Nutrients Needed:

Vitamins

Vitamin C is a builder of the protein collagen. If you have watched or read ads for skin care products you may know that collagen is our skin’s primary connective tissue. When your skin does not get enough collagen, it sags and bags. Vitamin C is also an excellent antioxidant with properties capable of vaporizing free radicals (harmful chemicals) in the body. Free radicals damage body tissue, including hair follicles and skin. http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/infocenter/skin/vitaminC/

Vitamin A is a healer. It helps repair and restore cells that might have been damaged. One way to get enough Vitamin A is to eat foods packed with beta-carotene, an antioxidant our liver converts into vitamin A.

Another skin “doctor” is Vitamin E. Vitamin E helps the body repair itself, prevents scarring, and is recommended for shiny, healthy looking hair. Vitamin E pumps up our red blood cells so they can haul more nutrients and oxygen to hair follicles and skin.

Vitamin B-Complex is an important supplement to add to your daily diet for overall health. B-Complex contains vitamins B5, B2, and biotin, all which promote cell growth.
