When we first notice problem skin (aka wrinkles, fine lines or acne), we likely speed over to the nearest drugstore to stock up on concealers or anti-aging cream.
But while it’s true there are plenty of quality products out there, you might not realize that some creams and moisturizers contain ingredients which could actually harm your skin. Yikes! Furthermore, our stress levels, sleep and dietary choices play an even greater role in aging well than the skincare products we apply on a daily basis. So, what can be done to remedy poor sleep habits and an unhealthy diet? Don’t despair! While you should always try to prioritize self-care, a good vitamin regime can go a long way in boosting a youthful glow. And according to Trista Best, a registered dietian at Balance One Supplements, some supplements are much better than others when it comes to fighting wrinkles and plumping up your skin.
Keep reading for her take on one of the best anti-aging supplements you should be taking every morning.
Ginseng
Ginseng seems to be everywhere recently, but it's by no means a new ingredient. This superfood has been around for a long time! In root form, ginseng contains high levels of vitamins and minerals, and can even be a source of antioxidants, which help prevent and repair cellular damage in the body.
As Trista explains, "ginseng is well-known for its energy increasing side effects, but the anti-aging benefits shouldn't go unnoticed. Ginseng has been found to increase the body's natural collagen production. It also has a secondary effect of helping to prevent further damage by blocking the sun's UVB rays. The antioxidant properties found in ginseng further increase its anti-aging impact by keeping healthy cells strong and protected against free radical damage and toxins."
There are plenty of ginseng supplements on the market that are worth your time, but Nature's Bounty might be the best budget-friendly option out there. Each two-pill serving of ginseng complex from Nature's Bounty offers 300mg of Panax ginseng extract, 50mg American ginseng extract and 50mg of Chinese red ginseng extract. When combined, these herbs help to boost the user's immune system and improve energy levels. So in addition to giving you a healthy glow, Nature's Bounty Ginseng Complex works to make you feel good, starting from the inside out.
If Nature's Bounty isn't your thing, you also can't go wrong with NutraChamps Korean Red Panax Ginseng. With Panax ginseng for supplements, this gives users a natural energy boost, so you can skip the caffeine jitters for a healthier herbal remedy that still keeps you feeling energized throughout your 9-5. The extra-strength formula is packaged in vegan-friendly capsules, each containing 1650mg of Panax ginseng root powder.
The bottom line? Not only will ginseng supplements boost your energy levels and prepare you to take on the day, but their antioxidant properties make them incredibly useful in the fight against wrinkles. Do yourself a favor and pick up your preferred brand today.
