Terranova Beauty Complex

Description

Terranova Beauty Complex For Skin Hair & Nails is a scientifically-based formulation of nutrients for skin, hair and nail health enhanced with highly active, whole and unadulterated superfoods and botanicals.  Terranova Beauty Complex is 100% vegan, and free from binders, fillers and other excipients.

Horsetail Spring Shoot is abundant in many nutrients crucial to skin, hair and nail health and integrity, i.e. silicon (which functions as a sort of `cellular glue`), sulphur (especially prominent in hair), vitamin C (needed for collagen production) and calcium.

Nettle provides significant levels of calcium, silicon and vitamin C, as well as the essential skin, hair and nail nutrient, zinc.

Sea Buckthorn berries are among the richest natural sources of omega 7 fatty acids, which have come to prominence due to their health and beauty applications – especially in maintaining healthy skin. The high levels of potent antioxidant flavonoids and carotenoids and an abundance of vitamins C and E also justify the use of sea buckthorn in a natural beauty regime.

Research suggests that anthocyan-oside flavonoids, (especially prominent in bilberry fruit) stimulate production of mucopolysaccharides, which are major structural components of skin tissue. They also exhibit powerful free radical scavenging effects.

B-vitamins, many which are crucial to hair growth and quality, figure prominently in the nutritional makeup of Stabilised Rice Bran. SRB also provides more than 100 known antioxidants, which is significant in that free radicals are a primary cause of skin ageing.

The catechin and epicatechin flavanols found in raw cacao nibs have long been researched for their powerful free radical scavenging properties. However, more recent discoveries include the role of cacao flavanols in dramatically enhancing the healthy function of the circulatory network within skin tissue.

One of the richest sources of the important skin, hair and nail nutrient zinc, pumpkin seeds also provide vital fatty acids.

Compounds in gotu kola have displayed properties significant to skin integrity and healing, especially the enhancment of collagen production and tensile strength of connective tissue.

The historical use of burdock in skin health may be due to various factors, such as antimicrobial properties, the immune-supportive role of inulin (a major component of burdock) and burdock`s potential role in encouraging inner cleansing.

In addition to the important skin nutrients, vitamins A and C, watercress has a remarkably high activity of antioxidants, especially glucosinolates, which may support detoxification.

The Terranova Philosophy

What Is MAGNIFOOD?

Each Terranova nutritional product is enhanced with its own synergistic complex of botanicals and phytonutrient-rich foods, called Magnifood. Magnifood ingredients are combined in a manner which enhances the body`s biochemical environment in order to maximise the potential benefits of the product’s vitamins, minerals and/or other nutrients. Many of the plants used in Magnifood are fresh freeze dried. Research shows that fresh freeze drying has the unique ability to retain a plant`s enzymes, and is shown to be superior to other drying methods in terms of activity, stability, solubility and preservation of a plant`s original fresh chemistry (as it was when the plant was harvested).

MAGNIFOOD Advantages:

• Enhancing absorption, bioavailability, utilisation, activity, stability, function and effect of the product`s nutrients.
• Providing synergistic enzymes and co-factors crucial to the utilisation and functions of the product`s nutrients.
• Providing a vast array of phytonutrients that enhance the potential functions and/or applications of the product.
• Providing ingredients which enhance the overall content of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients in the product.
• Protecting ingredients from oxidative damage, helping to support the stability and activity of the product`s nutrients.
