I was just reading about how palmitoyl pentapeptide-3 can reduce and eliminate fine lines and wrinkles over time through increasing total collagen output by 117%, Collagen IV by 327%, and HA by 267% as well as supporting cell turnover in the skin and I'm thinking that something like this could straighten out the ECM as well as flush out AGEs, particularly glucosepane. 

 

I think we should be experimenting with it to these ends in some model or another (don't have anything particular in mind at present). But let's discuss. What can we find out about this stuff? Has anyone tried this systemically? Used a skin care product that uses it? Do we need to worry that some products use a long term detrimentally high overdose as a means of competition with other vendors?

Hmmm... seems that the matrixyl 3000 thing I was looking at wasn't a different formula containing matrxyl... it was a different formula that achieved different results that I'm thinking won't make you as young. Still, there are palmitoyl pentapeptide-3 suppliers out there and a few brands that use it.

Peptide Sciences sells it for $200/200mg.

Very expensive for such a small amount. It's likely very potent, but unless it includes licensing of the Matrixyl name, I'm not so sure it's got value and I'm not sure how far it would go or how sustainably one could treat themselves at this price point, esp. if they wanted to take it internally somehow. I'd expect to see larger bottles, like 500ml for around that price point. For comparison, insulin, even in the US is $25 for that much at brick and mortar pharmacies, and more people need rejuvenation than have diabetes.
