SKIN & HAIR Fit Complex with Actrisave®

Our skin ...

... is a protective covering, guardian of our immune system, temperature regulator, sensory organ and vitamin D supplier all in one. It is strongly influenced by hormones. These cause skin ageing, acne and hair loss, for example.

The largest human organ

The human skin has an area of 1.5 to 2 m² and weighs 10 to 14 kg. This makes it our largest organ.

For some years now, the skin has increasingly taken center stage as an organ with complex hormonal properties. If there are corresponding disorders, skin diseases such as acne or hair loss can follow.

In the past, bacteria and diet were mistakenly considered to be the cause of acne. Today we know that sex hormones and stress hormones influence the development of acne - and therefore the condition of the skin.

What you probably didn't know about acne

Acne is the most common skin condition worldwide. Even if acne colloquially appears to be a single skin disease ("blemished skin"), it is actually a collective term for similar but different diseases of the hair follicles and sebaceous glands located in the epidermis and dermis.

These form "comedones", better known as pimples and blackheads. They are caused by the blockage of sebaceous glands due to increased sebum production and keratinization.

During puberty, the increased release of male sex hormones (androgens) stimulates the sebaceous glands, which then produce more sebum.

However, hormone fluctuations do not only occur during puberty - but also during pregnancy, the menopause and after stopping the contraceptive pill. In addition, acne often breaks out during menstruation when the skin is more oily.

However, hormonal factors can lead to more than just skin problems such as acne: Hair loss can also have hormonal causes.

Hair loss due to diseased skin

Pathological hair loss ("alopecia") means that more than 100 hairs a day are left hanging in the brush. An estimated 1.5 million men and 500,000 women in Germany suffer from hair loss. The causes can be very different.

Hormones are often the cause - i.e. the imbalance of male and female hormones - of excessive hair loss. This essentially refers to the lack of the female hormone oestrogen, the female sex hormone.

The vital substances in HAUT & HAAR Fit Complex with ^Actrisave® can help to maintain normal skin and hair*.

The branded raw material ^Actrisave® against hair loss

The patented main ingredient ^Actrisave® in HAUT & HAAR Fit Complex consists of extracts of wild black rice (Oryza sativa) and prickly pear flowers (Opuntia ficus-indica), which can inhibit hair loss enzymes and cell oxidation**.

Prickly pear - the cultivated plant of the Aztecs and indigenous peoples

The prickly pear was already a cultivated plant of the Aztecs in what is now Mexico. The Native Americans were also aware of the benefits of this traditional plant, which is still used today. Prickly pear cactus has the ability to "repair" skin **.

Black wild rice - antioxidant power

The rice plant comes from the large family of sweet grasses. It is mainly cultivated in Asia. Black wild rice has a broad spectrum of fatty acids and very good antioxidant properties**.

**Scientific studies show positive results

Hair" study

Black wild rice shows high antioxidant activity and inhibits the enzyme 5-α-reductase, which is partly responsible for hair loss.

Study "Skin"

Triglycerides make up more than 90 percent of dietary lipids. They provide good protection against the cold in the skin and also protect it from injury. After a two-week intake of prickly pear cactus, the oxidative damage to these lipids was reduced and the antioxidant status improved in healthy people.

Studies "Antioxidant for skin and hair"

The study carried out at the University of Palermo in December 2003 confirmed that prickly pear cactus can protect cells from ageing thanks to oxidation inhibition - in combination with vitamins E and C - also against oxidative stress.

As early as 2004, a study found that the main flavonoids of prickly pear have an antioxidant effect. There are many indications that these "new" antioxidants are even more efficient than vitamins, as they are able to delay the prooxidative effects in proteins, DNA and lipids while stable radicals (radical scavengers) are formed.

Study "Repairing the skin"

Good news for people with acne: A wound healing test was carried out to test the cicatrizing properties of prickly pear. Conclusion: The polysaccharide and low molecular weight components of prickly pear cactus indicate structural and skin repair properties.
