Anti-aging food supplements, in the form of anti-oxidants, play an important role in curbing free radicals. Free radicals are aggressive molecules that appear under certain conditions and can cause damage to the body, including the skin. This is why the Amsterdam Kliniek can make anti-oxidants an integral component of an anti-aging treatment in order to also protect the skin. Some of the most important anti-oxidants that can support skin health are vitamin C, Co-enzyme Q10 and vitamin E. Epigallocatechinegallate (EGCG) is particularly important, since EGCG counters the breakdown of collagen and elastin, which give skin its firmness and elasticity.
