Protecting the Skin from the Inside-Out

• Natural Ceramides
  Natural Ceramides - within the outer (epidermal) layer of the skin there is a brick-and mortar band called the stratum corneum. The integrity of the stratum corneum, and in particular its fatty mortar or cement, is essential to the state of skin hydration. Making up almost half of the mortar material are fatty substances called ceramides. Ceramide levels decline through the aging process, are lower in the winter months, are very low in cases of dermatitis and are destroyed by ultraviolet light exposure.
  Recently natural ceramides have been isolated from whole grain sources (e.g. brown rice and wheat). When orally consumed in supplement form, these natural ceramides have been shown to significantly improve the state of skin hydration in humans. In particular, the ceramides levels are very low in dermatitis – most notably eczema and psoriasis. A recent Japanese study showed that oral plant-derived ceramides can increase skin hydration by up to 250% after 3 weeks.
  Natural ceramides, in combination with other natural components of the epidermal cement (squalane, phosphatidylserine, borage triglycerides) are now available in the first oral supplement of its kind... dermalipid

• Healthy Skin Chocolate Soft Chews - Recent studies have shown that cocoa is a powerful internal ally to the skin. In human studies, ingestion of 329mg of cocoa antioxidants was shown to significantly improve blood flow to the skin, improve hydration, increase dermal thickness (this is a good thing, the dermis normally thins out with age), and decrease roughness and scaling of the skin. In addition, 329mg of cocoa antioxidants provides an internal protection against UV damage according to human research. NOTE - 3 chews contain the research-based level of 329mg cocoa antioxidants, with only 90 calories, 3.5 grams of fat and 7 grams of sugar. Why not just eat dark chocolate? It can take over 100 grams of high quality (86% cocoa) dark chocolate to get to the research level of 329mg cocoa polyphenols...translating into 500 calories, 50 grams of fat and a similar sugar content.

In addition, 3 healthy skin chocolate soft chews contain 500mg of marine fish collagen and 6mg of lycopene. Studies show that oral hydrolyzed (water broken) collagen can improve the condition of aging skin. Internal lycopene consumption can provide internal protection against UV damage. These added value ingredients are not found in dark chocolate.

Mood Support I – Omega-3

Exciting research studies have shown that omega-3 fatty acids are critical for the structure and function of the human brain. EPA, an important omega-3 fatty acid found in oily fish and seafood, has emerged as a mood-regulating chemical. Studies show that EPA is vital for communication within and between nerve cells. Human studies have shown that fish oil rich in EPA is helpful in mood regulation. Research studies have typically used doses between 1 and 2 grams (1000-2000mg) of EPA per day.
Genuine Health provides a unique EPA supplement that contains 500mg of pure EPA per capsule. Each capsule is enteric-coated to eliminate digestive issues, fishy repeat and aftertaste.

Mood Support II - Vitamins & Minerals

As beneficial as omega-3 fatty acids may be in human mood support, these oils cannot be viewed in nutritional isolation. Other nutrients stand out also, and some, like zinc, selenium and folic acid, are involved in the metabolism of omega-3 fatty acids. Research shows that certain vitamins and minerals may play unique roles when it comes to a healthy mental outlook.

Zinc – a number of studies have shown that zinc levels are low in patients with depressive disorders. Oral supplementation with zinc and antidepressant medications has been shown to be better than the antidepressant taken with a placebo.

Folic Acid – blood levels of folate have been shown to be consistently low in depressive disorders (about 25% lower on average). Low levels of folate predicts poor outcome with antidepressant treatments and a greater risk of relapse after recovery. Like zinc, folic acid has been shown to enhance the value of antidepressant medications vs. the medication with an added placebo.

Vitamin B12 – about 3 to 5% of those living in Western nations have low blood B12 levels. Compare this to the B12 deficiency in some 30+ percent of patients with mental health disorders. Like folic acid, low levels of vitamin B12 predict a poor outcome to antidepressant interventions. Experts recommend 1000 micrograms per day for maintenance in mood support.

Vitamin D – low levels of vitamin D during the winter months may be involved in seasonal affective disorder, or the so-called winter blues. Research has shown benefit of 400 to 800 international units of vitamin D when taken during the winter – improved attention, motivation, enthusiasm, and alertness in those supplemented.

Selenium & Chromium – at least five studies have shown that low selenium levels are associated with lowered mood states. Supplementation has been shown to improve symptoms of anxiety and depressive mood. Chromium is another micronutrient that has been linked to depression. Indeed, four studies have shown that chromium supplementation is helpful in mood support, particularly when carbohydrate cravings are part of the picture.

multi+ daily joy is a high quality multi-vitamin with added zinc, selenium, chromium, vitamin D, folic acid and vitamin B12 for a healthy mental outlook. EPA and other omega-3 fatty acids work along with these minerals.
