The real cause of age spots: It's not the liver, it's vitamin C deficiency!

老人斑的真正原因:唔係肝,係維他命C缺乏!

The role of Vitamin C : protecting the skin and producing collagen .

·       Vitamin C can protect the skin from UV damage.

·       The epidermis is mainly composed of collagen, and vitamin C is key to collagen synthesis.

·       While topical vitamin C serums are effective, the fundamental solution lies in replenishing vitamin C from the inside out.

Two main reasons for vitamin C deficiency

1.    Insufficient intake : Most vitamin C supplements are synthetic ascorbic acid , made from corn starch and sulfuric acid, and their effectiveness is limited.

2.    Insulin resistance : High-carbohydrate diets or frequent meals can lead to excessively high insulin levels, hindering the absorption and utilization of vitamin C.

Foods high in Vitamin C : Natural intake is the most effective

·       Kale, cabbage, bell peppers, chili peppers, cilantro, large salad

·       Sauerkraut : Each cup contains up to 700 mg of Vitamin C , far exceeding that of most vegetables .

·       Lemon juice: You need to consume 5–6 ounces to get enough, because vitamin C is concentrated in the peel.

Additional benefits of pickled cabbage: the king of probiotics

·       Each 4–6 ounce of sauerkraut contains more than one trillion probiotics.

·       16 ounces of pickled cabbage is equivalent to 8 bottles of probiotic supplements .

·       It helps boost immunity and improve gut health.

Hong Kong residents should be aware that liver spots are not a skin problem, but a sign of poor nutrition !

To truly improve melasma, don't rely solely on topical serums. Starting today, supplement with natural Vitamin C and improve insulin resistance; not only will your skin be brighter, but your overall health will also be enhanced!
