NUTRACEUTICALS: 6 BEAUTY-BOOSTING SUPPLEMENTS
“Supplements are meant to do exactly what they say; they work to supplement your diet. Regardless of how healthy you eat, it is difficult for most people to get the amount of nutrients needed to look and feel their best,” says world-renowned skincare expert, Howard Murad, M.D., FAAD.  He adds, “topical skincare products are essential for the 20% of your skin on the surface, the other 80% of your skin can benefit greatly by what you eat and drink, including your dietary supplements.”
If you could have healthier skin, look more beautiful, feel more energized and even drop a few pounds simply by sipping a drink or swallowing a pill, why wouldn’t you? The latest nutraceuticals vow to do just that.
THE MULTI-TASKER

Hum Nutrition is a customized vitamin service. You begin by taking a 3 minute lifestyle quiz that takes into account everything from your current diet and exercise regimen to the air quality in your zip code and even your social habits. It gets evaluated by a registered dietician and your dietary needs are pinpointed and vitamins recommended. I like Hum’s Runway Ready ($35 for a 30-day supply), a skin, hair, and nail support formula that helps achieve glowing skin, shiny hair, and strong nails. It contains fatty acids to help stimulate skin and hair growth, maintain bone health, regulate metabolism, and even maintain your reproductive system, plus vitamin E and high potency biotin.
