GLUCOSAMINE FOR PHOTOAGING
If your skin is already showing signs of photoaging after years of fun in the sun, help is here. Permanent skin changes such as dark spots, fine lines and brown are usually the result of accumulated sun exposure. Chronic exposure to UV can damage melanocytes,the skin cells that are responsible for the production of melanin which gives skin its color. A form of photoaging include triggering increased production of melanin by melanocytes, which leads to long to brown spots and discolorations in the skin. Glucosamine is a natural substance found in bones and joints which is commonly taken as supplements in the treatment of arthritis. Recent research indicates that glucosamine can prevent the occurrence of new skin changes and even pale spots present by interrupting the chemical signals that promote the production of melanin. The most stable form of this compound is N-acetyl-glucosamine in combination with niacinamide, a form of vitamin B,can even skin tone by slowing the production of skin pigment.
