Primarily, we can attain all the nutrients and vitamins through our diet but achieving the optimal levels only through our diet daily is not that realistic.
Here is a list of supplement recommendations that will help you attain healthy, glowing skin. It is advisable to consult your doctor before you start taking these supplements.
1. Vitamin E supplement (400 IU daily)
It is a fat-soluble vitamin that is an antioxidant that stops the production of free radicals when fat undergoes oxidation. Apart from working like an antioxidant, this vitamin also helps in regulation of gene expression, cell signaling, immune function, and possibly other metabolic processes. Vitamin E is complicated to consume through diet because it’s not commonly found in many foods.
2. Vitamin C supplement (1k mg daily)
The vitamin is found in citrus fruits and does more than boost immunity. It promotes fibroblast proliferation and acts as an assistant in an enzymatic activity that relates directly to skin health and function. It also controls some DNA repairs in the skin to prevent cancerous growth. Its association with cells that regulate skin pigmentation is a beneficial ingredient in products that address skin discoloration. Since this vitamin easily gets lost in our urine, it’s ideal to consume vitamin-C-rich foods throughout the day through fresh fruits and vegetables while also taking a supplement. Foods rich in vitamin C include red peppers, kale, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, tomatoes, and oranges.
3. Vitamin D supplement
Produced in the skin, Vitamin D is made with the exposure to UV radiation from the sun. Vitamin D participates in various biological actions to promote health, including strengthening bones and increasing calcium levels.
4. Probiotics supplement
You can get probiotics from fermented foods and beverages like kombucha. If you do not get the probiotics in daily diet, there is no problem in attaining it via supplements. Probiotics are helpful in the development of the immune system, often shifting the immune response toward regulatory and anti-inflammatory conditions. This means that probiotics can treat chronic inflammatory conditions, ranging from inflammatory bowel disease to acne, rosacea, eczema, and premature aging resulting from the ravages of UV radiation.
