sh-Oligopeptide-2 is a synthetic single chain (7.6 kDa) polypeptide hormone structurally similar to proinsulin, which is an Insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF-1) naturally synthesized in the liver and fibroblast cells. It is a growth hormone involved in the formation of bone, muscle, and nerve tissues and improves regeneration of damaged cells by building up new blood vessels for the cells which were reduced by the cells of damaged skin of aging.
sh-Oligopeptide-2 forms the blood vessels of degenerated cells by aging, enabling them to replace their accumulated CO2 and wastes and revivifying aged cells as young cells. It improves the secretion of GH and other hormones by providing IGF-1 directly and helps the normal resisting action of insulin.
Applied topically, sh-Oligopeptide-2 enhances the biosynthesis of Hyaluronic acid and other components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) exposing a smoother, youthful, and healthy appearance of the skin. It minimizes the appearance of fine lines and deep wrinkles and reduces blotchiness.
Thanks to its anabolic fat-burning effect, sh-Oligopeptide-2 effectively refines texture glides, and slims the face and body. It also strengthens hair, boosting primary hair cell proliferation and stimulating hair follicles to produce a strong hair shaft. It is used in many high-end modern anti-aging products and superstar complex ingredients like Bio Placenta.
