Timeblock
Timeblock is a research project that was developed in Switzerland to discover Blue Zones and aging process solutions. History and origins. The project Timeblock began as a research project by a group of scientists from the Swiss Bluezones Research Group. The name Bluezones was created by Dr. Michel Poulain and his colleague Giovanni Mario Pes. They discovered the first Blue zone in Italy: an area in which an above average number of people live to be 100 years old or older. In the Year 1997 the Swiss Research Group started investigating lifestyles, diets and living environments in Bluezones areas  (mainly in Japan and Switzerland). Their first focus was the small village Yuzurihara. In 2007 they started to analyse 108 special species of plants for their cancer-fighting and anti-aging properties. In 2014 the Bluezones Research Group and the University of Vienna to investigated secondary plant substances from Bluezone areas (mainly Tibet and Nepal-Himalayas) growing in remote areas and high altitudes to show that Timeblock can slow down cell rejuvenation by lengthen telomeres 17%. Timeblock has two main product lines: Nutrition Care (Nutraceuticals) and Facial Care (Cosmeceuticals) which is claimed to remodel a person's epigenome in order  to optimize the individual DNA. Their Nutraceuticals capsules are vegan, non-GMO, gluten-free, lactose-free, and free from chemical preservatives made of Plants such as Barley Grass, Green Tea (Epigallocatechin Gallate), Wheatgrass, Shiitake Mushrooms (Vitamin D), Marigold (Zeaxanthin and Lutein), Grape Seeds (Flavonoids), Tomatoes (Lycopin), Brown Algae (Omega-3). Whereas, Cosmeceuticals lotion contains Equol, IGF-1 and EGF (insulin-like-growth-factor and epidermal growth factor), EGCG (Epigallocatechin Gallate), Microalgae Extract and Âmeflore pure essence oils to promote cell renewal and regeneration to counteract the signs of aging. The active substance in Timeblock Skin Care is Equol. The topical effect of  Equol as anti-aging and skin health improving substance was shown in different studies. Equol can occur as different isomeres: R-equol, S-equol and RS-equol. Each of these forms has different characters, bioavailabilities and molecular effects. As an antioxidative operating substance, equol can decrease the aging process by reducing ROS events. Additionally, the phytoestrogenic properties influence the skin health positively. Awards. In 2019 TimeBlock won Global Health and Travel Awards "Product of the Year" award.
