| Multi-System Support for Supple Skin |
| Aging, sun exposure, stress, pollution-all can challenge the health of your skin. SKIN ETERNAL PLUS is a Bio-Aligned Formula™ that influences multiple body systems involved with skin and connective tissue. These include: antioxidant defense, connective tissue, cell membranes, cell renewal, blood and liver cleansing, muscle and nerve function, and stress response. Source Naturals also offers you SKIN ETERNAL tablets, serum and cream. The SKIN ETERNAL line features key nutrients and herbs, including vitamin C-ester or ascorbyl palmitate, DMAE and lipoic acid, to support healthy, supple skin. SKIN ETERNAL PLUS™ Supports Multiple Body Systems As we age, free radicals cause oxidation of our skin tissue. Old cells may be replaced more slowly. The degeneration of elastin fibers and decrease in collagen may cause our skin to lose strength and elasticity. SKIN ETERNAL PLUS can help. This Bio-Aligned Formula provides targeted nutrition to multiple body systems involved with healthy skin. Antioxidant Defense Oxidative stress caused by exposure to sunlight and toxins is considered one of the main causes of age-related skin damage. SKIN ETERNAL PLUS contains a range of antioxidants, including the cornerstone ingredient, C-ester (ascorbyl palmitate). This fat-soluble vitamin C may be more effective than water-soluble C in protecting lipids in cell membranes, according to in vitro research. Additional key antioxidants include lipoic acid (called the "universal antioxidant" because it is soluble in fat and water), coenzyme Q10, DMAE, vitamin E, tocotrienol and grape seed. Connective Tissue The dermis, or inner skin layer, is made up of connective tissue. Vitamin C, supplied as C-ester (ascorbyl palmitate) and ascorbic acid, is essential for formation of collagen, a major constituent of connective tissue that provides firmness and elasticity to skin. Proline and lysine are also needed for collagen synthesis. SKIN ETERNAL PLUS also supports connective tissue with MSM dietary sulfur, silica, and the connective tissue constituent, glucosamine. Cell Renewal The skin constantly renews itself as damaged cells are lost to wear and tear. It is important to supply this constantly active organ with nutrients for healthy renewal and repair. SKIN ETERNAL PLUS provides vitamin A, which is essential for epithelial (outer layer) skin growth. B-vitamins play an important role in many metabolic pathways. Zinc and chromium also support cell metabolism. Cell Membranes Healthy cell membranes are essential for optimal cell function, including signaling and communication, fluid and electrolyte balance, and waste and nutrient exchange. DMAE is the immediate precursor of choline in cell membrane synthesis and repair. SKIN ETERNAL PLUS also protects cell membranes with antioxidants (see above), the membrane component inositol, and biotin, which is necessary for fatty acid synthesis. Blood and Liver Cleansing The liver cleanses and detoxifies the body and is vital for healthy skin. Traditionally, herbs such as dandelion and bupleurum have been used to promote bile flow and promote liver health. N-acetyl cysteine and glutathione safeguard liver cells against oxidation. Lipotropics such as inositol and choline help remove excess fats from the liver. Muscle and Nerve Function Taut skin requires healthy muscle tone, which is controlled by nerve impulses. SKIN ETERNAL PLUS supplies DMAE, magnesium, calcium and vitamin E-all critical for muscle and nerve cell function. Stress Response Psychological and physiological stress directly impact skin health. SKIN ETERNAL PLUS addresses stress response with ingredients that support the adrenal glands-vitamins B-5, C and licorice. It also contains American ginseng, an adaptogenic herb that helps the body deal with stress. A Comprehensive Skin Care Line The SKIN ETERNAL line features vitamin C-ester (ascorbyl palmitate), DMAE, and lipoic acid. SKIN ETERNAL™ Tablets contain these ingredients plus vitamin E and grapeseed extract. The formula protects against free radical damage and provides cofactors for healthy skin tissue. SKIN ETERNAL™ Cream features the core ingredients plus aloe vera, MSM, panthenol, biotin, tocotrienol, coenzyme Q10, squalane, jojoba and rosemary oils, and a variety of herbal extracts. SKIN ETERNAL™ Serum contains nutrients and herbs unavailable in other topical preparations. In addition to the core ingredients, it supplies MSM, vitamins A, D-3 and E, CoQ10, biotin, aloe vera and chamomile. Lifestyle Tips for Healthy Skin: A Strategy for WellnessSM Eat a Healthy Diet Low-nutrient foods, such as sugar and refined carbohydrates, will not provide the vitamins and minerals your skin needs. Choose unprocessed foods, high in antioxidants such as beta carotene (carrots, apricots, and squash), vitamin C (oranges and peppers), vitamin E (cold-pressed oils, nuts and seeds), selenium (tuna, garlic, onions and broccoli) and zinc (whole grains, most seafood, and onions). Essential fatty acids, such as those in oily fish, flaxseed and olive oil, are important for skin repair. Eat high-fiber fruits, vegetables, whole grain bread and cereals, and brown rice. Drink herbal and green teas. Drink Water Our bodies are made up of 50-70 percent water, so it's important to drink at least 8 glasses daily. Water flushes out wastes, and acts as an internal moisturizer, keeping skin supple. |
