What does Inner Health mean?
Inner health is what we refer to as the healthiness of our insides. 70 to 80 per cent of the immune system lies within our digestive system and when your gut is functioning optimally, you will notice better energy, mood and immune function and better skin health! It is really important to take care of not only your skin, but your gut health too.
How does our inner health affect our skin?
Have you ever noticed that when you eat healthy, you feel more energetic and your skin looks clearer? Well, there's a reason for that!
Your gut and skin are connected through what's called the "gut-skin axis". The connection between your gut and skin is maintained by trillions of bacteria, fungi, and other living organisms in your body, known as the microbiome.
These microbes play a critical role in your health. An imbalance in your gut or skin microbiome can cause changes on your skin, such as acne, redness, or dryness, as well as internal changes like digestive issues.
By maintaining a healthy diet and supporting your gut health, you can improve your skin's appearance and boost your overall health and wellbeing.
Nutritional support for Everyone
The condition of your skin is influenced by various factors such as your diet, environmental factors, lifestyle choices, hormonal balance, and self-care practices.
For our skin to stay healthy, resist premature ageing, and heal efficiently, it requires a diverse range of nutrients. If you have dull, lifeless, inflamed or spotty skin, it could be a sign that your body is not receiving enough essential nutrients or that your diet is negatively affecting your complexion.
There are several options to choose from depending on if you prefer a tablet, power or oil form for your supplements. Here are some of our favourites here:
