Skincare and LPS

(8) Capillary and LPS

A capillary vessel occupy 99% of the whole blood vessel. The capillary vessel that refreshes the body by delivering oxygen and nutrients to every cell of the body and collecting carbon dioxide and waste products is said to be “better to increase” by MD. Hideyuki Negoro, the leading expert (*1).

In the skin, capillary vessels are stretched over the dermis layer (not the epidermis), delivering the nutrients necessary for the production of collagen and elastin in the dermis, cell division for epidermis turnover, and hair growth in the scalp. For the maintenance of the health and beauty of the skin, the number and quality of capillaries is an important factor.

In fact, this capillary vessel deteriorates with age and is called “ghost capillary.” A balanced diet, high-quality sleep, and moderate exercise are basic factors that prevent capillary aging; however, recent reports suggest that LPS ingestion increases the number of capillary vessels (*2). LPS that increases the number of capillaries will serve as an ingestible cosmetic that helps in making the skin beautiful. In the section "Hair growth and LPS,” it is described that there is an effect of hair growth on LPS ingestion; however, this may be one of the mechanisms for improving blood flow caused by an increase in the number of capillary blood vessels.
