Scientists from Flinders University have discovered rich anti-aging properties in South Australian brown seaweed that significantly increase collagen levels in the skin and protect against the deterioration of both collagen and elastin. Professor Wei Zhang "We found that extracts from South Australian brown seaweed have huge potential to be used to help slow the effects of aging on our skin," says Professor Wei Zhang, College of Medicine and Public Health. "Collagen acts as a building block for bones, teeth, muscles, skin, joints and connective tissue, while elastin gives skin its elasticity and strength - and both these proteins are popularly promoted by the beauty industry as essential for the appearance of healthy skin," he says.
