			Essential Fatty Acid Supplementation and Improvement to Skin Texture Essential fatty acid supplements have come to be recommended for a variety of health conditions, both preventatively and in active treatment. Heart disease and cancer are two examples of conditions where essential fatty acids are recommended. Omega-3 fats found in fish and flaxeed oils, absent from many weight loss diets, prevent the formation of useful and diversely beneficial prostaglandin hormones (also known as PG-3). Supplementation with essential oils containing gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and omega-3 fats have been shown to benefit the management of: arthritis many inflammatory skin conditions, such as rosacea eczema psoriasis fibrocystic breast disease ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) - a very contentious diagnosis Menopausal symptoms Pre-menstrual symptoms Essential Fatty Acids Soften, Smooth, Hydrate and Firm Skin There is a scientific reason behind the ability of essential fatty acids to improve many aspects of skin texture and assist in the management of skin conditions. The reason is related to the synthesis of prostaglandin hormones within epidermal cells. Developing skin cells require many elements in order to develop without problems, and live as long as possible. Slowing the rate at which skin cells age is fundamental to an effective anti-aging skin care treatment. This is why effective skin care products contain a perfect blend of biologically relevant materials (amino acids, proteins, vitamins, minerals, trace elements and enzymes), and exclude those ingredients which are not skin-native. Developing skin cells extract essential fatty acids from the bloodstream. If they are present in inadequate concentrations they will be taken up by organs other than the skin, and the essential fatty acids remaining in circulation will be inadequate for the cells' needs. Epidermal Skin Cells Convert Essential Fatty Acids A variety of different fats are used by healthy skin. The epidermal skin cells convert essential fatty acids to prostaglandins. Prostaglandin series 2 hormones will render the skin dry, rough and/or scaly. Prostaglandin seres 1 and series 3 hormones will render the skin soft, smooth and moist, generally supporting many of its functions. Most Diets Produce Excess Series 2 Prostaglandin Hormones Diets high in saturated fats produce hormones that result in dry, rough, uneven skin texture. Many weight-loss diets remove all fats from the equation. A complete anti-aging skin treatment will utilize low-glycemic index foods and actually favor fats high in GLA (gamma-linolenic acid) and the omega-3 fats. Perfect skin texture and condition has been made an impossibility, courtesy of most modern, Western dietary traditions. Effective Supplementation of Essential Fatty Acids for the Improvement of Skin Texture and Condition A marked improvement in the condition of the skin will take around three months after the implementation of suitable essential fatty acid supplements. The rate of skin improvement is determined by the rate at which the epidermis replaces itself in entirety. Depending on your age, this takes anywhere from 45 to 75 days. Given the time taken to achieve improvement, it is recommended to purchase essential fatty acid supplies three months in advance and to only use the purest and most active essential fatty acid supplements. Differences Between Essential Fatty Acid Supplements Used in Skin Care and Treatment To achieve genuinely young-looking skin, characterized by bounce and turgidity, only the most potent and pure supplements will be effective, especially in the treatment of more mature skin. The inter-cellular matrix cannot be adequately rebuilt with weak supplements. It is important to note the following: the diet must already be rich in fish, green leafy vegetables and unsaturated oils in order for the skin to substantially benefit from essential fatty acid supplementation; evening primrose oil is the only suitable supplement source of essential fatty acids, because borage and blackcurrant oils have been shown to have adverse effects; the best source of evening primrose is the Canterbury Plains of New Zealand -- the unpolluted air and mineral rich soils produce the most potent seeds; cold-pressed evening primrose oil destroys much of the needed ingredients; internal supplementation must be augmented by topical care to get the most out of the physical improvement in skin quality, in particular Cells-Life Serum (for high natural glycosaminoglycan and hyaluronate content, as well as other elements which make up the skin's inter-cellular matrix) , Hydra-Ger Mask, Synchro and the Skin Immunity Treatment should be used. breast milk is a rich source of essential fatty acids -- the quality of baby's skin