The #1 Deficiency behind Aging Spots

In this video, we’re going to talk about the causes and remedies of aging spots. Aging spots are sometimes called liver spots, but they’re not necessarily caused by the liver. Around 90% of people over 60 have these age spots.

Age spots are composed of melanin, the pigment that gives hair, skin, and eyes their color. Melanin protects against UV radiation, but we also need this radiation for vitamin D.

UV damage causes oxidative stress, or stress that occurs at the cellular level. Antioxidants can help neutralize this damage.

Oxidative stress triggers melanin and increases hyperpigmentation. Increased estrogen and progesterone during pregnancy, diabetes, inflammation, certain drugs, and stress can also increase melanin production.

Melanin absorbs UV rays and neutralizes the damage by dispersing it through the body and turning it into heat.

I reviewed some of the patents for age spot remedies, and they included natural remedies such as vitamin C, grape seed extract, zinc, licorice extract, and berries.

Many natural remedies for age spots include zinc and selenium. Zinc is good for everything related to your skin. It’s involved in hundreds of enzyme reactions and biochemical pathways and is considered a very powerful antioxidant. Zinc can naturally lower excess melanin production.

Zinc combined with selenium can be very effective against age spots. Selenium is a precursor to glutathione, one of the most powerful antioxidants. Selenium and zinc also protect your DNA. You can use a cream with zinc and selenium or take them as a supplement combined with other trace minerals.
