Feed the skin from within..
Advanced Nutrition Programme is a premium range of beauty supplements which support healthy skin and help enhance overall wellbeing. They maintain skin health, while targeting skin concerns. Skincare in a capsule!
Vitamin supplements work better than topical creams as they feed every cell in the entire body! Even the deeper layers of the skin, where your creams cannot get. Supplements are not a substitute for a healthy diet, but food may not be as nutritious as you think.
Another way to look at it is, your multivitamin is the equivalent of your cleanser, and your specific supplement is your moisturiser.
There is a large range, from multivitamins, skin specifics, wellbeing and probiotics. Please contact me for more info. Below are some videos for you to look at and I have added some of my favourites! Although I do change my supplements, depending on my skin needs, there are alot that I wouldn't go without.
Skin Omegas -
- Increases hydration
- Enhances natural barrier function
- Anti-inflammatory
- Improves skin immunity
- Like swallowing a moisturiser!
Absorption of nutrients (supplements) can be hindered by -
- Lack of sleep
- Antibiotics
- Coffee / Tea (keep your hot drinks to 30mins after you have taken your supplements)
- Poor diet (good digestion = good absorption)
- Stress
- Pollution
- Alcohol
Nutrients compete with one another for absorption in the body. The key is finding which ones are friends and then they will work in synergy together. The right nutrients, in the right doses, with their compatable friend, will produce results. Your body will absorb what it needs and simply excrete the rest. For example - Vitamin B6 will not work until it is converted into pyridoxl-5-phosphate, a job done by zinc and magnesium! But we don't really need to worry about that, as the research and development is already done for us!
From research to results, Advanced Nutrition Programme supplements are all made in the UK, they are triple tested (which is not industry standard, it is their standards to do extra), all ingredients are based on evidence based research. Formulas are based on science, not trends. Packaging is all recycled material and they use vegetable ink, just incase it was to end up in the sea.
Nutrients in our food can be lost through -
- Growing conditions. Fertile soils - mineralised with plenty of biological activity result in good, healthy nutritious foods. But when crops receive, on average, 3 doses of weed killer, 3 fungicides, a growth regulator and insecticide, these chemicals kill the microbes and minerals fail to be broken down. The plant cannot take minerals through its roots, this means the mineral levels fall in our foods.)
- Storage. Before reaching our shop shelves, our fruit and veg may have traveled thousands of miles, resulting in the reduction of vital nutrients. After picking fruit and veg, they can be allowed to "breath", the longer this goes on, the less likely they will retain nutrients.
- Cooking. The 3 main robbers of vitamins and minerals - heat, water, oxidisation.
- Refining. This is done to increase shelf life. Removing most of the nutrients from the grain, reduces the risk of infestation. But to be classified as a food it needs to contain a certain amount of nutrients, this is why they are added back then called "fortified". In the case of wheat, as many as 25 nutrients are removed, with about 4 being put back.
