Are there skin treatments to make my skin more youthful?
We have highlighted 4 nutrients here that are particularly beneficial:
Cranberry Seed Oil – is a superb skin nutrient. It has the highest tocotrienol content of any botanical oil and naturally contains an almost perfect balance of omega 3, 6, and 9 fatty acids.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) – one of nature's most versatile substances. It enables cells in the dermis and epidermis to retain moisture by providing nourishment directly at the cellular level.
Gamma Tocopherol – part of the Vitamin E family. Recent studies suggest this nutrient plays a vital role in protecting skin cells.
Alpha Lipoic Acid - helps inhibit harmful glycation which occurs when we have too much sugar in our blood because the excess sugar cross-links with protein. This destroys the function of many enzymes and results in damaged facial tissue, and saggy wrinkled skin. Rather, Alpha Lipoic Acid sends the sugar to the mitochondria in muscle cells so that it can be utilized as energy. Alpha Lipoic Acid is a powerful antioxidant. It is very unique for two reasons 1) it functions in both fat and water soluble environments in the body making it so that it can protect a much wider range of physiological environments than other antioxidants and 2) it recycles other antioxidants like vitamin C, E, glutathione and CoQ10. Therefore, you can take less of these other antioxidants and yet get the benefits as if you were taking more because they are recycled.
The best way to take Alpha Lipoic Acid is in its powder form inside of two-piece capsules. In this way it is best absorbed and utilized in the body.
Advanced Antioxidant System - works synergistically to protect the skin from internal and external free radical damage. Vitamins A, C and E, along with alpha lipoic acid and selenium, are strengthened by a natural carotene complex and tocotrienols from cranberry seeds.
