DermaEssentials™ Skin Care Nutrients
Four nutritional formulas in one practical package provide a nutritional foundation to stimulate the skin healing process from within. Taken twice daily, for a total of 14 supplements per day, DermaEssentials™ contain the nutrients needed to start you on the road to optimal skin health. Two convenient packs that will have you taking 14 supplements per day may sound like a lot of supplements, but anything less will not do the job.
A 30-day suppy of DermaEssentials™ is available for $59.00. For $79.95, you will also receive the dietary guide, plus Skin-Plaque Solution™ Spray and Gel, as well! [Buy Now] [Supplement Facts]
Choosing the right high-quality supplement is vital. But it can also be very confusing. Since psoriasis is an auto-immune disorder, where your body attacks you from the inside out, we feel that it makes sense to give the body all that you can in the way of core nutrients. Our bodies need a ready supply of nutrients on hand to function properly.
After 23 years, the AMA (American Medical Association) reversed its anti-vitamin policy and now strongly encourages all adults to supplement daily with a multivitamin. Why the change? Unfortunately, the North American diet, while sufficient to prevent vitamin deficiency diseases such as pellagra and scurvy, is inadequate to support optimal health. Dr. Robert Fletcher and Dr. Kathleen Fairfield believe that "a large portion of the general population is apparently at increased risk [for general health issues/marginal nutritional deficiencies that impair optimal health] for this reason." Consider your own diet: do you consume anywhere near the five-per-day servings of fruits and vegetables required for optimal health? Eighty percent of us do not! Given today's suboptimal diet, supplementation is a necessity for most of us.
DermaHarmony is acutely aware that psoriasis sufferers need a top-notch nutritional supplement they can trust, so we decided to provide one ourselves. We also suggest a sample psoriasis diet menu plan that works in conjunction with our skin healing supplements. Since there are only a handful of companies in the United States capable of producing a nutritional supplement like DermaEssentials™, this proved to be a difficult undertaking. We selected the finest of everything regardless of price and assembled it into daily packets. Not only do our supplement packages contain essential vitamins and minerals, they also include digestive enzymes and probiotics, which are usually lacking in other supplements. We are not the only quality supplement maker, but we know of no other supplement program of the same caliber made specifically for sufferers of severe skin conditions.
Don't just take our word for it. Here is how our formula scored in the most comprehensive supplement study conducted in North America. In an independent review of 500 products available in the United States and Canada, the DermaEssentials™ base nutritional formula (prior to the addition of EPA/DHA—concentrated marine fish oil, digestive enzymes, and the 4 billion multi-probiotics included in our formula) ranked higher than 489 other formulas on 14 separate criteria. The nutritional products were compared to independent nutritional benchmarks developed from the individual recommendations of seven leading scientific authorities. A score of exceptional across the 14 criteria was rare. Only firms offering broad-spectrum protection to many critical functions of the body achieved such high scores. None of the other top firms offer a product like DermaEssentials™.
Most visitors to this website have never heard of the other leading supplement firms (USANA Health Sciences, Vitamin Research Products, Source Naturals, the Life Extension Foundation, FreeLife, and Karuna Health) because they're not available at Wal-Mart, Rite Aid, Kroger, Safeway, etc. They are not sold in these stores because the mass market consumer has grown accustomed to five-dollar house brands and considers them too expensive. Quality supplements are not cheap, but they can make a huge difference. Customer after customer—even the most skeptical—cannot say enough about how good DermaEssentals™ makes them feel.
DermaEssentials™ supplements contain 50 IU (International Units) of vitamin D-3 (13% of the RDA). It proved too difficult to include more vitamin D in DermaEssentials™. So in addition to DermaEssentials™, we offer a stand-alone potent D-3 supplement. Vitamin D may benefit psoriasis patients in a number of ways. Recent studies have shown that patients suffering from a variety of inflammatory conditions were often vitamin D-deficient. A significant number of patients showed significant improvement after taking only modest amounts of additional vitamin D per day. To learn more about vitamin D, see below.

Radiant skin begins with your diet! You may be surprised to learn that what you eat can drastically affect the condition of your skin. Perhaps you remember a friend or family member warning you about chocolate and french fries causing acne back in high school and dismissed it as a myth. In fact, they weren't that far off-base with their warnings!
Vitamin D-3 and the skin. Although there is currently no proven cure for psoriasis, recent research indicates there are numerous health benefits to vitamin D supplementation to support relief from many inflammatory ailments and medical conditions. We believe this includes psoriasis!
Candida (yeast overgrowth). If you were able to gather up and weigh the bacteria in your digestive system, researchers estimate the total would be about four pounds! Under ideal circumstances these beneficial bacteria live in our intestines, performing many functions that aid in digestion and benefit the overall health of the body. Preventing harmful microorganisms such as yeast from gaining a foothold is one of their important roles in the gut.
Omega-3—what's all the fuss? From the American Heart Association to the President of the United States, a lot is recently being said about the benefits of omega-3's. In the early 1980's some researchers noticed that Native Eskimo people in Greenland had astoundingly low incidence of inflammatory conditions like psoriasis, colitis, and diabetes. Here's why.
