Zinc and Selenium: Key minerals for immunity, thyroid health and beauty

Zinc and selenium together contribute to supporting many important functions in the body. Zinc is essential for the normal metabolism of acids and bases, carbohydrates, macronutrients and fatty acids, and also supports the synthesis of proteins and DNA and contributes to the normal function of the immune system. Selenium supports the proper functioning of the thyroid gland, the immune system and the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Together, they help maintain healthy hair, nails, skin and vision.

Comprehensive support with vitamin C for tissue health and immunity

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect cells from oxidative stress, which is one of the biggest causes of wrinkles, hair breakage and brittle nails. In combination with chitosan, it helps to support the immune system and contributes to normal collagen formation, which is important for the proper function of blood vessels, bones, cartilage, gums, skin and teeth.

Normal LDL cholesterol levels

This study showed that chitosan supplementation led to a normal LDL cholesterol concentration in the blood⁷. LDL cholesterol ensures the transport of vital cholesterol to the cells in the body. It is wrongly nicknamed "bad cholesterol" because during transport, due to the poor health of the individual, it can oxidize in the blood vessels and negatively affect cardiovascular health. The best prevention of these problems is to ensure sufficient intake of OMEGA-3. Proper cholesterol levels are very important, as they are part of the skin barrier and hair follicles.

Silicon - the key to youthful skin?

Colloidal silicon has been shown to improve skin thickness and elasticity, wrinkles, hair thickness and nail quality³. Both in vitro and in vivo studies show that silicon, as an essential element for our body, exhibits beneficial properties for the structural integrity of nails, hair and skin, as well as for collagen synthesis and bone mineralization⁴.

A composition thought out to the last detail

The entire complex was the subject of investigation in a randomized, double-blind study^2,9 in which it was administered to 29 women aged 40-70. After 12 weeks, scientists noted significant improvements in skin density, hydration, firmness and elasticity. Wrinkle reduction and smoother skin were observed in the participants. Chitosan is often referred to as dietary fiber. It has the unique ability to bind fats and cholesterol in the intestines. It is often the subject of studies investigating its effect on weight loss⁶. The complex also includes silicon dioxide, which helps in the formation and absorption of collagen.

Why do we have wrinkles?

With age, the reserves of silicon  and the production of collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), which form the basic building blocks for skin hydration and firmness, naturally decrease. The activity of enzymes that degrade collagen and elastin increases with age, leading to a decrease in skin thickness, loss of hydration and elasticity. These changes are manifested by the appearance of fine and deep wrinkles, loss of firmness and elasticity, dryness of the skin or thinning of its layers. External factors such as UV radiation, smoking, stress, air pollution and the use of aggressive cosmetics further accelerate this process and damage skin cells.
