Nutricosmetics

Diet plays a direct role in our physical appearance, but even the most varied diets can have certain deficiencies. Nutricosmetics aim to complement our meals and reflect this in our skin.

More popular in the United States than in our country, nutricosmetics have become an additional part of our beauty rituals and, above all, an ally in delaying the signs of aging.

What exactly is Nutricosmetics?

A nutricosmetic is a dietary supplement made up of one or more concentrated natural substances that complement our diet and help delay the aging of our tissues from the inside, thus preserving the beauty of our skin.

In a way, it recovers, through medical and industrial procedures, the remedies used years ago, based on plant extracts, all in the form of a pill or capsule.

What is its composition?

The production of elastin and collagen decreases with age, and we need extra support to maintain the skin's structure and prevent the aging of tissues. The authorized substances include vitamins A, D, E, K, B group, PP, and C, minerals, fatty acids, polyphenols, and plant extracts.

Hyaluronic or hydrolyzed collagen from fish prevents the formation of wrinkles and sagging. Vitamins A, C, and E are the most natural and effective antioxidants against free radicals that damage our skin. Resveratrol, also extracted from grape skins and seeds, has also gained much prominence in nutricosmetics. It is another great ally for the health of our cells.

Are they safe? What should a good nutricosmetic have?

Obviously, a good nutricosmetic must meet the requirements set by the European Union: safety, bioavailability (it should be available for the skin), purity, technology, effectiveness, and synergy (it should work better in combination with other products). Health authorities set the maximum amounts of active ingredients that should be in the product to ensure safety and efficacy. This is a crucial filter, as several studies have pointed out the risks of overusing certain vitamins.

How to achieve greater effectiveness?

The key is to combine them with our daily beauty routine. A nutricosmetic can be useful for balancing the daily dose of nutrients our body needs, thus increasing the quality of cellular regeneration for excellent results. In fact, in other countries, combined and specific treatments are even starting to be sold: anti-aging, regenerating, or sun protection treatments.
