Your skin is made up of 75% Collagen – How to Increase Collagen Production

Aging Skin

I never stop “researching the research” and today I want to talk more about increasing Collagen production.

Collagen is the most plentiful protein in the skin, that makes up 75% – 80% of our skin.

In another article “Can we Halt the Deterioration of Collagen?” I spoke about the effects of Collagen deterioration and how it impacts significantly on our ability to become a Super Ager.

3 ways to Increase Collagen Production in Your Skin

I am so very passionate about how we can increase Collagen in our skin and that is why I added the Collagen Elixir to the CELL Infuse range of products.

The Collagen Elixir, with a number of Plant Extracts, is 100% natural having gone through a unique extraction process to keep the Elixir very potent and active, and also to retain one of the highest sources of Vitamin C available.

It is also packed with powerful polyphenols and their derivatives.  These extracts are changing the direction of natural skincare enormously.

In addition to Vitamin C, Here are two other ways to help rebuild Collagen…

Tone Your Skin with this Heart Nutrient… 

CoQ10 benefits for collagen productionMany people think of CoQ10 as a supplement you take orally. But you can also use it topically.

You see, CoQ10 is a small molecule that easily penetrates the skin’s surface. It gets down to the living layers of the epidermis. It absorbs quickly into your skin cells. A Japanese study found that applying CoQ10 to skin cells boosts the production of a special type of collagen that connects your skin’s outermost epidermis layer to its deeper dermis.

It anchors your skin so it doesn’t sag and wiggle around. It visibly reduces crow’s feet and wrinkles.

organic rosehip oil skincare benefitsRose Hip Oil contains retinoic acid. It can help tighten skin and improve elasticity. It also helps reverse collagen damage.

In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, daily use of retinoic acid increased collagen production by 80%.

Vitamin C

As I have said on many occasions, one of the best ways to replenish lost collagen is Vitamin C.  Duke University researchers found that Vitamin C boosts Collagen production regardless of age.

And the best source of Vitamin C that I’ve found for your skin is Camu Camu. It helps rebuild collagen to firm your skin and smooth fine lines and wrinkles. I enjoy Camu Camu in a powder form.  Look for it online and in your health food store.

I like to add the dried powder to my Protein shake of a morning.  Start off slowly then increase over time. It is considered we can consume up to 3,000 mg a day from supplements and food and that will help to produce Collagen to repair and rebuild your skin.

CELL Infuse Rejuvenol 3 Pack

Today I have put three powerful Collagen building products together for you to see the benefits of increased Collagen production personally.  The CELL Infuse Rejuvenol 3 pack is the ideal combination of products to strengthen and repair, returning firmness, elasticity and youthfulness.  Read More about this fantastic combination of products here.

 

 

Its all about inner beauty confidence

I love this nutrient for the results it brings to my skin & I’ve seen first hand what it does to energy levels. It’s one of the best for anti-aging. I’m talking about a co-enzyme called Ubidecarenone, also known as Coenzyme Q10 and Ubiquinone. We like to call it CoQ10.

Understanding CoQ10s extraordinary anti-ageing effect

CoQ10 is a natural nutrient that works as an anti oxidant in the body & is therefore important for the health of virtually all human tissues and organs. It plays an essential role in the production of energy in all cells & is an essential element for many daily functions. As an antioxidant it soaks up the damage caused by free radicals, which in turn are caused by stress, pollution, too much of the wrong foods and life in general.

The science of CoQ10 benefits for skinIn scientific trials, I have seen the significant difference CoQ10 can make to the heart. Coenzyme Q10 affects your body at all levels by re-energising the mitochondria – the cell’s’ energy source. In just six weeks they looked energised, brighter – younger.

Why add it to skincare:

Internally and externally it fights off the environmental threats that accelerate aging, making your skin dull, sagging, and wrinkled. It can create a youthful glow from the inside out, keeping the cells in your skin younger, longer for longer. In fact as we age the levels of Coq10 in the body lessens and that effects our energy levels. CoQ10 is key for energy production and applying CoQ10 onto the skin helps boost the levels of this ingredient so it can prevent anti-aging, fight fine lines and wrinkles.

So many companies include it in their skin care products, and we certainly have done that with our CELL INFUSE natural & organic skincare. One of our most loved products is our CoQ10 Complex, which helps lock in products on the skin and protects it whilst adding moisture and nourishment at the same time.

 

 

CoQ10, The Miracle Co-enzyme

Understanding CoQ10’s extraordinary anti-ageing effect

I can’t tell you how excited I get about this nutrient, having seen firsthand the powerful change it brings to skin, body, energy levels and mental clarity. It is, without a doubt, the Number 1 anti-ageing nutrient. I’m talking about a co-enzyme called Ubidecarenone, which is also known as Coenzyme Q10 and Ubiquinone. We like to call it CoQ10.

CoQ10 for energy and staminaCoQ10 is important for the health of virtually all human tissues and organs as it plays an essential role in the production of energy in all cells. It is an antioxidant that mops up the damage caused by free radicals, which in turn are caused by stress, pollution, too much of the wrong foods, alcohol and life in general.

