Deep Greens
"Spinach, chard, kale, sea greens, spirulina and the like are nutrient-dense and support liver health and detoxification. Spirulina specifically contains all essential amino acids, which are building blocks for collagen, neurotransmitters, protein and more. Greens make a great source of iron, which is critical for healthy skin and hair. Pair greens with citrus to better absorb the iron." -Rachelle Robinett, registered herbalist, founder of Pharmakon Supernatural and GEM advisor

Aloe
"Aloe has cooling and anti-inflammatory benefits and helps produce collagen and elastin fibers. The gel or juice (without added sugar!) is excellent for gut health as well as use in calming and healing skin topically." -Rachelle Robinett

Omega Oils
"These oils, found in fatty fish like wild caught salmon, are converted into compounds that participate in anti-inflammatory skin responses and cellular responses to ultraviolet rays helping to prevent aging from ultraviolet radiation. Omega-3s increase protein and collagen synthesis and modulate collagen signaling. Besides oily fish, you can find them in raw nuts and seeds, avocado, flax and the oils derived from these. A little bit goes a long way!" -Rachelle Robinett
