Transport Chair Cum Rollator From firstSTREET

"It made so much sense to us that someone who can still ambulate by themselves, even briefly, should have that opportunity, and yet be able to turn the ambulation over to a caretaker as needed, without having to move from one type of unit to another. We think firstSTREET's Dual Transport Chair/Rollator meets that need perfectly." When serving as a rollator, the unit is designed to move along at the pace of the person walking behind it, providing support and ease of mobility. Then when the user is ready to sit down and be pushed, the unit converts to a transport chair by reversing the backrest. "You can ambulate it by yourself, be pushed by someone else, or simply sit and rest when you want to," says Fawcett. "The padded backrest easily flips over when you want to sit down or be transported." Fawcett notes that those with mobility issues need to be assured that any wheeled product they use can be easily controlled, braked and secured. "The design of the Dual Transport Chair/Rollator has really addressed those issues," he says. "There are big, sturdy eight-inch indoor/outdoor wheels, and for added safety, there's a seat lock and looplock brakes. For added comfort, the seat height, footrest and handlebars all adjust, and there's even a handy carry pouch under the seat."

The unit weighs just 19 lbs. and folds to fit in most cars. It comes pre-assembled and features, says Fawcett, "the easiest of conversions from one function to another. Basically the change from rollator to transport chair is simply a matter of reversing the backrest and folding down the footrest." Fawcett adds that this unit offers a 300-lb. capacity, "versus the usual 250-lb. limit on most transport chairs." firstSTREET is associated with the Institute of Gerontology at Wayne State University and was recently certified as a "Senior Approved" company by Senior Approved Services, a national network of resources, products and services survey-endorsed by seniors and their families.


A national catalog-online marketer that focuses on products for the "baby boomer and beyond" generations has just introduced for that market a transport chair and rollator in one. The company, firstSTREET, headquartered near Richmond, VA, says it has been searching for such a combination unit for some time. "This is an invaluable aid to people with mobility problems," says company spokesman and COO Chris Fawcett. You can see this product at the following URL http://www.firststreetonline.com/product.jsp?id=43992

