ALPHA LIPOIC ACID ALA is a natural molecule that exists inside every cell in the human body. It plays a roll in the energy producing part of the cell, the mitochondria. Since more energy is available to each cell it increases the metabolism of the cells where nutrients are taken up more efficiently and toxins are released. This creates a healthy glowing skin and oedema or water retention is relieved. Under eye bags will also be addressed. ALA is both water and fat soluble meaning it can protect the lipid (fat) membrane as well as the inside of the cell which is water based. Most free radical damage takes place at the membrane of the cell, destroying them which in turn causes aging. ALA prevents this destruction. ALA increase the effectiveness of other anti-oxidants like Vitamin C and Vitamin E. ALA acts as anti-inflammatory erasing aging symptoms like fine lines and wrinkles. It literally stops the free radicals in their tracks. There is no other inflammatory or anti-oxidant as powerful as ALA. ALA eliminates scar tissue caused by acne by preventing inflammation. ALA activates an enzyme that will only destroy damaged collagen, erasing existing wrinkles as the damaged collagen strands pull down on the skin causing wrinkles. INDICATIONS FOR ALA * Lines, wrinkles, sagginess (premature skin) * Under eye bags, puffiness * Enlarged pores * Inflammation (sensitive, pigmentation skin) * Increased metabolism / energy VITAMIN C-ESTER How will Vitamin C-Ester affect my skin. Vitamin C-Ester helps in the formation of collagen. Collagen literally holds the skin together to give a youthful 'elastic appearance'. Without collagen the skin will fall apart resulting in sagging or an aged appearance. Any inflammatory condition in the form of sunburn, acne or any other form of free radical damage can effectively be reduced by Vitamin C-Ester. Lipid (fat) solubility makes Vitamin C-Ester most extra ordinary in the fight against aging, Without Vitamin C-Ester your levels of L-Carnitine will also drop. This will result in fat being stored and not being used as energy, something we definitely want to avoid in the ongoing fight against cellulite and weight control. What is the difference between Vitamin C and Vitamin C-Ester? Vitamin C in its natural form is a water soluble vitamin which can be flushed out of the body. Vitamin C- Ester is a fat soluble and has 40 times longer staying power. In this form it can protect our cell membranes that are also Lipid (fat) based. INDICATIONS FOR VITAMIN C-ESTER * Fine lines, wrinkles, sagginess (premature aging) * Acne, scarring, inflammation (problematic skin) * Sunburn, irritation, inflammation (sensitive skin) TOTAL COLLAGEN As we get older our bodies produce less collagen and this leads to what we see in the mirror. THE SIGNS OF AGING. What we need to do to reclaim out glory days is to boost out natural collagen production. Collagen is the filling in our skin and without collagen your skin will literally fall apart. Collagen is a protein and the building blocks of protein is amino acids. TOTAL COLLAGEN will boost your collagen production with 17 different amino acids and all types of collagen will be produced. There are 13 types of collagen. Type 1 to 5 is specific to our skin. Seventy percent of dermal tissue or our true skin is made up by collagen. Type1 collagen makes up 90% of the total collagen in our body. It is a dense connective tissue found in the papillary and reticular layer if our dermis. Tendons, ligaments and bones contain Type 1 collagen as well. At the dermal-epidermal junction type 4 as well as type 7 collagen anchor the epidermis to the dermis. Type 3 collagen is especially involved in wound healing and mostly found in the reticular layer. Just after injury for e.g.chemical peel, micro needling, laser treatment etc. Type 3 collagen will be formed over a 4 day period. Type 3 is an immature collagen and laid down in a haphazard fashion. An enzyme, collaganise will reorganise this tissue to become more parallel and smooth and change it to a Type1 collagen.This process can take 3 months. It makes sense with any type of treatment you consider in your clinic and salon, that a booster treatment with TOTAL COLLAGEN will ensure the best results. Should you not consider any treatments TOTAL COLLAGEN will ensure your skin and body maintain and enhance optimum levels of collagen. All the amino acids combined in TOTAL COLLAGEN will also strengthen the elastin fibres in your skin. Elastin is responsible to keep skin taught and prevent sagginess. Amino acids are vital for our skin health and other components must also be considered. Vitamin C with Iron and Zinc will help with collagen production. Essential fatty acids like Omega 3, Magnesium and Calcium are important supplements to consider for skin health. OMEGA–3 “Cold water fish oil” is a natural cure to improve multiple health conditions and protect the human body against disease. OMEGA–3 fatty acids are considered essential fatty acids, which means that they are essential to human health but cannot be manufactured by the body. Also known as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) OMEGA-3 and OMEGA-6 fatty acids play a crucial role in brain function as well as normal growth and development. OMEGA-3 contains two fatty acids: DHA and EPA. These friendly fatty acids are pivotal in improving and maintaining good health. Extensive research indicates that OMEGA-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation and help prevent certain chronic diseases such as heart disease and arthritis. These essential fatty acids are highly concentrated in the brain and appear to be particularly important and behavioural function. It is important to maintain an appropriate balance of OMEGA-3 and OMEGA-6 in the diet as these substances work together to promote health.
