COMPOSITION
Borage oil (Oleum Borago officinalis) is an important of source of gamma linolenic acid (GLA) which provides essential Omega-6 fatty acids important for healthy skin, heart, circulation, and nerves. GLA is taken by women pre-menstrually and for the maintenance of joint mobility. Many people in Western societies may be partially GLA-deficient as a result of aging, glucose intolerance, and dietary fat intake. Borage oil is derived from the seeds of the borage plant (Borago officinalis).
Wheat germ oil is an excellent source of Octacosanol, an alcohol fatty acid naturally occurring in wheat germ. Wheat germ oil is also a good source of Omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E. Wheat germ is believed to improve colon function, nourish the skin, lower cholesterol and boost the immune system.
Ceramides are natural lipids (fats) and a major component of skin structure. These fats allow skin to retain moisture. Ceramides in Beauty help replace those lost in the aging process.
Cod liver oil is a traditional health tonic -- for good reason. It promotes healthy skin, strong bones and teeth, and healthy joints, cardiovascular system, and nervous system.
Methionine is a powerful anti-oxidant and a good source of sulfur, which prevents disorders of the hair, skin, and nails; assists the breakdown of fats, thus helping to prevent a buildup of fat in the liver and arteries that might obstruct blood flow to the brain, heart, and kidneys; helps to detoxify harmful agents such as lead and other heavy metals; helps diminish muscle weakness; prevents brittle hair. It is beneficial for women who take oral contraceptives because it promotes the excretion of estrogen.
Vitamin H (Biotin) is used in cell growth, the production of fatty acids, metabolism of fats, and proteins. It plays a role in the Kreb cycle, which is the process by which energy is released from food. Biotin is also indicated for healthy hair and skin, healthy sweat glands, nerve tissue, and bone marrow, and relieving muscle pain.
