The obvious questions
What does the enzyme do?
The engineered enzyme performs enzymatic deglycation to reverse specific protein damage that accumulates in human tissue over time.
How effective has the treatment been?
Studies on donor skin samples indicate the enzyme can erase up to 70% of the targeted chemical mark of aging.
Has this been tested in living humans?
Coverage confirms the testing was conducted on human tissue samples; it does not specify any testing in living humans.
