In today’s world, people approaching the ‘over-the-hill’ mark are in a flurry, looking for various anti-aging solutions to turn back time. From age reversing skin creams to collagen fillers; anti-wrinkle treatments to face lifts – there is a range of options to choose from. Recently, another factor was added to the menu that can help fight premature aging. Amino acid is the new formula to stop Father time.

Amino acids can be categorized into two separate groups, each varying in effectiveness in treating aging. These are known as ‘Neuro’ peptides and ‘Penta’ peptides.  These peptides are small proteins, which are characterized by their effectiveness and safety in minute doses when used by the body. Neuropeptides are especially known for their powerful ability to affect cells, improving cell interaction and immunity and increasing the quality of cell communication.

The numerous amino-acid anti-aging products on the market today vary in their quality and effectiveness, ranging from products that have a fair amount of research and use to back up their claims, to newly developed products that continue to produce quality reviews, and those amino-acid products that are not widely marketed or researched. The continuing research into the benefits of amino-acid treatment for premature aging, has given rise to several products that have previously been used in the treatment of such skin problems as scarring and stretch marks, but are now marketed as successful anti-aging treatments, such as Strivectin-SD.

Amino acids have been shown to provide consumers with many benefits and treatment options in the fight against premature aging. Many people opt for amino acid treatments over alpha-hydroxy treatments due to the fact that the treatments are more powerful, produce more dramatic results, are not as photosensitizing to the skin, and result in less irritation than alpha-hydroxy treatments.
