Beauty, Skin & Hair
A radiant appearance is often a reflection of good nutrition. Healthy, soft skin, shiny hair, strong nails, firm connective tissue and collagen formation depend not only on the use of cosmetics, but also on a balanced supply of nutrients. Important factors such as biotin and vitamin C contribute to the maintenance of healthy skin, hair and nails as well as collagen formation. Due to its moisture-binding function, hyaluronic acid is an important component of connective tissue, the skin and the eyes.
Collagen & Connective Tissue
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, comprising more than 30% of the total weight of all the body's proteins. Its presence varies across tissues, with different types of collagen found in each specific tissue. As a structural protein, it plays a vital role in conferring elasticity and strength to various tissues, including cartilage, tendons, ligaments, connective tissue, skeletal muscles, blood vessels, skin, bones and teeth. During collagen synthesis, amino acids are strung together to form a polypeptide chain, a process which is assisted by essential vitamins, minerals and trace elements.
Skin & Nails
Hair, skin and nails often receive special attention when it comes to beauty – caring for them should begin internally. A smooth, even complexion can be supported with nutrients such as vitamins B2, B3, A and C as well as iodine, zinc, biotin and copper. Zinc and selenium are needed for strong nail structures and, like vitamin E, contribute to cell protection.
Hair
Skin, hair and nails deserve special attention and care to take care of beauty from the inside. Zinc, biotin and selenium are important minerals for the hair, with copper being particularly responsible for hair pigmentation.
Healthy Ageing
Ageing processes are accelerated by oxidative stress from factors such as environmental pollution and an unhealthy lifestyle, the effects of which are often first visible on the skin. Special nutrients can contribute to the natural resilience of the body's cells and help one to age gracefully. Vitamin C contributes to collagen formation for the skin and to the protection from oxidative stress, while omega-3 fatty acids support the heart, vision and brain.
