The drink, which was created by NASA to protect astronauts from the harmful effects of solar radiation, may become the best-selling product that prolongs youth. According to research, a “space drink” called AS10 can significantly reduce facial wrinkles and other signs of aging in less than four months. What is the new elixir of youth?
The drink is a mixture of exotic fruits and other plant derivatives, including Brazilian cupuaçu fruit, acai berries, prickly pear, Barbadian cherry, grape, green tea and pomegranate. In addition to a rich cocktail of vitamins and antioxidants, the drink contains a high dose of phytochemicals that, according to studies, help protect cells from harmful effects radiation.
The results of the impact of the space drink
A team of scientists from the University of Utah in the United States invited about 200 participants, mostly women, who drank about 60 milliliters of this drink per day. Four months later, dermatologists studied photographs taken using special exposure to light, which reveals the condition of the skin under the surface, before and after the experiment. Scientists were amazed at the radical changes on the face of the participants in the experiment. On average, there was a 30 percent reduction in dark spots from radiation exposure and a 17 percent reduction in wrinkles.
Dr. Aaron Barson, who conducted the study, explained that the antioxidants in the drink helped fight oxidative stress. It occurs when toxic molecules in the body, or as they are also called free radicals, damage skin cells. Antioxidants help the skin regenerate more quickly and naturally.
Scientists said they are going to conduct a larger study to find out the effects of the space drink. The active ingredients in AS10 were initially tested in mice in 2011. At that time, the study found that the survival rate for mice exposed to high levels of radiation that received supplements from the drink was 80 percent compared to 30 percent in control group.
