Healthy Skin Formula

 

DESCRIPTION
VitaMedica's Healthy Skin Formula is a nutritional supplement that provides internal skin care by enhancing the body's natural systems for repairing, cleansing and healing. The supplement is intended as an adjunctive therapy to the topical products and/or treatments that skin care professionals recommend for acne patients.

Many topical treatments for the care of acne and inflammatory disorders of the skin are currently available. While effective, these regimens contain products that produce an action primarily on the outer layer of the skin. Although the topical approach represents the foundation of good skin care, it also makes sense to address what is going on internally. That's because what you put inside your body may be just as important as what you apply externally.

Other acne treatments, including prescription medications such as antibiotics and Accutane®, can display potent activity but may have significant side-effects. Natural medicines tend to be milder, safer and are far less likely to cause negative reactions.

BENEFITS
VitaMedica's Healthy Skin Formula offers a number of benefits including:

Nutrients to Promote Skin Health
The formula contains Vitamin A, from both Palmitate and Betatene®, which reduces sebum production and the buildup of keratin in the follicle. The formulation also contains zinc, selenium, and chromium. Each of these nutrients has a significant role in skin health.

MSM for Antibacterial and Repair
MethylSulfonylMethane, commonly referred to as MSM, is naturally occurring nutritional sulfur. Sulfur is found in the tissues of all plants and animals, and is the fourth most abundant mineral in the human body. It is stored in virtually every cell of the body with the highest concentrations in the skin, hair, nails. MSM combines with toxins in the body, facilitating their removal via urination. Dietary sulfur is an essential ingredient of protein necessary for collagen synthesis. Collagen is the most common protein in the body, and the main component of skin and bones. It is needed for the growth and repair of cells, gums, blood vessels, bones and teeth. Vitamin C, is an important regulator of collagen synthesis, and works synergistically with MSM. By keeping skin cells soft, MSM also allows skin to detoxify. MSM enhances tissue pliability and encourages the repair of damaged skin.

Nutrients to Support Inflammatory Control
Bromelain, an enzyme extracted from pineapple, and selenium both have anti-inflammatory properties.

Herbs to Cleanse & Detoxify
Burdock, dandelion, Oregon grape and yellow dock are powerful herbs known for their potent cleansing properties of the skin and blood.

Formulated in Easy-to-Swallow Capsules
Only two capsules are required per day, making the supplement easy to take, especially for younger patients who have a higher incidence of acne.

INDICATIONS
Healthy Skin Formula is indicated for patients with mild to moderate acne. The product is suitable for patients 12 years or older. This nutraceutical is ideal for individuals who do not eat a well-balanced diet on a consistent basis. Because of the poor dietary habits of people who are 15-30 years of age, Healthy Skin Formula is particularly well-suited for patients in this age group.

CONTRAINDICATIONS
Nutritional supplements have an excellent safety track record. However, certain individuals should seek the advice of their doctor before beginning the program particularly diabetics, pregnant or lactating women. HEALTHY SKIN FORMULA contains Vitamin A. If you are presently taking Accutane® (isotretinoin) for the treatment of acne, please refrain from taking HEALTHY SKIN FORMULA until the end of the treatment cycle.

DIRECTIONS
The recommended dosing of Healthy Skin Formula is 2 capsules per day, taken with food to maximize absorption and minimize gastrointestinal upset. The capsules may be taken together or in divided doses.

Higher doses of Healthy Skin Formula may be appropriate for individuals with moderate acne when adding the supplement to their skin-care regimen. However, to avoid potential gastrointestinal discomfort, patients should start with two capsules per day for a few days. Provided the patient is not experiencing any GI discomfort or other symptoms, then the dosing may be gradually increased to 4 capsules per day.

Healthy Skin Formula is not indicated for continuous long-term use. The product may be used for periods of 12 months duration, but should be discontinued for at least 2 months before initiating a subsequent 12 month cycle of the product.
