DERMAVITEฎ
Dietary Supplement for Healthy Skin
What Is DERMAVITE?
Good Science. Good Sense for Your Skin.*
All of us want attractive, healthy, radiant skin skin we can be proud of. Research has shown that vitamins nourish skin, inside and out.1 DermaVite, Dietary Supplement for Healthy Skin, was developed in conjunction with leading dermatologists because dermatologists know best how to restore and maintain healthy skin. DermaVite is a unique formulation of vitamins, minerals and trace elements that help nourish and protect skin.
Dermatologic Science Supports the Value of Vitamins*
Environmental factors such as pollution, UV rays, smoke and alcohol can all contribute to generate free radicals.1 Under attack by these aggressive, unstable molecules, the cellular renewal process weakens, resulting in damaged, prematurely aged skin. Over time, this results in a loss of collagen, skin elasticity and flexibility, contributing to the formation of wrinkles and leathery skin. Research shows certain vitamins, called antioxidants, counteract or neutralize the damaging effects of free radicals.1 These include vitamins, A, C, E 1, 2, beta-Carotene4 and lycopene.5
Vitamin Deficiencies Represent a Risk to Your Skin*
Because the body itself cannot produce antioxidant vitamins necessary for its overall well-being, it must acquire them from a balanced diet or nutritional supplements. Since the average diet is generally lacking in its quantity of antioxidant vitamins, a daily nutritional supplement is often necessary.
Fighting back with DermaVite*
DermaVite, a dietary supplement developed specifically to help maintain healthy skin, is rich in fat-soluble vitamins that protect skin cell membranes, and water-soluble vitamins that help protect the inside of skins cells and their DNA from harm.1 The nutrients in DermaVite also help regulate skin cell functions such as growth, reproduction and division.2,3
DermaVite contains a balanced blend of antioxidants and dermal-specific micronutrients that work at the cellular level to:
|
|
help shield cells from free radical-induced changes in DNA, |
|
|
help retard aging, wrinkling and hardening of tissues caused by oxidation, |
|
|
help preserve tissue elasticity, and |
|
|
contribute to the resilience of connective tissue. |
Remember, maintaining healthy skin also relies on a lifestyle that includes a balanced nutritious diet, regular exercise, UV protection, good hygiene and adequate rest.
