IMEDEEN Skincare supplement questions
-
The condition your skin was in before you started taking IMEDEEN Skincare tablets was the result of many years of influencing factors. Similarly, should you stop using IMEDEEN Skincare tablets, the results you have obtained will not disappear overnight, but will reduce gradually. While we have not examined the pace at which this happens, we know from consumer experiences that it varies from person to person; some say after as little as one month and others have reported from four to six months.

An antioxidant helps protect the cells from oxidative stress by neutralizing free radicals. Found naturally in the body and skin, antioxidants are stable molecules from which free radicals can "steal" an extra electron. Once they have acquired an extra electron, free radicals are neutralized. An example of an antioxidant is vitamin C which helps protect cells against oxidative stress.

There are no known contraindications and it is unlikely that IMEDEEN supplements will adversely interact with pharmaceuticals. However, we recommend that people suffering from a serious illness or who are under medical supervision in general do not take food supplements without consulting their doctor.

Hair and nails share a similar composition and are primarily formed of keratin, a fibrous structural protein. Nourishing from the inside is essential for normal hair and nails as all nutrients are delivered via the bloodstream. Topical treatments on hair and the visible part of your nails can only enhance cells that are already dead – they do not impact on synthesis of structural proteins. Zinc is delivered by the bloodstream and contributes to normal protein synthesis.

Having more than 100% of the NRV should not cause any concern because the levels do not exceed the recommended Safe Upper Level (SUL) for each vitamin. Water soluble vitamins - such as the B group vitamins - cannot be stored by the body to any great extent, so if you take in more than your body needs, they are simply excreted.
