• Lutein improves eye and skin healthA new study from Italian researchers demonstrates that lutein, when taken on a daily basis, can boost the skin's natural antioxidants, improving the skin's natural defense system. Lutein has long been known to promote eye health, and now, has been shown to also provide skin benefits. The skin benefits of lutein include improved hydration, elasticity, and increased amount of superficial lipids in the skin. Lutein also seems to decrease the levels of oxidation; a degradative process which breaks down skin lipids and leads to skin which looks aged or worn.
  • Zinc and your skinFor more than 100 years, zinc ointments have been recommended for skin care treatment of acne, rashes, cuts, eczema, and dry skin. Zinc works by activating enzymes which promote a healthy immune system. Zinc is a vital element to maintaining the effectiveness of the skin's protective barrier. With too little zinc, your skin can crack open, exposing your internal organs to environmental bacteria.
  • Folate for great skin.Folate is one of the B vitamins. It is particularly important for cells which rapidly divide and regenerate- including skin cells. Most of us don't get enough folate. Mild folate deficits are not usually noticed.
