KIWI COLLAGEN BOOST - 120s

Ah, the humble Chinese Gooseberry. This little fruit houses amazing health benefits including an abundance of vitamin C and antioxidant benefits while also being considered a ‘superfood’.

The seeds of this superfood contain a significant amount of Omega-3 fatty acid (Alpha Linolenic Acid (ALA)) and tocopherols (vitamin E) both of which are conducive to helping with anti-aging. How? Excellent bioavailability means the body can absorb and use these properties effectively. And, as a well-known antiaging product, ALA also combines with proteins and cholesterol creating living membranes that hold cells together. Just what you need to keep your skin in its best condition.

As an excellent source of cellular energy helping to maintain their resilience and lubrication, kiwifruit seed oil is a highly nourishing oil with impressive plant fatty acids. These fatty acids provide significant support to the skin helping with moisture retention, conditioning, soothing while preventing scaling and drying.

Skin usually has high levels of Vitamin C that supports collagen synthesis, antioxidant functions and protection against UV-photodamage. But when those levels reduce we see signs of aging and damage. Reduced concentration of cellular vitamin C causes the skin to lose its elasticity and plumpness because of the reduced ability to regulate the synthesis of collagen.

Replenishing your Vitamin C levels potentiates your skin cells to become plumper and better conditioned and better able to fight the effects of aging and environmental damage.

Vitamin C supports a number of cell functions and health benefits including:

Stablising the collagen formation process – which helps to increase the repair of damaged skin.

Increasing the rate of fibroblast formation (a rate that decreases with age) – these fibroblast cells secrete collagen proteins.

One of the richest sources of Omega-3 fatty acids that you can get, Flaxseed Oil is an unsaturated Omega-3 fatty acid (alpha-linolenic acid) and is the "good" kind of fat needed for healthy skin. Flaxseed Oil helps improve the skin’s elasticity, moisture levels and overall appearance. One tablespoon provides more than 7g of omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) - over 600% more than the daily recommendation for Omega-3. This volume makes it one of the richest sources of plant-based omega-3s.

Studies have shown Flaxseed Oil improves skin smoothness and hydration while reducing skin sensitivity to irritation and roughness.

Fatty acids help keep skin hydrated, moist and smooth while preventing drying and reducing fine lines, wrinkles and dullness.

The ALA fatty acids in Flaxseed Oil are powerful antioxidants that can help reduce skin cell inflammation and promote the regeneration of skin by toning, tightening, firming and plumping the skin towards a more youthful appearance.
