Research shows tocotrienol supplementation has protective effects against skin aging and skin damage, including significant reduction in melanin level. Figure 1: The effect of Tocotrienol supplementation on melanin level in skin
  • Carotene oil: As a natural source of Vitamin A, carotene oil is traditionally used for eye and skin health. Regular carotene oil supplementation is proven to be effective in preventing UV-induced skin damage and helps improve skin elasticity.
  • Dioscoreae Rhizome: Also known as ‘Shan Yao’, is a native plant to China. Traditionally used for digestive and urinary health. With its variety of bioactive compounds, Dioscoreae Rhizome has good antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties.
