How to Support and Protect Skin Naturally From the Inside Out

Maintaining a smooth and youthful appearance consistently lands at the top of the beauty list for nearly everyone. From applying creams and serums before bedtime to more extreme versions involving lasers and needles, people will go to lengths to keep the inevitable wrinkles at bay.

Although some of these motivations seem superficial, preventing early signs of aging is a necessary precaution that can help shield your skin from unnecessary damage.

But what if there was a way to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines from the inside out? What if you could give your skin the nourishment it needs to stay healthy and hydrated without any harsh chemicals or intrusive treatments? Turns out, there is! 

Check out these six ways to soothe and protect your skin naturally:

Collagen

This protein is found in our skin, hair, and nails and is responsible for maintaining their strength and elasticity. As we age, our bodies produce less collagen, resulting in drier, thinner skin that is more susceptible to wrinkles. Supplementing with collagen can help improve the appearance of your skin by reducing fine lines and dryness.* 

In an interview conducted with Cedars Sinai Dr. Aivaz says, “Starting in our mid-20s, we slowly begin to lose collagen. For women, we can lose up to 30% of our collagen production in the first 5 years of menopause.”*†

Sea Buckthorn

This orange berry is rich in vitamins and antioxidants that offer your body many nutritional benefits, one of which can help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals. Sea buckthorn can help improve the appearance of the skin by helping balance inflammatory factors. It has also been shown to help improve the appearance of skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis.*†

Vitamin D: Often called the “sunshine vitamin,” vitamin D is essential for healthy bones and teeth. It also plays a role in skin health by helping to regulate cell growth. Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium, which is necessary for maintaining healthy skin cells. A lack of vitamin D can lead to dry, inflamed skin.*†

MSM

Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is a sulfur-containing compound that is found in plants, animals, and humans – and is important for the production of collagen and keratin, two proteins that are essential for healthy skin. It is often used as a dietary supplement for its anti-inflammatory properties.*†

MSM has been shown to help improve the appearance of skin by reducing redness, and also help improve the appearance of acne scars and stretch marks.*†

Amla

Amla is an Indian fruit that is rich in vitamin C – a nutrient that is essential for collagen production.*†

Vitamin C helps protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals and also promotes cell regeneration. Amla has been shown to help improve the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.*† 

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is a natural, plant-based oil that has been shown to have numerous health benefits. It is rich in fatty acids that help keep skin soft and hydrated.*†

Coconut oil also has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce the appearance of redness and swelling. Coconut oil has been shown to improve the appearance of psoriasis, eczema, and other skin conditions. It is also a natural moisturizer that can help keep skin hydrated and prevent dryness.*†

Spending More Time Indoors? If So, You Might Be Lacking An Essential Immunity Builder.

Vitamin deficiencies are commonly known throughout America and across the globe. Factors like age, gender, diet, genetics, and medications can all influence the nutrients our bodies can absorb, however, there’s a new developing factor creating a larger deficiency in one key nutrient among the youth.*†
 

Vitamin D is an essential nutrient that helps maintain and support regular bodily functions like building strong bones, immune health, and body weight. It’s also one of the few vitamins we can produce on our own without supplementation. A recent study revealed that vitamin D deficiency is becoming more common in people younger than age 65. The reason? Many experts hypothesize this growing lack of Vitamin D had a lot to do with the increased time spent indoors on devices like computers, phones, and gaming consoles.*

Improve Overall Health With Vitamin D

Common symptoms of a vitamin D deficiency include bone loss and infection. However, research tells us that low blood levels of vitamin D have also been linked with an increased risk of all-cause mortality (death).

