Cynergy TK is a proprietary ingredient developed by the Xtendlife Company located in New Zealand. One of the primary components of the formula is a compound called Functional Keratin, which was developed by another New Zealand company. Here’s a little more about the compounds and a look at the benefits seen in clinical trials.
Functional Keratin was created by the KERATEC Company using patented processes that allowed for the extraction and softening of a hard protein found in sheep’s wool. The protein is very similar to that which makes up the epidermis; the skin’s outermost layers.
Most proteins cannot be absorbed into the skin’s layers, which is why creams containing collagen and elastin are largely ineffective. Keratin could not be absorbed into the skin’s cells, either if it were not softened properly.
Most companies that include keratin in their creams and lotions use a denaturalized form of the protein. In order to soften it, they use high temperatures and harsh chemicals that destroy the protein’s function.
One of the main functions of keratin, within the skin’s cells, is to absorb and retain water. This is important for reducing wrinkles and sagging, because moist skin cells are plumper and less wrinkled.
In volunteers using Cynergy TK during clinical trials, researchers saw an increase in the skin’s moisture content of more than 20% and an improvement in the skin’s ability to retain moisture. After 18 days, there was a 14% improvement in moisture retention. That means that the skin cells are absorbing the protein and making use of it.
What’s different about Functional Keratin is that the company was able to soften it, without denaturalizing it. KERATEC has a number of patented processes that allow them to accomplish that feat.
Cynergy TK contains a combination of Functional Keratin and a nutritional hydrolyzed keratin. The two ingredients work together to provide better results than would be seen with either ingredient, alone. Some of the positive benefits seen during testing include:
• Increased skin cell production—as much as 160% increase in skin cell proliferation after three days. The average increase was around 140%.
• Improved firmness and elasticity—42% improvement in elasticity was seen after 18 days of use
• Decreased inflammation—the compound interferes with the production of prostaglandin E2, the primary cause of redness and inflammation in the skin’s cells. The initial studies conducted by KERATEC showed a great improvement in an inflammatory skin condition called detergent-related contact dermatitis
In addition to the benefits listed above, Cynergy TK has unique antioxidant activity. It stimulates the body’s production of superoxide dismutase and glutathione, which will help reverse age spots and even out pigmentation.
All Xtendlife skincare products contain a number of unique ingredients, including Nano-lipobelle HEQ10, Wakame kelp extracts and natural vitamin E. These ingredients were selected because of the benefits seen in clinical studies.
Why haven’t you heard of Xtendlife skincare products? They don’t do a lot of advertising. Because of that, they are able to keep their costs down and still include expensive ingredients like Cynergy TK.