Lamborghini donates the new "Polizia” to the Italian Police

A private ceremony was held today at the Viminale Palace where Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. donated a police version of the company’s newest super sports car, Gallardo LP560-4 Polizia, to the head of the Italian State Police, Prefect Antonio Manganelli.The new Gallardo LP560-4 Polizia, which replaces the previous Gallardo in use by the Italian police force since 2004 has a 560 horsepower engine that can reach speeds of up to 203 mph. The car will begin service with the Lazio Highway Police Department in order to continue accident and crime prevention to sustain security on the Italian roads.Proof of outstanding reliabilityIts predecessor is proof of Lamborghini’s outstanding product quality. Since 2004, Rome’s police force has had the first-generation Gallardo in regular police service. The sports car has clocked nearly 87,000 miles of patrol duty on the motorways of central and southern Italy, as well as on emergency medical transport detail.A second Gallardo, painted in blue and white police colors, has been in service around Bologna, Italy since 2005. Its odometer already shows more than 62,000 miles. Aside from regular servicing, neither of the super sports cars has required major repairs.In addition to the clearly effective deterrent offered by the presence and visibility of a Lamborghini on the highway, the technological equipment on board these vehicles makes them highly effective in the control of hazardous behaviour on the roads (high speeds, driving in the emergency lane, dangerous over-taking); the automatic recognition of number plate tracking and real-time transmission of images to the control rooms.High-tech video system with real-time retrievalThe cabin of the super sports car is fitted with the latest advancements in police technology to immediately document the evidence of any transgression. The video system is positioned in the center of the cabin with a camera fitted next to the rear view mirror and a computer and recording equipment behind the seats. As soon as police officers discover a suspicious driver, they activate the “Proof Video Data System.” With the help of GPS data, the device can calculate the location, direction of movement and speed of the Lamborghini. This combined with the distance and time before intercept, accurately determines the speed of the vehicle being pursued.Using radio data transmission, the video system in the Gallardo Polizia transfers its images in real time to the relevant police station. There, the videos are stored and used for automatic number plate retrieval. This information can be used for immediate identification of stolen vehicles. The “classic” array of police equipment on board tooIn addition to its high tech equipment, the Gallardo is also fitted with the “classic” array of police equipment, such as a gun holster, police radio equipment and the “Paletta,” the traditional hand-held stop sign used to advise motorists and traffic offenders to pull over. Officers can then use a removable screen to show offenders their misdeeds immediately, complete with an overlay of all the associated data.Rapid response in medical emergenciesThe Lamborghini is used regularly for urgent medical transportation too. The luggage compartment in the front of the vehicle is equipped with a specialized refrigeration system for safe transportation of donor organs. For extreme emergencies, there is also a defibrillator used to restore a normal heart rhythm to patients by delivering an electrical shock to the heart to stop massive cardiac arrhythmia or ventricular fibrillation, and thus save lives.Officer trainingThe 30 police officers permitted to drive the Gallardo Polizia receive special training in the use of the Gallardo’s medical equipment. Each person on the special operations team – which includes three women – has undertaken several days of driver training with Lamborghini, under the leadership of the Lamborghini test drivers. The basis of trouble-free everyday operation is the exceptional safety of the Gallardo LP560-4 with its permanent all-wheel drive and its refined chassis, which maintains stability even at the highest speeds. Lamborghini’s extremely high standards for product quality and reliability ensure that the Gallardo LP560-4 Polizia is always ready for duty. Even the blue light is designed for speedNow the successor is ready – a new generation Gallardo LP560-4 with the very latest in special equipment. The Lamborghini wears its uniform with pride, painted in accordance with requirements in “blu Polizia” – whereby the white stripes and lettering follow the Gallardo’s dynamic design angles. Its main patrol beat will once again be central and southern Italy, primarily on the motorway between Salerno and Reggio Calabria.The police beacon on the roof of the Gallardo had to be aerodynamically optimized being that the new police car reaches a considerably higher top speed than regular service vehicles.. Despite the extremely flat construction of the signal lighting, blue LEDs are fitted round the base to ensure the visual signal cannot be missed. The roof-mounted lighting is supported by further blue LED signals on the front, sides and rear of the light’s aluminium shell. A total of four sirens integrated into the front and rear of the Gallardo generate unmistakable audible warning signals.On duty even in New YorkJust like its predecessor, the new Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Polizia is destined to be not only the fastest, but also the most famous police car – even beyond Italian borders. The Italian State Police uniform, and the unquestionable attraction of the Lamborghini brand, continue to arouse curiosity and interest. Thousands of citizens have the possibility to see the car for themselves during the many events organized to promote the vehicles in use.Alongside its daily operational duties, the Gallardo also has regular public appearance obligations, such as its role as parade leader every year in Rome’s traditional “Festa di Polizia,” or its escort responsibilities at events with historical vehicles, like the Targa Florio and the Milan – San Remo Rally. Its predecessor even represented the Italian police in New York City at the 2005 “Columbus Day” parade.

Lamborghini Reventon

A super sports car, yet one that defies comparison – the Lamborghini Reventón is both an ultimate driving machine and limited work of art – with a total of only 20 built and a price of one million Euro (excl. tax), every Reventón is highly exclusive and virtually unique. The Reventón bearing the number 20/20 has now been delivered to its proud owner – thus completing the series.

Highly skilled craftsmanship

Each Reventón was produced with extremely skilled and high-precision craftsmanship in Sant’Agata Bolognese, the home of the brand and the birthplace of all super sports cars bearing the sign of the bull. “The Reventón, however, is the most extreme of all – a superlative on wheels. Based on the technical underpinnings of the Murciélago, we have concentrated and further enhanced the brand’s DNA – its genetic code,” says Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A., who personally handed over Reventón Number 20 to its new owner at the factory.

Enjoy the incomparable driving pleasure

20 friends and collectors of Lamborghini cars – who all wish to remain anonymous – now own this unique piece. Most of them view the Reventón not only as the highlight of their collection, but also want to enjoy the intensity of the incomparable driving pleasure. Ultimately, the Reventón, aside from its extreme form, boasts the full technical and dynamic competence of Lamborghini’s 12-cylinder sports cars. This means the breathtaking performance of 650 hp and a top speed of 340 km/h. It also means absolute reliability and the feasibility of everyday use.

A future legend

This offers all other Lamborghini fans the chance of at least occasionally coming across a Reventón, be it on a beautiful mountain road, at the side of a race track or at an exclusive social event. And one thing is also certain – in future, a few of the 20 Reventón will be available for admiration in a museum. Because Lamborghini has not only created a design masterpiece, it has also added another classic to the rich history of the brand. The lucky owners can be justly pleased.

