Improving Skin Health
Most people don’t want to look old and will spend money on going to a beauty therapist for their skin, when you actually need to work on your inner health to get the best result. There are specific nutrients that address the underlying causes of skin ageing:
- Collagen Protein- Collagen is the main structural component of skin, with approximately 80% of the skin’s dry weight being collagen. Collagen supports skin elasticity, firmness and skin health in females
- Vitamin D- plays a part in extending life through the upregulation of Nrf2 and the subsequent inhibition of oxidative stress and DNA damage.
- Alpha EFA- Sea buckthorn berry is used in traditional Asian medicine systems (Tibetan, Mongolian and Chinese) to support healthy blood circulation and the maintenance of healthy skin and mucous membranes.
- Glutagenics or GIT Nopal- It has been repeatedly shown there is an important relationship between the gut and skin health. Collagen is found in tissues such as the submucosa of the gut. The submucosa is a thin collagen-rich extracellular matrix, which supports the mucosa that lines the GI tract, so it is important to provide gastrointestinal support for collagen production.
