Vitamin supplements can play a significant part in helping maintain healthy skin, hair and nails. There are a number of general multivitamin supplements available, and the use of specific mineral or vitamins can also be useful. When exposure to the sun is likely, a sunscreen is essential. In addition, supplements containing Carotenoids and also Antioxidants (Vitamins C, E and Zinc) can help protect against free radicals produced during exposure to the sun's rays. Vitamin C is important in keeping skin firm, as it is used by the body to form collagen. Taking Vitamin C together with Bioflavonoids may speed its absorption. Vitamin E can help maintain the appearance and health of skin. Fatty acids (such as those found in Fish oil and Evening Primrose oil) assist the skin in moisture retention, so helping to keep it soft and supple. A good diet is absolutely key to the maintenance of healthy looking skin, hair and nails. As many of us, and especially those in the teenage years, can suffer from skin blemishes partly due to dietary imbalances, the use of a good general multivitamin and mineral supplement is often advisable. The supplements included in this section are included for illustrative purposes. We have included products in this section when the manufacturer's literature suggests they may be relevant, or where the product contains nutrients which have been used traditionally for this purpose. Inclusion in a particular section does not imply that Academy Health are confirming the product will be effective in treating any particular condition. Although the situation is improving steadily, clinical studies for particular nutrients or products are patchy at best. For this reason, inclusion of a product should not be taken as meaning there is any conclusive clinical evidence that the product will be effective in this area. In the absence of a confirmation to the contrary, it should be assumed clinical evidence does not exist to support the use of the product in treating this condition or in this area. In all cases, if symptoms persist or you are worried about your health, do not rely on health supplements but contact your doctor. |
