I am a huge believer in the benefits of taking 'beauty supplements.' Like I have stated before, true beauty starts from within. You can use every anti-aging product on the market, but if you aren't taking care of your skin from the inside, then it won't make too much of a difference.
I have been taking NeoCell supplements for a few years now, and they have really made a difference in the condition of my skin. I am always told that I look a lot younger than my actual age.
I am currently taking two of NeoCell's top selling products to keep my skin looking as youthful as possible. They are as follows: Super Ceramides Skin Hydrator capsules and Neocell Super Collagen Powder.
Super Ceramides is a nutricosmetic solution scientifically formulated for healthy skin hydration. This unique blend of beauty-enhancing nutrients promotes skin hydration, elasticity and cellular turnover for glowing, supple skin. The star ingredient of this formula is rapid action ceramides. Ceramides are plant-based lipids clinically shown to increase moisture and elasticity in just 15 days. Additional beauty-enhancing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, pine bark, astaxanthin, lutein and coconut water make this the ultimate skin hydration supplement. Super Ceramides works synergistically with NeoCell's Super Collagen C formula. As with all NeoCell products, Super Ceramides is both non-GMO and gluten free. I take two of these capsules daily with a meal. Since using this product, my skin has been so supple and dewey.
NeoCell Super Collagen has been clinically shown to increase skin hydration by 21%. NeoCell Super Collagen is a multiple award winning product: 2012 Better Nutrition-"Best of Natural Beauty" award 2012 Better Nutrition- "Best Supplement" award 2014- Better Nutrition "Best of Supplements/ Anti-aging Category" 2015 NEXTY AWARD 2015- Whole Foods Magazine "Best Bone/ Joint Supplement".

Supplementing with collagen acts as a messenger to trigger the synthesis of new collagen fibers. Super Collagen is derived from Non-GMO Bovine collagen. Super collagen is enzymatically hydrolyzed, providing a collagen amino acid ration with a low molecular weight for maximum bioavailability. Persons taking Super Collagen will experience a 90% absorption rate into the blood stream where cellular changes occur. GMO Free Grass Fed Bovine Soy Free Gluten Free.
When I need nutritional supplements, I trust Jarrow Formulas to have the highest quality of products available to meet my family's nutritional needs.
Jarrow Formulas' mission is reflected in its motto 'Superior Nutrition and Formulation". Jarrow Formulas' complete line of nutritional products includes vitamins, minerals, probiotics, standardized herbal concentrates, amino acids, enzymes and enteral nutrition products. Both retailers and consumers are assured of purity, value and potency when choosing these products.
I was given the chance to review a few of Jarrow Formulas' supplements for my self and my family, and I chose the following: Women's FemDophilus, Chromium GTF, Type II Collagen, and Yum-Yum PS100 Gummies.
Women's FemDophilus Women's FemDophilus: Fem-Dophilus® contains two patented and clinically documented probiotic strains, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, GR-1®and Lactobacillus reuteri, RC-14®, discovered and developed by Dr. Gregor Reid and Dr. Andrew Bruce at Urex Biotech. Over 25 years of research supports the oral use of GR-1® and RC-14® to colonize and promote vaginal and urinary tract health. A special manufacturing process protects the probiotic strains in Fem-Dophilus® from stomach acid and enhances probiotic bacterial survival to the lower intestine.
I am taking these supplements daily to ward off my frequent bladder infections. I have been taking them for about 15 days now, and I haven't had any sign of any urinary tract problems, so hopefully those are a thing of the past.
Chromium GTF: ChromiumGTF is a complex known as Glucose Tolerance Factor and is made by fermenting nutritional yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) with chromium. Chromium GTF facilitates the transport of glucose into cells by insulin.
I requested these Chromium GTF samples for my father, who is pre-diabetic. He takes one capsule every day to help keep his diabetes under control.
Type II Collagen Complex: BioCell Collagen® is a low molecular weight, water-solubleglycosaminoglycan complex completely derived from chicken sternum cartilage. BioCell Collagen® has clinically documented bioavailability, and has been shown to support joint health and skin hydration.
I take these collagen supplements to help keep my skin looking young. It really works to keep wrinkles away.
Jarrow Formulas® Yum-Yum PS100 Gummies: These delicious gummies deliver 100 mg phosphatidylserine per serving in a delicious gummy.Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a natural phospholipid that is an essential component of cell membranes. PS promotes brain function by helping to maintain neuronal membrane fluidity to support cell-to-cell communication, which is essential for cognition, mental performance, attentiveness and reaction time. PS may be beneficial during stress because it can modulate the release of cortisol, a catabolic stress hormone.
I give two of these tasty gummies each day to my son, Braxton who is 9 years old. These supplements help him to stay focused and on task in school. I have noticed that he is much calmer when he takes these. They are almost a miracle for him!

PURE GOLD COLLAGEN makes dry skin vanish, since it is hydrating the body from the inside. My fine lines are all plumped out, and I have a new radiance.

