The skin is your body’s largest and fastest growing organ, a vital layer of protection from the elements. There are three primary layers to the skin: 

• Epidermis. This is the top layer of your skin, the one you see, and it is responsible for making new skin cells, giving the skin its color, and protecting your body.
• Dermis. The dermis is the second, and thickest, layer of skin, and performs many functions, including producing oil to maintain skin’s moisture, producing sweat, and circulating blood to your skin. The capillaries of the circulatory system that nourish your skin with nutrient-rich blood pass through the dermis. The dermis also contains many of the nerve endings that help you feel.
• Subcutis. This is the innermost layer of the skin. It anchors the dermis to your muscles, cushions your body, provides nutrients to the dermis, and controls your body’s temperature.

So much of your body’s own care for your skin happens beneath or within the skin. This makes supplements that actually support cellular health and production an important addition to your skin care regimen. 

Part of what makes Isotonix products so beneficial to skin health - and overall health - is the fact that our dietary supplements use an advanced isotonic delivery system to ensure you receive the maximum benefit of nutrients. Isotonic, or “same pressure”, refers to a solution that bears the same chemical resemblance as the body’s blood, plasma, and tears.* 

All fluid in the body shares a common osmotic pressure, which is essential to the consistent maintenance of bodily tissues. In order for a substance to be absorbed by the body, it must be converted into an isotonic state, a process that requires a measure of energy on the part of the body. When a substance is already isotonic, it is more readily absorbed. 

When mixed with water, Isotonix dietary supplements are isotonic; they are delivered into the body in a solution that is consistent with the body’s osmotic pressure, making the absorption of nutrients highly efficient while delivering maximum results. Below are several of our isotonic supplements specially formulated for skin health.*

As one of the most powerful antioxidant supplements on the market today, Isotonix OPC-3® provides a myriad of health benefits. In addition to complete antioxidant protection, and supporting cardiovascular health, several key ingredients in OPC-3® also promote skin health by supporting a healthy complexion.*

Much like OPC-3, the Isotonix OPC-3 Beauty Blend is a powerful antioxidant supplement that combines some of nature’s best free radical scavengers to help promote skin health. Our Beauty Blend is specially formulated to help maintain the appearance of healthy, beautiful skin from the inside out, promoting skin health on a cellular level.* 

OPC-3 Beauty Blend helps maintain microcirculation of the capillaries in the skin to support its oxygen and nutrient supply. This product plays a role in maintaining the elasticity of capillaries in the dermis, which helps maintain a healthy blood flow that minimizes the appearance of spider veins. By replenishing the skin’s essential vitamins and minerals, OPC-3 Beauty Blend actually promotes cellular health in the skin. Our Beauty Blend may also promote healing of minor skin injuries, support the skin’s natural defenses against the environment, and promote healthy skin. The anti-inflammatory properties of OPC-3 Beauty Blend also assist in minimizing the appearance of redness and swelling.* 

OPC-3 Beauty Blend also helps maintain healthy collagen production and skin elasticity. Furthermore, it supports a smooth, soft, and even toned complexion. Our Beauty Blend even helps your skin maintain a normal moisture balance. Skin moisture is an important part of overall skin health, and contributes to a vibrant tone and smooth feeling.* 

In addition to the antioxidant properties of OPC-3 Beauty Blend, several key ingredients also are beneficial for skin health.*

These include: 

• Grape Seed Extract. The grape seed extract found in OPC-3 Beauty Blend is taken from the seeds of red grapes, which contain a high concentration of oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs).
• Pycnogenol®. As one of the most researched ingredients in the natural product marketplace, Pycnogenol is one of nature’s most powerful antioxidants. Pycnogenol is a natural plant extract derived from the bark of the maritime pine tree, which is found only along the coast of southwest France. Pycnogenol benefitsrange far and wide, from maintaining joint flexibility to promoting healthy skin. Pycnogenol supports skin health because it is able to selectively bind to collagen and elastin, and promotes a healthy complexion.*
• Citrus Extract. Citrus extract contains bioflavonoids, which are antioxidants found in some plants that filter light and absorb ultraviolet radiation.*

OPC-3 Beauty Blend also contains other ingredients like red wine and bilberry extracts to promote healthy blood circulation, which is important to replenishing the skin’s nutrients.*

Then there are a few ingredients in OPC-3 Beauty Blend that are not found in standard OPC-3. These ingredients enhance the skin health benefits of the Beauty Blend. Vitamin C, for instance, is itself a strong antioxidant, but it also promotes the normal synthesis of collagen and supports normal, minor healing. The Isotonix Vitamin C supplement provides this, and even more of the immune benefits of vitamin C. OPC-3 Beauty Blend also contains vitamin E, which supports normal healing and protects cells from the impact of free radicals. Hyaluronic acid, which is found in the Beauty Blend version of OPC-3, is a compound that is found in the skin cells and cartilage, and promotes healthy cell proliferation. The presence of hyaluronic acid in OPC-3 Beauty Blend may also promote normal healing.*

The Isotonix® Multivitamin contains 100% or more of the Recommended Daily Value of essential vitamins and minerals, providing support for a strong immune system and supplementing dietary deficiencies.* Several of the nutrients found in our Multivitamin are essential to skin health, including:

• Niacin, or Vitamin B3,
• Riboflavin 5-Phosphate, or Vitamin B2,
• Vitamin D3, which promotes the healthy growth and repair of tissues,*
• Silicon, a component of the skin,
• Zinc, which, because of its role in so many enzymatic processes, has been found to support collagen synthesis and cellular repair*, and
• Iron Phosphate, which promotes normal collagen formation.* 

Over the years, wear and tear on skin, hair, bone and joints become more prevalent. Ultimately, this wear and tear can result in dry and wrinkled skin, joint aches, and weakened bones. Our bodies depend on their natural collagen production to maintain skin elasticity and provide structural support in connective tissue and muscles and joints. However, as we age, the production of this vital protein begins to slow down—supplementing with collagen may help this issue. Pure Collagen+ offers a comprehensive collagen formula hydrolyzed into small bioactive peptides that support healthy collagen production throughout the body. *Often referred to as a “complex protein,” collagen contains a plethora of different amino acids, including hydroxyproline, which does not occur in other proteins, and is found everywhere in the body. Studies show that it is one of the most plentiful proteins in mammals as it is responsible for several biological functions. Because collagen is a unique type of protein accounting for as much as 30% of the body’s total protein, it is an essential component of our dietary regimen. Pure Collagen+ is especially unique because it offers 10 grams of hydrolyzed collagen, which is generous compared to other collagen products. *It is often assumed that collagen supplements can only benefit women versus men due to their association with beauty products, especially those offering lifting and firming benefits. While it is true that collagen is a great skin health supplement, this does not limit it to a specific gender; collagen’s powerful skin, bone and joint benefits are essential to both women and men’s health. As a matter of fact, studies show that daily use of collagen supplement may help maintain muscle strength, an important benefit to everyone. Pure Collagen+ makes for an easy on-the-go supplement due to its nifty packaging in small vials, convenient for both travel and work.*
