Mg
Magnesium helps promote healing in skin cells, boost cellular metabolism, slow the aging process and detoxify the epidermis.
Why is magnesium so important for healthy skin?
Wrinkles are caused by inflammation and damage from free radicals – charged chemical particles that enter into destructive chemical bonds with organic substances in our bodies like proteins or genes. These destructive bonds result in oxidation, or chemical burning, which destroys our skin cells.
Our bodies’ natural protection against free radicals are the enzymes in charge of DNA replication and repair. These enzymes need magnesium to perform their function.
Magnesium boosts our cells’ ability to fight off the attacks of free radicals and prevent wrinkling. It also prevents inflammation by increasing the skin’s level of fatty acids, which maintain skin elasticity and help it retain moisture.
