Supple, smooth, clear, and glowing \u2013 these are but a few words to describe healthy-looking skin. Beauty products and cosmetic technology may help improve skin appearance, but they\u2019re mostly skin-deep. Taking the right skin supplements is a far better option to help make your skin glow from the inside out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But first, why is skin health so important?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Well, firstly, the skin reflects what\u2019s happening inside your body<\/strong>. If you\u2019re truly healthy, it will show in your skin. Likewise, unsightly skin issues will soon appear if you\u2019re fighting an infection. Examples include acne, rashes, swelling, dryness, cracking, open sores, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the body\u2019s largest organ, the skin\u2019s three layers are home to keratinocytes, melanocytes, hair follicles, nerves, oil glands, blood vessels, fat, and sweat glands. These different skin layers and components protect us from external threats<\/strong> like germs, pollutants, toxins, and even the sun\u2019s harmful rays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to shielding us from external threats, our skin also holds our internal organs and entire body in place<\/strong>. In short, it keeps the outside world out and our innards within.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that\u2019s not all. The skin is also a massive sensory receptor<\/strong>, letting us feel touch, pressure, pain, heat, and cold. It also helps regulate our body\u2019s temperature<\/strong> so we\u2019re neither hot nor too cold, allowing us to adapt and survive even in harsh weather conditions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what are the best supplements for better skin?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before diving into our recommended skin care supplements, it\u2019s important to note that none of them will instantly clear up your skin and restore its youthful glow and appearance quickly. If that\u2019s what you\u2019re looking for, then dermatologic surgery is your best bet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, for natural and long-term solutions for optimal skin health<\/strong>, these science-backed skin supplements may help you out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skin supplement #1 \u2013 Collagen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the most abundant protein in the body, collagen is responsible for creating skin, muscles, hair, nails, tendons, cartilage, and bones. But we produce less collagen as soon as we hit our 20s, leading to the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. As the years go by, skin elasticity and firmness are also affected. <\/p>\n\n\n

Fortunately, collagen supplementation can help increase the body\u2019s stores, giving rise to its skin and beauty benefits. In fact, a recent systematic review confirmed that collagen does indeed help improve skin elasticity and hydration<\/strong>. It also promotes collagen density<\/strong> in the skin, supporting its use for wound healing and skin aging<\/strong> (1).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For best results, choose a product that uses hydrolyzed collagen, aka collagen peptides. At Intelligent Labs, each scoop of our Collagen Peptides supplement<\/strong> contains 11g of bioavailable collagen sourced from grass-fed and non-GMO cows in New Zealand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skincare supplement #2 \u2013 Vitamin C<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While collagen supports optimal skin health, its effects are limited if you skip out on vitamin C. This vitamin is water soluble and not stored in the body, so we need to take it regularly from either food or supplements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But why exactly do we need to ensure we get enough vitamin C when supplementing with collagen?<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Well, that\u2019s because vitamin C is a co-factor in collagen formation<\/strong>. Without vitamin C, there would be no collagen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, regular vitamin C supplements, aka ascorbic acid, have a big problem. It\u2019s only bioavailable in small doses. Absorption rates decrease significantly when you take more than 200mg daily (2).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To improve vitamin C\u2019s poor absorption rates, we came up with a clever formulation for our Liposomal Vitamin C supplement<\/strong>. We insert vitamin C molecules inside liposomes that are made from sunflower lecithin and coconut oil powder. This formula transforms water-soluble vitamin C into a fat-soluble version, thus significantly improving its absorption!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A more bioavailable vitamin C will help boost collagen production<\/strong>, which is great for your skin. Plus, it will help with immunity, increase energy levels, reduce fatigue, protect against oxidative damage, improve mood, and so much more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skin supplement #3 \u2013 Live Cultures<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You might be surprised to see this supplement on our list of the best skin supplements, but live cultures do contribute to better skin health! These live bacteria form part of our gut microbiome and help with digestion and immune health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since a majority of our immune cells reside in the gut, by keeping our gut healthy, our immune system can function at optimal levels. This means the body is better positioned to fight off skin infections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to enhancing our immunity, probiotics may also help slow down the skin\u2019s aging process by improving skin hydration<\/strong> and elasticity<\/strong>. Moreover, these helpful microbes may also minimize wrinkle depth, balance skin pH, <\/strong>and reduce damage from the sun\u2019s harmful rays<\/strong> (3,\u00a04).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We offer two different live cultures supplements for adults:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
