What are phytonutrients and what effect can they have on the aging process? They are fruit and plant extracts which have become known as the latest new source of phytochemicals that are highly beneficial to skin cells and cellular tissue.

Phytonutrients are categorized as antioxidants and are usually found in plants and vegetables. They work by supplying vital oxygenated molecules to skin, body tissue and organs making them a key factor to maintaining a healthy body.

Researchers have learned that certain types of plant compounds contain disease fighting phytochemicals that help to protect the body’s immune system as well as major organs and will help damaged tissue heal faster.

Scientist discovered that phytochemicals actually stimulated the manufacturing of self-healing cells in plants in lab tests and had a similar effect on people. The enzymes released during this process is proven to have major benefits in helping to inhibit substances that cause the development of cancer and other forms of chronic disease.

The result of over a decade of research compels us to use the power of plants in nature as an essential supplement to maintaining good health. On a much practical level, you can introduce a healthy diet of enzyme producing phytonutrients by regularly eating dark leafy vegetables and berries, cruciferous, soy and by consuming quality red wine.

Alpha Lipoic Acid is highly regarded as a new source of nutrients containing disease fighting compounds and is proven to reduce the aging of skin cells. Research suggests that is should be taken with vitamin C and E for maximum benefits. Alpha Lipoic Acid can be taken orally as a supplement or applied to the surface of the skin as an active ingredient in certain types of topical skin care products.

We all know that vitamin C also known as ascorbic acid is essential for maintaining good health and has been proven to positively affect everything from skin and hair to good cardiovascular health and cellular development. Vitamin C which is an antioxidant synthesizes the production of collagen and helps to promote youthful elasticity within skin.

An important component to maintaining good health is by taking vitamin E. This vitamin contains a compound called tocopherol that is a fat-based soluble that forms a protective layer around skin and body cells. It too is proven to help in the war against certain types of cancers.

People suffering with high cholesterol have found this vitamin most helpful too. It is a common prescription to help lower high cholesterol. Looking for younger looking more youthful skin? You guessed it. Taking a daily dose of vitamin C can actually help you look and feel younger. This is why the label on many cosmetic jars shows vitamin C and E and a key ingredient.

Since we know that supplements containing vitamins C and E combined with phytonutrients are important to one’s overall health, they should be taken on a regular basis. Apply these compounds to the skin directly by using a cosmetic skin cream or take in the form of a pill or liquid.
