How to look and feel your best on your wedding day!

Supplements such as Vitamin C, Glutathione and R-ALA are turning the heads of many of this year’s brides-to-be’s.

I think we can all agree that Pippa Middleton looked absolutely stunning on her wedding day and this may have inspired you to compile your own pre-wedding health and beauty schedule.

So to help you with your beauty mission here’s a little inside info on how to wow your guests with that all important natural wedding day glow…

Foods  

Finding ways to banish bulges and uncomfortable bloating is often high on the bride-to-be wish list. One food group that can trigger bloating is wheat so cutting back on bread, pasta, pastries, biscuits, cakes and spelt can often help to flatten a distended stomach.

Supplementing with a good probiotic or eating natural yoghurt help to top up levels of friendly gut bacteria which help to improve digestive health. This helps to keep bowels regular and reduce bloating.

Superior Liposomal Supplements

If you’re getting married this year then you’re probably already aware that time is of the essence for your health and beauty regime – you need great results and within your allotted time frame!

If you’re going to buy supplements then it's worthwhile buying those that have Liposomal Encapsulation Technology (LET) since these supplements are able to survive the harsh stomach environment. This means they’re quickly absorbed into the bloodstream and are efficiently delivered to cells, tissues and organs that need them the most.

For beauty mission bides-to-be LET supplements, such as those from Altrient, win hands down when compared to standard nutritional supplements.

Beautiful Body

Let’s face it, who doesn’t want to look gorgeous in their wedding gown? So if you want a little help dropping those last stubborn pounds then look no further than Altrient’s Acetyl L-Carnitine. This amazing nutrient can unlock stored fat deposits releasing them to be burned for energy.

Fabulous if you want to look amazing on your big day!

Glowing Skin

Dry skin, sensitive skin, redness or flushing, thread veins, problematic skin, pigmentation issues, sun damage and those visible signs of ageing are all likely to be on your hit list to eradicate before your big day!

One skin hero that can certainly come to your bridal rescue is Altrient C. This LET form of vitamin C helps to create smooth skin and a youthful glow by encouraging skin cells to produce collagen and is clinically proven to increase skin elasticity and firmness by 61.4% in just 16 weeks when taking 3 sachets a day.

Detox Booster

If there is one thing that will sabotage your natural glow it’s being too toxic!

Leading a sedentary lifestyle along with drinking too much coffee and alcohol, eating too many sugary or processed foods and even stress can all tip your body into an acidic and toxic internal environment which is reflected in dull hair, headaches, bags or dark circles under your eyes, cellulite and a troublesome complexion.

Help is at hand in the form of LET Glutathione as this clever nutrient supports liver detoxification and literally helps to give your body an internal spring clean.

Oh, and if you have one too many glasses of champagne at your wedding reception then it’s worth packing a couple of sachet of the Altrient Glutathione to help sweep away a potential hangover!

Energy Re-vamp

It’s not unusual to cut back on calories in an attempt to be slim and trim in your bridal gown, however this can come at the cost of energy slumps and episodes of fatigue.

The weeks leading up to your wedding can be very demanding on your energy reserves and the wedding day itself also requires a high level of energy. There are two sets of nutrients that help to fire-up tired cells and switch on energy production even when you are feeling depleted and these are the B-vitamins and Alpha Lipoic Acid (R-ALA).

The good news is that both of these are now available in LET from Altrient and can really make a difference to your energy reserves.

If you already suffer from fatigue then it’s a good idea to take both of these in the weeks, or better still, months leading up to your special day so that you can find the reserves to catch up with all your guests and dance the night away with your very own Mr.Darcy.
