Nutritional supplements have come a long way from the minimal, “one-a-day” multivitamins of past generations. Now we have highly targeted antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals that can do everything from sharpening our brain power, repairing our bodies on a cellular level, increase the burning of body fat, regulate blood sugar and insulin, increase muscle mass, improve mood, restore memory and heighten the libido – all actions which decline with age. Many of these super antioxidants penetrate right into the cell where they combat free radicals and decrease inflammation. Because of this, the right supplements can keep us much younger than our chronological years.
Supplements of high quality can (in addition to the anti-inflammatory diet) create beauty from the inside out. Nutrients that possess anti-oxidant properties act as natural anti-inflammatories. I recommend a variety of nutrients that are designed to work synergistically to enhance the benefits of the anti-inflammatory diet. These nutrients offer anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and fat metabolizing boosting benefits and help prevent and reverse oxidative damage on a cellular level, of critical importance as we age. Unfortunately, the same level of repair cannot be achieved through diet alone.
In addition to the recommended vitamins and minerals, a good beauty supplement should contain powerful anti-oxidants and nutrients such as:
- Alpha Lipoic Acid
- Vitamin C Ester
- DMAE (Dimethyl Amino Ethanol)
- Pycnogenol®
- Coenzyme Q-10
- Conjugated Linoleic Acid
- GLA » L-Carnitine Fumerate
- N-Acetyl Carnitine
- Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids
- Carnosine
- Benfotiamine
- Astaxanthin
For a youthful face and body, and a happy positive outlook, the right supplements are indispensible.