Lamborghini Super Trofeo

Lamborghini Super Trofeo – Impressive results in early testing

Last week saw the Automobili Lamborghini development team and engineers from tyre partner Pirelli put the Gallardo Super Trofeo through its paces on the Vallelunga Race Track outside Rome. This marked the first tests under simulated race conditions, with Lamborghini test driver Giorgio Sanna behind the wheel. From the very outset, the lap times achieved were faster than any ever recorded with a single-brand trophy race car on this track.

The new Lamborghini Gallardo Super Trofeo delivered the first evidence of its outstanding performance in initial testing, with extremely good handling and excellent lap times. Preparations for the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo are running well within schedule. The first race of the world’s fastest single-brand competition is set to be run on 2 May 2009 at Silverstone.

The focus of the calibration work was on the tyres and the race car set-up. “During the 40 minute race, the drivers are not permitted to change the tyres. Therefore, we have to pay particularly close attention to the durability of the slicks,” explains Giorgio Sanna.

Exceptionally good handling

Particular attention was also paid to the individual calibration options for the new race car based on the various tracks and drivers. “The Super Trofeo should be easy for gentlemen drivers to control, yet challenging for professional drivers,” says Sanna, who has already carried out rain tests on the race track in Nardo. “The permanent all-wheel drive and high aerodynamic downforce give the Gallardo Super Trofeo exceptionally good handling.”

“We are well within our schedule, and will continue to push things forward,” says Manfred Fitzgerald, who is Director of Brand and Design for Lamborghini and responsible for the Super Trofeo. “Ultimately, we want to provide our teams with a race car that is not only fast, but also perfectly reliable.”

The world’s fastest single-brand trophy
The Super Trofeo is the only one-make series in the motorsport world to feature cars with all-wheel drive. And it is Lamborghini’s clear objective to ensure that it will be the fastest single-brand series in the world – partly due to the technical superiority of the all-wheel drive principle. Starting in May, the Super Trofeo will make guest appearances at six race events – at Silverstone (UK), on the Adria Raceway (Italy), on the Norisring (Germany), in Spa (Belgium), in Barcelona (Spain) and on Paul Ricard racetrack (France).

Lamborghini is building 30 cars for the Super Trofeo, which they are making available to individual enthusiasts, as well as to Lamborghini dealer teams. The factory will enter one car for itself, and plans to commission well-known guest drivers to take the wheel. And on the edge of the racing action, the Super Trofeo Village hospitality venue will be available.

A top-class race car

The Super Trofeo race car is based on the Gallardo LP 560-4, powered by the new 5.2 litre V10 with direct fuel injection (IDS), generating an increased output of 419 kW (570 hp). Its power flows through the e.gear six-speed robotized gear box to the permanent all-wheel drive with viscous traction – the kind of power transmission perfectly suited to motorsport.

The Super Trofeo is a top-class race car in every detail. Its chassis, featuring double wishbone suspension all round, has been reworked specifically for the purpose. The competition tyres are supplied by Pirelli and a specialist racing brake system provides brutal stopping power with racing ABS. Additional body components such as the large, adjustable rear wing are made from carbon-fibre composite. The cockpit incorporates an ultra-light race seat, a racing steering wheel and additional specialized racing instruments.

