Anti-Aging Vitamins and Supplements

Do you feel overwhelmed by what vitamins and supplements you should consume? Ever wonder if they are really effective? For those of you who know me or have been around Annie James a bit, you know that I strive for SIMPLICITY. Taking a large handful of vitamins every day is not my cup of tea. However, there are vitamins and supplements that are beneficial for your skin and help slow down the effects of aging.

If you consume a healthy diet, you are receiving most of your vitamin needs from your food. Most multivitamins have ingredients that you are already receiving from the protein, fruits and vegetables that you are eating. So, it is important to supplement your body only with nutrients that your body actually needs and can utilize effectively.

SO…what vitamins and supplements are helpful for the health of your skin?

-Vitamin C (it helps increase your natural production of collagen)

-Collagen (you naturally produce less collagen as you age which results in fine lines and wrinkles. Taking a collagen supplement increases the moisture of your skin as well as reduces wrinkles and improve elasticity)

-Magnesium (this mineral improves the overall appearance of your skin; it can also reduce acne because it helps stabilize hormonal imbalances; and most people are magnesium deficient)

-Omega-3 (protects skin from the sun, anti-inflammatory, fight wrinkles, promotes hydration of skin)

-Vitamin E (supports healthy cell function, reduces IV damage to skin)

Does even that list overwhelm you? I can relate.

After much reading and research, I started taking Ritual Vitamins for Women. They are sourced from reputable sites around the world, and their vitamins only contain bioavailable nutrients that you cannot receive in sufficient quantities from your food. Their Essential for Women will cover your magnesium, omega-3, and Vitamin E needs. Their vitamins are also devoid of synthetic fillers, are gluten free, and even contain a “stay-fresh” mint capsule that makes them smell good.

So now, all you need is some collagen powder in your smoothie or coffee and a Vitamin C capsule.