Other anti-aging products may seem to good to be true because they are. No other skin care system today delivers the science and medical results like Novo Solutions MD®.
I was sent samples of Novo Solutions MD products to review. I received the Novo Cellactive Face Serum, the Novo Advanced Eye Serum and the NovoScar MD Scar Cream.
This supercharged anti-aging serum protects and regenerates cells, tackles deep wrinkles and lines, tightens, smooths, and restores your skin’s elasticity, inspiring a youthful, radiant NovoGlow™. 83% Experienced an Increase in Elasticity and Firmness. 73% Saw a Decrease in Wrinkles.
My Experience: I have been using this product for about two weeks now. I apply it all over my face, neck and chest area after I wash my face at night. It is probably the best anti-aging product I have tried so far. My skin is luminous, young and perfectly wrinkle free. Any lines that were beginning to appear are nowhere to be seen on my face! My skin is definitely firmer. I am incredibly excited that I am using a product that has been clinically and medically proven to work!
A powerful multi-active formula with Novo Serum™ reduces dark circles, puffiness, lines, and wrinkles. Rich botanicals, combined with breakthrough science reduce uneven texture while increasing firmness and elasticity, promoting a fresh, healthy, radiant appearance. 79% Saw a Dramatic Decrease in Under Eye Puffiness.
My Experience: I have been applying this wonderful serum under my eyes for two weeks now. I do not have wrinkles under my eyes at this time of my life, but I do experience puffiness and circles from time to time. I love how this serum completely takes away the puffiness within minutes of application and greatly reduces my under eye circles.
NovoScarMD™ with NovoSerum® is the most scientifically advanced scar cream on the market today. It reverses existing and new scar damage, and stretch marks, and rapidly returns skin to its original state with almost no trace of skin injury. NovoScarMD™ duplicates nature’s process for healing resulting in restored skin elasticity and the return of scar tissue and keloids to nearly normal physiological plasticity and color.
My Experience: I never thought I could get rid of the stretch marks that I had on my inner thighs (which I received from my first pregnancy- jumping from 120 lbs to 150 lbs in four months.) But after applying this miraculous stretch mark cream for only two weeks, I am amazed that my stretch marks have significantly faded! They are much less visible. I wish I had a before and after photo to show. (But I am much too vain to take pictures of certain body parts, I am sorry to say.) I can't wait until they are completely gone!
I am really loving what Novo Solutions MD is doing for my skin!
Fine lines, wrinkles and age spots are a part of growing older. One thing we can choose is how we deal with them. There are many skin care products out there on the market, but how do we know which ones are the most effective in treating our wrinkles? Many skin care companies claim that their ingredients work, but they do not get rid of the wrinkles completely.
ProDermagenix Anti-Aging Serum is effective and different from other anti aging skin care products.
How is Pro Dermagenix different from other wrinkle creams?
The ingredients of ProDermagenix skincare serum aids in pulling skin tighter by increasing the natural skin protein called Collagen. Collagen is a natural protein in the body which keeps your skin tight, toned & smooth. As we grow older, less collagen is produced naturally by the body. Wrinkles begins to appear and the skin becomes thinner. Skin tissue receives less support which results in fine lines & wrinkles.
One of the major benefits of ProDermagenix is that it absorbs into the deeper layers of skin and helps reduce the signs of aging, crow’s feet, wrinkles & fine lines. It reduces skin roughness and boosts collagen production. Pro Dermagenix hydrates the skin and makes it softer, more flexible and smoother. It also protects your skin from harmful sun rays.
My Experience: I have been using ProDermagenix Anti Aging Serum for two weeks now. After cleansing, I apply it all over my face, neck and chest area. It completely absorbs in to my skin leaving zero greasy residue. My face feels soft and radiant. Every fine line and wrinkle I had is so much less noticeable. My skin looks so very young and fresh. ProDermagenix Anti Aging Serum is definitely one of the best anti-aging serums I have ever used.
Why do our bodies need Omega-3 supplements?
Omega-3 fatty acids are dietary fats that can help protect your heart by reducing blood triglycerides (a type of fat that, when elevated, is bad for your cardiovascular system), by helping to keep your heart's rhythm regular, and by keeping your blood pressure normal.
Omega-3 fatty acids are also crucial for brain and eye development in fetuses and newborns, so women need to get adequate amounts when they're pregnant and during the first few months of breastfeeding. They have also been studied for their effects on your nervous system, and they may also help relieve the discomfort of dry eyes and dry skin. Some experts believe omega-3 fatty acids may fight aging by affecting the DNA in the cells of your body.
Why is PhosphOmega better than other fish oil supplements?
PhosphOmega® is a complex of phospholipids and the essential omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, 40% of which are supplied bound to phospholipids for greater bioavailability. The product is derived from North Sea sand eel (Ammodytes Tobianus) after the oil that is not phospholipid bound has been pressed out. The fish are caught in the pristine waters of the North Sea and The International Fish Meal and Fish Oil Organization has granted our supplier a Certificate of Responsible Fishing, indicating that the fish were caught according to the “global standard for responsible supply.” PhosphOmega has undergone extensive testing for toxins like heavy metals and PCBs. For each compound, PhosphOmega contains lower amounts than the minimal standards set by the two governing bodies: the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) and Global Organization for EPA and DHA omega-3s (GOED).
may also increase the stability of the phospholipid complex in PhosphOmega, ensuring purity and freshness throughout the product life cycle.
I have been taking PhosphOmega for over a month now. I feel confident in knowing that I am taking a supplement that I can be certain is being absorbed properly into my system. Another important factor for me is that PhosphOmega does not have that disgusting fishy after taste that many other fish oil supplements have.
