Where’s the science?

February 16th, 2007 · 1 Comment
2 weeks ago I began a 3 month anti-aging skin care regime. I’m taking Collagen Type I & III, Somato 8 ( amino acids that stimulate HGH release), and use a night cream with ’secretogogues’ (more amino acids). I’m doing this alongside my normal skin care which is full of anti-oxidants and, of course, I’m [...]
