Healthy Skin

Viva Saudável's Healthy Skin collection brings together supplements with nutrients that have authorized claims related to skin — biotin, zinc, vitamin C, vitamin A, riboflavin, and niacin — in addition to formulas with hydrolyzed collagen, hyaluronic acid, and organic silicon. From brands such as Thorne Research, NOW Foods, Lamberts, and Designs for Health, in capsules, tablets, and powder.

What nutrients contribute to Healthy Skin

Skin is the largest organ in the human body, and a varied and balanced diet provides the micronutrients it needs. Biotin, vitamin A, riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), and iodine contribute to the maintenance of normal skin; zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal skin, hair, and nails; vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin; vitamin E, selenium, zinc, and copper contribute to the protection of cells from undesirable oxidation.

How to choose

Compare the dose per serving and the percentage of the nutrient reference value (NRV) indicated on the label. In combined formulas, confirm that the nutrients with skin-related claims are present in significant amounts and not just in traces. The collection also includes products with hydrolyzed collagen, hyaluronic acid, and organic silicon. No supplement replaces sun protection, sleep, and a balanced diet. If you have a diagnosed dermatological condition, speak to your doctor before starting any supplementation.