But from the age of 30 onward, our body’s production of CoQ10 and other antioxidants slows down. Older adults have been found to have less than half the naturally occurring levels of CoQ10 than our younger counterparts. This is believed to be a significant contributor to the typical loss of energy, stamina, and mental acuity associated with growing older.

Why does my body need CoQ10?

CoQ10 benefits for face and skinIn scientific trials, I have seen the difference CoQ10 can make. In just six weeks, people look energised, brighter – younger. Coenzyme Q10 affects your body at all levels by re-energising the mitochondria – the cell’s’ energy source.

It fights off the environmental threats that accelerate aging, making your skin dull, sagging, and wrinkled. It can create a youthful glow from the inside out, keeping the cells in your skin younger, longer for longer. But the magic doesn’t stop there.

Your body needs this nutrient at every level

CoQ10 for mental clarityCoQ10 works at all levels. Most organs function better with optimum levels: skin, brain, eye, heart, gums, immune system, and muscles. By taking good quality CoQ10 supplements you can increase your energy levels, improve cholesterol and blood pressure and even slow or reverse aging or disease.  My preferred supplement would be Bioceuticals Ubiquinol 150mg.

Research and clinical studies show that CoQ10 has a wide range of additional important health benefits, including:

  • Greater focus and clarity in thinking
  • Decreasing your risk of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s
  • Relief for migraine headaches
  • Improving performance for endurance athletes
  • Preventing skeletal decline
  • Speeding up the metabolism of fats in our bodies
  • The Number 1 anti-ageing nutrient you’ve may never heard of

After extensive research, I have learned that Ubiquinol is the most active and absorbable form of CoQ10 available, keeping your levels of CoQ10 high up to eight times longer.

Our CELL Infuse CoQ10 Complex,  locks in and protects all those exceptional ingredients.

Did you know that CoQ10 is one of the most promising tools in the anti-aging arsenal; could you use some in your life?

To your health, naturally!

CoQ10 – Anti-Aging Antioxidant Powerhouse

The Antioxidant Powerhouse

A super anti-aging antioxidant that improves the health of your heart, brain and skin, while also boosting your energy and vitality. 

It fights off the environmental threats that accelerate aging skin, making your skin dull, sagging, and wrinkled.
It creates a youthful glow from the inside out, keeping the cells in your skin younger, longer.
It’s called… Ubidecarenone.

What is Ubidecarenone?

CoQ10Ubidecarenone, also known as Coenzyme Q10, CoQ10, and Ubiquinone, plays an essential role in the production
of energy in all cells. It is important for the health of virtually all human tissues and organs.

The Ubiquinol is the most active and absorbable form of CoQ10 available. It keeps your levels of CoQ10 high up to 8 times longer than regular CoQ10.

Coenzyme Q10 is a powerful anti-oxidant which can neutralize the damaging free radicals that play a large part in the aging process. The body’s production of natural antioxidants decreases with age, which is thought to be at least part of the reason for the typical loss of energy, stamina, and mental alertness associated with growing older.
However, research on the effect of supplemental CoQ10 has shown that boosting the levels of this compound can have dramatically positive results.

Coenzyme Q10 is an essential component of healthy mitochondrial function. It is incorporated into cells’ mitochondria throughout the body where it facilitates and regulates the oxidation of fats and sugars into energy. Aging humans have been found to have over 50% less CoQ10 on average compared to that of young adults. This finding makes CoQ10 one of the most important nutrients for people over 30 to supplement with. About 95% of cellular energy is produced in the mitochondria. The mitochondria are the cells “energy powerhouses” and many maladies have been referred to as “mitochondrial disorders.” A growing body of scientific research links a deficiency of CoQ10 to age-related mitochondrial disorders.

Benefits of taking Coenzyme Q10

CoQ10 is one of the most promising tools in the anti-aging arsenal.
Research and clinical studies show that CoQ10 has a wide range of additional important health benefits, including:

Greater focus and clarity in thinking
Increased energy and its sustainability
Lowering of hypertension and blood pressure
Strong antioxidant for neutralizing free radicals

Studies in endurance athletes have shown an improvement in both anaerobic and aerobic performance. Other studies showed an improvement in muscle recovery. These studies included cross country skiers, and martial arts athletes that had long training sessions.

The antioxidant power of CoQ10 also makes it an excellent natural anti-aging solution. Free radicals are destroyed, energy and vitality is increased and cells are brought back to a stable, healthy condition that might have been lost during mid-life.
According to a published scientific study CoQ10 prevents skeletal decline by improving communication between genes and cells in the body.
Since it can speed up the metabolism of fats, is one of the best supplements to help overweight people loss their excess weight.

Benefits of Omega 3 Fish Oil

Omega 3 Fish Oil is a source of omega-3 fatty acids, which can provide an anti-inflammatory action within the body. Heart Health
It can help to reduce inflammation and joint swelling associated with arthritis.
Fish oil helps to maintain and support a healthy heart and cardiovascular system.
It can assist in the maintenance of normal eye and brain function, as well as decreasing fat (triglycerides) in the blood in healthy people.

Studies on omega-3 fatty acids are so impressive that an agency of the National Institutes of Health published a report stating that fish oil can help reduce deaths from heart disease. The FDA itself states supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may actually reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.

The ultimate solution is to purchase some high quality CoQ10 plus fish oil supplements.
