The category of anti-aging supplements is vast. There are any number of ways that we age – some of them more visible than others. Be it a degradation of memory caused by aging, joint pressure and pain, skin wrinkles, muscle depletion, or merely an overall feeling of energy, there are supplements to meet all challenges. The question of which supplement is right for you depends on what your long-term health goals are. Nobody wants to age, but figuring out which signifiers are important to you will help you focus on achievable goals and healthy approaches. In general, anti-aging supplements fall into three broad categories, but those aren’t all that are available.
Anti-oxidants
Long hailed as the saving grace of youth, antioxidants have been said to improve wrinkles and other skin conditions, acne, and even improve memory. The list of antioxidants is lengthy, and includes many essential vitamins, minerals, and plant derivations. Vitamin E helps your body reduce cell breakdown by absorbing free radicals in your bloodstream. Melatonin, a powerful antioxidant, helps your body regulate sleeping and waking cycles. Likewise, it’s easily able to pass through cell membranes, as well as the blood-brain barrier, meaning it can have a significant impact on higher brain activity. Vitamin C, on the other hand, helps your body produce collagen, a key factor in skin health. There are many other significant antioxidants, but reducing cell damage, improving skin health, healthy sleep cycles can do wonders to prevent signs of aging.
DHEA Supplements
DHEA stands for 5-Dehydroepiandrosterone, a form of hormone produced in the human body. It is the substance that sex hormones are derived from. As we age, levels of DHEA begin to decrease. The sex hormones may be poorly named. While they do influence sexual interest and activity, they can also have a profound impact in a number of other areas. For example, DHEA has been shown to help those suffering depression, and reduced levels of DHEA are known to be associated with kidney disease, type 2 diabetes, and in some cases of anorexia. By giving your body the DHEA it needs – the DHEA it produced when you were younger – you’ll be able to combat some of the serious symptoms of aging: reduced energy, lack of ambition, mood swings, and so forth.
Hormones
For those who want to cut straight to the point, hormone supplements can also reduce the signs of aging. DHEA can help manage broad spectrum symptoms of advanced years, but natural, over-the-counter hormone supplements can make a huge difference where it matters. The human body reaches its peak shortly after puberty – a time when hormones are running amok. Life can be confusing and uncomfortable, but on the way out, you find yourself in the peak of your years. Getting back to, or staying close to, that peak is the goal of anti-aging treatments. Supplementing your body’s natural hormones with a natural kick can help you feel like you’re back in that groove.