2009 Ski Holidays Face Meltdown

Ski resorts in Europe, Canada and the USA have invested heavily in recent years on new and improved facilities. But this year could see them in the cold financially as the world's economy hits black ice...
Andorra -- Of all the travel sectors likely to be hit hardest by the current economic crises, it has to be the ski holidays industry, according to British company International Property Tribune, who have fifteen travel sites including a specialist ski holidays site.
"Recent surveys have shown that during the forthcoming economic downturn in Europe and the US, many people regard their summer holiday as an essential, not a luxury, and come hell or high water people are still going to take a holiday."
"But when it comes to a ski holiday, it's not essential. It's not part of society's fabric. It isn't an annual ritual observed by generations. A ski holiday is a luxury", they say, "And ski holidays can be expensive - so we anticipate the ski industry to take a big hit for their 2008/9 season."
Compounding the drop in visitors because of the gloomy economic outlook and many families looking to make savings, the travel company makes a further observation that will have ski resort owners from Andorra to Colorado feeling a cold wind blow across their predicted ski holiday visitor numbers.
"In the 1980's recession it was the working classes who got hit hardest, tens of thousands of miners, car workers and others involved in industry were thrown out of work -- this time the economic downturn is hitting the bankers and stockbrokers -- and it's the City of London and Wall Street bunch who take a week's ski holiday in France, the US or Canada that are going to be cutting back their spending in the coming months."
And while Europeans and North Americans worry about their jobs and rein in their spending this winter, tour operators and ski holiday businesses who have invested in new skiing facilities will be hoping they won't be making redundancies of their own just to be able to keep operating until the end of the season.
But what ski resorts will be hoping for more than anything else this winter is snow. "Two years ago European skiing areas were devestated at the lack of snow", say Tribune who produce http://www.yourandorra.com "And they will be hoping against hope that there's good snowfall from mid November to mid March. If not the double whammy of no snow and the credit crunch could leave the ski fields very empty places this year."
Typical of ski areas that stand to lose a lot in the coming year should both the credit crunch and lack of snow combine is Andorra. Andorra is a small country in the Pyrenees, and skiing is a major part of the country's revenue. Andorra ski holidays started in the eighties as cheap alternative to ski holidays in France, but in recent years Andorra has spent millions on improving her infrastructure.
Included in the upgrade of facilities for Andorra has not only been public spending on roads and improved access to the skiing areas, but private capital investment in some very good quality hotels, with many hotels in Andorra now recognised as of a good international standard and achieving 4 or 5 star status.
And the country is spending more on her 2008/9 ski season by advertising directly in the UK for the first time to attract British skiers, money that was spent before the scale of the economic crisis and Britain's part in it became apparent. Free skiing for children under 14 and helicopter rides over the Pyrenees are just two promotions Andorra was hoping would ensure a good year for her ski holidays industry. And private money will see an ice hotel in Andorra for the first time this year.

US and Canadian ski resorts have been investing equally heavily in their facilities, with top ski resorts such as Whistler and Colorado's Breckenridge potentially being hit hardest as, like their European counterparts, Wall Street bankers and brokers stay at home instead of having a week of skiing with the family. If the snow is late though both US and Canadian ski resorts will have enough snow cannons to ensure skiing and snowboarding for all those who do turn up.
Ski resorts will be hoping that the real weather is as cold as the financial storms this winter. -- (PRWEB) November 25 2008 --

An Open Letter to President-Elect Barack Obama From LiveOffice

TORRANCE, CA - LiveOffice, the leading provider of software-as-a-service (SaaS) email archiving solutions, today issued the following open letter to President-elect Barack Obama, urging him to add another "first" to his record by becoming the first emailing president:

Dear President-elect Obama:

As the New York Times reported recently, you've got a problem -- your email. Experts (and according to the story, even your advisors) say that the Presidential Records Act makes it too risky for you to keep emailing and using your trusty BlackBerry once you take office. But you built your campaign platform around the idea of change, and we say it's time to buck the trend and turn you into an emailing, BlackBerry'ing commander-in-chief. We're confident it can be done.

"How?" you ask. What you need is an email archiving system that securely captures all the messages you send and receive and preserves them in their original format. It can even handle email messages you send from your BlackBerry. Plus, if you opt for a software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering, you can be up and running in just a few days (and you'll never even notice a difference in your email).

As the first emailing president, an email archiving solution can help you:

-- Increase the transparency of your administration (which you've said is a top priority)

-- Prevent the risk of lost messages (and the subsequent bad PR -- as we saw when the Bush administration lost "potentially millions" of messages)

-- Benefit from the efficiencies of email while protecting your messages in a highly secure environment

As the developer of one of the first cloud-based email archiving solutions, we can tell you from firsthand experience that being the first to do something is always buzz worthy--and a solid email archiving system can make you the first emailing president. That's our platform, and we're sticking to it.

Respectfully,

Your Friends at LiveOffice

LiveOffice is the leading provider of software-as-a-service email archiving and Hosted Exchange 2007 solutions, with more than 7,500 clients, 200 terabytes of email archived and a 99-percent client-retention rate.

Nokia E63 Mass Market Appeal Messaging Device

Nokia research claims that people want a device that deals with both their personal and professional lives, but helps them to separate the two. When someone sits down at lunch, they want to update their social network or browse their personal email account and they don't want work getting in the way of that. It's another great case of technology adapting to the people that use it," says Soren Petersen, Senior Vice President, Nokia. "The Nokia E63 is a new proposition for Eseries - a messaging device where people will be just as involved in their social network as they are in their business network.

