For a very long time, pearl has been a treasured ingredient in China. Part of the reason is that it is considered a 'potent antioxidant' and 'superb longevity superfood' that battles age degeneration and cellular aging and helps to prolong your lifespan. When I learned that pearl powder (as well as nacre powder - the inner layer of the pearl) could literally help you live longer I knew I needed to share this product with the world. In one of my favorite (and most comprehensive) studies, a group of Chinese scientists looked into pearl powder. They tested their hypotheses on silk worms, mice, and fruit flies, and they confirmed that ingesting pearl powder internally (rather than applying topically) could extend the life span of the subjects of the study to 57%! So, more studies are needed to look into how this would directly correlate to humans, but it is thought that, for humans, consuming pearl powder could positively impact and affect our life span. As well as this, they also looked at the anti-aging power of the pearl powder (thanks, in part, to the strong antioxidant effects), and the study confirmed that the protein extract of pearl powder exhibited the highest antioxidant activity of all the extracts that they looked at. They confirmed the positive impact of pearl powder on aging. It has been proven that Pearl Powder: - Can significantly reduce behavioral and pathological changes associated with sleep deprivation, insomnia, and cognitive decline - Can protect from bacteria, viruses, and the development of cancer cells through enhanced antibody production - Has a significant positive effect on cardiovascular health by enhancing the strength of the heart's contraction without affecting the frequency of the heartbeat; - Several human clinical studies have also shown that ingestion of pearl powder can also help with healthy blood pressure; - Is powerful against hyperpigmentation; and, finally. - It can improve the quality of your life by boosting immune function and memory. Pearl powder and nacre are included in my best-selling products, holi (mane), holi (bath), and holi (water). They are honestly such a stunning part of my formulation.
