Healthy Youthful Skin
This is interesting. There are so many skin
healthy ingredients in this protocol, how
could there be any other outcome. I think
it’s important to remember that therapeutic
results are better achieved when natural
compounds are given in combination,
creating a synergistic effect. To maintain
healthy, young looking skin it makes sense
to choose supplements that protect against
oxidative stress, aging, inflammation,
overexposure to sunlight light, and help
promote collagen production. The following
is a brief description of the ingredients used
in the study. Carotenoids like zeaxanthin
provide protection to the eyes and skin
from harmful ultraviolet radiation.
Ceramides are natural components of the
skin that provide moisture and structure,
and help maintain skin elasticity, reducing
wrinkles and prevent thinning of the skin.
Lipoic acid is well known as an antioxidant
with an ability act in both fat and water
soluble tissue. This quality allows lipoic acid
to be absorbed in many types of tissue, like
the skin, to prevent aging. Hyaluronic acid
is a polysaccharide widely distributed in
connective tissue and because of its unique
capacity for retaining water; its function in
the body is to provide hydration and
lubrication in the joints and skin. Gotu kola,
also called centella asiatica, is an herb often
used for circulation that may inhibit
enzymes that break down collagen while
simultaneously increase the rate that
collagen is synthesized. Any increase in
collagen synthesis will cause firmness and
tightening of the skin. Vitamin D helps
maintain healthy skin by regulating
epidermal cell growth. Supporting and
maintaining normal cell growth can help
prevent skin from sagging and becoming
thin and dry. Try a combination of some or
all of the listed products and see if you get
the same results. And don’t forget to use a
topical cream like the one used in the study.
To help you find a cream, ask one of our
pharmacists or nutritionists to assist you.
Additional Comments from Sam Forbes, CN
U
ltraviolet sunlight damages skin, and
natural compounds like zeaxanthin, the
bright yellow antioxidant carotenoid that
protects the eye, also protects the skin. In this
study, 31 older women took a placebo or a
supplement containing zeaxanthin,
buckthorn fruit oil, wheat ceramides, alpha
lipoic acid, green tea, red clover leaf, gotu
kola seed, Pycnogenol®, and vitamins C, D
and E. A third group received the supplement
protocol plus applied an antioxidant skin
cream with hyaluronic acid. The placebo
group did not change, but the active groups
had more hydrated skin at two weeks, fewer
fine lines at four weeks, and less-severe
wrinkles at 12 weeks, with plumper,
smoother skin.

I
n the lab, doctors gave mother rats with
high blood pressure resveratrol during and
for 21 days after pregnancy, and gave
resveratrol to their offspring in the first days
of life. By adulthood, the offspring had
significantly lower blood pressure than their
mothers, meaning any hereditary tendency
to high blood pressure did not pass to the
next generation. Positive results in this study
may lead to larger human trials.