Nokia E63 joins the successful Nokia E71 to form a compelling QWERTY messaging device range by Nokia announcement, the latest addition to its Eseries range, the Nokia E63, designed for people who need to manage their business and personal lives equally well. Building on the success of the Nokia E71, the company's flagship messaging device, the Nokia E63 brings the QWERTY keyboard form factor to a broader audience at a great price. The Nokia E63 is expected to begin shipping in the coming weeks for an estimated retail price of EUR 199, before taxes and subsidies.

Whilst appealing to a new group of consumers with a design that feels great in the hand and has two new colors, the Nokia E63 is still very much a member of the Eseries family. Petersen continues, "People use Eseries to access their corporate mail, review their calendar and work in their business network, so the Nokia E63 still includes Wi-Fi connectivity, easy access to Mail for Exchange and dedicated key access to contacts, calendar and email."

The Nokia E63 also has the ability to switch modes with a single key press, switching from a view of corporate mail, appointments and intranet data, to a personal mode with a picture of friends, personal email and shortcuts to favorite hobby blogs or websites. Petersen adds, "The amazing response we have seen to the Nokia E71, which has very quickly become the best selling model in its category, let us know that we are heading in the right direction. People want a rich experience when using messaging, social networks and the Internet. With the Nokia E63 you can enjoy the web, update your status and work meaningfully with multiple email accounts."

The Nokia E63 also includes Files on Ovi, a service where people can get remote access to their PC files even when their computer is offline. Anyone buying the handset will have access to 1GB of online file storage for free.

The Nokia E63 will be available in ruby red or ultramarine blue with a range of multimedia features. Record and view images and videos with the digital camera and bright landscape display, listen to music downloaded from the Nokia Music Store, or a number of other sources, via the standard 3,5 mm audio jack or customize the device through the thousands of applications available for download.

Enter The Wu-Tang Weathertech Boot by Fila

SPARKS, MD - Fila and The Wu-Tang Brand, Ltd. announce their latest product collaboration: the Wu-Tang Weathertech boot. The winter wear boot will be available just in time for the holiday season and marks the second time the Italian heritage sportswear brand has partnered with Wu-Tang for footwear collaboration.

One of the most critically and commercially successful music groups of all time, The Wu-Tang Clan exploded onto the scene in the 1990s, delivering a sound unlike any other.
The Wu-Tang Clan consists of nine members: Ghostface Killah, GZA, Inspectah Deck, Masta Killa, Method Man, Raekwon, RZA, U-God and the late Ol' Dirty Bastard. These hip-hop pioneers are rappers, actors, entrepreneurs, record producers, screenwriters and executive producers. Under the direction of RZA, the group, through its own efforts and solo projects, (all of which he produced or co-produced) has been able to create a hazy, surreal, and menacing soundscape derived from hardcore beats, eerie piano riffs, and minimal samples. Out of these musical sounds and characteristics, their debut album "36 Chambers" was born. By 1993, The Clan possessed one of the most instantly recognizable sounds in hip-hop, and that still remains true today.

Konzuk Introduces it's Latest Stainless Steel Jewelry Collection: Vent Inspired by the Works of Donald Judd

The Vent Collection is the most architecturally and technically ambitious in the Konzuk jewelry line. It is a testament to designer, Karen Konzuk, ability to create wearable pieces that are akin to minimalist sculptures.
Calgary, Alberta - Coveted by architects and design lovers around the world, Konzuk is excited to introduce a new collection inspired by the work of acclaimed artist Donald Judd. A number of collections in the Konzuk line are inspired by architecture, so it comes as no surprise that Judd, who focused on furniture design and more architectural projects later in life, has had such an impact on these new designs. The Vent collection was born from a trip designer Karen Konzuk took to Marfa, Texas in 2004. Konzuk was struck by the angles of the metal and the reflective nature of the pieces in Judd's 100 Untitled Works in Mill Aluminum. The idea to create jewelry inspired by these works stayed with the designer for four years as she searched for a way to realize such an ambitious collection.
To create the Vent pieces the designer needed to purchase a laser welder - an uncommon tool for any jeweler to employ. The laser welder allows Konzuk to go beyond machining and milling and gives her the ability to build the pieces in stainless steel with invisible weld lines (a normal welder would melt metal into oblivion). Each piece in the Vent collection is welded by hand. Konzuk's use of angles, unusual welding techniques, and white powder coating, and the rings, earrings, bracelets, cufflinks and pendants that comprise this collection confirm the designer's astute appreciation for architectural detail as well as her incredible technical skill.
Konzuk is available in select boutiques and design stores worldwide. The complete collections may also be viewed online at http://www.konzuk.com/ (PRWEB) November 13, 2008

