1,5-ANHYDRO-D-GLUCITOL-CONTAINING COLLAGEN PRODUCTION ACCELERATOR

摘要

A collagen production accelerator, for accelerating production of collagen in cells, containing at least one substance selected from the group consisting of 1,5-anhydro-D-glucitol and derivatives thereof. In addition, a composition containing the collagen production accelerator. This collagen production accelerator containing 1,5-AG or a derivative thereof accelerates production of collagen in cells, and is therefore suitable for use in, e.g., a cosmetic, a medical formulation, or a food item to which the collagen production accelerator is added in order to prevent and/or mitigate skin wrinkling.
