Supplements

While Perricone MD’s topical treatments infuse skin with nourishing antioxidants and transformative nutrients, Perricone MD believes that an anti-aging routine should be more than skin deep. Infuse these same ingredients into your diet, and you’ll not only enhance your well-being, but also improve the structure and function of skin for a healthier, younger appearance.

To supplement a healthy diet, Perricone MD offers “nutriceuticals,” or advanced nutritional supplements that work synergistically with topical skin care to deliver optimal anti-aging results and improved overall health. These capsules contain highly targeted antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins and minerals that can bring individualized benefits, including better brain power, stronger cells, improved metabolism, increased muscle tone and more.

There’s no “one size fits all” approach to nutriceuticals. Instead, find the Perricone MD supplements that will best benefit your health and appearance.

• DMAE: DMAE is a powerful compound that brings multiple benefits including:

• Anti-inflammatory properties: DMAE helps skin fight free radicals to prevent environmental and age-related damage.

• Boosts production of acetylcholine: DMAE increases production of this essential neurotransmitter to support muscle structure and function.

Taking Perricone MD DMAE Dietary Supplement will complement topical DMAE to help defend the body against environmental damage while correcting existing signs of aging.

• Vitamin C Ester: Perricone MD Vitamin C Ester Dietary Supplement is a nourishing dose of vitamin C ester, which brings the following benefits:

• Antioxidant: Vitamin C is considered the first line of defense against free radicals, shielding skin from environmental damage.

• Immune function: This nutrient shields the body and skin from viruses, bacteria and other pathogens.

• Boost energy: As a supplement, vitamin C ester boosts energy levels.

• Absorption of other nutrients: Vitamin C ester improves the body’s ability to absorb other nutrients.

• Increases collagen production: This vitamin supports the skin’s natural ability to produce collagen, supporting healthy skin structure.

• Alpha lipoic acid: This compound is naturally found within the skin, but only in very small amounts. It’s also tough to find in food, so taking Perricone MD Alpha Lipoic Capsules is essential to amplify its benefits, which include:

• Antioxidant: Alpha lipoic acid helps the skin fight the free radicals that cause aging.

• Immune function: This nutrient supports healthy immune function, for enhanced overall wellness.

• Metabolism: Alpha lipoic acid assists in the breakdown of glucose and supports healthy metabolism.

• Omega 3 fatty acids: Contrary to popular belief, some fats are good. Healthy lipids like the omega-3 fatty acids found in Perricone MD Omega 3 Dietary Supplement are essential for the following functions:

• Anti-inflammatory: Omega-3 fatty acids reduce the production of inflammatory compounds.

• Appetite control: Eating healthy lipids like omega-3 fatty acids help control your appetite.

• Boost metabolism: Omega-3 fatty acids boost healthy metabolism and help the body burn fat.

• Healthier hair and skin: Omega-3 fatty acids support cellular renewal, helping hair and skin appear fresh, shiny and strong.

• Hydration: Omega-3 fatty acids are especially helpful in restoring skin’s lipid barrier to lock in moisture and prevent dryness.

A holistic approach to health

When it comes to transforming the health and appearance of aging skin, Perricone MD understands that effective results depend on more than topical treatments. With a healthy diet, nutritional supplements and an intensive, science-based skin care regimen, you can fundamentally transform your mind and body to reveal healthier, more radiant skin from head to toe.
