Nutrition for Healthy Skin

Your skin is your body’s largest organ and a visible reflection of your internal health. The nutrients you consume directly affect skin structure, function and appearance. Supporting skin health through nutrition is a long-term approach that complements any external skincare routine.

Vitamin C — Collagen Formation & Antioxidant Protection

Vitamin C is perhaps the most important nutrient for skin health. It plays two key roles:

• Collagen formation — vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation, which is essential for skin structure, firmness and elasticity. Collagen is the main structural protein that gives skin its strength and resilience.
• Antioxidant protection — vitamin C contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress caused by UV exposure and environmental pollutants.

Nutri-Leaf Vitamin C 1000mg provides 1000 mg of pure ascorbic acid per serving — a simple, effective way to maintain adequate vitamin C levels for skin health.

Zinc — Supporting Skin Structure & Function

Zinc is a trace mineral with multiple roles relevant to skin health:

• It contributes to the maintenance of normal skin.
• It contributes to normal protein synthesis, which supports skin cell renewal and repair.
• It contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

Biotin & Copper — Complementary Nutrients

• Biotin (vitamin B7) contributes to the maintenance of normal skin and mucous membranes.
• Copper contributes to normal skin pigmentation and is involved in cross-linking collagen and elastin, which support skin firmness.

Selenium — Antioxidant Defence

Selenium is an essential component of antioxidant enzymes and contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. It works alongside vitamin E to maintain cell membrane integrity.

Nutri-Leaf Skin Hair & Nails combines vitamin C, zinc, biotin, copper and selenium with five complementary plant extracts (bamboo, millet, nettle, horsetail and rosemary leaf) in a single daily capsule — comprehensive nutritional support for skin, hair and nails.

Lifestyle Factors for Skin Health

• Stay well hydrated — water supports skin hydration from within.
• Protect skin from excessive UV exposure with appropriate sun protection.
• Eat a varied diet rich in colourful fruits and vegetables for a broad range of phytonutrients.
• Ensure adequate intake of healthy fats from nuts, seeds and avocados.
• Manage stress levels — prolonged stress can affect skin condition over time.
