1 Beetroot

Dermatologist, Dr. Mark Rosenberg reports, “It was found that eating beets, and drinking beet juice, can have some profound benefits to your skin, eyes, heart, and brain. Beets are packed with very high concentrations of antioxidants, carotenoids, folate, fiber, iron, manganese, potassium, and Vitamin C.

As a dermatologist, in addition to the general health-boosting properties of beets, I’m particularly impressed by their anti-aging skin benefits.” [1]

In 2015, a scientific review showed that adding beetroot to your diet will significantly increase your antioxidant protection, thus leading to fewer wrinkles and fine lines and a more youthful appearance. [2]

2 Coenzyme Q10

In a small study, Coenzyme Q10 supplementation reduced some visible signs of aging and was determined to significantly reduced wrinkles and fine lines while improving skin smoothness. [3]

3 Flax Seed

One small study including 36 women indicated that adding flaxseed into their diet resulted in fewer wrinkles as well as a smoother complexion. [4]

4 L-Proline

A major function of proline is helping repair damage to the skin by stimulating cellular migration and new tissue development. In fact…

Proline also supports the formation of new collagen which is essential in giving structure and strength to our skin.

Certain studies have found that collagen supplements, which contain proline, can improve skin.

Consuming more amino acids that form collagen can be effective for keeping skin looking younger and proline might also help naturally prevent or treat cellulite.

It can help tone, firm and tighten skin, which is why collagen supplements are commonly used for their many anti-aging effects. [5]

5 L-Taurine

Taurine is considered to play an important role in maintaining the moisture of your skin.

A study found that oral supplementation with taurine for 8 weeks lowered the development of UV-induced wrinkle formation, and…

Oral taurine supplementation for 4 weeks decreased pre-established wrinkles. [6]

6 Vitamin E

Vitamin E plays an important role in immune function and the regulation of inflammation and some evidence suggests that older adults need more of this vitamin than younger adults to maintain health during the aging process. [7]

7 Alpha Lipoic Acid

Alpha-lipoic acid is an organic compound found in all human cells that has powerful antioxidant properties.

The antioxidant properties of alpha-lipoic acid have been linked to several benefits, including lower blood sugar levels, reduced inflammation, slowed skin aging, and improved nerve function.

8 Grape Seed Extract

Skin aging is a natural process that may be aggravated by environmental factors and topical products are the normal go-to for combating signs of aging, but…

The use of oral supplements, including grape seed extract is on the rise to assist in keeping skin looking healthy and young.

Results from a 2015 study that looked at the effects of vitamin C, grape seed extract, zinc, and tomato extract in the improvement of skin showed significant improvements in skin hydration and firmness. [9]

9 Magnesium

Most experts agree that magnesium is nature’s anti-stress mineral and that our skin would be subjected to harmful free radicals and inflammation that leads to aging and wrinkles if not for magnesium’s role in the enzymes that manage DNA repair and replication. [10][11]

10 Vitamin E

In a small trial, scientists found that vitamin E supplements improved hair growth in people with hair loss.

It’s thought the vitamin’s antioxidant properties helped reduce oxidative stress in the scalp that has been linked with hair loss. [12]

11 Vitamin A

Vitamins A is a fat soluble vitamin frequently found in hair, skin, and nails supplements due to its potential benefits for your hair and skin.

Adequate intake of vitamin A helps keep your hair and skin moisturized because it boosts the production of collagen to support healthy-looking hair and skin. [13]

12 Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid) & B7 (Biotin)

Deficiencies in certain B-complex vitamins—in particular, biotin (B7) and pantothenic acid (B5)—have been associated with hair loss, but replenishing depleted nutrient stores can reverse this effect. Research suggests biotin supplementation may also be beneficial for treating brittle fingernails when your levels are low. [14]

13 Vitamin C

Vitamin C is essential for skin health and supplementing with this super vitamin may improve skin hydration, stimulate collagen production, and safeguard against wrinkles and premature aging due to sun exposure. [15]

14 Biotin

Frailty and brittleness of the fingernails are frequently seen, particularly in women and a study on biotins effects on fingernails showed that 91% of patients showed definite improvement with firmer and harder fingernails with the use of biotin. [16]

15 Vitamin D

A 2019 study in the Indian Dermatology Online Journal found vitamin D deficiencies could worsen hair loss over time, and…

A 2016 study from the International Journal of Trichology found that among younger people with hair loss, women showed greater vitamin D deficiency.

“Supplementing vitamin D can often be helpful since most people are deficient—along with other key nutrients, typically iron, vitamin C, and biotin—in restoring hair loss. It certainly helps thicken existing hair.”

That’s the verdict on the benefits of supplementing with vitamin D for healthier and thicker hair. [17]

16 Zinc

Zinc can help protect the skin against sun damage and a symptom of zinc deficiency is hair loss, so adding zinc to a hair, skin and nails supplement may help ensure low levels are corrected. Hair follicles and nails grow fast and turn over quickly and need plenty of zinc for cell growth. [18]
