Inside health leads to outside health

The conditions of your skin, hair and nails are outward signs of inner health. So, although NutriShield Essentials is mostly focused on supporting long-term health, the supplement can help in these areas, too.

That’s because your skin encounters external challenges like ultraviolet radiation and pollution, as well as internal challenges, like stress and lack of sleep. These create both free radical damage and inflammation.

Very many of the nutrients in NutriShield Essentials are powerful anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatories. So, they help reduce oxidative and inflammatory stress on skin cells by accumulating in the inner layers of the skin. This enhances the skin’s natural defence mechanisms, and thus helps prevent wrinkles.

These nutrients include

• Vitamin A
• Vitamin C
• Vitamin E
• Vitamin B3 as Nicotinamide
• Omega 3
• Biotin
• Selenium
• Zinc

Selenium helps protect against sun damage. Sun exposure is a key factor in what is called ‘photo-ageing’ – where UVB rays penetrate through the epidermal (outermost) layer of the skin, resulting in DNA mutations.

Plant nutrients also appear to activate genes (such as mmp-1) that are directly involved in the maintenance of healthy collagen. They include green tea extract and grapeseed extract.
