Skin & Hair
Nourish skin, strengthen hair, and fight oxidative damage
Skin and hair health rely on lycopene for UV protection, vitamin E for skin cell membrane protection, beta-carotene for skin pigmentation and repair, vitamin C for collagen synthesis, and zinc for wound healing and hair follicle integrity.
Why This Matters
The skin is the body's largest organ and one of the first to show nutritional deficiencies. Collagen production declines 1% per year after age 20 — vitamin C is essential for collagen synthesis.
