Zinc* is present in both the epidermis and dermis. It helps in stabilising cell membranes, serves as an essential cofactor for several metalloenzymes, and participates in basal cell mitosis and differentiation. Moderate zinc deficiency may cause pigmentation changes, decreased hair and nail growth, and skin lesions.
Biotin* is known to play a role in building the keratin infrastructure, helps the production of fatty acids that nourish the skin, and helps oil glands function correctly.
Live Probiotic Cultures such as those found in fermented foods and probiotics, play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy gut by promoting a balanced microbiome and enhancing digestive health.
Vitamin D3 is the potent form of Vitamin D and helps regulate immunity in the skin. In the epidermis possess hydroxylase enzymes that locally convert vitamin D to D3, the form that regulates epidermal proliferation and differentiation. Vitamin D3 also has photoprotective effects, modulates inflammation, and supports wound healing.
Vitamin K2 prevents calcification of the protein elastin, the protein that helps to smooth out lines and wrinkles. K2 is necessary for activation of matrix proteins that inhibit calcium from being deposited in elastin fibres and keeps the fibres from hardening and causing wrinkles. It is also necessary for the proper functioning of vitamin A and D dependent proteins.
Vitamin B2* (Riboflavin) has an important role in the structure of the skin and helps the body absorb and utilise zinc from the diet. It prevents calcification of the protein elastin, the protein that helps to smooth out lines and wrinkles. K2 is necessary for activation of matrix proteins that inhibit calcium from being deposited in elastin fibres and keeps the fibres from hardening and causing wrinkles. It is also necessary for the proper functioning of vitamin A and D dependent proteins.
Keratin is the basic protein responsible for good skin, hair and nails.
* Zinc, Biotin & Vitamin B2 contribute to the maintenance of normal skin.
