Skin, hair, nails

Hair, for instance, grows at the rate of 1 centimeter per month. Extrapolated to all of a person's hair, this would mean a hair growth of 30 meters per day!
This task, of course, requires sufficient nutrients and bioactive substances that we have to make sure are included in our food. So, with a healthy diet, we can support Beauty from Within.

Hyaluronic acid - healthy skin needs moisture

The transparent, gel-like hyaluronic acid is a natural component of our skin.
The endogenous substance is produced within the subcutaneous connective tissue cells themselves. Due to its chemical structure, hyaluronic acid is capable of binding large quantities of water to the body.
An impressive example of this is the eye. Up to 98 % of the vitreous body consists of water which is bonded by only 2 % hyaluronic acid!

Hyaluronic acid can serve our skin as a form of filler between the individual skin cells. Large amounts of water can be bonded in this way – moisture our skin needs for a healthy and firm appearance.

The hyaluronic acid content decreases with age! Unfortunately, the amount of hyaluronic acid in our body decreases as we get older. Its endogenous production begins to decline from the age of about 25. Our skin thus loses essential moisture that is, however, needed for a healthy and strong appearance.

Functions of the skin:

• Protection from physical impacts
• Immune protection through its acid mantle
• Sensory organ through its tactile corpuscles
• "Air-conditioning" through regulated perspiration
• Self-protection from UV radiation
