“You are what you eat.” It’s one of the most famous quotes regarding how food impacts your body. While, the father of modern medicine, Hippocrates said, ““Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” It’s abundantly clear that throughout history the foods that one eats are very important to overall well-being. In recent years there has been a renaissance in the food industry towards clean eating and organic foods. Consumers are becoming more aware that the foods they consume impact their overall health.
There’s even a shift in what consumers are drinking. The U.S. has seen consumers change their drinking habits to focus on healthier alternatives. We’ve all seen the juice bars popping up in local communities, educating consumers on how juices can add essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients to their daily diet. Many men and women are looking to improve their physique while consuming fewer calories from carbohydrates and fats, thus encouraging the increased availability of bottled protein shakes. Even major coffee chains are offering protein supplements in their signature beverages.
We’re now seeing day spas and skincare-based businesses selling nutricosmetic dietary supplements, nutricosmetics are ingestible dietary supplements that support skin, hair and nail health. They have scientific credibility and are an increasingly important component of any professional skin care program as men and women recognize that improvement to skin health has to start from the inside. A very popular nutricosmetic is a powder supplement called Collagen M.D. Advanced Connective Tissue Formula.

- Age
As we age, production of collagen and hyaluronic acid decreases. Our bodies need a supplement to help maintain optimal levels. Nutriocosmetic clients are traditionally in the 40+ age group but increasingly the 25-35+ age group is purchasing because of health concerns and a desire to reduce exposure to chemical ingredients found in many topical skincare products.
- Collagen
Each day the body goes through a natural cycle of collagen breakdown and regeneration but after the age of twenty-five collagen renewal and cell turnover gradually declines, a contributing factor to the appearance of fine lines and loss of suppleness in aging skin.
- Amino Acids
Amino acids influence the function of organs, glands, tendons and arteries. They are essential for wound healing, tissue repair and collagen production. There are key amino acids that support youth-enhancing collagen synthesis and support connective tissue health. - Vitamins
Biotin, Folic Acid, Vitamin B12, and Vitamin C all help support the metabolic needs of aging skin. - Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic Acid is naturally occurring in the body and known for it’s incredible ability to maintain moisture. It’s found throughout the body but in high quantities in the skin, synovial fluid, which fills joint cavities, the vitreous body of the eye and neural tissues. Its production slows down as we age.
