Aging, stress, environmental pollutants and a poor diet all have negative impacts on the skin, causing it to lose moisture, luminosity and elasticity over time. A dire prognosis, since we can’t stop the clock. Luckily, the beauty experts at Hum Nutrition have a highly effective solution, proven to help you regain your glow from the inside-out, without messing with the laws of nature.
Glow Sweet Glow is a vegan gummy vitamin that helps the skin retain moisture thanks to low-molecular, easy-to-absorb hyaluronic acid. That, plus a combination of vitamins C and E, gives the skin a protective barrier. Best yet, the gummy tastes like an orange creamsicle.
We chatted with registered dietitian Sarah Greenfield about the radiant effects of hyaluronic acid and vitamins C and E contained in Glow Sweet Glow, Hum’s newest daily vitamin for optimal skin health. As a bonus, Sarah shares her favorite delicious recipes for clear, hydrated skin.
How does Glow Sweet Glow stimulate collagen production?
Glow Sweet Glow (GSG) contains vitamin C, which is a precursor to collagen production, meaning the body needs vitamin C in order to make collagen. GSG gives the body the nutrients it needs to enhance collagen production.
What is Amla fruit doing for my skin?
Amla fruit is also known as Indian Gooseberry—it looks like green grapes. Amla is loaded with vitamin C, which not only supports collagen production, it’s also a powerful antioxidant that helps protect the skin from damage. We are constantly exposed to things in the environment that create free radicals in our bodies, which can damage our skin. Vitamin C from the Amla fruit helps to clear out some of these damaging free radicals.
Tell me about hyaluronic acid. Why is it good for the skin?
Our bodies naturally make hyaluronic acid and 50 percent of the hyaluronic acid in our bodies is found in the skin. This is important for the hydration status of our skin. Hyaluronic acid also helps lock collagen into the skin, which helps decrease fine lines and wrinkles.
What else can I incorporate into my skin care or wellness routine that will further the effects of GSG?
Taking Collagen Love is a great add-on as it provides additional collagen to the body. I would also suggest taking Red Carpet as it provides the body with additional vitamin E and anti-inflammatory fats. Together you have the perfect skin care supplement routine.
