Healthy, firm and resilient skin is supported not only from the outside by skincare products, but also from within through nutrition. Certain nutrients have an established role in collagen formation, cell protection and the skin's overall structure. Below, we answer the most frequently asked questions.
Which nutrients are particularly relevant for skin quality?
Several vitamins and minerals make an established contribution to normal skin:
-
Collagen peptides
Collagen is a central structural protein in connective tissue. The body's own production naturally decreases with age. → Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides -
Vitamin C
Contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of the skin. -
Zinc & copper
Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal skin, hair and nails. Copper contributes to normal pigmentation. → Vital Proteins Beauty Antioxidant Collagen -
Hyaluronic acid
A natural component of connective tissue that contributes to moisture retention. -
Plant-based protein
Provides important amino acids as building blocks for daily protein requirements. → Bunaroba Organic Protein Powder
Why is dosage important?
Not every amount of a nutrient automatically provides a benefit. In Switzerland, health claims relating to vitamins and minerals may only be made if a daily serving reaches a specified proportion of the nutrient reference value (NRV). It is advisable to follow the daily dose stated on the packaging. Do not exceed the recommended intake.
Can food supplements support recovery after cosmetic treatments?
After treatments such as Profhilo®, which aim to stimulate the body's own collagen and hyaluronic acid production, a balanced nutrient intake can complement the skin's natural processes in a meaningful way. A targeted intake of collagen peptides, vitamin C, zinc and hyaluronic acid fits thematically within a routine focused on maintaining skin quality.
Do food supplements replace a healthy diet?
No. Food supplements are not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. They can be a useful addition when the daily diet does not provide certain nutrients in sufficient quantities.
What is the easiest way to incorporate these nutrients into everyday life?
Powdered supplements can be easily stirred into coffee, tea, smoothies or food. Regular daily intake over a longer period is important, as effects on skin quality only become apparent over time.