New Fashion Style Debut: Premier Coin Edge Tungsten Wedding Band Ring for Men

This is the first time the coin edge motif has been offered crafted from tungsten carbide and it's the perfect choice for a wedding ring to suit the man with an active lifestyle. The exclusive design is the latest addition to the extensive fine jewelry collection for women and men offered by Titanium Kay.
Los Angeles, CA Titanium Kay, one of the most trusted online jewelers based in Los Angeles, California is pleased to announce the introduction of their Premier Coin Edge Tungsten Wedding Band Ring.

Tungsten carbide and titanium are two of the most durable metals for the crafting fine jewelry. With a well-earned reputation for traditional and innovative styles from the most respected designers, in 1994 Titanium Kay became one of the first to specialize in producing jewelry made from aircraft grade titanium.
Their latest creation, the exclusive tungsten carbide coin edge wedding band ring for men is manufactured in a gunmetal color, polished to a high finish. The sophisticated presentation of the ring carries the distinctive "reeding" or grooved notch design originally produced on the edge of coins during the minting process to deter counterfeiting.
This coin edge motif was first made popular as a part of jewelry design in modern times by Tiffany & Company. Yet this motif is not new: it has been discovered on archaeological artifacts in Greece from the 5th Century BC where it was used to decorate the traditional "lekythos" ceramics used for storing olive oil. Today this design is used to give character to a variety of jewelry items including watches, bracelets, pendants and earrings.
Pairing the incredible strength of tungsten carbide with the elegant coin edge motif produces a stunning and unique men's wedding band ring. With a hardness rating of 8.5 to 9.5 on the Mohs scale, this metal has been used industrially for years for its wear-resistance, making it an ideal medium for mens jewelry.
In addition to traditional and modern wedding band ring styles, there are futuristic jewelry designs created from black tungsten carbide, stainless steel, carbon fiber and black zirconium. Tungsten carbide rings are impervious to damage from normal daily wear, easily maintained and provide a unique fashion statement for men who want durability without sacrificing style.
The Premier Coin Edge Tungsten Carbide Wedding Band Ring can be personalized with custom laser engraving to commemorate your special day. This wedding ring design is available online exclusively at www.titaniumkay.com. (PRWEB) November 11, 2008

Sirtuin Skin – Proven Revitalization Using Resveratrol

Miami – RevGenetics (www.revgenetics.com), at the forefront of developing uncommonly effective products using common herbal ingredients, unveils Sirtuin Skin, a resveratrol powered skin care cream. Sirtuin Skin is a resveratrol cream with proven peptides that revitalizes and moisturizes, making skin look and feel younger, longer. Derived from varying sources, including certain red grape skins, resveratrol is considered most beneficial for a broad range of age related conditions because of its powerful Sirtuin activity.

“Sirtuins have shown efficacy in preclinical models for metabolic, neurodegenerative and inflammatory issues* as well as protecting cells against reactive oxygen species, DNA damage, and premature cell death; we believe that these are just three of the powerful skin care benefits offered by resveratrol in Sirtuin Skin,” said Anthony Loera, president of RevGenetics. Resveratrol is one of four powerful skin rejuvenating ingredients of Sirtuin Skin that make this skin care system unique and effective at protecting skin cells, eliminating lines, moisturizing and maintaining skin looking young.
The best skin creams on the market contain Idebenone, prized for its antioxidant properties. Recent studies show resevratol is 17 times more effective for skin care uses. Even more impressive, the Sirtuin cream is thought to have environmental protection properties Idebenone lacks.
“We know elements in the compound control cell function and therefore, indirectly, genes. That may be the genesis of resveratrol’s unique power,” Loera said. Whatever the precise function, the antioxidant results are beyond question.
Often powder forms of the compound are composed of particles that are simply too large to be useful. That’s why RevGenetics proprietary micronized resveratrol is so important. Through the use of proven skin peptides that improve skin appearance and work at the cellular level, Sirtuin Skin is able to use its small resveratrol particles effectively.
Sirtuin Skin’s special ingredients give it unique properties that put it on the cutting edge of skin care science.
