FUNCTIONS
The skin is one of the largest organs of the body and plays crucial roles as a main defense against pathogens and harmful substances. The skin also helps to regulate body temperature and allows for the sensation of touch, among its many roles. The cumulative effects of age, sun exposure and improper eating habits can take their toll on the healthy maintenance of skin structure, appearance and elasticity. Skinticity has been specially formulated to support normal skin structure and appearance, as part of a healthy skin regimen that includes proper protection against the sun and a balanced diet.
The omega-3 fatty acid EPA is the direct precursor for the prostaglandins E1 and E3, which help to support normal processes in the body. DHA is of primary importance for the structural integrity of neuronal membranes. Numerous studies indicate that a healthy intake of omega-3 fatty acids play crucial roles in skin health and appearance as well as normal wound healing.
Lutein is a nutritionally important carotenoid that occurs in selected, often brightly colored vegetables, such as corn, spinach and kale.
Like many other carotenoids, lutein is an important antioxidant nutrient that protects healthy cells from oxidative and free radical damage. Free radicals are unstable chemicals formed in the body during metabolism and from exposure to environmental sources, such as pollution and cigarette smoke. Free radicals are not inherently bad (they are necessary for energy metabolism and immune function), but when there is an excessive production of free radicals in the body, they can attack healthy cells, especially their membrane lipids and proteins.
Lutein is an efficient quencher of free radicals in the body, and research has shown that this important carotenoid can provide benefits that go beyond maintaining healthy eye function. Research has shown that supplementation with lutein can help to support skin elasticity, and hydration and may also help to protect the skin from free-radical-related damage.
Olives are an ancient and traditional food of those living in the Mediterranean region, with some trees purported to live over 1,000 years old. Olive oil is well regarded for its taste and superior cooking characteristics as well as its roles in supporting healthy skin. Olives contain a major class of polyphenols that can act as potent antioxidants, defending the body against potentially damaging free radicals.
Recent science has been focusing on the many supportive roles that pomegranates can play in the body. These brightly colored fruits contain numerous compounds known for their antioxidant capabilities, including anthocyanidins, catechins, tannis, and gallic and ellagic acids. Punicic acid, a component of pomegranate seed oil, has been studied for its many roles in skin and immune health, as well as optimal lipid and glucose metabolism. Rich in monounsaturated fats, avocados are prized for their creamy texture and slightly sweet taste. A diet that is high in monounsaturated fats and low in saturated fats may support healthy cardiovascular and skin function.
