What is PhytoSpherix®?
PhytoSpherix® is 100% plant-based glycogen (phytoglycogen), which energizes the skin’s natural ability to produce collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid for optimal hydration and a silky smooth, glowing complexion.
Why is glycogen important to skin health?
Glycogen is composed entirely of glucose (sugar) and is your body’s way of storing energy. Glycogen is found in every cell in the body but is mainly stored in the liver and muscles where it can be quickly broken down to release energy when needed. Glycogen energizes cells to keep them functioning normally and effectively.
Glycogen is also found in the skin where it serves a similar purpose. When applied topically, glycogen fuels your cells, improving overall skin health and production of elastin, collagen and hyaluronic acid. All of our products contain glycogen to energize your skin - revealing a revitalized and rejuvenated complexion, naturally.
Why choose Phytoglycogen?
Traditionally, glycogen has been derived from animal sources, typically marine shellfish. This can be problematic for those with shellfish allergies. The extraction process also uses harsh chemicals which can result in broken or fragmented glycogen and often leaves residual contaminants.
The term “phytoglycogen” refers to glycogen derived from plants. Our PhytoSpherix® phytoglycogen is 100% derived from natural plant sources. We use a water extraction process to isolate the glycogen, leaving the molecule completely intact and unmodified, for a natural beauty boost.
