SUPPLEMENTS

These two supplements are at the top of researchers’ lists for help with fighting wrinkles and other age-related symptoms. Check with your physician before using any supplement.

VITAMIN C ESTER

By bonding vitamin C with palm oil, this supple­ment is believed to help the vitamin go through cell membranes to target free radicals and stim­ulate new collagen.

DHEA

This supplement is short for dehydroepiandros – terone, a hormone made by the adrenal glands located just above the kidneys. Touted as "the fountain of youth," its benefits include every­thing from more energy (including sexual ener­gy) to firmer skin and thicker hair. Formerly avail­able only by prescription, DHEA is now sold everywhere. It is recommended that 25 mil­ligrams be taken starting at age thirty-five until the age of fifty. After fifty, the dosage is recom­mended at 50 milligrams.
