Beautiful, shiny hair, strong fingernails and smooth, firm skin are all features of health and natural beauty. A sufficient supply of certain nutrients is essential to nourish the skin, hair and nails from the inside.
They are the building blocks of connective tissue, like Collagen, Elastin and Keratin. They make sure that the skin stays smooth and elastic, nails stay strong and robust and hair stays strong and beautiful.
Nobody can escape it. We are frequently encountered by it. Very few people know that stress, in its different forms, is by far beauty's worst enemy.The body's reaction to heavy physical or mental strain is the distribution of so called stress hormones.
These plunder very important amino acids from the connective tissue which would be used for the build-up of Collagen and this means that for example the skin will become thinner, 'crow's feet' and folds will show sooner and more rapidly.
The second largest stress source is environmental pollution through exhaust gases, heavy metals, pesticides etc. One must not forget that smoking, the use of alcohol and a bad diet is also a self inflicted strain for the body.
All these things lead to the development of free radicals, which damage the connective tissue and seriously speed up the ageing process.
Vivid contains a large amount of amino acids which are active in the connective tissue. These help to keep the firmness and the elasticity of the skin by supporting the build-up of Collagen and Elastin in the connective tissue.
In that way the skin will stay firm and elastic. Scientist have discovered that the skins natural Hyaluronic acid is responsible for its moisture content. Unfortunately this content decreases with age.
With Vivid and its Collagen Type II it is now possible to increase the Hyaluronic acid content in a natural way to enhance the skins moisture and elasticity. People who regularly use Vivid have reported that they now use less, or even sometimes no moisturising creme at all.
Nails consist to 98% of keratin, which is a protein combination with a high amount of sulphur. Vivid contains certain amino acids, MSM and vitamins which helps the build-up of keratin.
That turns nails which are soft and brittle back to strong and beautiful. Trace elements such as iron and zinc are also very important for healthy, beautiful nails.
Healthy, beautiful hair is a sign for youth and vitality. The cosmetic industry tries to convince us that hair can be revitalised through the outside with the help of shampoos and conditioners.
Fact is that hairs are lifeless cranial substances and the only thing that is alive is the hair root itself where the hair grows from.
Vivid acts directly with the root and supplies the hair bulbs with important nutrients in promoting to build-up of healthy, voluminous hair. Vivid is ideal for brittle, split and dull hair. It supplies the beauty mineral sulphur through the amino acids L-Cysteine and L-Methionine.
Together with the vitamins B2, B6 and Biotin, they are responsible for the production of hair keratin and give the hair its shine and volume.