speaks for itself. Thursday, 26 May 2005 Improving Skin Texture and Tone: PG-1 and PG-3 (Prostaglandins) Prostaglandins of series 2 reduce the quality of the skin's texture. Series 1 and seres 3 prostaglandins allow for soft, better hydrated, silky and smooth skin. Skin Care and Prostaglandin Series 1 The key building block for series 1 prostaglandin is gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), found in high concentration in evening primrose. The body can synthesize GLA from linoleic acid, however people with diabetes and eczema, among other conditions and factors, have a defect in the enzyme that makes this conversion. The enyzme is called delta-6 desaturase enzyme. Skin Care and Prostaglandin Series 3 Series 3 prostaglandins are formed from omega-3 unsaturated fats known as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Rich Sources of EPA for Skin Care cold-water marine fish: salmon, mackerel, anchovies, sardines, tuna; suitable EPA skin care supplements. The body is also able to convert omega-3 unsaturated fat in the form of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) into EPA to increase the production of Prostaglandin series 3. Flaxseed oil yields 58% alpha-linolenic acid. Effects of EPA Supplements on Skin prostaglandin series 3 production and synthesis in epidermal cells is increased; skin texture and density improves; skin hydration improves; skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and rosacea are improved. The timeframe for improvement after the commencement of supplementation is 45 to 75 days. The rate of skin improvement is determined by the rate at which the epidermis replaces itself in entirety. Depending on your age, this takes anywhere from 45 to 75 days. Given the time taken to achieve improvement, it is recommended to purchase essential fatty acid supplies three months in advance and to only use the purest and most active essential fatty acid supplements. Additional Effects of Fish Oil on Skin Fish oils, particularly those extracted from salmon, mackerel, anchovies, sardines and tuna, also contain DHA. The body can also convert DHA into EPA, which adds to the potential for series 3 prostaglandin synthesis within the epidermal cells, leading to additional improvement of skin texture, tone and overall condition. DHA also promotes the development and function of the brain, and is required for vision. Thursday, 6 September 2007 Essential Fatty Acid Supplements High quality Essential Fatty Acid (EFA) Supplements with full nutritional integrity and the associated beneficial effects on skin texture, hydration, density and firmness. Dosage should be expertly prescribed by a skin care professional. Essential fatty acid supplementation represents an important component of serious skin care management. Danne Montague King EFA and C-ESTAMINS by Jan Marini are examples of highest quality nutritional supplements that are specifically designed to bring benefit to skin as well as health. Wednesday, 7 November 2007 Vitamins and Minerals Necessary for Skin-Beneficial Prostaglandin Synthesis In order for essential fatty acids from various sources (including fish, evening primrose, borage, blackcurrant, flaxseed oils) to convert effectively into prostaglandins beneficial to the skin, certain vitamins, minerals and trace elements must be present both systemically and in topical skin care. These vital additional elements function as co-enyzmes in the various conversion processes. The most required skin care elements are: Vitamin B6; Zinc; Magnesium; Vitamin C; Vitamin E; Selenium; Niacin (Vitamin B3). These components affected cyclooxygenase, which is the final enzyme in the conversion of essential fatty acids into the skin-beneficial prostaglandins (PG-1 and PG-3). The most recommended sources for topical supplementation of vitamins, minerals and trace elements are as follows: Gernetic Synchro (morning and evening); Gernetic Cytobi (evenings only, after Synchro); Gernetic GER-Lift; Gernetic Marine Facial Mask; Gernetic Marine Day Cream. Thursday, 26 May 2005 Other Benefits of PG-3 (Prostaglandins) to Body and Skin Prostaglandins of the 3rd series are considered essential for general health. PG-3: reduces the risk of heart attacks by dilating blood vessels and reducing abnormal blood clotting; reduces cancer risk, including skin cancer, by slowing down the rate at which mutant cells divide, allowing for more chance for DNA enyzmes to repair mistakes in replication - conversely, series 2 prostaglandins worsen this situation, and are abundant as a result of typical North American diets; brightens and increases the luminosity of skin by reducing inflammation; helps treat inflammatory skin conditions such as rosacea, and other inflammatory conditions including arthritis, Crohn's disease, colitis and neuropathies.
