Protect Your Skin With Algae, Bamboo, and Broccoli

Eating sugar and processed carbohydrates can encourage you to age faster. The fact is your skin's collagen can be damaged from a persistently unhealthy diet. So it’s as much about what you do eat as it is about what you don’t eat. Namely, less bread and more greens. 

We all know broccoli should be on our plate from time to time, but what about algae and bamboo? Yes, these are the new super greens, let me introduce you, intimately. Because when it comes to skin we want to protect our natural collagen. Keeping our skin springy and resisting wrinkles for longer. Super-greens are great at giving your body what it needs to stay young and youthful. 

Broccoli Powder Skin Benefits 

Broccoli is magic. It may not look like magic or taste like it, but it contains a little known substance called Sulforaphane. Found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, Sulforaphane has an “indirect antioxidant effect.” As well as anti-inflammatory priorities and UV protection. 

Clinical trials found that, “Sulforaphane mobilizes cellular defenses that protect skin against damage by UV radiation.”

It’s important to eat whole and raw foods in your diet, regardless of supplementation. But it’s an understated reality, that fresh vegetables often go bad in the fridge before they make it onto our dinner plate. Rotate mature broccoli, broccoli sprouts and broccoli sprouts extract powder within your diet regularly to get the approximate 35mg of Sulforaphane you need each day. 

We formulated our Restore Collagen Boosting Powder, to include: 400mg of Bamboo Extract, 500mg of Broccoli Extract Powder, and 1.5g of Organic Chlorella Powder (whole algae). Because who said getting older has to mean looking older? Not us!

Whole Algae (Chlorella Powder) 

Let us start off by saying algae is anti-aging supplementation gold. The natural powerhouse has not only anti-oxidant priorities but muscle regeneration properties. Algae contain “chlorophyll, beta-carotene, vitamin E and vitamin C,” that work together to keep your skin healthy and youthful. 

Chlorella can make your skin more sensitive to the sun, so make sure to wear sunscreen if you are going to routinely use supplements containing algae. Sunscreen is also just an all-around good habit to adopt. Allure quotes a study that says sunscreen can prevent and reverse sun-damage, like wrinkles. Other things to take into consideration before using Chlorella, is if you experience mold-related allergies, chlorella may cause your body to trigger a similar allergic reaction.
