sh-Polypeptide-1

sh-Polypeptide-1 is a single-chain synthetic peptide (molecular weight 17.25 kDa) hormone bFGF (basic Fibroblast Growth Factor) that regulates skin's renewal promotional subtraction It is also an essential constituent for maintaining the best condition of the body as this is concerned with restoration of the aging tissue and treatment for bruises.

bFGF promotes cell multiplication and division for dermis extracellular matrix fibroblasts, neuronal cells, endothelial cells, keratinocytes, chondrocytes, myoblasts, osteoblasts, and many other cell types and strongly protects the nerve cells.

Incorporated in skin care applications, sh-Polypeptide-1 improves the elasticity of the skin and smoothes out wrinkles with increasing biosynthesis of collagen and elastin which are the main structural elements of dermal cells. In addition, it improves hair growth increasing the synthesis of collagen and elastin and restraining hair decolorization.

Moreover, sh-Polypeptide-1 controls the activation and manifestation level of specific molecules at an organic level and then derives blood vessel development. It means that this controls the propagation, migration, and differentiation of epidermis cells through the capillary vessels with nutrients for epidermis cells as well as the smooth circulation of blood.

Interacting with EGF and IGF-1 sh-Polypeptide-1 boosts the production of Hyaluronic acid, exposing a smoother, youthful, and healthy appearance of the skin. It is used in modern anti-aging preparations and high-end complexes like Bio Placenta.
