Food supplements that will aid with your health and skin care

Taking care of your health, inside, outside these days is an overwhelming pool of information, commercialised, left right and centre. But how do you know to take supplements for your inner and outer-beauty?

Let me give you a brief breakdown of the most common issues, supplements that will aid with your health and beauty.  I still recommend to do your own research, take responsibility for your health and if you can get a consultation with a holistic doctor, homeopath, or even your GP for serious health conditions. I am not a medical advisor but can give some guidance.

!!! some supplements are a contra-indication with certain pharmaceuticals – I am not giving any advice, I merely speak from my own experiences and research on this subject and my training with several food supplement companies, and monthly articles in the IHCAN magazine.

Collagen, very beneficial for skin, nails, hair, joints, especially when women reach the age of hormonal change, between the age of 50-60 years old we loose 60% of our collagen and elastin proteins, that are responsible for many hormonal processes in the body. Collagen was often used in cosmetics, all had evolved very fast in this industry and active ingredients that support the ageing process are to be found in the Active Future range and Timeline range of the products I use of Dr. Christine Schrammek . Collagen can be taken in powder or tablets, Nature’s Plus sells and excellent supplement for daily use. Collagen is also found in organic grass-fed meats as beef, and other animal fats. If you wish to increase your intake through nutrition, then high level organic broths are your source  of collagen.

Vitamin C, another essential vitamin that is responsible for many processes, that is also often used for colds, flus, inflammations,….On skin level, vitamin C is an excellent anti-oxidant, to reduce skin pigmentation, clear and brighten up the skin. There are so many uses for vitamin C, this one is essential to keep with you, in your holistic health cabinet.

Minerals like Magnesium,  Zinc, Copper, Chromium, Selenium, Manganese, are all vital trace minerals, to only name a few. They are often used or part of skin care products if this is based on a holistic, medical research and base. Zinc and Magnesium are the most common ones, that help on so many levels, on the skin and also inside the body for many processes.

Colloidal Silver, is another amazing first aid liquid for internal and external use. Inflammation, is healing, anti bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-parasitic, one of these first aid products to always have with you. Great in skin care too. Silver skin fluid in Dr. Schrammek range for regulating skin irritations, sensitivity, outbreaks, acne prone skin. CS can be used internal and external, for humans and animals, from tooth ache to sore throats.

The list of good sources supplements and their intake for internal, and external use is endless. Make sure your choice of supplement is a quality brand, ethically sourced, and clean.

Anything you put in your body on your skin is of great importance, the body does keep a score when too many chemicals that are harmful being used. That’s why detoxing and choice of products is ever so important!

For massage oils, in body treatments, I use organic jojoba oils, and for facials Weleda organic oils. Or fractioned  coconut oil with the essential oils of DoTerra.

You can find me in the Health Food shop in Dorchester, Antilope Walk on Wednesdays and Saturdays, for guidance towards your supplements and organic whole foods.

Other days I’m available from your treatments and healing/ spiritual guidance  sessions.

Have a good week,

Sofie
