Tripeptide-29, for example, is considered a collagen peptide and may promote the synthesis of healthy collagen while preventing the production of denatured collagen (collagen with proteins that have lost their structural integrity).44 The other ingredient, plant glycogen, or phytoglycogen, may promote the production of ceramides, which can support overall skin health (e.g., maintain hydration, reduce inflammation, etc.)43 45 Concerning the product as a whole and similar to our pick from The Ordinary NIOD lists the pH of CAIS3 on its product page: 5.7-6.7, the entire range of which is mildly acidic
The answers that have emerged from decades of animal studies point to a compound with a genuinely unusual breadth of activity one that operates through multiple overlapping molecular mechanisms rather than a single, narrow pathway
It is also studied for activation of the FAK-paxillin pathway, which governs cell migration and adhesion
That's something that's great about it
