Skin health, fighting wrinkles from the inside out

If there is one subject that women know well, it is the one concerning skin health and the appearance of wrinkles with age. Since women are often more concerned about their appearance and the possible harmful effects of aging, cosmetics are more often aimed at women than men. However, times are changing and men are becoming just as concerned about their skin and the visible damage that could be caused by time. If to cleanse, purify and detoxify the skin is important, no one can escape, for the moment, the aging of skin tissues.

Naturally, the aging of skin tissue is a topic that interests YAM Nutrition and we already offer you two nutraceuticals or nutracosmetics in our range of dietary supplements. Indeed, we believe that skin health is a topic that deserves attention, at least from a nutritional perspective. Obviously, the aging of organic tissues affects everyone; it's a subject that deserves our full attention. We have therefore focused our efforts on two major areas of research: wrinkles and cellulite. But what are the nutrients that play a role in maintaining skin suppleness?

Skin health depends on nutrients like collagen, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid

Naturally, the skin is the organ that covers the largest surface area of ​​the body. It is also our first barrier against infections, sunburn, pollution, and the cold. Keeping our skin healthy is therefore essential for everyone. When we are young, skin health is of little importance to us, but after the age of 40 or 45, women—and sometimes men too—begin to worry about it a little more. The aesthetic issue of wrinkles is certainly a concern for both men and women as they age. To try to counteract the effects of aging, an infinite number of anti-wrinkle, firming, toning, and densifying creams have been on the cosmetic market for decades. However, cosmetic creams quickly reach their limits because they nourish the surface of the dermis but do not provide any nutrients to the body.

Cosmetic creams nourish the skin from the outside but do not nourish the body from the inside.

While these cosmetic creams of all kinds have the advantage of nourishing the skin on the surface, at the level of the epidermis and dermis, they do not nourish the body. Indeed, the hydration and nutrient intake of cosmetic creams against wrinkles remains quite limited since they do not provide the body with the micronutrients it needs to synthesize collagen, elastin and other essential elements for the health of the skin. In this case, there can be only one solution, that of nourishing the skin from the inside. Daily diet already largely meets these needs, but providing nutrients specifically chosen for this purpose with food supplements well-formulated products can contribute to skin health.

Nutraceuticals and nutracosmetics are dietary supplements that fight wrinkles from the inside out...

In recent years, a new type of dietary supplement has been introduced onto the market. These are nutraceuticals, i.e. nutritional supplements formulated to target a specific problem: skin health, joints, well-being, mental balance, etc. In this case, we also talk about nutracosmetics when we are talking about dietary supplements whose formulation aims for a cosmetic objective, but by nourishing the body from the inside out. Thus, these dietary supplements are formulated from specific nutrients, such as, for example, collagen , hyaluronic acid, selected vitamins or minerals as well as specifically chosen antioxidants.

Indeed, if the hydration and nutritional aspect of cosmetic creams is quite limited, nutraceuticals offer a specific diet so that the body has the essential nutrients to maintain the health of the skin. It is therefore a question of acting upstream of the problem by providing nutrients useful to the body on the synthesis of endogenous collagen and the processes linked to it. This is particularly the case of vitamin C which is essential for the fixation of amino acids constituting the fibers of Collagen . Cellular aging always begins on your plate. However, your diet rarely provides specific micronutrients or proteins like collagen, quercetin, or CoQ10. In this case, nutracosmetics can provide them in a simple and convenient way. With this in mind, YAM Nutrition has worked on the manufacture of new nutritional supplements with a nutraceutical purpose.

Skin Nutritive and Lipolys, the first two nutraceuticals from YAM Nutrition against wrinkles and cellulite

With YAM Nutrition, we've been thinking about developing nutraceuticals for skin health. Skin Nutritive and Lipolys were formulated for this purpose. Skin Nutritive is based on a precise combination of Viscofan's Coll-Instant collagen with hyaluronic acid in the form of sodium hyaluronate, grape seed extract for its oxidative potential and proven effects on skin protection, Coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone), and vitamin C in the form of calcium ascorbate. By providing your body with essential nutrients, you'll be able to more easily fight wrinkles on a basic nutritional level.

After Skin Nutritive, Lipolys was developed to target the cellulite , a problem that is generally female and particularly catastrophic from an aesthetic point of view. Here too, Lipolys is based on a formulation that has its source in scientific research. Our nutraceutical provides you with hesperidin chalcone, an antioxidant that has demonstrated its benefits for this skin problem. Combined with quercetin, a grape seed extract for its content of OPC , Lipolys also contains Co Q10, Chasteberry ( Vitex agnus castus ) and citrulline malate. Quercetin is an antioxidant known for its potential “anti-aging” effects, particularly related to collagen synthesis. Citrulline recycles arginine, a precursor of nitric oxide. This is a molecule linked to blood vessel health.

Today, the world of nutraceuticals and nutracosmetics is gradually expanding, alongside more traditional dietary supplements. However, the highly targeted nature of these food products will certainly facilitate their development in the coming years. To combat wrinkles or cellulite, nourishing the body from the inside out could help reduce these aesthetic skin disorders.
