Has anyone heard of amatokin?
I've been searching around all over the internet for any info I could find on a brand new product, all I can find are pieces and RUMORS. Has anyone heard of Amatokin??? I got this info from a press release I found online. "A real, non-invasive breakthrough in skin care that doesn’t involve needles, injections, peels or a visit to the doctor’s office. Amatokin could really be “a miracle in a bottle" It supposedly uses cutting edge technology "in harnessing the power of stem cells to renew old skin and make it young" There is nothing on the website Amatokin.com really, except a french website i couldn't figure out (because I don't speak french, lol). It seems controversial to me, but if it does what it's been claiming to do...I would be way interested...I just can't find anyway to get any or anyone who's used it!!
1) Rumors on Amatokin: a skin stem cell wrinkle cream? September 27th, 2006 Is Amatokin the first product to harness the potential of your own stem cells to reduce serious wrinkles? From Businesswire: This “super-secret” wrinkle cream, called Amatokin, is not really a cream at all, but a “highly efficient ‘barrier-neutral’ emulsion” containing a unique polypeptide compound (known in official circles as polypeptide #153). This meta-peptide was developed 62 miles north of St. Petersburg, Russia in a high-security lab . The original goal was to find a better way to help burn victims heal, but the real money is in harnessing the power of stem cells to renew old skin and make it young. … Amatokin is the most controversial anti-aging skin cream in more than three decades. …While the public debate rages about the use of stem cells from fertilized human eggs, most people don’t realize that human skin is the largest repository of stem cells in the body. …If Voss Laboratories succeeds in bringing Amatokin to the American market for a price of under $200 for a 30-day supply, industry sources say Amatokin could be the most sought-after formula to ever hit the “anti-wrinkle, anti-aging market.” Bottom line: The ability of Amatokin and stem-cell science to deliver wrinkle-free skin remains mostly rumor – but a very persistent one. Link Ok, it is one thing to use a polypeptide or a mix of them to make the endogenous, natural born skin stem cells move and divide and regenerate, but to put exogenous stem cells into a cream as a compound: that is a completely different project. For the latter you need to glue the cells somewhere with something (gelatin, colloid emulsion?).
