Name: An active extract of Cordyceps sinensis for cosmetics and its extraction method.
Publication number: cn101152140.
At present, cytoprotective factors are mainly extracted from Cordyceps sinensis.
Why can Cordyceps sinensis extract cytoprotective factors? In fact, we know that Cordyceps sinensis has this function by looking at its pharmacology. In modern research, the main function of Cordyceps sinensis is anti-tumor. But in history, it is a tonic to prolong life. Although studies have proved that Cordyceps sinensis contains SOD, even if SOD is inactivated, it will not affect the efficacy. Cordyceps sinensis is very different from ginseng. Ginseng can promote regeneration (accelerate cell proliferation), but Cordyceps sinensis does not. There is no doubt, then, that Cordyceps sinensis does not prolong cell life by resisting oxidation or promoting regeneration. It belongs to a kind of protective protein similar to human cells, and it is a substance that protects DNA, chromosome and protein structure and prolongs cell life. So as to keep the cells young and achieve the effect of "long-term use after 28 years old, which can be younger than the skin of peers for a long time 10-20 years old".
