Polynucleotides, which are purified DNA fragments, have become increasingly popular in Europe for their regenerative properties. In London, I noticed a growing trend of combining polynucleotide injections with other non-invasive treatments for skin aging and not so heavily reliant on fillers and botox. Initially used for wound healing and hair restoration, these injections are now finding applications in aesthetic practices.

Children spend a good deal of time in the care of other people other than their parents. As a parent I would go to great lengths to ensure my kids caregiver reapplied sunblock every two hours, tipping the counselor at camp and drilling the message into my childcare provider.

It is apparent that health depends on balance.  The bodies cells and the skin require a harmony that is often disrupted with our diet and over stripping with incorrect washing.  This balance is simply defined as the pH.  pH is a measure of how acidic or basic (alkaline) a liquid is. Since the majority of your body is water (60%), helping your body maintain a slightly alkaline pH gives you a better shot at long-term health.

They carry the entire DNA gene expression of the plant and can morph, or differentiate, into other cell types to help the plant regenerate and stay healthy.
