Not plant derived, but what about palmitoyl pentapeptide-3 (Matrixyl)? It is touted as reducing fine lines over time and it's action appears to be through increasing collagen production by 117%, collagen IV by 327% and HA by 267%. Could it also be beneficial to kidney and brain diseases?
If we look at the parent product of the discovery (Replexion/ComplexionMD), it is combined with acetyl hexapeptide-3 and palmitoyl oligopeptide as well as some hyaluronic acid of unknown molecular weight. AH3 relaxes muscles which gives immediate effects, especially for caffeine junkies I'm thinking, but if this other stuff can keep collagen production stoked, I think that could be a method of displacing AGEs for removal if done along with stimulating the pathways for removal with the kidneys and liver. The kidneys lose EGFR with time, but this looks to be restorable with PEP-1192 (Klotho RH?) due to accumulation of of AGEs (in some part), so taking Matrixyl and perhaps palmitoyl oligopeptide-3 via injection or perhaps infusion, or perhaps making it into a slow release injection similar to some insulins, psoriasis therapies, or that cancer therapy for prostate cancer that outcompetes GnRH could lead to a long term solution to the problem of AGEs. I'm thinking Matrixyl could have similar action to klotho and structural fidelity seems to prevent most cancers, so something like Matrixyl should be very safe.
Oh note to use is that we don't know what an appropriate dose is for this stuff and if we look at GnRH, it basically castrates you if you use too much of it. So which brand gives an appropriate dose that won't stop your own synthesis of it? Or does taking it signal for increased production of it's precursors? How best to use it?
On a more botanical side note, what about Ellagic acid? It restores skin elasticity iirc. Has anyone discussed it?
