Snap-8 10mg

Description

SNAP-8, also known as Acetyl Octapeptide-3 , has been shown to improve the structure of the skin and decrease the effects of wrinkles caused by the contraction of facial muscles. SNAP-8 is a string of 8 peptides and is commonly compared to the popular wrinkle treatment, Argireline. The two differ when it comes to their peptide chain length as Argireline is considered a hexapeptide. There is evidence indicating that the extra two peptides included in SNAP-8 enhance the anti-aging effects of the compound

Similar to other forms of wrinkle prevention such as botox, SNAP-8 inhibits muscle contraction in muscles that control facial expressions such as the forehead and near the eyes. SNAP-8 tends to compete with SNAP proteins for the receptor on the SNARE complex in order to prompt the release of neurotransmitters. When the receptor on the SNARE complex is compromised the complex is unable to efficiently release neurotransmitters which prevents involuntary and voluntary muscle movement.

SNAP-8 works by mimicking SNAP-25, a compound known to downregulate the activity of voltage-gated calcium channels. That being said, SNAP-8 compromises the SNARE complex and results in decreased secretion of glutamate. Research shows that when a 1.5 mM concentration of SNAP-8 is given, inhibition of the neurotransmitters reaches approximately 43%. The 43% inhibition rate is close in comparison to the optimal inhibition rate for wrinkle reduction of 62%. Further studies examined the synergistic effect between SNAP-8 and other independently tested compounds and found inhibition levels to be around 38% in vitro assay. The same study tested these compounds together at the same concentration level of 0.75 mM and found inhibition levels rose to a total of 47%. The findings of these studies are compared to the mean value of inhibition levels to be around 35%
