An object of the present invention is to inhibit a component having an action of directly capturing acrolein or 4-hydroxynonenal that has already been generated, that is, inhibition of adduct formation between acrolein or 4-hydroxynonenal and a protein in a living body. It is an object to provide an agent and a skin anti-aging external preparation or an anti-aging food or drink containing the same. SOLUTION: Containing at least one of catechin, gallic acid and derivatives thereof, caffeic acid, glutathione, thioproline, thiotaurine, and cysteine, which are excellent in inhibiting the formation of adducts of acrolein and 4-hydroxynonenal with proteins in vivo. By doing so, it became possible to provide a skin anti-aging external preparation and anti-aging food and drink. |
