Support your skin and collagen formation with nutrients from the plant kingdom
Share
Collagen is crucial for the skin's elasticity and structure, but the body's own production decreases with age. By providing the right nutrients, you can naturally support the skin.
Vitamin C – the key to collagen formation
According to the Swedish Food Agency, vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the skin's normal function and protects cells against oxidative stress. Since the body cannot produce vitamin C on its own, we need to obtain it through our diet.
Natural sources rich in vitamin C:
• Acerola: One of the fruits richest in vitamin C.
• Baobab: Contains both vitamin C and fiber.
Powder Mixes Berry Beautiful contains both acerola and baobab, making it an easy way to get natural vitamin C.
Antioxidants that protect the skin
Free radicals can break down the collagen in the skin, but antioxidants help protect the cells.
Example of powerful antioxidants:
• Acai & blueberry: Rich in anthocyanins, which are known for their antioxidant properties.
• Matcha: Contains catechins that help protect cells against oxidative stress.
Berry Beautiful contains both acai and blueberries, providing a natural boost of antioxidants.
Plant-based proteins and amino acids
Collagen consists of amino acids, and although it naturally occurs in animal products, some plant-based foods can contribute important building blocks.
Good sources include:
• Spirulina: Contains essential amino acids and beta-carotene.
• Chlorella: Naturally rich in proteins and chlorophyll.
Powder Mixes Detox Deluxe contains both spirulina and chlorella, making it a good option for providing the body with nutrients from the plant kingdom.
Give your skin the support it deserves
By including nutritious foods in your diet, you can give your skin the best conditions to maintain its natural glow. A varied intake of fruits, vegetables, and nutrient-rich plant-based ingredients, e.g., from superfoods, is the key to the skin's long-term well-being.
