Medical advisor at Jeunesse is honored for his Stem Cell research.
Dr. Vincent Giampapa, medical advisor at Jeunesse, was recently nominated for a 2014 Nobel Prize in the area of Stem Cell Research. The Nobel Prize Nomination was given for the potential impact Dr. Giampapa’s technology may have on the global aging epidemic as well as the financial impact of future health care in all countries with aging demographics, especially in the United States.
“My work in Stem Cell Research has its origin in the new science of Epigenetics—that is, the ability to help cells work more optimally so that people age efficiently.
This is the same concept behind what was designed into the Jeunesse AM & PM Essentials formula. The use of a specific combination of naturally-occurring plant compounds creates a synergistic effect inside the 50 trillion cells that make up the body.
The result is something you can feel and see in just a very short time: like visibly younger looking skin as well as more energy to face daily challenges. Epigenetic research has facilitated amazing new products like AM & PM Essentials, and this recent Nobel Prize Nomination, for which I’m grateful.”
Dr. Giampapa headed the development for AM & PM Essentials™, the first
