C-esta® Line

Unparalleled Skin Care Management

Medical research has established that vitamin C plays an essential role in every aspect of the skin's functioning, including protection from UV damage and repair of

cumulative sun-induced aging factors. It has also been proven that for vitamin C to be present in the skin in medically efficacious levels, it must be transported into cells through topical application.

The Power Behind C-ESTA: Ascorbyl Palmitate and DAE Complex

C-ESTA is a complex technology that involves stabilization, optimum skin absorption, adequate activity levels, and documented studies on human tissue that substantiate actual physiological changes. The C-ESTA Fact Sheet presents an overview about C-ESTA methods of action, its effectiveness as compared to other forms of vitamin C, and its specific benefits. The Fact Sheet focuses on C-ESTA's two distinct modes of action: Ascorbyl Palmitate and DAE Complex. Read the C-ESTA Fact Sheet.

C-estamins® With BioCell

Promotes Energy and Provides Support for Enhanced Well-Being and Longevity

C-ESTAMINS are the most advanced and comprehensive anti-aging nutritional supplement available today. C-ESTAMINS supplies many critical components that have been shown to promote energy and provide support for enhanced well-being and longevity. Our once-daily packets are also formulated to assist in noticeably improving the appearance of aging and sun-damaged skin.

Patented BioCell Technology

C-ESTAMINS contains a patented technology called BioCell Collagen II®. BioCell has been the focus of two double blind placebo controlled studies that confirm the effects of BioCell on factors that influence skin elasticity and volume, improving skin texture and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

BioCell is a revolutionary discovery that addresses one of the common denominators in aging: loss of connective tissue. Connective tissue helps to give form and structure by acting as a "filler agent" and providing volume.

Rejuvenating Hyaluronic Acid

One of the primary components involved in this process is Hyaluronic Acid, a water-filled gel. The human body produces approximately 3,000 milligrams of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) daily. Because we lose Hyaluronic Acid each day, our body constantly produces more in order to replenish daily loss.

As we age, sun exposure and factors such as a decline in hormones cause a sharp drop in our internal concentrations of HA. By the time we are 40 years of age, most people are producing significantly lower levels of HA.

Some of the highest levels of HA are found in the skin. Many researchers believe that if we could maintain or increase our levels of HA, we would prevent many of the outward signs of aging such as wrinkles and sagging skin.

Replenishing Hyaluronic Acid Orally

What if we could increase our internal levels of HA? Unfortunately, topical application, such as moisturizers contain extremely large molecules that can only help to lock in existing surface moisture. BioCell is a breakthrough technology where the HA molecule has been reduced and combined with other constituents of connective tissue into a natural matrix. Taken orally, BioCell is easily absorbed by the body. It is the most potent and well documented substance of this type shown to increase internal stores of HA and visibly improve the appearance of skin.

Benefits to Patients

More than half of the body's HA is found in the skin. Numerous clinical studies have demonstrated that by increasing HA through oral supplementation, users report:

A visible lessening of facial wrinkles
Improved facial and body skin texture
Noticeably increased moisture content
An increased appearance of firmness and volume
Jan Marini Skin Research is the only company to produce a comprehensive anti-aging supplement that contains the full recommended amount of BioCell

C-esta® Fact Sheet

Ascorbyl Palmitate

What is Ascorbyl Palmitate?

Ascorbyl Palmitate is a lipid (fat) soluble form of vitamin C. Ascorbyl Palmitate maintains all the physiologic activity of vitamin C without the problems that can be associated with ascorbic acid (the common water soluble form of vitamin C).

Ascorbyl Palmitate turns on cellular machinery. Human cell cultures designed to closely simulate the human body demonstrate this effect. By enhancing the cells' ability to function more effectively, cells are better able to repair any damage and generally "act" in a younger manner.

Ascorbyl Palmitate is a neutral pH (non-acidic) molecule. C-ESTA can be applied to any skin type without irritation as opposed to ascorbic acid, which has extremely low acidic pH and can create inflammation. C-ESTA does not sting or burn. C-ESTA can be used with glycolic acid, Retin-Aä and after laser resurfacing to assist in the recovery process.

Because Ascorbyl Palmitate is fat soluble, it penetrates the skin very rapidly and intersperses in the cell membrane. This affinity with the cell membrane results in tremendous antioxidant benefits and helps to prevent cellular aging such as:

Cross linking of collagen
Oxidation of proteins
Lipid peroxidation

Ascorbyl Palmitate acts as an anti-inflammatory. The molecule was tested on several human inflammatory models. Studies demonstrated anti-inflammatory activity when Ascorbyl Palmitate is applied to psoriasis. Studies also show that Ascorbyl Palmitate can dramatically decrease UVB-induced erythema (sunburn) when applied topically.

Ascorbyl Palmitate is more active than ascorbic acid. A study conducted at the University of North Carolina compared the efficacy of ascorbic acid and Ascorbyl Palmitate in the suppression of phorbol ester-induced tumor production (tumors nearly identical to those caused by UV light exposure). This study demonstrated that, while Ascorbyl Palmitate and ascorbic acid both have tumor suppressing activity, Ascorbyl Palmitate was 30 times more effective than ascorbic acid at 1/4 the dose.

Ascorbyl Palmitate is extremely stable. Ascorbyl Palmitate is the only vitamin C molecule that maintains vitamin C activity for long periods of time. C-ESTA products have a normal two-year shelf life.

Ascorbyl Palmitate enhances vitamin E activity in the skin. Because Ascorbyl Palmitate can reside in the cell membrane, it can regenerate the vitamin E radical on a continuous basis. This is as opposed to ascorbic acid, which only interacts with vitamin E at the interface of the water-soluble and lipid components.

Ascorbyl Palmitate has been proven to be physiologically active in human cell cultures.

Ascorbyl Palmitate shows greater activity than Ascorbic Acid in fibroblast growth and collagen production.
Ascorbyl Palmitate shows greater activity than Ascorbic Acid at lower doses.

Ascorbyl Palmitate has better skin absorption and retention than Ascorbic Acid. In a study conducted by a division of Proctor & Gamble, skin absorption was compared between Ascorbyl Palmitate and ascorbic acid. At two hours, skin absorption of Ascorbyl Palmitate was far greater than ascorbic acid. At 24 hours, the amount of Ascorbyl Palmitate was over nine times greater.

Patients and physicians observe the following benefits:

Thicker dermis
Skin appears more resilient
Skin appears plumper and thicker
Decrease in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Skin appears softer, smoother and more refined
Reflective quality of skin is enhanced
Lessening of redness due to irritation and inflammation
Facial skin appears more even toned
Skin that tends toward sensitivity is far less reactive;
Lessening of the appearance of telangiectasis

About DAE Complex®

DAE Complex is a powerful "antioxidant cocktail" that acts by stabilizing cell membranes. Stability of the cell membrane is critical to insuring that the cell functions at optimum levels. DAE Complex protects and enhances cellular activities. DAE Complex contains a proprietary delivery agent that acts as a penetration enhancer, enabling Ascorbyl Palmitate to penetrate to a more beneficial level. C-ESTA causes a noticeable improvement in the appearance of sagging and redundant skin. The delivery agent in DAE Complex is also a precursor of Acetyl Choline. Acetyl Choline is partly responsible for muscle tone. C-ESTA's DAE Complex stimulates Acetyl Choline resulting in the appearance of tighter and firmer skin with more defined facial contours.

Patients and physicians observed the following benefits:

Increased muscle tone
Lessening of the nasolabial fold
Decreased redundancy of upper eyelids
Overall appearance of tighter and more defined facial contours
Overall appearance of skin IS younger and healthier
