DESCRIPTION
VitaMedica’s Healthy Skin Formula is a nutritional supplement that provides internal skin care by enhancing the body’s natural systems for repairing, cleansing and healing.

Many topical treatments for the care of acne and inflammatory disorders of the skin are available. While effective, these regimens contain products that generate activity primarily on the outer layer of the skin.  Although the topical approach represents the foundation of good skin care, it also makes sense to address what is going on internally. That’s because what you put inside your body is just as important as what you apply externally.

Other acne treatments, including prescription medications such as antibiotics and Accutane®, can have powerful activity along with significant side effects. Natural medicines tend to be milder, safer and are far less likely to cause negative reactions.

VitaMedica’s Healthy Skin Formula is designed to boost the effectiveness of the topical products currently recommended by your skin care professional.  The result is a comprehensive, bi-directional approach to naturally support proper skin functioning and a healthy-looking complexion.


BENEFITS
Nutrients to Promote Skin Health. The formula contains Vitamin A (from Palmitate and Betatene®) which reduces sebum production and the buildup of keratin in the follicle. The formulation also contains zinc, selenium, and chromium.  Each of these nutrients has a very important role in skin health.

MSM for Antibacterial and Repair. The formula contains MSM a natural form of organic sulfur, which is a natural antiseptic and necessary for collagen synthesis.  By keeping skin cells soft, MSM also allows skin to detoxify. MSM enhances tissue pliability and encourages the repair of damaged skin. 

Nutrients to Support Inflammatory Control. Bromelain, an enzyme extracted from pineapple, and selenium both have anti-inflammatory properties.

Herbs to Cleanse & Detoxify. Burdock, dandelion, Oregon grape and yellow dock are powerful herbs known for their potent cleansing properties of the skin and blood.

Formulated in Easy-to-Swallow Capsules. Only two capsules are required per day, making the supplement easy to take, especially for younger patients who often have acne.
