You are right in that tests of AGE inhibitors or breakers explicitly against glucosepane are a rare find as yet. However I am confident that these do exist. I'll go out on a limb, and suggest one item which I feel would likely do the job, though in a non-discriminatory fashion. *Liposome encapsulated serrapeptase* I have not seen this product in Canada as yet, though non-encapsulated serrapeptase is available now. Some other supplements are encapsulated to improve their absorption characteristics. Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=27878
