Biosil

Collagen is the key structural protein for creating smooth skin, thick strong hair, and strong nails. During youth, you have a rich abundance of collagen. In addition, the collagen forms itself in a resilient “tight mesh” matrix. This “ideal” collagen condition prevents wrinkles from forming, gives skin elasticity, and helps create thick and strong hair. But starting at age 21, collagen diminishes by 1% per year. That’s when the vital collagen “mesh” begins to loosen. By age 30, the signs of reduced collagen on skin, hair and nails become visible.

Biosil provides the building blocks for the body to be able to increase its own production of collagen for stronger, healthier and thicker hair; stronger nails as well as fewer fine lines and wrinkles.

Iron

An estimated 26% of reproductive women are iron deficient. But it also affects athletes, the elderly, and vegetarians, and vegans as this mineral deficiency is quite widespread.  

 Iron is an essential element for the body, and when it’s low, energy levels decrease. Other tell-tale symptoms include weakness, pale skin, dark under-eye circles, brittle hair and nails, shortness of breath, and cold hands and feet. Think you may be deficient? Flora has a time-tested formula made from plants that promotes the formation of healthy red blood cells and is easily absorbed while being gentle on the digestive tract.

Maca

Maca is a highly nutritious superfood, which is actually classified as a cruciferous vegetable, found to support various areas of women's health such as increasing libido, supporting the stress response, boosting fertility, relieving menopausal symptoms, and increasing energy.

Maca has been shown to improve symptoms associated with menopause such as hot flashes, vaginal dryness, mood swings, and insomnia.

It does this by providing essential nutrients such as vitamin C, iron, iodine, and B vitamins as well as important phytonutrients such as polyphenols. 

You can take maca in capsule form in as a powder to add to drinks, baking recipes, or smoothies!
