Antiaging Skincare Vita-K Solution

A new antiaging skin care product we came across is Vıta*K Solutıon for Blotchy Skın,  We were trying to purchase Vitamin K supplements at the pharmacy to help with osteoporosis prevention. The pharmacy did not stock vitamin K but suggested Vita-K cream – to be absorbed by the skin. Topically applied vitamin K cream has been shown in studies to reduce uneven skin tones and bruising after laser treatments. It is used in many anti-aging skin creams.

Tested over a month long period of time, used twice a day as directed, we found it to be a nice moisturizer which slightly reduced blotchy, uneven skin tones and facial discoloration.

The ingredients list includes Purified Water, Isohexadecane, Grapeseed Oil, PEG-30 Dipolyhydroxystearate, Glycerin, PEG-15 Stearyl Ether, Sorbital, Dl-Panthenol, Phytonadione (Super Vitamin K), Sucrose Oleate, Propylene Glycol (&) Diazolidinyl Urea (&) Methylparaben (&) Propylparaben, Dimethicone, Magnesium Sulfate, Silica, PEG-40 Sorbitan Peroleate and Meadow Sweet Extract. As you can see by this list of ingredients, Vıta*K Solutıon is not an organic product and contains those dreadful parabens among other chemicals.

As an antiaging skincare product with the promise to fight the discoloration of blotchy skin, it did help to even out the skin tone.  It’s a trade off though with the parabens that are to be found in the solution.

Osteoporosis – Calcium is not Enough

Osteoporosis – Calcium Alone is not Enough

A friend told me she was suffering from osteoporosis and couldn’t understand how she was ingesting so much calcium in supplements and food and it wasn’t helping her situation at all. “I just don’t know where all the calcium is going!” she lamented, telling me that she was drinking so much milk and taking calcium supplements.
