Health Concerns

NeoCell Marine Collagen+HA unique formula provides support for a strong and resilient skin matrix as well as supports skin elasticity and firmness. It also provides the building blocks for collagen synthesis.

• The collagen in this formula is sourced from fish
  
• Hyaluronic Acid supports skin hydration
  
• Vitamins and minerals form a collagen support complex to optimise new collagen production in the dermis
  

The skin matrix is responsible for the structural integrity and resilience of the skin and its natural degradation results in many of the visible signs of aging such as fine lines, loss of elasticity and eventually, deep wrinkles.

Understanding collagen begins with knowing that it is truly the glue that holds the body together. It is the building block for all our bodys major systems and the second most common substance in the body, second only to water in terms of volume. Although abundant in our youth, the bodys natural Collagen production typically slows at a rate of 1.5% per year after the age of 25. As this collagen production slows, the collagen fibres in the body become brittle and begin to break down resulting in a weakening of the skin matrix.

NeoCell Keratin Hair Volumizer is an all-natural hair support solution for strong, lustrous, and thick healthy hair that starts from the inside. Dry, brittle, thinning hair can be associated with a lack of nutrients that are essential to hair. Keratin Hair Volumizer contains clinically researched ingredients to support hair strength and volume.

• Cynatine HNS is a solubilised keratin protein, enabling it to be both bioactive and bio-available in the body, which allows it to bind with the hair
  
• BioActive NeoCell Collagen™ Type 1 & 3 is a rich source of glycine, proline, alanine and hydroxyproline, which are the main components of collagen in the hair.  Research suggests that collagen supplementation supports fibroblasts at the hair root, resulting in thicker, stronger, healthier hair
  
• Amla or Indian Gooseberry has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine for its anti-aging and antioxidant properties and it appears to improve the general condition and shine of hair
  
• Vitamin C is an essential cofactor for collagen synthesis, and supports collagen levels in the hair

NeoCell Hyaluronic Acid Blueberry Liquid formula gives your skin and joints the quenching hydration that they crave and provides antioxidant support.

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is one of natures most water loving molecules and its role in the control of tissue hydration and water transport in the body helps support the appearance of smooth, supple skin, as well as provide lubrication to the joints and eyes.

This unique formula blends Hyaluronic acid with Green Tea Polyphenols (EGCG) to provide antioxidant, liver and metabolic support. Blueberry, Pomegranate, Cranberry, and Elderberry extracts also provide a strong combination of antioxidants to quench damaging free radicals and provide support for the body from the aging effects of these highly reactive molecules.

Hyaluronic Acid benefits:

• Holds 1,000 times its weight in water for cushioning of joints
  
• Assists in cell turnover in the skin
  
• Powerful aid in skin hydration and reducing the appearance of wrinkles
  
• Lubricates the surface of the eye
  

Hyaluronic Acid in the Skin

As we age, the HA content in our bodies naturally decreases. One way this decrease manifests is from UV radiation which breaks down collagen fibers leading to wrinkles and flaccid skin.

Hyaluronidase, an enzyme produced by free radicals, is an enzyme that also breaks down collagen fibers. HA counteracts this enzyme by plumping the inner layers of the epidermis in a more effective way than topical HA application alone; by hydrating the skin from the inside, HA creates a more youthful skin environment, thus reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

Hyaluronic Acid in the Joints

HA is found in high concentrations in areas of the body that endure increased movement and friction. HA’s unique high viscosity properties provide vital shock absorption and lubrication to the joints.

Hyaluronic Acid in the Eyes

As we age and HA production slows, eye problems such as poor vision and dry eyes can manifest. HA is an important constituent of the ocular (related to the eye) tissue and is essential for normal functioning of the eye.

Neocell Glow Matrix - Advanced Skin Hydrator provides scientifically advanced ingredients designed to internally hydrate the skin. It is ideal for individuals who want skin hydration support. Glow Matrix™ supports skin moisture levels, smoothness and elasticity and also supports against premature aging.

The Glow Matrix™ Blend Contains:

Ceramosides Phytoceramosides Extract: Skin naturally contains ceramosides which are specific lipids that form the very outer layer of the skin, thus creating a very stable skin barrier to support moisture retention. A clinical study noted that when taking ceramides at the dosages they used, the body can rebuild the barrier and reduce water loss, therefore, supporting skin hydration. Ceramosides also inhibit collagenase, an enzyme that degrades collagen thus reducing collagen breakdown.

Hyaluronic Acid: ‘Natures moisturiser’ which supports tissue hydration and water transport in the body. When combined with Ceramosides™, Hyaluronic Acid draws moisture deep into the skin and the ceramides limit moisture evaporation.

Coconut Water Powder: Naturally contains an absorbable form of hydrating minerals, and when combined with the activated vitamins it makes for a great multivitamin/mineral blend.

Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA): GLA, (a good omega-6 essential fatty acid) provides support for a healthy cell membrane; supports skin texture; and has been shown to limit skin water loss.

Pine Bark, Lutein, Astaxanthin: Skin specific antioxidants that support the skin from free radical damage.

Natures Way Hydraplenish contains the patented BioCell Collagen II complex (derived from chicken cartilage) for healthy connective tissue and synovial fluid. Hydraplenish has superior bioavailability and a lower molecular weight than other sources of hyaluronic acid.  

• Moisturizes & rejuvenates skin, hair and nails
• Smoothes premature lines/wrinkles 
• Lubricates & cushions joints

Wrinkles be gone!

Ever considered botox or a facelift, but don’t want the toxins or pain involved? Could this be the answer?

Nature’s Way Hydraplenish contains a form of collagen that has a remarkable 70% – 90% absorption rate. Collagen is responsible for the elasticity of the skin. Supplementation may be the missing element needed for maintaining beautiful, healthy youthful skin, especially if your skin is exposed to the ravages of the environment, poor diet, smoking or genetics. Other ingredients in this regenerating formula plump up the skin by helping restore moisture and flexibility. Growth and repair is bolstered with the addition of MSM.

What is hyaluronic acid?

Also known as hyaluron, its a clear fluid found throughout the body — especially in connective tissues of the skin and joints. Hyaluronic acid acts both as an internal moisturizer and lubricant. It moisturizes and rejuvenates skin, smoothes premature lines/wrinkles, as well as lubricates and cushions joints.

Natures Way Hydraplenish is available in two formulas, both with and without MSM:

Hydraplenish Plus MSM contains the patented BioCell Collagen II complex for healthy connective tissue and synovial fluid – plus the nutritional support of OptiMSM. Hydraplenish provides a lower molecular weight hyaluronic acid than other sources giving it superior bioavailability. BioCell Collagen provides collagen - the most abundant protein found in the body along with chondroitin, hyaluronic acid, glucosamine and other proteoglycans essential for the hydration and health of all connective tissues. MSM is a natural sulphur compound with many benefits including connective tissue elasticity and strength plus inflammation and pain modulation.

Why is MSM a good partner to take with hyaluronic acid?

MSM is a source of sulfur, which is another major component of connective tissues. MSM and hyaluronic acid have complimentary benefits for healthy skin and joints, which is why Hydraplenish is available in a formula with MSM. Another helpful supplement to take with hyaluronic acid is silicic acid from silica.

Doctors Best High Potency Serrapeptase supports and maintains healthy sinus and airway function as well as a healthy immune response.
