Mechanisms of nutritional defence
The organism has ‘captors’ of free radicals which arrive in the body for the most part in the form of food: these are the anti-oxidants. The latter are mainly represented by specific carotenoids and by selenium.
Bioretinol®
Biorétinol® is a carotenoid which is present in the skin. It also offers help in protecting the membrane phospholipids of the skin’s cells. It also stimulates the renewal of the skin’s cells. Our food intake must provide continual replenishment in the skin’s cells, as the need is constant
Lutein
Lutein can be found in the skin but also in the eye: it is the main anti-oxidant of the retina and of the christallin in the eye and possesses numerous properties. It is indispensable both for the protection of the cells and for the prevention of wrinkles.
Actilycopene®
In addition to its proven anti-oxidant effect, Actilycopène® protects and stimulates the synthesis of collagen and elastine so that the skin’s density and firmness are increased.
Selenium
It is one of the most powerful anti-oxidants. A sufficient level of intake of selenium protects against the ageing of the skin and also against the action of other anti-oxidants.
