Our esthetician gave Cleopatra to her client and noticed that her heavy ring lines were reduced.” - Denise After 4 Weeks After 8 Weeks After 8 Weeks Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate ) is a water-carrying molecule and natural component of the connective tissues. • Hyaluronic acid, also known as HA, is a natural compound found in skin that has many important functions, including holding in moisture, providing cushioning, aiding in tissue repair, holding together the skin structural components collagen and elastin, and helping create a protective barrier against microorganisms • As we age, skin moisture can drop significantly, which makes the skin lose elasticity and expose the signs of aging on the skin. Hyaluronic acid plays a critical role in skin health with its unique ability to hold in moisture (1000 ml of water per gram of hyaluronic acid). • The FDA has approved the use of hyaluronic acid during certain eye surgeries including cataract removal, corneal transplantation, and repair of a detached retina and other eye injuries. It is injected into the eye during the procedure to help replace natural fluids. The human body contains about 15 grams of HA. Each day one-third of that amount is degraded and synthesized during various biological activities and must be replaced. As we age, the body becomes less effective at replacing the protective agent. •The gel-like substance helps produce collagen in the skin, where it is needed for wound healing and keeps skin cells hydrated and elastic. • It has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties that protect the body from infection. • Elina Organics use certified vegan and gluten free Hyaluronic Acid. • The polymer hyaluronic acid is an important natural component of skin produced by fibroblast skin cells, which decreases as you age. • Skin starts losing hyaluronic acid as early as age 18, but wrinkles and other skin damage from hyaluronic acid loss don't generally show up until the late 30s or early 40s. WHY HYALURONIC ACID IS IMPORTANT FOR THE SKIN Hyaluronic acid is a major component of skin, where it benefits tissue repair and protection. When applied in an HA cream or serum, hyaluronic acid forms an air permeable layer and penetrates into the dermis, thus boosting the elasticity and hydration of the skin. Hyaluronic acid is also a “smart nutrient” as it can adjust its moisture absorption rate based on the humidity—relative to the season and the climate. Unlike collagen, Hyaluronic Acid is able to penetrate the skin’s upper layers to improve and benefit the skin when applied topically. • Mandelic Acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) extracted from Bitter Almond. • Mandelic acid works by breaking up the bond between dead skin cells, leading to an increased rate of cellular turnover. Over the past years, mandelic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) named after the German mandel (almond) and derived from the hydrolysis of an extract of bitter almonds has been studied extensively for its possible uses in treating common skin problems such as photoaging, irregular pigmentation, and acne. An open-trial investigation conducted at the Gateway Aesthetic Institute and Laser Center in Salt Lake City, Utah , has shown that mandelic acid is useful in suppressing pigmentation, treating inflammatory noncystic acne, and rejuvenating photoaged skin. Mark B. Taylor M.D Reishi Mushroom • Reishi has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for more than 4,000 to promote longevity. The Chinese name lingzhi means “herb of spiritual potency.” • A Japanese name for the reishi is mannentake, meaning “10,000-year-old mushroom.” Reishi's use is documented in the oldest Chinese medical text, which is more than 2,000 years old. Glutathione (GSH) • Glutathione (GSH) is often referred to as the body's master antioxidant. Composted of three amino acids - cysteine, glycine, and glutamate - glutathione can be found in virtually every cell of the human body. The highest concentration of glutathione is in the liver, making it critical in the body's detoxification process. • GSH is an extremely important cell protectant. It directly quenches reactive hydroxyl free radicals, other oxygen-centered free radicals, and radical centers on DNA and other biomolecules. • GSH is a primary protectant of skin, lens, cornea, and retina against radiation damage. • Milk thistle is an excellent source of the antioxidant compound silymarin. Silyarmin helps to prevent the depletion of glutathione in the liver. • Glutathione is necessary for the liver to detoxify harmful substances. • Cumin also has the ability to increase glutathione tissue levels.. •Elina Organics uses Setria® Glutathione Type: Peptides Application: Supplement & Nutrition | Pharmaceuticals | Cosmetics •Setria Glutathione is pure, vegetarian and allergen-free. It is manufactured according to GMP standards. •A new long-term, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled human clinical trial, published in the European Journal of Nutrition confirms that Setria Glutathione is effective at increasing blood levels and enhancing immune cell function in humans.*1 Skin-whitening and skin-condition-improving effects of topical oxidized glutathione: a doubleblind and placebo-controlled clinical trial in healthy women. Fumiko Watanabe, Erika Hashizume, [...], and Ayako Kamimura •Results: The skin melanin index was significantly lower with GSSG treatment than with placebo from the early weeks after the start of the trial through to the end of the study period (at 10 weeks, P<0.001). In addition, in the latter half of the study period GSSG-treated sites had significant increases in moisture content of the stratum corneum, suppression of wrinkle formation, and improvement in skin smoothness. There were no marked adverse effects from GSSG application. Conclusion: Topical GSSG is safe and effectively whitens the skin and improves skin condition in healthy women. • The lymphatic system is part of the circulatory system and a vital part of the immune system, comprising a network of lymphatic vessels that carry a clear fluid called lymph (from Latin lympha meaning water[1]) directionally towards the heart. • Our lymph system is like the garbage disposal for the body, trapping and flushing toxins. Unlike our cardiovascular system, however, the lymph system does not have a pump to move the fluid. Instead, the movement of the body is responsible for preventing the stagnation of toxins in the lymph. The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland that sits low on the front of the neck. Your thyroid lies below your Adam’s apple, along the front of the windpipe. The thyroid has two side lobes, connected by a bridge (isthmus) in the middle. When the thyroid is its normal size, you can’t feel it. The thyroid secretes several hormones, collectively called thyroid hormones. The main hormone is thyroxine, also called T4. Thyroid hormones act throughout the body, influencing metabolism, growth and development, and body temperature. Goiter: A general term for thyroid swelling. Goiters can be harmless, or can represent iodine deficiency or a condition associated with thyroid inflammation called Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Thyroiditis: Inflammation of the thyroid, usually from a viral infection or autoimmune condition. Thyroiditis can be painful, or have no symptoms at all. Hyperthyroidism: Excessive thyroid hormone production. Hyperthyroidism is most often caused by Graves disease or an overactive thyroid nodule. Hypothyroidism: Low production of thyroid hormone. Thyroid damage caused by autoimmune disease is the most common cause of hypothyroidism .
