As beauty editors, we always have our ears to the ground when there is talk of a new beauty discovery. Even more so when there is talk of a product - in this case, a dietary supplement - that promises so much. And even more so when the person talking about it is someone who openly admits that, until now, he or she did not believe in the supposed benefits of nutricosmetics.
We are referring to a new supplement of Galician origin that is already causing a stir despite having been launched on the market only a few months ago: Optimum Health.
We have talked on other occasions about nutritional supplements with a very good reputation (and very good results), such as Unique's famous collagen powder or Olistic's liquid vials for hair, but perhaps none with such a global objective as this one. Formulated from a combination of ingredients from the sea and the land, with medicinal mushrooms - not in vain, it belongs to a Galician brand, Hyphae da Terra, which has been researching its full potential as a treatment at different levels for 20 years - and seaweed as protagonists, it is one of the most complete food supplements (if not the most), as it acts globally on the main concerns of well-being: beauty (skin, hair, nails...), digestion, sleep, stress, vitality and immunity.
In particular, the Vogue colleague who put this nutricosmetic on our radar particularly highlighted its powerful effect on her energy during the day. ‘Lately I've noticed that I flow a lot more at work and at home, even if I have a lot of things to do, I'm more efficient and I get everything done more easily,’ she said.
In fact, it was during a particularly high peak of work that she began to notice the benefits, noticing that she was less tired and stressed than she normally would be.
This may also be closely related to the improvement in her sleep patterns. One of the things this colleague emphasised the most was how poorly she usually sleeps, something that has completely changed since taking Optimum Health, so it makes sense that this, at the same time, has been reflected in her lower stress levels and increased energy.
And it all adds up: skin, hair and even digestion are all interrelated, so when you improve the wellbeing of different areas, the result is seen more globally.
It is also not surprising that the impact on her energy and vitality is the first thing she has noticed, as these are precisely the areas where the effects start to be felt after the first month - this colleague began to notice them after about three weeks of taking the supplement - while the other areas gradually appear with its consumption. It should not be forgotten that, as is always the case with nutricosmetics, there is nothing immediate, and consistency in taking it (in this case, two capsules a day) is key to observing all its benefits.
It won't solve your life, but it's almost there.
