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.
Here are some resources for you. Read on for the answers

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.
