In 1986, the explosion of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the Soviet Union brought about serious radiation pollution, which caused the tragic disappearance of almost all animals and plants 10 kilometers around the nuclear power plant The scientific community predicted that there would be no life here for a hundred years In 1996, a group of scientists in the United States successively entered the high-risk accident area for radiation research nine times To their great surprise, contrary to the prediction 10 years ago, the wild plants in the pollution area began to grow vigorously again Scientists were also surprised to find that a kind of local voles survived tenaciously in the high radiation environment and were still "thriving" A team at the University of Georgia studied voles near the Chernobyl nuclear power plant They found that the vole's ability to resist radiation was about 40 times greater than what biologists thought it was! It has been found that this vole likes to eat a kind of plant seed, and its germ contains a special metal protein, which is a metal binding protein rich in cysteine Its sulfhydryl group can strongly chelate toxic metals and discharge them out of the body, thus realizing the detoxification function It is a famous natural heavy metal antidote It is this kind of substance that makes all kinds of plants resist the radiation hazards and return to the places occupied by human beings It is also this kind of substance that helps voles survive in the high-risk radiation environment and reproduce Now, scientists all over the world have known the protective effect of plant germ extract on radiation damage for a long time Astronauts in the United States and Russia are required to use an expensive skin care product developed by plant germ extract for a long time to prevent radiation damage during their space flight In twenty-first Century, the brand name CISIMONNI West simoni bio beauty eye solution, created by the American Yide health and biological group, successfully extracted the active ingredients from plant germ by hi-tech "acoustic membrane separation technology" It contained peptides, polysaccharides, nucleic acids, amino acids, natural plant extracts, ATP and nutritional ingredients It not only had the ability to resist radiation, but also regulated the capillaries of the eyes Permeability, improve the dynamic blood flow of the visual system, so as to quickly eliminate the effects of relieving visual fatigue, dark circles, eye bags and corner wrinkles, so that the eyes have a sense of luster, moisture and elasticity.
