1. how important is skin health?
The skin is a protective covering, guardian of the immune system, temperature regulator, sensory organ and vitamin D supplier. In addition, skin is of course the largest human organ!
It has an area of 1.5 to 2 m² and weighs 10 to 14 kg. This shows how important the skin is for the body and its metabolism. For some years now, the focus has been on the skin as an organ with complex hormonal properties. If there are any disturbances, skin diseases such as acne or hair loss can follow. Until not so long ago, bacteria or diet were mistakenly considered to be the cause of acne. Today we know that sex hormones and stress hormones influence the development of acne.
The visible condition of the skin provides a whole range of information at a glance, e.g. about age and state of health. Many diseases are indicated by a change in skin color and structure: for example, people with too few red blood cells are pale and liver inflammation causes the skin to turn yellowish. In short: from the health of the skin, conclusions can be drawn about the health of the entire organism!

2 Which nutrients are good for the skin?
A lack of minerals, oxidative stress or inflammatory processes that take place in our body are often reflected in external symptoms such as acne, wrinkles or hair loss. Many natural nutrients rich in antioxidants and minerals can therefore help to achieve radiant and healthy skin. These nutrients are particularly important for healthy and beautiful skin:
-Water
-Zinc
-selenium
-vitamin C
-B vitamins, biotin, niacin, riboflavin and B6
- Omega-3 fatty acids
- Trace element silicon
-Water
-Zinc
-selenium
-vitamin C
-B vitamins, biotin, niacin, riboflavin and B6

- Trace element silicon
3. which vitamins are good for the hair?
These vitamins, minerals and trace elements make your hair grow faster and make it strong and shiny:
-Biotin - is one of the most important vitamins for hair
- Other B vitamins - which activate cell metabolism
- Iron
- Zinc
- Selenium
-Biotin - is one of the most important vitamins for hair

4. acne: What are the causes?
Here is some information that you probably didn't know yet: Acne is the most common skin disease worldwide! It is the collective term for similar but different diseases of the hair follicles and sebaceous glands located in the epidermis and dermis. They are caused by the blockage of sebaceous glands due to increased sebum production and keratinization. Depending on the severity, acne is divided into mild, moderate and severe.
-If blackheads are prevalent, it is referred to as mild acne,
- if pimples and pustules are present, it is referred to as moderate acne,
- if acne nodules (under the skin) are also present, it is referred to as severe acne.
During puberty, the increased secretion of male sex hormones causes stimulation of the sebaceous glands, which then produce more sebum. However, such hormonal fluctuations do not only occur during puberty, but also during pregnancy, the menopause and after stopping the contraceptive pill.
But hormonal factors can lead to more than just skin problems: Excessive hair loss can also have hormonal causes.

5. what exactly is hair loss?
Pathological hair loss, known as "alopecia", means that more than 100 hairs a day are left hanging in the brush. An estimated 1.5 million men and 500,000 women in Germany suffer from such hair loss. The causes can vary. If the hair on the scalp falls out, this is often a great burden for those affected for cosmetic reasons. However, it can also be a sign of a disease affecting the whole body.
Hormones are often the reason for excessive hair loss. In other words, an imbalance of male and female hormones. Essentially, the lack of the female hormone oestrogen, the female sex hormone, is responsible.
Gentle hair care is important to support the stressed hair roots in the best possible way. In addition to targeted care, nutritional supplements are recommended if necessary, which provide the hair with building materials, vitamins and trace elements that are important for hair growth. Nutritional supplements are particularly suitable for so-called "diffuse hair loss" in order to compensate for diagnosed deficiencies. Natural nutrients can also strengthen the hair roots and stimulate hair growth.
However, if there are signs of hereditary hair loss, restorative supplements alone are not sufficient. In this case, medical medication is recommended to combat the cause of the hereditary hair loss.

6 How do black rice and prickly pear cactus help?
The patented branded ingredient Actrisave® consists of extracts of wild black rice (Oryza sativa) and prickly pear cactus flowers (Opuntia flower), which can inhibit hair loss enzymes and cell oxidation.
The prickly pear cactus was already a cultivated plant of the Aztecs in ancient Mexico. The Indians of North America were also aware of the benefits of this traditional plant. Prickly pear supports the skin in its "repair" process.
The rice plant is mainly cultivated in Asia. Black wild rice has a broad spectrum of fatty acids and very good antioxidant properties.
SkinFit Complex with Actrisave® is available here.

7 What studies are available on the effectiveness of the nutrients?
Scientific study on "hair"
Black wild rice shows strong antioxidant activities and inhibits the enzyme 5-α-reductase, which is partly responsible for hair loss.

Scientific study on "skin"
Triglycerides make up more than 90% of dietary lipids. They form a good protection against the cold in the skin and also protect it from injuries. After a 2-week intake of prickly pear flowers, the oxidative damage to these lipids was reduced and the antioxidant status of the epidermis improved.

Scientific studies on "Antioxidants for skin and hair"
A study carried out at the University of Palermo/Italy in December 2003 confirmed that prickly pear cactus can protect cells from ageing by inhibiting oxidation. In combination with vitamins E and C, it can also protect against oxidative stress.
Source:https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/80/2/391/4690322
As early as 2004, a study found that the main flavonoids in prickly pear cactus have an antioxidant effect. There are many indications that these "new" antioxidants are even more efficient than vitamins, as they are able to delay the pro-oxidative effects in proteins, DNA and lipids while radical scavengers are formed.
