Essential Supplements for a More Beautiful You....

Hi there,

As we are dutifully following our daily and weekly skin care regimen to maintain our skin condition well, are we aware that it is just as important to manage the wear & tear, inside out, as the biological clock ticks....

For example,collagen. It is a specific type of protein that is responsible for the maintenance of our connective tissues which includes ligaments, tendons and cartilage. Collagen is also found in the cells of our bones, teeth, blood vessels and our largest organ - the skin. It is one of the key protein, about a quarter of our body content.
It has a fibrous structure that is strong and elastic, hence keeping our skin, the other parts of the body springy and healthy.

Unfortunately, as we age, our collagen wears away over time. As for our skin, you will see sign of wrinkles.. sagginess in our skin. We may lose as much as 30% by the age we reach 40.

Other than just how we look, our mobility will also be compromised - loss of muscle mass and weakened bones.
Hence if we were to consume the suitable collagen supplements, this will help in managing the aging process. It helps in the reduction of wrinkles, improved the mobility of our stiff joints as we age and enjoy a better maintenance of our body muscles. It also helps in giving us healthier nails and hair. Overall does help in our self-esteem and on how we look and feel.

Another essential component in our body is Squalene. It belongs to a class of anti-oxidants called Isoprenoids. Are you aware that we are born with Squalene in our body, as this can be seen in the suppleness of baby skin. Again, unfortunately, over the years, the level of Squalene will start to dip. This dip starts even earlier than that of collagen... it dips as early as age of 25 onwards.

Hence to address this dip, it is important that we can replenish with suitable Squalene intake.
What about Squalene? As said, it is an Isoprenoid which is a cell-friendly molecule that helps to neutralise the harmful free radicals as found in our body.

If you were to google on the Importance of Squalene, you will get to pick up knowledge like boosting our immunity, promotes blood circulation, healthy skin..

Well, perhaps you may wish to access and do a stock-take of your current situation.

Stay healthy.. and age beautifully.

Cheers.
