Tripeptide-41 is a synthetic peptide (sequence Phe-Trp-Tyr) known under the trade name CG-Lipoxin (Lipoxygenase) that delays the accumulation of lipids in the adipocyte and promotes their breakdown into fatty acids. It blocks linoleic acid, which promotes lipid accumulation.
Thanks to the lipolytic effect, Tripeptide-41 stimulates the conversion of triacylglycerides into glycerin and fatty acids and their release from the adipocyte into the intercellular space. As a result, adipocytes (fat cells) decrease in size.
Tripeptide-41 is an effective ingredient for slimming and anti-cellulite applications. It is used as part of lipolytic cocktails to correct body contours.
