Anti-Aging Supplements That Can Lead to Ultimate Skin Renewal

Anti-aging supplements - are they even a thing? Sounds too good to be true, right? Well, they are very real. They can contain potent nutrients which have been proven to be capable of staving off signs of aging. In fact, a few of these nutrients are also some of the main ingredients in natural anti-aging creams and serums too. These supplements are becoming very popular among consumers as well as doctors.

If you are thinking about trying them but don't know where to begin, check out the list below. These are some of  the best in my opinion.

Alpha-Lipoic Acid

Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA) is one of the naturally found compounds in every cell of your body. It is a potent, yet versatile, antioxidant that fights against inflammation and counteracts the reactive free radicals. This fat and water soluble antioxidant also balances blood sugar, as it gets converted into energy. What makes it special is the way it boosts the effectiveness of other oxidants in the body. Thus, making it one of the finest anti-aging supplements that you can take. Even though your body does produce ALA, it often does not make as much as is needed to keep your skin healthy and young. So, you can look for external sources, such as from supplements or in your diet. If you are over age 40, ALA should be one of your "go to" supplements.

Resveratrol

The scientific literature indicates that resveratrol is one of the most effective compounds for maintaining optimal health as well as promoting longevity. It works to cleanse the body of pollutants and other contaminants, which helps to keep your skin fresher, healthier, and more elastic. This also helps to prevent the formation of new wrinkles and reduces the appearance of any existing ones.

Argireline

Most of you have heard about Botox. Botox works by preventing muscle contraction where wrinkles usually form easily. This is done by blocking protein from connecting with cells in the body to trigger muscle contraction. But have you heard about Argireline? Argireline is found in Botox, but Argireline only temporarily disables the proteins in order to relax the muscle, whereas Botox destroys these proteins. Thus, Argireline is considered a safer way to reduce the appearance of deep wrinkles.

S-Acetyl Glutathione

Glutathione is one of the best known detoxifiers which can protect you against the toxins found in food, air, and water. But, what's even better are its remarkable anti-aging properties. It is made of 3 amino acids and is one of the single most powerful antioxidants produced by the liver. Low levels of glutathione have been linked to every major aging process in the human body. After the age of 20, natural production of it slows down and by the time you reach age 60 you will be producing only half of what you did in your teens. Thus, taking this supplement can help slow this process.

Coenzyme Q-10

Coenzyme Q-10 is a remarkably powerful antioxidant that facilitates and regulates the oxidation of fats and sugar into energy. It boosts energy, supports cellular health and even protects the heart. To choose the right form of CoQ-10 look for it in ubiquinol form as that is more readily used by the body than the more commonly available ubiquinone form.

Please consult with your physician before adding these supplements to your diet, just to make sure they don't conflict with anything else going on in your body or with any medications you might be taking currently. If you do further research on your own you'll probably find a few more you might want to add to your list as well.
