When it comes to anti-aging, we all reflexively think of health-care ingredients such as deer placenta, collagen or royal jelly. In fact, these health foods are not the only ones with anti-aging effects. In Japan, the emerging ingredient “salmon proteoglycan” with anti-aging potential is very popular.
What is the ingredient of salmon proteoglycan, and what are its effects and reviews?Let a nutritionist explain it to you today

Analysis 1⟫What are salmon proteoglycans?
Proteoglycans are components that originally exist in the dermal layer of skin tissue. They are composed of multiple glycosaminoglycans and have the properties of retaining moisture and maintaining skin youthfulness.
Salmon proteoglycan is a proteoglycan derived from salmon nasal cartilage. It is manufactured by Japan’s “ICHIMARU PHARCOS”. It is a hot ingredient that dominates Japan’s anti-aging search rankings. It is a functional health material and is widely used in Japan. It has been around for many years.

Analysis of the skin care effects of diglycan
One end of the proteoglycan structure has an epidermal growth factor-like substance that can promote the synthesis of collagen and hyaluronic acid; the other end can combine with hyaluronic acid, which has three major anti-aging effects on the skin:
Function 1⟫Proteoglycan activates skin fibroblasts and keeps skin young
The skin’s fibroblasts have the function of repairing the skin and maintaining youthfulness. However, when excessive free radicals are produced as we age or are exposed to the sun, it will damage the fibroblasts and skin health.
Proteoglycans can maintain skin youthfulness by activating fibroblasts and restore normal physiological metabolism of skin (Linking）。
Function 2: Proteoglycan has the ability to retain water, making the skin supple and elastic.
Because proteoglycans have a glycosaminoglycan structure, they can attract cations and lock a large amount of skin moisture. In addition, proteoglycans are the main substance between skin cells and can fill the gaps between cells and support skin tissue. Makes skin hydrated and elastic.
Efficacy Triglycan contains growth factor-like fragments to promote the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid
Proteoglycans contain fragments similar to epidermal cell growth factors, which can bind to receptors on fibroblasts, activate skin cells, accelerate the metabolism and production of collagen and hyaluronic acid in the skin, prevent wrinkles, and keep the skin young (Linking）。
Although proteoglycans have many functions and can keep the skin young, they will become less and denatured as we age, causing the skin’s anti-aging ability to decline (Linking), resulting in reduced water retention and aging, so salmon proteoglycan functional health care products appeared.
Analyzing the skin care research evidence of salmon proteoglycan
Salmon proteoglycans can be absorbed through the intestines and stomach, enter the blood circulation and play a role in the skin (Linking), there are also a number of animal and human experiments confirming the efficacy of salmon proteoglycans.
Evidence 1⟫Salmon proteoglycan can reduce erythema and water loss in animal experiments
Research points out that ultraviolet stimulation was used to test the skin aging of mice. It was found that mice that consumed salmon proteoglycans had less erythema and skin moisture loss, indicating that supplementing proteoglycans may have anti-aging effects on the skin (Linking）。
Evidence 2⟫Salmon proteoglycan, in human experiments, can reduce skin sagging, wrinkles, and spots, and increase elasticity and moisture content.
The study found that subjects who supplemented salmon proteoglycan for two consecutive weeks could effectively reduce skin sagging, reduce wrinkles, pores and spots, increase skin elasticity, skin moisture content and smoothness, and have the effect of preventing skin aging (Linking）。
Evidence 3⟫Other potential benefits of salmon proteoglycans
In addition to preventing aging, salmon proteoglycans may also have the potential to improve inflammatory diseases.
Because salmon proteoglycans have the property of regulating inflammatory factors, studies have found that feeding mice feed containing salmon proteoglycans can be used to improve inflammatory diseases such as colitis, arthritis, and respiratory inflammation in mice. It is pointed out that salmon proteoglycans have anti-inflammatory properties. Benefits and Potential of Inflammation (Linking）。
At present, the anti-aging mechanism of salmon proteoglycan is not yet completely clear, and some of the mechanisms need to be confirmed by more experiments in the future. However, in terms of anti-aging effects, it already has potential that cannot be ignored.
Conclusion⟫
Salmon proteoglycan can be used to maintain youthful skin. After achieving the benefits of anti-aging, moisturizing and anti-wrinkle, are you more confident in maintaining youthful skin?
However, nutritionists still want to remind everyone that in addition to taking in effective functional ingredients, a balanced diet and a good lifestyle are also very important! Proper exercise and adequate sleep can help you create youthful and ageless skin in a more comprehensive way!
