Syn-Ake

Science has really intertwined with nature in this discovery.  Temple viper venom is a SERIOUS anti aging ingredient.  Not many news outlets are this connected with the anti aging research out there on temple viper venom, and we are proud to be among one of the first media outlets to report this amazing anti aging breakthrough.

It was reported elsewhere that Gwyneth Paltrow uses a type of cream called “Syn-ake Venom.”  Here is some basic information on that exact synthetic snake venom:

What exactly is Syn-ake?

Syn-ake is an award-winning anti-wrinkle material that is based on a synthetic tripeptide that “mimics” the effects of a peptide which is present in the exact same venom present in the venom of the Temple Viper snake. This material was conceptualized by a company based in Switzerland called Pentapharm Ltd.  News outlets have reported that they are the most massive group of snake breeders and keepers in the world.

What exactly does Syn-ake do?

If you read the literature put out by the company, they state that  Syn-ake responds in a manner similar to a peptide in snake venom. Basically, it works to block receptors and keeps muscles in a relaxed state of mind.  The angle here is tha that this supposedly smooths out wrinkles, very similar to the manner that Botox is supposed to work.

Does Syn-Ake really work?

The company presents data from two studies.   The first suggests that Syn-ake has the ability to reduce muscle cell contractions in a laboratory test.

According to study number two, the data suggest that after 28 days of using a a cream with Syn-ake, you get a reduction of up to 52% in each wrinkle.

Wow, that sure is impressive.  We are in the process of finding out more information on this topic.  Please check back soon for more information on snake venom as a POTENT anti-wrinkle ingredient.

Breaking News about Syn-ake…..

Portions of this excerpt were reported on a British skin care website.  Below is the condensed version.

The active compound SYN@-AKE is the result of Peptides synthesis and expertise in snake venom research. The researchers at Pentapharm have managed to make a remarkable transference from the effects of snake venom peptides, which consist of 22 amino acids to a peptide-like com- pound containing only 3 amino acids. This kind of research has long been a tradition at Pentapharm. For 30 years, snake venom has been used for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. One example is the utilization of the anti-coagulant properties of parts of the South American Lance Adder venom. To this purpose, Pentapharm in Brazil maintains a snake farm, housing and breeding about 10,000 snakes.

The venom is milked locally in Brazil. Then transported to Switzerland for purification and further processing.

The synthetic peptide SYN@-AKE thus enables Pentapharm to dispense with the use of the snake farm. SYN@-AKE is safe and has no preservatives.  It is considered absolutely safe for use in cosmetic products.

SYN@-AKE is found in the Delfogo Deep Wrinkle Filler Serum.
