Nutritional Supplements for Anti Aging
March 24, 2009 by Lindelwa Laz
Reducing the visible signs of aging is the goal of many beauty companies and this is why the use of anti-aging skin care products continues to rise each year. As the skin is so important a great deal of effort goes into the preparation of products including those that increase the production of collagen which is the primary protein in skin. This area of anti-aging treatment is connected to another area involved in looking young; that of anti-oxidants.
One of the best known anti-oxidants is vitamin C and despite continual research, no-one body involved can decide just exactly how much our body should consume on a daily basis. Unfortunately all skin care treatments that use vitamin C have the problem of atmospheric oxidization to contend with once the product is exposed to the air.
To overcome this problem, manufacturers use alternative skin care treatments that still provide the same benefits but not the high manufacturing costs. These new anti-oxidant products are not quite as good as vitamin C although other naturally occurring compounds, vitamin E and lipoic acid can achieve the same effect.
Vitamin E is an anti-oxidant and component of human blood whose purpose is to help increase the body's immune system against diseases including cancer. It is known to combat the signs of aging very effectively by reversing skin damage caused by the ageing process.
Another group of products used to reduce the visible signs of aging are phytochemicals which are compounds extracted from various plants and used in many anti-aging skin care products. Phytochemicals prevent occurrence of certain types of cancer.
Surprisingly, the group of vitamins; B5, B6, and B12 have also shown that they can be used to help reduce the effects of aging. This just goes to highlight just how complex and far reaching the whole field of anti-aging skin care products is and why so much more research is required.
While a great deal has been learned about this subject, it is only the tip of the iceberg and more long term effective methods need to be discovered to reverse or slow down the effects of time. There may be many challenges still to overcome but in time scientists believe they will succeed in producing more effective anti-aging skin care products that are less expensive and available to more people.
However, man-made skin care regimes should be used only as a supplement. Simple things that can make a difference in slowing the signs of aging.
