Anti-Ageing Supplements

Anti-Ageing Supplements that Turn Back the Clock

The key to ageing well is to keep your cells strong and healthy. A positive outlook on life, minimal stress, a varied organic diet and regular exercise will stand you in very good stead and you truly can do no better than that. If you are struggling however to stay in balance, and are looking for some natural supplementation to help keep your cells strong so that you can age in optimal balance and no faster, look no further than these top 8 anti-ageing supplements.


Viridian NAC+

R312

N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is an amino acid with powerful antioxidant properties. Viridian NAC+ gives you all the benefits of this health-giving compound, plus the added benefits of L-glutamine, chromium and cinnamon extract.  As we age our bodies become far less equipped to slow the process of ageing, because of the severe decline in production of certain key antioxidants, such as NAC and glutathione. NAC helps to rid the body of free radicals, and much of glutathione’s ability to improve your longevity and overall health comes from its role in detoxifying various chemicals, thereby preventing them from damaging your cellular DNA and causing neurodegenerative diseases. Together these compounds help to combat ageing and diseases caused by free radical damage.


Vibrant Health Super Natural Vitamin C

R320

A truly natural vitamin C complex will be rich in polyphenols, which are some of the most powerful antioxidants known. Real vitamin C inhibits collagenase, which is the loss of collagen as we age. It has been proven that those with a diet rich in vitamin C had fewer wrinkles and less age-related dry skin, because the vitamin helps so much with tissue repair. We have chosen this particular supplement because we believe it is the best supplement on the market when it comes to providing you with a real source of Vit C. Vibrant Health’s Super Natural C takes advantage of recent developments in botanical research and development to combine high ORAC value plant extracts with natural vitamin C from Acerola berry and Camu-camu extracts. The result is a 100% natural vitamin C from plant sources.


The Real Thing Chlorella Tablets

R179

Chlorella is believed to be one of the greatest anti-ageing foods on planet Earth! It is a complete food that contains high amounts of chlorophyll, amino acids, large amounts of protein, a multitude of minerals, vitamin C, vitamin E, all of the B vitamins, carbohydrates, vitamin A (including beta carotene) and more vitamin B12 than any form of meat on this planet. And best of all, it contains three times more of the antioxidant chlorophyll per weight than any other known plant. That mans fewer free radicals which means less tissue damage from ageing. Also the chlorella growth factor helps promote cell growth and tissue repair.


Viridian Organic Turmeric Capsules

From R120

Turmeric possesses various biological properties that can aid in dealing with signs of ageing. Full of skin-loving compounds – including a peptide and curcuminoids – studies show that turmeric can help keep your skin beautiful, healthy, and youthful. Curcumin is known to treat conditions of oxidative stress (imbalance between pro-oxidants and antioxidants). It raises the level of antioxidant enzymes, scavenges free radicals that cause oxidative stress and inhibits lipid peroxidation (oxidation of fats present in cell membrane leading to cell death). As a result, turmeric may actually be able to reverse some of the signs of ageing like sagging skin and sun spots.


Mineralife Selenium

R379

Keep your skin radiant and your system healthy the natural way, with Mineralife’s liquid selenium supplement; a small daily dose is all you need to prevent free radical damage, keeping your complexion looking clear, healthy and youthful. In particular, selenium delays skin ageing by protecting its quality and elasticity. It also helps to safeguard your skin from sun damage. Selenium is the key to all-round radiant health and beauty, protecting the skin against free radical damage and preventing premature signs of ageing due its abundance of antioxidants. We have chosen this particular supplement, as the liquid selenium supplement from Mineralife is designed to give your skin all the benefits of selenium in a way that can be easily absorbed and put to use; much quicker than taking tablets or capsules.


BioLife CoQ10 100mg Capsules

R109

Co-Enzyme Q10 (also called Ubiquinone) is a naturally occurring substance similar to a vitamin; it is synthesised in the liver and is essential for the normal functioning of your body’s cells. Ageing, an imbalanced diet and certain medications can cause your CoQ10 levels to drop, which can lead to conditions like high blood pressure, angina, heart problems, low energy and a lowered immune system. CoQ10 is a very powerful antioxidant and it aids the blood circulation in the body, increases oxygen within the tissues of the body, and it strengthens the immune system all of which go a long way in keeping your cells healthy and young.


Viridian Ultimate Beauty Skin Hydration

R510

Start feeling great in the skin you’re in! This natural supplement from Viridian nourishes and hydrates your skin from the inside out, giving you a moisture boost that helps to fill out those fine lines and other troublesome signs of ageing. With grapeseed and pine extracts, hyaluronic acid, alpha lipoic acid and patented ceramide-rich Lipowheat™, the formula works to plump and rejuvenate tired or dull skin. Lipowheat is a rich source of botanical ceramides, which prevent the loss of skin moisture and promote a youthful glow. Due to the lipids it contains, it also improves the skin’s barrier function, helping to seal in hydration. Grapeseed extract contains flavonoids that work to boost your skin’s collagen structure, keeping it youthful and supple, while pine bark extract slows skin ageing and improves hydration. This formula also contains Hyaluronic Acid, known as “nature’s moisturiser”, which improves elasticity and hydrates and plumps the skin & lips and Alpha Lipoic Acid, a great antioxidant that combats free radical damage.


The Real Thing Mega Omega Fish Oil Liquid

R128

What if one supplement could improve your health and your looks, and lower anxiety? It sounds too good to be true, but taking omega-3 supplements – nature’s anti-inflammatory – may do just that. Many recent studies have shown that upping your fish oil intake significantly reduces inflammation, which is behind many chronic, age-related diseases and anxiety. Fish Oil or Omega 3 Fish Oil is very popular due to its high concentration of omega 3 fatty acids. Due to its anti-inflammatory properties, omega 3 fish oil can help prevent skin ageing through unregulated destruction of the foundation of the skin, which leads to fine lines, wrinkles and dull and sagging skin. Stress is also a key precursor to ageing faster than your body was designed to, and studies show over and over again that a diet rich in omega 3’s help with maintaining a positive relaxed outlook in life.

      Argan oil has done wonders to my eczema scalp, upper back and legs. I tried coconut oil but it only leaves my skin itchy. I make sure I apply a body butter first and then I rub in a few drops of argan over it and massageit in. If you use it alone, you’re just wasting the oil and body butter is still useful in locking the moisture in. I’m currently obsessed with a solo us rose body butter. It’s surspeisingly lightweight for the name but it is very moisture here! I also pat on only 1 drop or argan all over my face too now without Producing any whiteheads which says a lot about how good the oil is for me. In fact my facial skin appears finer now and my upper back scars are slowly fading, finally! I’ve tried many body butters on on its own including the Egyptian magic balm and nothing seemed to help my flakiness but argan oil is just magic. It can be quite expensive but I think still wayyy cheaper than some products I’ve tried on the market. It almost has no smell and the oil consistency feels quite oily and emollient when you run into the skin which feels different than other oils I’ve tried. But give it 20mins and it will be fully absorbed. Just make sure the argan oil you buy is 100% pure. Good luck!
