BioActive X3 Complex™ | Laboratory Study
It’s one thing for a Skin Care company to tell you their products work. It’s an entirely different thing to have independent scientific studies confirming their efficacy.
BioActive X3 Complex™ is the patent-pending, active ingredient in all Glimpse Nutrition Skin Care products. In third party analysis and in-vitro studies, this exclusive xanthone complex was shown to:
1. Calm the signs of inflammation.
2. Promote natural collagen production.
3. Protect the skin against the oxidizing effects of free radicals.
1. Calm the signs of inflammation
BioActive X3 Complex causes significant reduction in IL-6 (interleukin-6), a type of inflammatory cytokine.

3. Protect the skin against the oxidizing effects of free radicals
BioActive X3 Complex demonstrates significantly higher antioxidant activities compared to green tea and other cosmetic ingredients.
• DPPH (2,2-Diphenyl-1-Picrylhydrazyl): A stable free radical ideal for antioxidant studies because it is prevalent and independent from sample polarity.
• SOD (superoxide dismutase): An enzyme produced in the body that provides antioxidant defense against superoxide. Superoxide is a natural byproduct of toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS). SOD protects the cells from superoxide toxicity through antioxidant activity.
