We all know that Free Radicals and Antioxidants are usually mentioned when talking about vitamin supplements, or dieting. But, did you know that Free Radicals and Antioxidants play a major role when it comes to preventing skin damage which causes aging? It’s true, Antioxidants are vital for young looking skin.You see, what damages your skin and causes you to age are Free Radicals; The good news is that Antioxidants fight free radicals. In order for you to fight and reverse the aging process, you have to understand what causes aging in the first place. Stick with me for a minute and I’ll explain to you what I mean.Free Radicals are molecules that have lost an electron, this makes them very unstable and they will try to capture the needed electron to gain stability. This means that they will attack the nearest stable molecule and steal its electron. When the attacked molecule loses its electron, it becomes a Free Radical itself. Once the Free Radical creating process is started, it will create a domino like effect.I know that sounds like trouble, but it’s actually a normal part of the physiology of your body. Your body is constantly producing Free Radicals to fight infections. But like all things in life, there must be a balance. Enter the Antioxidant!! Antioxidants will try to give the missing electron to the Free Radical so it can repair itself and become a normal molecule again thus stopping the domino destructive effect on your skin. How cool is that!!!:)Sadly though, the major cause of Free Radicals is sunlight and to make matters worst, as you grow older the skin starts losing Antioxidants and your Free Radical activity increases. Which brings all the signs of aging i.e. wrinkles, skin spots, and saggy skin. The good news is that you can provide your body with extra Antioxidants so it can keep on giving the missing electrons to the free radicals. Now you have an understanding of the damage that free radicals have on your skin, and how important Antioxidants are to an anti aging skin product.But what is a good Antioxidant?A good Antioxidant that should be included in all of the anti aging skin products that you use is Co-enzyme Q10 also known as COQ10. This amazing Antioxidant is just what your skin needs to keep those Free Radicals happy and your skin looking young and beautiful. The only problem is that because of the molecular structure of the ingredient, it can not penetrate deep enough into your skin. It will probably go into the first layer, but that’s about it.Thankfully, technology has advanced so much that something called Nano-Lipobelle DN CoQ10 was created (Let’s call it Nano Lipobelle for the sake of keeping it short). Nano Lipobelle contains ultra small particles of co-enzyme Q10 which allows it to go into all seven layers of your skin. Any anti aging skin product with this ingredient will do wonders for your skin.I know I got a little excited talking about Free Radicals and how Antioxidants are the coolest thing ever, but you must also know that they are not the only things you should be looking for in an anti aging skin product. Any anti aging skin product should be providing the necessary nutrients to help your skin increase the production of collagen and elastin which are the skin proteins responsible for the elasticity, tone and texture of your skin. You should also be looking for hyaluronic acid which has been nicknamed by the press as the “key to the fountain of youth.” As you may already know there are many important ingredients which make up a good anti aging skin product. But the bottom line is that once you understand the process of aging, you can fight back to keep your skin looking young and beautiful.

Nutritional dietary herbal supplements are nutritional supplements that contain one or more herbs (or botanicals). Herbs or botanicals are plants, or plant parts, that are used for their flavor, scent, or therapeutic properties.There are many herbs that have a long history of claimed health benefits, but the level of effectiveness and short-term or long-term side-effects of most of these herbs are still unknown and are still being researched.So when choosing herbal supplements, safety should be your primary priority. Below are some things you should remember in choosing a herbal supplement:1. What is natural is not always safeJust because a supplement is labeled “natural” does not mean it is safe. Nutritional dietary herbal supplements made from purely natural ingredients are not necessarily safe – if used improperly, they can have harmful side effects. Some herbs like comfrey and kava, for example, are known to have links with serious liver damage.2. Some nutritional dietary herbal supplements act like drugsNutritional dietary herbal supplements can act in the same way as prescription, over-the-counter, or even prohibited drugs, making them dangerous if taken in large amounts or in the wrong dosages. There have been reported cases of users experiencing negative effects such as palpitation and increased heart rate and blood pressure, even when they closely followed the instructions indicated in the label. If you have any doubts, consult your doctor first.3. Some nutritional dietary herbal supplements interact with medications If you are currently undergoing any treatment or medication (whether taking prescription or over the counter drugs) then you should be extra cautious when taking nutritional dietary herbal supplements. The same holds true for infants, children, and pregnant or nursing women. Some nutritional dietary herbal supplements are known to interact with medications and may cause or lead to health problems.In this case, it is important to consult with a physician before taking any nutritional dietary herbal supplements. All ingredients in the label should be analyzed — its uses, risks, and interactions. In order to rule out life-threatening risks, some people opt to consult two medical professionals – one ‘regular’ doctor and another who is properly trained and updated in herbal medicine and herbal medical systems (such as Ayurvedic medicine and traditional Chinese medicine).IMPORTANT: The Food and Drug Administration Board does not regulate the manufacture and sale of nutritional dietary herbal supplements, so it is important to choose a manufacturer that strictly follows the rules and standards for Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). This ensures that the product contains the right amount of ingredients as indicated in the label. It also eliminates the possibility of the product containing harmful ingredients and contaminants.
