ImageQuestion: Do the SuperFoods specifically have any anti-inflamatory and anti-aging skincare benefits? Can you tell me which ingredients in SuperFoods function in this way?

 Answer: Thank you very much for taking the time to write. Science has found that a variety of nutrients and antioxidants can help protect the skin against the aging effects of excessive sun exposure. In particular, nutrients like vitamins C and E, carotenoids like beta-carotene, lutein and lycopene, and certain “phytonutrients” found in fruits and vegetables have been found to reduce markers of skin inflammation, to reduce skin roughness and improve skin elasticity and thickness. You can obtain many nutrients from a healthy diet that contains plenty of fruits and vegetables and a varitety of the SuperFoods.
