A natural progression from vitamin enriched external beauty products, Perfectil advanced nutrient tablets have been developed by doctors, with input from nutritionists at the University of Reading, Department of Nutrition, to provide deep nourishment for skin, scalp, and nail tissues. <br><br> Each tablet contains 24 nutrients to help maintain optimal cell maintenance and cell renewal, along with antioxidants to help protect delicate tissues from the ageing effects of the sun. For radiant beauty, Perfectil also provides natural plant extracts with a proven role in maintaining a healthy complexion, and vitamins and minerals essential to healthy blood circulation and strong tissue formation.<br><br>Antioxidant vitamins C, E and beta-carotene are included in the Perfectil formula, are "valuable agents" in preventing such damage. Vitamin C is particularly important since it plays an integral role in collagen synthesis - the substance that keeps skin supple and taut. Carotenoids, which are natural protectors found in fruit and vegetables, also help bolster the skin's resistance to UV damage. Carotenoids work through a "parasol" effect, in which UV light is scattered, rather like a natural parasol, and can counteract the UV-induced alteration of the immune system.As well as providing antioxidant defence, the nutrients in Perfectil work to help maintain strong hair and nails. <br><br>Many products claim to repair hair and nails from the outside, but for maximum effect, nutrients should reach the skin and scalp tissues via the blood stream, where they can act at a deeper level. <br><br>Perfectil provides a full spectrum of key nutrients for hair and nail formation, including B vitamins which may help reduce nail fragility, excessive dryness and ridges, and minerals such as selenium, silicon and zinc, which are important for nail development and strength. Biotin and copper, essential to hair growth and hair follicle formation, are also included. In a trial conducted over a three month period, 84% of women found Perfectil to be effective in helping to improve the growth and strength of their nails.
