Frequently Asked Questions
Are your products tested on animals?
No, we do not test on animals, nor do we perform (third party or otherwise) or condone any animal testing.
I have heard that peptides cannot penetrate the cell without a carrier, is that true?
Some peptides do require carriers, whether they are liposomal or chaperone molecules, while other peptides will penetrate a cell without any help at all. Peptides can activate cells in many different ways.
- Some peptides must penetrate the cell membrane to act in the cytoplasm (inside the cell) or organelles within the cells
- Others are only meant to bind to receptors on the cell surface
- Some peptides can create a reaction in the extracellular matrix (outside of the cell) that will, in turn, produce an outcome from the cell.
- There is a class of peptides known as carrier peptides! New treatments are utilizing cell-penetrating peptides to carry other molecules (that cannot penetrate) into the cells.
Each peptide has a specific destination. Viktoria De’Ann employs only the correct tools necessary to deliver each peptide to the correct cellular target.
How many product drops are in each bottle?
Each bottle of peptides contains a little over a month’s worth of product.
- There are approximately 20 drops per milliliter.
- In a 1oz bottle, which is approximately 30 milliliters, there are about 600 drops.
- Two applications per day of 10 drops would provide a 30-day supply.
- 5-8 drops is a standard application that should provide more than a 30-day supply.
