Anti Aging Supplements: The Newest Craze
Anti aging supplements are the newest craze in the war against wrinkles, lines, puffy eyes, and damage. Fighting signs of aging from the "inside out" is supposed to provide a way for people to get an edge on signs of aging skin. Keeping your body healthy inside is thought to be reflected on the outside.
Although many companies are coming up with different skin care supplements, little outside research is available that supports the wide claims these companies make. Most doctors agree that adding a multi-vitamin or other mineral, vitamin, and antioxidant supplement is good for overall health. However, they are torn on whether these supplements can significantly improve your looks.
Aging is a natural biological process. While making sure your body has essential nutrients, you should also avoid certain environmental hazards to keep your skin looking its best. Sun exposure, smoking, air pollution, drug use, and toxins can damage your skin. Staying away from these aging factors can help keep your skin in good condition. Keeping your body in its best shape will only help any supplement work more effectively.
Ingredients in Supplements
Anti again supplements boost a wide range of ingredients. Some of these “special” ingredients include:
- Vitamins C, B, D, E
- Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids
- Zinc
- Alpha lipoic acid (ALA)
- Green tea extract
Each anti aging supplement has a mixture of these ingredients and more. Doctors caution against using supplements with too many herbal additives (like ginkgo) because they have not been tested thoroughly. Hormone-based supplements should only be used under a doctor’s supervision.
Anti Aging Products
With such a wide range of products available, it is hard to know where to start when searching for anti aging supplements. N.V. Perricone, M.D. Cosemeceuticals, Murad, Borba, and Oily of Olay are all respected companies that have come out with supplements to improve your body and facial skin.