Other symptoms may include:

  • Frequent illness (Tip: Vitamin D helps support immune health!)*†
  • Tiredness and Fatigue (Tip: Increased amounts of vitamin D have been shown to reduce fatigue)*†
  • Bone Pain (Tip: The body cannot absorb calcium without vitamin D)*†

Spending some extra time soaking up the sun not only feels great on your skin but also allows the sunlight to penetrate the skin and converts cutaneous 7-dehydrocholesterol to pre-vitamin D3, which in turn becomes vitamin D3. This is one of the best ways to feed your body its daily dose of this essential nutrient. Try to set aside 10-20 minutes a day for a quick “sunbath” and recharge your vitamin D levels.*†

Types of Vitamin D

There are two primary forms of vitamin D which are vitamin D2 and vitamin D3. You can find vitamin D2 in foods like mushrooms and soy milk. Vitamin D3 is much more common and found in foods like salmon, egg yolks, and cow’s milk. It’s also the same type of vitamin D created by your body when exposed to sunlight.
 
Studies have been conducted to determine which type of vitamin D is better for overall health, D2 or D3, revealing that D3 supplementation increased vitamin D levels in the body better than vitamin D2.
 
Our in-house formulator, Dr. Mark Stengler, NMD also recommends vitamin D3 as the preferred method of supplementation paired with K2 since this also helps support bone health.

Vitamin D3 helps with the absorption of calcium and phosphorus. Sufficient amounts of vitamin D are important for supporting bones and teeth, as well as overall health and wellness.*

4 Simple Ways To Support A Healthy Immune Response

boost immunity

It’s that time of year again! Fall leaves, pumpkin spice, and gathering with friends around the warm glow of a crackling fire…

If you crave this time of year as much as I do, then you might already be stocking up on the must-have seasonal essentials…

But there’s one more must-have for this time of year that many people often overlook — and it’s one you can’t go without……

It’s a top-notch immune response of course!

See, most of us are born with an immune response capable of warding off many unwanted invaders. This system is designed to protect the body from germs in order to keep itself healthy.

However, due to our sedentary lifestyles and poor eating habits, and the pandemic, many are in need of an immune reboot.

It’s even more necessary with the cold weather that has already begun to creep its way across the country.

Not to worry though. We’ve got some tips that may help improve the body’s immune response, setting you up for a more enjoyable and relaxing experience during the cold months.

1. Quercetin

Derived from natural sources like citrus, sage, thyme, apples, and blueberries; quercetin is a naturally occurring flavonoid that provides free radical support.

It also helps balance the fiery storms of unbalanced inflammatory factors. We can easily re-ignite many of our natural immune responses to support a more revitalized and overall sense of well-being.

Our highly effective unique formulation uses Sophora Japonica leaf extract, which helps increase absorption up to 20X. (1)

  • Support optimal physical performance and quick recovery
  • Offers benefits that support respiratory health
  • Offers support to those who are prone to seasonal and year-round allergies. (up to 50% reduction of day intermittent discomforts frequency, and up to 70% reduction of night intermittent discomforts frequency) (1)

2. Increase Vitamin D Intake

During the colder months, people tend to stay indoors more often which reduces the amount of time they are exposed to sunlight.

This drop in Vitamin D, which is crucial to immune defense activation, has been linked to a weakened immune response. The great thing about Vitamin D is that it provides many benefits to the body, including:

  • Supporting strong bones and teeth
  • Supporting the immune response
  • Helps in regulating normal blood sugar levels
  • Supports lung and vascular functions

3. Trametes Versicolor (aka Turkey Tail Mushroom)

While this nutrient is quite a mouthful to pronounce but this fungus has been used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine to promote health and wellness. Known for its striking colors (hence the name “turkey tail”) it’s been used for centuries to help treat various conditions.

They contain something called Polysaccaropeptides (PSP) which poses powerful immunity enhancing properties by helping to activate and inhibite specific cells associated with stronger immune responses.

Our Deep Immune contains 1000mg of this impressive super-nutrient, in addition to 3 other powerful promoters of immune health.

4. Zinc

Zinc is one of the most common trace elements found in the body and supports over 300 enzymes that aid in metabolism, digestion, nerve function, and many other processes, including healthy immune support.

It does this by stimulating certain immune cells and reducing oxidative stress. Common signs of low Zinc levels are hair loss, growth delay, a weakened immune response, and loss of appetite. (3)
