kinetin (N6-furfuryladenine)

kinetin (N6-furfuryladenine) is a nature-based identical plant growth factor — a plant hormone responsible for cell division. This molecule is a cytokinin- an essential plant growth factor that delays age-related changes in plants. N6-furfuryladenine in plants promotes cell division and helps to ensure the orderly growth and development of the plant. As a “natural” skin-care ingredient, it is promoted primarily as having been clinically proven to reduce the signs of aging, improve sun damage, reduce surfaced capillaries, and offer many other skin benefits of particular interest to aging baby boomers. Although the N6 furfuryladenine in Kinerase is a synthetic product, it is nature identical (has exactly the same structure and activity) as the natural molecule. In vitro studies have shown that the compound may also delay or prevent a range of cellular changes associated with aging of human skin cells, including the following: alteration in cell morphology, growth rate and size; changes in the organization of the cytoskeleton; changes in the synthesis of macromolecules; accumulation of lipofuscin aging pigments.
