Anti-Aging Substance Found in Bullfrogs

According to a new study, Botox may soon have a new competitor – bullfrogs.

South Korean researchers are saying that the bullfrog may contain a beneficial anti-aging substance that humans could use, French news agency AFP reports.

Professor Kim Se-kwon’s team from Pukyong University in Busan, South Korea, identified the substance as peptide with antioxidant properties that come right from the frog’s skin.

Kim said the properties in the substance are useful in removing free radicals, or molecules that slow the aging process of human cells.
