Skin Deep
Your body is made up of around 37.2 trillion cells, an estimated 35 billion of which are skin cells. Fatty acids become structural components of cell membranes, so it is vital that your diet includes omega-3 and -6 to optimize cellular permeability and function. Both EFAs are integral to the health of the epidermal (outer) and dermal (inner) layers of your skin.
Dryness and inflammation affect the appearance and aging of skin. Omega-3 helps to reduce both visual negatives. It also maintains the strength of the skin’s outer layer, guarding against pollutants and toxins. A regular intake will also help protect you from skin damage and aging caused by sun exposure. AIMega delivers 380 mg of omega-3 per capsule.
Omega-6 is required for normal epidermal structure and function. However, it should come from a healthy source, such as the organic seed oils in AIMega: 190 mg per capsule. Supplementing with this essential fatty acid has been shown to alleviate inflammatory skin problems.
Together, omega-3 and -6 contribute to the natural oil barrier of your skin, helping to keep it hydrated and youthful. So, you can think of AIMega as a cosmetic that works from the inside out.

Why Are Omega-3 and -6 Essential Fatty Acids?
Your body cannot create its own omega-3 and -6 because it lacks certain enzymes, so it is essential that these fatty acids are a daily part of your nutritional intake. Omega-3 and -6 are vital for the growth, repair and function of every cell membrane in your body and for many biological activities, including those that affect brain, heart and vision health.
