This is How It Works...

Eczema is commonly recognized by inflamed skin that becomes dry and sometimes oozes. There are two common classifications of eczema that cause similar problems. They include the following:

• Contact dermatitis - This form of eczema occurs when an irritating substance comes in direct contact with the skin creating a reaction. The irritant can be a chemical, a cosmetic, different types of material, or shoes.
  
  
• Atopic eczema - This form of eczema occurs when an allergen is inhaled or ingested. This may include a type of food, pollen, dust, or animal dander.

Both of these types of eczema can be helped with the proper nutritional supplementation. The ingredients in Dermatin both nourish the skin and help to regulate the production of inflammatory substances.

Causes of Eczema:

The exact cause of eczema remains a mystery. It’s likely that several factors are at play, most notably, genetics and the environment. This may mean that pre-existing factors like allergies can actually cause eczema in susceptible individuals. Additionally, researchers have identified potential triggers that may make the condition worse and also include specific allergens, environmental triggers, and food (listed below).

• Soaps, laundry detergents, and perfumes
• Low or high humidity
• Extreme heat or cold
• Highly processed foods, trans-fat rich foods, and foods with high saturated fat content
• Emotional stress
• Allergens such as pollen, pet dander, foods, feathers, and even dust mites.

When taken in conjunction with positive lifestyle changes, Dermatin addresses factors critical for Your eczema management - promoting a healing of affected skin, reducing symptoms, preventing potential skin damage, and preventing “flares.”

Causes of Eczema:

Selenium - People with eczema have been shown to be deficient in Selenium. Addressing deficiencies of this nutrient are important as this anti-oxidant may help fight free radical build-up in the skin which could reduce inflammation.

Zinc - Essential for the functioning of over 300 enzymes and also supports the immune system, and skin health.

Omega 3 - In a 12-week double-blind study, Omega-3 was shown to be helpful for reducing inflammation, itching, and scaling of the skin.

Artichoke - Helps regulate the production of inflammatory substances that play a role in eczema.

Grape Seed Ext. - This potent antioxidant may inhibit the destruction of collagen structures which support the health of small capillaries that supply energy to the body’s tissues.

Milk Thistle - Histamines are known to cause inflammation and are supported primarily by the liver. Milk Thistle supports liver defenses and may inhibit inflammatory substances and histamines in the liver.

Olive Leaf Ext. - Contains an important antioxidant called "oleuropein" which can help reduce the inflammatory effects of food allergies that contribute to eczema.

Gamma Linolenic Acid - An important fatty acid, GLA may be helpful for keeping inflammation under control, improving skin roughness, and normalizing blood chemistry. Those with atopic eczema have been shown to be deficient in Gamma Linolenic Acid.

BioCell Collagen Type II - Supports healthy skin function and appearance. May boost skin elasticity and support proper wound healing.

Hylaronic Acid - This is a structural component of the skin and may be helpful for increasing hydration in your skin as well.

Dealing with the skin’s chemistry internally remains paramount for its overall health and subsequent healing capacity. When your skin is inflamed, your body is trying to tell you something. Usually, it’s a message to you indicating that something is not as it should be. In persons suffering form eczema, this inflammatory process is compounded by a number of additional adverse reactions.

Addressing nutritional concerns, detoxifying the body, and learning certain coping skills are all integral components of a successful skin-healing program. Progressive Health is confident and guarantees the efficacy of its revolutionary formulation of skin-supporting nutrients. Dermatin may prove to be as beneficial as avoiding the many triggers that aggravate your skin, as well as any tools you’ve learned to control your eczema.
