Professionally referred to as "salmon PDRN," DNA derived from salmon testicles imparts a dewy and radiant appearance to the skin. Beauty professionals and extensive research endorse its regenerative and anti-inflammatory properties. A particular study indicated that salmon sperm is linked to enhanced skin elasticity and elevated collagen levels, both of which are essential for maintaining youthful skin.
What is Salmon PDRN?
Salmon PDRN, short for "polydeoxyribonucleotides," is a type of sperm DNA mostly taken from salmon trout or chum salmon. It works by targeting a specific protein that helps boost the wound-healing process when activated.
So, why is it sourced from the testicles? The salmon's reproductive organs have a high concentration of DNA, making it easier and more cost-effective to extract.
One of the great things about salmon DNA is that it is very similar to human DNA, which means it works well with our body’s cells. The extraction and purification processes remove any active proteins and peptides that could cause immune reactions, leaving us with pure DNA that won’t negatively impact the skin.
