Skin Supplements – Anti-Ageing Benefit or Hype?
There is curently a significant growth in the use of skin supplements to help the traditional approach to anti-ageing using creams and lotions.
These contain a variety of supplements that are designed to boost skin vitality and reach parts of your body that creams cannot reach.
One of the newer additions to the UK market is GliSODin® which contains a vegetable form of Superoxide Dismutase that promises to fight free radicals and slow down the normal signs of ageing. Worldwide sales to date of over 30 milllion dollars suggest that the product is indeed effective at reducing UV-induced oxidative stress apparently responsible for 80% of skin ageing.
Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) is a well-known and extensively studied biologically active compound produced by most cells of the body. As we age, production of SOD diminishes. SOD is often referred to as the Powerhouse Antioxidant or Master Defense enzyme. It is critical to cellular health, protecting the cells from excessive oxygen radicals, free radicals and other noxious agents that cause premature aging or eventual cell death.
The product is available in a trufil vegetarian capsule form in packs of 30 or 60 with a recommended dose of 2 capsules daily for one month reducing to 1 capsule daily thereafter as a maintenace dose.
Vitabiotics Perfectil Plus contain lycopene, lutein and co-enzyme Q10 along with omega-3 and omega-6 fish oils and starflower seed oils. Designed to hydrate the skin from within to boost firmness and protect from UV damage.
Caudalie Vinocaps contain anti-oxidants such as virgin primrose oil, gapevine polyphenols and redensifying reservatrol to give a more supple and hopefully less-lined skin. Available in a pack of 60 capsules with the dose dependent upon skin dryness.
Murad Wet Suit Cell Hydrating Supplement are designed to strengthen cell membranes and lock in cellular water leading to smoother tighter skin. Dr Murad suggests that the problem of not drinking enough water combined with the bodies utilisation of that water is the issue leading to dry sagging skin as we age. Supplied in packs of 60 tablets with a dose of 2 tablets daily.
