Japan’s Secret to VIBRANT Youthful Skin
Money doesn’t go as far these days as it used to.
That’s why I’m always happy to find a good two-for-one deal.
Today’s bargain is the BEST kind of two-for-one:
TWO impressive health benefits for your heart AND skin… in ONE powerful nutrient.
Coenzyme Q10, or CoQ10, is usually marketed for its heart-health benefits. This potent nutrient can dial down your risk of heart disease and high blood pressure.
But it turns out it can do wonders for your skin as well.
Free radicals are unstable atoms that damage our…
- collagen,
- elastin,
- and DNA.
And this cell damage (or oxidation) leads to visible skin aging.
These misbehaving molecules are behind the wrinkles, dryness, and sagging we hate seeing in the mirror.
But CoQ10 is an antioxidant that can neutralize skin-damaging free radicals.
In fact, CoQ10 is already a popular anti-aging skincare product in Japan.
Studies show that topical CoQ10 helps support healthy skin by increasing antioxidant capacity and reducing free radicals.
Research shows supplementing daily with CoQ10 can lead to fewer fine lines and wrinkles.
And this powerful antioxidant is ALSO a good team player. It helps boost the effectiveness of retinol, green tea, and vitamin C—three additional ingredients which protect the skin and promote collagen production.
The best sources of CoQ10 are organ meats, fatty fish, beef, nuts, and seeds.
If you choose to take a CoQ10 supplement, you can be sure it’s money well spent because it will help you look and feel younger and healthier.
P.S. When you start to look old, you begin to feel old, too. Try this 3-Step plan to RESTORE youthful collagen levels.
