The Nue Co Benefits
Described as ‘ingestible retinol,’ this daily supplement helps to reduce pigmentation, dark spots and blemishes. The blend also contains Vitamin C and zinc to boost external radiance and strengthen skin cells.
The Nue Co’s sleep, gut health and stress supplements feature clean yet powerful ingredients without bulking agents. Their latest, Forest Lungs, is a functional fragrance that links scent with cognition to help re-center and reset.
Skin Filter
Whether you’re using a filtered water bottle or investing in a whole house water filtration system like Guardian Water Systems water refiner, purifying your tap water is one of the most important things you can do for your skin. This simple change can help reduce the risk of skin damage, blemishes and premature aging.
While facials can help clear enlarged pores, there’s still an important role for daily supplements in your skincare routine. The nue co’s Skin Filter, which contains a patented blend of vitamin C, zinc, champagne grape seed and melon, improves sun damage, pigmentation and blemishes in just 60 days. Think of it as your ingestible retinol, but without the redness.
Also formulated with everyone’s favorite AHA, hyaluronic acid, it smoothes fine lines, brightens skin tone and blurs imperfections, all without any irritation. The result: skin that looks like it belongs in a filter. Tested in France under dermatological control, the daily supplement is also rich in beta-carotene (which converts to vitamin A) for additional brightening benefits.
Prebiotic + Probiotic
Your gut bacteria are important to protect you from infection and support your immune system. But they can be disrupted by not eating enough prebiotics or by certain medications like antibiotics. This can cause your healthy bacteria to start dying and lead to digestive issues such as constipation, bloating and diarrhea.
Fortunately, you can get plenty of prebiotics from your diet by eating foods such as green bananas (not fully ripe), artichokes, yams, taro, jicama, asparagus and wheat bran. You can also take a prebiotic supplement such as fructan-oligosaccharides or galacto-oligosaccharides.
Probiotics are live microorganisms that contain beneficial bacteria and yeast, which can be found in fermented foods such as kimchi and sauerkraut, or in probiotic supplements in pill, powder or liquid form. The combination of prebiotics and probiotics feed and fuel the bacteria in your gut and helps them flourish, resulting in better digestion. It also improves your immune system by changing the balance of good and bad bacteria in your gut.
Sleep Supplement
Sufficient deep sleep is necessary to recharge the body and is critical for optimal immune function. For many of us, getting enough sleep isn’t easy. Some people have trouble falling asleep, while others experience insomnia and have difficulty staying asleep throughout the night.
Several common supplements are advertised as natural sleep aids, including valerian root and CBD (a compound derived from the marijuana or hemp plant). The evidence supporting these supplements is mixed. Some studies show no benefit, while others indicate small but clinically insignificant benefits for some sleep disorders.
The founders of the nue co found 50% of all supplements are formulated with unnecessary and harmful ingredients, which is why they created a line of products that are clean, sustainable and clinically proven.
The Pill
The pill has been around for over a century and is a highly effective birth control method when used correctly. It prevents pregnancy by thickening the mucus of the cervix, making it harder for sperm to get in and meet an egg. It can also cause some women to have lighter periods or reduce cramps. It also helps reduce the symptoms of uterine fibroids. The pill doesn’t protect against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), so use condoms when you have sex.
It’s best to take the pill at the same time each day, ideally right after you brush your teeth. You can set a reminder on your phone or ask a health care provider for a free text message or email reminder.
The pill can slightly increase your risk of getting a blood clot, so talk to your health care provider if you have any concerns about taking it. It can also cause a small increase in the risk of breast cancer and cervical cancer.
