Pearl extract supplementation – modern approach
Ancient wisdom finds confirmation in modern science. Pearl powder hides at least 30 trace minerals, as well as calcium, iron, copper, magnesium, silica and selenium, which are needed to maintain proper hormonal balance, an efficient immune system and youthful skin. It also contains conchiolin, an amino acid that gives pearls a strikingly beautiful luminescence. In the human body, this protein promotes healthy production of collagen that gives the skin a radiant appearance. In fact, it has similar effects to keratin – the protein responsible for the condition of hair, skin and nails. What is important is the fact that nutrition and positive changes occur inside the body, improving its functioning and affecting the external appearance.
