Why are food supplements effective for the skin?
The skin is a living organ that constantly renews itself. It needs a continuous supply of specific nutrients. Food supplements provide concentrated, bioavailable doses of the active ingredients the skin lacks most, where topical creams cannot penetrate.
Essential nutrients for beautiful skin
Marine collagen
Collagen accounts for approximately 70% of the skin's dry weight. Its production begins to decline from the age of 25 (≈1% per year). Hydrolyzed marine collagen helps maintain the skin's firmness and elasticity.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is essential for collagen synthesis. It helps protect cells against oxidative stress (EFSA claim). It is the most scientifically documented anti-aging active ingredient.
Biotin
Biotin helps maintain normal skin (EFSA claim). It plays a role in the metabolism of fatty acids that make up the skin's lipid barrier.
Zinc
Zinc helps maintain normal skin and protect cells against oxidative stress. It is the number one ally for blemish-prone skin: it regulates sebum production.
Hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid maintains skin hydration and tissue suppleness. Its concentration decreases with age. As an oral supplement, studies show an improvement in skin hydration.
Carotenoids
Carotenoids are antioxidants that help protect the skin against sun damage and enhance the radiance of the complexion.
Which skin type, which supplement?
- Dull skin: prioritize vitamin C, carotenoids and marine collagen.
- Blemish-prone skin: prioritize zinc, vitamin A and probiotics.
- Dry skin: prioritize hyaluronic acid, omega-3s and biotin.
- Anti-aging: prioritize collagen, vitamin C and coenzyme Q10.

How long does it take to see results?
