LIERAC Laboratories have created the 1st exclusive complex to prevent and correct early wrinkles and to target aconitase present in mitochondrial DNA. Combining a high-tech peptide with goji fruit extract, new INITIATIC moisturizers help restore optimum cellular metabolism and correct the appearance of early wrinkles.
A recent discovery by the scientists at LIERAC Laboratories has pinpointed mitochondrial dysfunction as a major contributor to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Mitochondria are located in the cell cytoplasm and can be compared to batteries, responsible for producing and distributing the vital energy (ATP=Adenosine TriPhosphate) needed for optimum cellular metabolism. Mitochondria have their own DNA, whose repair systems become run-down when faced with free radicals. The damage caused by these free radicals leads to dysfunction that affects the production of cell energy. This �energy crisis� causes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
LIERAC INNOVATION: AN EXCLUSIVE BIO-BOTANICAL COMPLEX The Bio-Botanical Complex was engineered by fusing a high-tech peptide with the powerful, antioxidant rich goji fruit extract. The pentapeptide consists of 5 amino acids, and is structurally identical to an active fraction of the aconitase enzyme. The aconitase enzyme acts as bodyguard for the mitochondria by stimulating energy production and the protecting mitochondrial DNA.
After sun exposure, mitochondrial DNA is highly damaged; this could lead to the destruction of mitochondria. When the LIERAC peptide is present*, mitochondrial DNA is ideally protected from UVB rays and the mitochondria preserve their integrity. The peptide boosts this enzyme to help stimulate cellular metabolism and protect mitochondrial DNA. (*in vitro tests)
Goji fruit extract, also known as �the fruit of longevity�, has powerful anti-aging properties. LIERAC uses the Lycium Barbarum variety, originating in Tibet. GOJI BERRY:
� Contains the highest antioxidant value on the ORAC scale (Oxygen Radical Absorbancy Capacity.) � Boasts 400 times more Vitamin C than oranges. � Is rich in 21 trace elements (phosphorus, iron, zinc, selenium, copper,) Vitamins B1, B2, B6, E, and 18 amino acids.
The peptide helps to actively fight against the premature appearance of the visible signs of skin aging by protecting mitochondrial DNA. It also increases the production of energy necessary for optimum cell activity. Its actions are reinforced by the high energizing and antioxidant action of the goji fruit.
