracts for Skin & Longevity

Skin Anti-Aging Supplements and Ingredients: Olive Hydroxytyrosol Tyrosol Verbascoside

HYPER LONGEVITY™ Promoting Healthy and Beautiful Skin

 

OLIVE FRUIT EXTRACT (OleaSelect®)

Since antiquity, the diet of the people surrounding the Mediterranean has been known for its health and longevity. Olives, an integral delicacy on the Mediterranean menu, have special active components (polyphenols) which are the basis for much of the anti-aging effects: The two most important polyphenols include: Hydroxytyrosol, tyrosol and verbascoside. HYPER LONGEVITY™ uses a patented olive pulp extract from Italian olives, which has an exceedingly high level of polyphenols (greater than 30%). These polyphenols have significant biological effects on skin and aging, as documented in research literature. Italian Olives: Skin Anti-Aging Verbascoside

 

• Verbascoside


o Anti-Aging: powerful skin protection

    - OXIDATIVE STRESS PROTECTION
Free radicals are formed in the body from many sources, including exposure to UV   radiation. Highly reactive and destructive to tissue, free radicals increase the level of oxidative stress in the body, and prematurely age the body. Premature aging of the skin because of UV radiation is due to free radicals damaging the skin. Verbascoside is a very powerful antioxidant, and can neutralize free radicals in the body including those caused by UV radiation. Especially important in safeguarding against UV damage is preventing lipid oxidation of the cellular membrane.(1) Further, verbascoside has been shown to interefere with the UV signalling in skin cells, thereby modulating the response of skin cells to UV radiation. Authors of the study conclude that this interference could make a significant impact on skin cancer chemoprevention. (13) 
    - FAST REPAIR OF DNA
Verbascoside possesses the ability of rapidly repairing DNA which is damaged by UV radiation or from other sources of free radicals. Repairing damaged DNA is extremely important for maintaining health and longevity.(3)


o Keeping the Skin Beautiful:

    -  SKIN ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
Verbascoside has the unique ability to suppress inflammatory responses in the skin, by inhibiting the binding and subsequent activation of inflammatory gene factors.(2) Further anti-inflammatory response by verbascoside is mediated by the activation of PPAR-alpha.(9)  PPAR-alpha helps maintain homeostasis of the skin, including reduction of skin inflammation and stimulating epidermal lipid synthesis. Increased epidermal lipid synthesis improves the skin permeability barrier. (10) In a study using human keratinocytes (skin cells), verbascoside was shown to have "corticosteroid-like inhibition of pro-inflammatory chemokines at transcriptional and translational levels". (12)  Verbascoside also possesses a unique anti-inflammatory property by inhibiting HMGB1 - a powerful protein which is responsible for extreme levels of inflammation and sepsis.(14) 
     - ACCELERATES TISSUE REPAIR AND WOUND HEALING OF SKIN.
Verbascoside exhibited potent anti-inflammatory and accelerated wound-healing properties. Confirmation of the wound healing involved using full thickness excision wound, in vivo. (2)

• Hydroxytyrosol and Tyrosol

 

o Anti-Aging Gene Activator | Healthy Skin Anti-Aging

    - HYDROXYTYROSOL | INDUCTION OF LONGEVITY PROTEINS
An anti-aging gene activator of SIRT1, SIRT3 and SIRT4 hydroxytyrosol stimulates the production of longevity proteins from resulting gene expression. Results of the longevity proteins are changes in metabolism affecting the skin and body.(4) 
    - TYROSOL |  LIFESPAN EXTENSION 
Tyrosol has shown potent anti-aging effects in c. elegans (worm) longevity research. Research using tyrosol resulted in significant increases in lifespan, corresponding to increased levels of resistance to oxidative stress and delay in the appearance of a major aging biomarker.(11)   
    - HYDROXYTYROSOL | SKIN ANTI-AGING -  PROMOTING HEALTHY SKIN MAINTENANCE 
Stabilizes cell membrane of skin, reducing oxidative stress, and inflammation promoting longevity of the skin cells. High levels of oxidative stress and inflammation (5,6) cause premature senescence (cellular death). Conditions promoting premature senescense of skin cells also reduce the number of skin cells necessary for healthy skin maintenance and age the skin.

 

o Attenuates Skin Cell Damage Due to Ultraviolet Radiation | Anti-Inflammatory

   - HYDROXYTYROSOL  AND UV DAMAGE
The DNA in cells is very sensitive to ultraviolet radiation, which can damage the DNA and cause premature cellular senescence. UVA and UVB radiation causes skin damage via stimulation of oxidative radicals, and reductions of endogenous cellular antioxidants. Hydroxytyrosol protects the cell against increased levels of radiation induced oxidative stress.(7.8) Coincidentally, hydroxytyrsol shares this anti-aging feature with the other major group of polyphenols verbascosides.
  - SKIN ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
Furthermore, as an anti-Inflammatory,  hydroxytyrosol and tyrosol suppresses induction of inflammatory substances, including TNF-alpha, which is involved in chronic inflammatory conditions.(6)
