Anti envelhecimento suplementos - rugas de luta de dentro

The choice of antioxidants to supplement your regular skin routine is an approach that has been scientifically validated. A study by French scientists found that women taking vitamin C, vitamin e and beta carotene had 23% fewer new wrinkles and a reduction of existing wrinkles of 8%. Antioxidants stop the degradation of collagen and elastin by radicals.

Foods with high levels of antioxidants, as measured by ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity), listed from highest: plums, raisins, blueberries, kale, cranberries, raspberries, spinach, brussel sprouts, broccoli and plums.

Vitamin A is another important nutrient to skin. A deficiency in vitamin a will reduce the effectiveness of the treatments of the skin. Vitamin A is necessary for normal growth and renewal of skin cells. Our skin cells are constantly overwriting each other, and the new ones are pushed up to the surface as the old ones slough off. It's not just an antioxidant vitamin a, but it also nourishes the fat layer under the skin. Vitamin a keeps the skin supple and can prevent skin damage.

Symptoms of vitamin a deficiency include dry skin and rough trails located, fragile skin, skin wrinkle prone, poor skin texture and splitting nails.

One thing to remember with taking vitamin a supplements is not to exceed the recommended daily dose, as it can accumulate in your body if taken in excess. Have 10000 IU per day is good.

Vitamin c is another important beauty supplement. Not only helps to repair skin by collagen building, but lower levels of vitamin c in skin are associated with aging and UV damage. Take 500 mg to 2000mg per day, in divided doses is recommended.

An excellent antioxidant supplement to take is the alpha lipóico acid (ALA), especially if you are taking other antioxidant vitamins c and e and Coenzyme Q10. Alpha lipoic acid is not only an antioxidant in its own right, but he has the ability to recycle these other antioxidants. The alpha acid lipóico is also an anti inflammatory agent and improves insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is associated with obesity and heart disease. ALA increases the rate at which glucose is removed from the bloodstream and helps the body detoxify metals that have accumulated. Alpha lipoic acid also denies the cross-linking of fibers, which leads to aging and the development of wrinkles.

Alpha lipoic acid is produced by the body, but only in small amounts. It is used by the cells in its production of cellular energy, and we only benefit from antioxidant effects if the amount of ALA in our bodies is greater than what our cells need for normal operation. And, unfortunately, the ALA levels in our body decline as we age.

One advantage of alpha lipoic acid is that is fat and water soluble. This means that it can work in all parts of our body, making it very versatile. Most antioxidants are fat or water soluble, but not both. For example, vitamin a is fat soluble, and vitamin c is water soluble.

With around 50 to 100 mg of lipoic acid supplements that alpha was suggested a day, although this add-in has not been tested on pregnant or breast-feeding women.
