Theaflavin (TF) is a rather unknown chemical, and it seems that no-one has ever mentioned it on here, until now.
Theaflavins are a group of polyphenolic compounds found in black tea, formed during the fermentation of tea leaves. Types of theaflavins include:
Theaflavin (TF)
Theaflavin-3-gallate (TF-3-G)
Theaflavin-3'-gallate (TF-3'-G)
Theaflavin-3,3'-digallate (TFDG)
Theaflavins have lots of benefits, serving anti-inflammatory effects, cardiovascular benefits, anti-obesity effects, skin benefits, etc. However that's not what I want to talk about. The reason I come here today is to talk about on how it can be used as a substitute for Volufiline, potentially working in nearly 100% of cases.
study:
pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Sourcing from this study, The TF's effects on adipogenesis include:
Enhanced adipogenetic differentiation - The TF-enriched fraction promoted adipogenetic differentiation of primary human subcutaneous fat cells (hSCFs).
To explain what adipogenetic differentiation is, it is a process in which a less specialized cell (preadipocyte) develops to acquire a more specialized form and function (mature adipocyte). What this means is TFs could be used for skin rejuvenation.
Upregulation of adipogenesis-related genes - There was an upregulation in the expression of genes associated with adipogenesis, such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) and adiponectin (ADIPOQ).
Increased adiponectin secretion - The treated cells showed elevated levels of adiponectin secretion, a hormone involved in regulating glucose levels and fatty acid breakdown.
No adverse effects on cell viability - Most importantly, the TF-enriched fraction did NOT have a negative impact on the viability of hSCFs.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEAFLAVIN AND VOLUFILINE, AND WHY THEAFLAVIN IS BETTER
Volufiline is an ingredient that stimulates differentiation of already mature adipocytes, meaning it can't create new fat cells, it only stimulates the ones that already exist.
Theaflavin, on the other hand, encourages the differentiation of preadipocytes, the cells that yet have to decide on what role to take on. This way, Theaflavin guarantees the increase of the number of the subcutaneous fat cells, the cells you're chasing with Volufiline.
Conclusion:
The study showed that TF's effects align with those of Volufiline, except they're guaranteed, faster, and the results are permanent.

Theaflavin-Enriched Fraction Stimulates Adipogenesis in Human Subcutaneous Fat Cells - PMC
Skin provides the first defense line against the environment while preserving physiological homeostasis. Subcutaneous tissues including fat depots that are important for maintaining skin structure and alleviating senescence are altered during aging. ...
