Skin Care - VitaMedica - Clinical Support for Healthy Skin

A number of things can contribute to acne including overproduction of sebum and keratin; overgrowth of bacteria (p-acnes); and a toxic buildup in the intestines (the toxins are released from the body through a number of organ systems including the skin). Like acne, the cause of psoriasis is multi-factorial, but nutrient deficiency and bowel toxemia may be contributing factors.

Most treatments involve the use of topicals which have their site of action primarily on the outer layer of the skin. While this represents the first line of defense, it also makes sense to address what is going on internally. VitaMedica's Clinical Support for Healthy Skin addresses these issues internally.

VitaMedica's Clinical Support for Healthy Skin is a nutritional supplement that helps support younger-looking skin in three ways:

Nutrients to Promote Skin Health: The formula contains Vitamin A (from Palmitate and Betatene ®) which reduces sebum production and the buildup of keratin in the follicle. The formulation also contains zinc, selenium, and chromium. Each of these nutrients has a very important role in skin health.

MSM for Antibacterial and Repair: The formula contains MSM a natural form of organic sulfur, which is a natural antiseptic and necessary for collagen synthesis. By keeping skin cells soft, MSM also allows skin to detoxify. MSM enhances tissue pliability and encourages the repair of damaged skin.

Nutrients to Support Inflammatory Control: Bromelain, an enzyme extracted from pineapple, and selenium both have anti-inflammatory properties.

Herbs to Cleanse & Detoxify: Burdock, dandelion, Oregon grape and yellow dock are powerful herbs known for their potent cleansing properties of the skin and blood.
