At Nervana Medical in Sandy, Utah, we understand that healthy, youthful-looking skin begins from the inside out. Along with professional aesthetic treatments, nutraceuticals, also called “functional foods” or dietary supplements, can play a key role in supporting skin health, collagen production, and overall wellness. Our Skin Health Nutraceutical Protocol combines clinically studied supplements that promote skin elasticity, hydration, and repair while also supporting joint, immune, and cellular health.
Why Nutraceuticals Matter for Skin Health
Nutraceuticals provide targeted benefits that go beyond basic nutrition. Many contain antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and collagen-boosting properties that help protect the skin from premature aging, environmental stressors, and inflammation. By including nutraceuticals in your daily routine, you can improve the results of both your skincare and aesthetic treatments.
Key Nutraceuticals for Skin Health
Collagen
Collagen is the structural protein that keeps skin firm and smooth. As natural collagen production decreases with age, fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity increase.
- Collagen supplements help restore elasticity and promote youthful skin.
- CollaGEN includes FORTIGEL®, Tendaxion®, and Mobilee®, which are clinically proven to support skin, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and fascia, offering both cosmetic and joint health benefits.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Omega-3s are essential for maintaining skin hydration, reducing inflammation, and protecting the skin barrier. They also provide cardiovascular, joint, and mental health support.
- Ortho Omega Select EPA is a concentrated omega-3 supplement that helps maintain healthy skin membranes, balance inflammation, and support musculoskeletal integrity.
Probiotics
Gut health and skin health are closely connected. Probiotics can help reduce acne, inflammation, and skin barrier dysfunction by balancing the gut microbiome.
- Ortho Biotic delivers seven probiotic strains and Saccharomyces boulardii to strengthen immunity, restore microbiome balance, and promote clearer, healthier skin.
Mitochondrial Support
Healthy skin depends on strong cellular energy production. Nutrients that support mitochondrial health improve skin resilience and slow visible signs of aging.
- MitoCORE combines alpha lipoic acid, acetyl L-carnitine, N-acetyl cysteine, vitamins, minerals, electrolytes, and green tea extract to enhance cellular repair and energy.
Reacted Zinc
Zinc is important for wound healing, reducing inflammation, and improving overall skin health. It also offers benefits for patients receiving neuromodulator treatments such as Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, or Xeomin.
- Clinical studies show that zinc supplementation may increase the effectiveness and longevity of botulinum toxin treatments by nearly 30 percent when combined with phytase. This makes zinc a valuable part of both skin health and aesthetic treatment protocols.
Lifestyle and Nutraceuticals for Best Results
Nutraceuticals are most effective when combined with a healthy lifestyle. Staying hydrated, eating a diet rich in antioxidants, exercising regularly, and protecting skin from excessive sun exposure all improve results. Supplements are not a replacement for good nutrition or skincare, but they can greatly enhance the outcomes when paired with professional treatments at Nervana Medical.
