Although few people can explain why vitamins are essential (a question we covered in our article on the role of vitamin E in hydration ), they are part of our daily lives.
“Stock up on vitamins”, “gorge on vitamins”, “rich in vitamins”… There is no shortage of slogans and adages and this is for good reasons: vitamins are, so to speak, vital!
However, they are sometimes lent properties that they do not have. Worse still: some brands use the vagueness that reigns around the functions of these molecules essential to your health to position their product in a questionable manner.
So why not arm yourself to choose what you consume in an informed manner? To achieve this, a few steps are necessary…
Don't panic, you are not alone: the MyPUREskin team reveals 3 misconceptions about vitamin E, so that you no longer fall into the trap of unscrupulous marketing teams!
Vitamin E: a fantastic molecule but not omnipotent!
No, vitamin E is not an “anti-aging” molecule
If we stick to the expression “anti-aging” which often refers to the ability of a product or molecule to prevent the appearance of wrinkles, to limit or even reduce skin sagging and dryness, then vitamin E is definitely not an anti-aging molecule.
Having no direct impact on the skin's suppleness and hydration levels, vitamin E has the power to neutralize free radicals.
It is in fact the limitation of oxidative stress (created by the excessive presence of free radicals) which reduces the damage caused to your epidermis and your dermis.
In other words: vitamin E “simply” contributes to limiting the deterioration of the quality of your skin, which proves more difficult to maintain during aging.
No, not all vitamin E is equal in all circumstances for everyone
Whether you are a woman or a man and whether you are 10, 20, 35 or 60 years old, your body has its own needs.
It is therefore not reasonable to take vitamin E as a supplement just because other people are consuming it.
If the risk of hypervitaminosis (excess vitamin in the body) is almost zero (you would have to consume very large quantities to achieve this), the effects are still not identical from one individual to another.
The amount of vitamin E you should consume also depends on your lifestyle and the desired effects.
It is less and less indicated, for example, in the context of smoking. Long considered an ally for smokers wishing to limit the impact of cigarettes on their body, it would actually prove more harmful in such a situation.
This leads to a simple but potentially very useful truth for improving your quality of life: you will not derive the same benefits depending on whether you choose to consume vitamin E alone or with other active ingredients.
This result is explained by the possibility for this molecule to enter into synergy with other compounds, that is to say to function in a different way when you ingest it at the same time as certain active ingredients, such as vitamin C for example.
Finally, not all vitamin E is equal. It is always preferable to consume vitamin E from food or, at least, extracted from a natural source that is as unrefined as possible, when choosing a food supplement.
No, vitamin E does not prevent hair loss
Sometimes invoked by brands of food supplements as an “anti-hair loss” or even as a molecule allowing hair to regrow, vitamin E in no way allows such results to be obtained.
However, combined with biotin (vitamin B8) in sufficient quantity (from 7.5 micrograms per 100 grams of any food supplement), it helps to improve and maintain the condition of healthy hair. , especially for people with fragile scalp.
We must still keep in mind that it is biotin which offers such benefits and that the contribution of vitamin E lies in increased protection of the hair against oxidative stress.
MyCollagenLift: a natural vitamin E in synergy with a formula that makes sense
While it is important to distance ourselves from preconceived ideas about vitamin E, we must still recognize this molecule for the usefulness it offers to consumers of food supplements seeking a nutritional solution to support their aging.
Putting its antioxidant power at the service of superior quality nutricosmetics, such as MyCollagenLift, vitamin E is part of an initiative that makes sense, especially when it is of natural origin.
This initiative is the reason for beauty and health routines, it is also the starting point of the exclusive MyCollagenLift formula: taking care of yourself by helping to preserve your quality of life as much as possible as you age.
This support provided to future seniors by the MyPURESkin team, at the origin of MyCollagenLift, is a gift for your skin in 3 steps:
- Nourish your epidermis and dermis;
- Support your body's production of key molecules for the quality of your skin in terms of firmness, suppleness and hydration;
- Help protect your epidermal barrier from oxidative stress.
To meet this challenge, MyCollagenLift has significant advantages expressed through a synergy based on a batch of ingredients whose origin is 100% natural:
- Vitamin E, whose support in terms of neutralizing free radicals is a breath of oxygen for your skin;
- Vitamin C (extracted from acerola fruit) whose antioxidant power makes it an essential molecule for a quality formula;
- Collagen peptides (more bioavailable than non-hydrolyzed collagen) helping your body maintain its production of endogenous collagen;
- Hyaluronic acid, the cornerstone of a logic of supporting the hydration effort of your skin;
- Wheat ceramides (gluten-free) whose properties support this hydration process by helping to prevent the insensible loss of water from your body;
- Organic silicon, whose properties contribute to helping the epidermis maintain its structure over time;
- Grape OPCs and zinc whose relevance to free electrons increases the effectiveness of the MyCollagenLift formula.
Evaluated by the IEA (European Institute of Antioxidants) as being a “product of exceptional quality to fight against oxidative stress”, MyCollagenLift aims to support you daily through an initial 3-month treatment to harness the power of its vitamin E and its premium ingredients for your wellness routine.
