How To Select the Best Skin Care Supplements

When it comes to turning back the clock and helping your skin be as bright, youthful, and radiant as possible, it’s not all about skin care products that you apply topically. Skin care supplements also have a very important part to play, especially if you know what ingredients to look for before you make your purchase. 

MiamiMD has designed a skin care supplement after doing an abundance of research, and we’d like to share what we’ve learned!

Key Ingredients To Look For In A Skin Care Supplement

There are endless skin care supplements on the market with plenty of different ingredients that are said to have many unique benefits. But, unfortunately, you can’t always believe what you read. 

In an effort to combat marketing with science, we broke down the main ingredients that we include in our own skin care supplement, as well as how they work. Our supplement is filled with scientifically-correct dosages of key ingredients that the skin needs to look young. Let’s dive in!

Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptide

Collagen is the glue that holds the body together. There is so much of it in the body that it actually makes up 75% of the skin’s “dry weight.” It provides volume as well, giving the skin much of its plumpness while also keeping fine lines at bay as long as possible. 

However, the older we get, the more collagen we lose, as the body’s natural collagen production ability lags behind how quickly it naturally breaks down. In fact, starting in our mid-20s, we experience collagen loss of around 1% every year. When we reach menopause, it’s possible to lose up to 30% in around five years. 

Collagen is made out of three important amino acids: glycine, hydroxyproline, and proline. 

When it comes to ingestible collagen, there are a few different options, however hydrolyzed collagen peptides are one of the only types of collagen that women should actually consider taking because they are not easily dissolved in the stomach. 

The hydrolyzed part of hydrolyzed collagen peptide refers to the process of hydrolysis. During the process of hydrolysis, water is used to break down protein bonds. As the protein bonds are broken down, the chemical compound (in this case, collagen) becomes smaller and more easily absorbed. 

That is part of what makes hydrolyzed collagen peptide so great — it can get to work starting to help replace lost collagen.

Saw Palmetto

Saw palmetto, also known as cabbage palm, is a shrub-like palm that is native to the southeastern portion of the United States. 

Our skin care supplement contains a rare form of saw palmetto that studies have shown can reduce the levels of an aging hormone known as DHT, possibly up to 32%! DHT is short for dihydrotestosterone. It is known as an androgen, meaning it relates more to typically “male” sex charactistics like body hair. Ironically, DHT is also thought to be one of the main components in hair loss, in women just as much as in men. 

When you are able to reduce the level of DHT in the body, it may also promote increased levels of estrogen, and increased estrogen can also translate into increased collagen production. That makes saw palmetto kind of a “catalyst” ingredient, starting a chain reaction that can help to promote plumper, younger-looking skin.

Lysine

Lysine is an essential ingredient in any skin care supplement because it can help to build up even more collagen in the skin. This is amazing for both elasticity and firmness, which gives your skin the ability to bounce back and decreases the possibility of the formation of wrinkles.

Lysine is a basic amino acid that is also an essential component of most proteins. It also plays a role in the crosslinking of collagen polypeptides, meaning that it helps create both stability and tensile strength in each collagen molecule. 

So, while the other ingredients can help physically make more collagen, lysine works to make it stronger. 

Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid)

Vitamin C is often referred to as a “holy grail” ingredient because it has so many amazing benefits. 

The vitamin really works to help the skin help itself. With an adequate amount of vitamin C in the body, skin’s ability to produce collagen is supported. Although the skin is able to regenerate on its own roughly every 27 days, vitamin C helps the skin be more prepared to help naturally repair its own cells.  

Part of how it does this is due to vitamin C’s ability to carry oxygen through the body. While oxygen is essential to so many different body functions, it is also an important part of collagen production. Without oxygen to help both make and organize developing collagen, production would stop.

Vitamin C is also important for things like immune function and your body’s natural healing ability, so taking a supplement that contains it is good for so much more than just your hair, skin, and nails!

Each capsule has 100mg of the purest grade, naturally sourced vitamin C. This amount can help to accelerate the collagen synthesis process, which helps to maintain youthful looking skin year after year. And, the fact that it is naturally sourced means that you don’t have to worry about what you’re putting in your body. 

Biotin

Each capsule of Total Beauty Matrix contains 5mg of biotin, too! While that may not seem like a lot, biotin is an incredibly small but mighty vitamin, and a little goes a long way. Biotin is one of the 12 B vitamins — B7. It is considered water-soluble, meaning that is easily absorbed in water. 

One of biotin’s best qualities is its ability to help bring tired, dull complexions back to life. As one of the most common complaints about aging skin is how quickly skin tends to lose its natural radiance, including biotin in any skin care supplement is a no-brainer. Once you regain that youthful glow, you’ll wonder why you didn’t start sooner!

In addition, biotin can also hydrate and nourish the skin, making it look even more healthy and alive. It produces fatty acids in the body, which can help to replenish skin’s natural oils. A damaged moisture barrier can lead to all kinds of problems, as dehydrated skin is more prone to the development of wrinkles and fine lines as well as skin that loses its resiliency.

Proprietary Mineral Complex

200mg of each Total Beauty Matrix supplement is our proprietary mineral complex. We specially designed our proprietary mineral complex so that it contains the finest natural skincare minerals on earth. Each of these minerals can help to rebuild skin health from the inside out, while also helping to protect your newly formed connective tissue.
