Skin Care - VitaMedica - Clinical Support for Youthful Complexion

As we age, certain changes happen to our bodies whether we like it or not. These changes are particularly evident in the skin and are largely due to the effects of the sun. In particular, two of the key building blocks of the skin, proteins called collagen and elastin, can be damaged. The result is skin with a thin, sagging appearance.

The damage caused by the sun's rays, along with environmental pollution, diet, and normal biologic processes contribute to the development of free-radicals. Free-radical damage contributes to aging such as wrinkling, age spots, and discoloration of the skin. Although our bodies have wonderful innate mechanisms for repair and healing, our bodies become less efficient with this process as we age. However, certain nutrients taken internally can help replenish and renew what the years may have taken away.

Clinical Support for Youthful Complexion is a nutritional supplement that helps support younger-looking skin in three ways:

Nutrients to Support the Development of Collagen & Elastin. The formulation includes Vitamin A (Palmitate and Betatene®) and Vitamin C, two powerhouse antioxidants. The formula also contains shavegrass, a natural form of silica and cysteine , a sulfur-containing amino acid.

Potent, Antioxidant Blend for Better Protection Against Free-Radical Protection. The formulation includes Vitamin E, PABA, zinc and ginkgo biloba . The supplement also includes grape seed extract and green tea , whose antioxidant activity is 20-200x more powerful than vitamin E or vitamin C. Green tea extract is also believed to provide a protective role in skin cancer.

Green Super Foods for Detoxification and Super Nutrition. The formulation includes spirulina and chlorella, natural detoxifiers that provide essential nutrients for the skin.
