10 supplements for real anti-aging from the inside out

Today, I'll be sharing the anti-aging dietary supplements I take daily for skin and gut health; my skin has never looked better! My goal is to get you to be able to go makeup-free and get your best skin. We don't want to cover our skin; we want healthy, glowing skin that we can show off. The supplements I take have made a huge, noticeable difference in my skin, and I am a huge believer that getting your best skin starts from internal balance and health. These supplements are game-changers for anti-aging and health in general.

In the past, I've had a lot of skin issues, including rosacea, bumps, and redness, because I was not internally balanced. Supplements have done wonders for me. This is why I'm so passionate about supplements—I've seen a huge transformation in not only my own skin but also my son's. My son is 14, almost 15, and he was dealing with really bad acne. All the doctors and dermatologists he saw wanted to throw Accutane and topical antibiotics at him. Instead, I chose to do the same thing with his skin as I did with mine. I put him on some supplements and the right topical skincare, and with this combination, his skin is completely clear now. Not only am I a walking testament to what supplements can do, I see it daily with my son. I'm always reminding him to take his supplements—"Did you take your pills today?"—and his skin looks so clear and amazing. It's the same for me. If I don't take my supplements every single day, such as when I go on vacation, I definitely see a difference in my skin. My gut health and digestion are normally terrible, so it's a constant, daily routine that I have to follow to create clear, healthy skin for myself.

I see this happening to a lot of other people as well, especially as we get older. It takes time for gut and digestion issues to build up. It's not an overnight occurrence where you wake up and suddenly have bad skin. It takes time for internal imbalances to occur. But once they do, it comes out on your skin, and you have to treat the inside. You have to balance out your internal issues. My journey has taken me to where I am today; everything I take is for gut health and for anti-aging, and it truly makes such a difference with my skin. So let's dive in!

In the Morning

The first thing I take right when I wake up—even before my morning coffee—is the Truth Treatments Blemish Repair Complex. I will never go a day without this; I love it so much and have been taking it for years. This is one of the very first supplements that I've ever started taking regularly in my journey of internal balance to create healthy skin. This product is amazing; it has everything your skin needs to be clear and healthy. It contains vitamin A, vitamin Bs (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12), vitamin D3, vitamin E, selenium, copper, zinc, and NAC. These are all must-have ingredients at the correct potencies that your skin needs! I've seen so many skin supplements out there that have not even half of these ingredients and are at such low levels. Ben Fuchs, the formulator for Truth Treatment Systems, doesn't skimp on the ingredients or delivery systems that he uses in his supplements. This one really helps with internal balance. If you have blemishes or rosacea, you need to be taking this daily. In fact, you need to be on this daily even if you just want healthy skin in general! This one is taken as three pills a day, so I spread that out to one pill, three times a day.

After that, I take my Truth Treatments Fulvic Cellular Repair Complex. This is another one I take every single day. This is also three pills a day, but I take them all at once to get them out of the way. This product has tons of nutrients, minerals, and amino acids that are all easily digested into the cells of our skin. Everything in here is nutrients that you're not finding in your food. The whole reason we have so many imbalances going on is that even if you eat healthily, your food is not as healthy as you think! There are so many chemicals injected into our food or sprayed on the fields, and the soil is not the same as it used to be. As a result, your body gets thrown off. I've talked to so many people that eat healthily—I'm careful about what I eat as well—and they're always wondering, "Why is my skin a mess? I'm already eating clean." It's because our food is not providing us with what it should be, and we have to be supplementing. This is something I've 100% learned from Ben Fuchs, from Ben Johnson, from other functional medicine doctors that I have gone to. They've all told me, "I don't care how healthy your diet is; we are not getting what we need, and it really throws our internal systems off." Additionally, I know people with rosacea who are using the Repair Complex, and it's helped to clear up their rosacea too.

Also in the morning, I take NOW Chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is an amazing and potent antioxidant that also detoxes the body. I focus a lot on detoxing every day because when you have digestion and gut health issues, they're caused by a lot of toxins building up in your system. Chlorophyll is an amazing way to detox your system, so I make sure to take this daily as well.

The next morning supplement I take is the Cymbiotika ZINC Complex. Zinc is just so beneficial, and it has other ingredients in it that I also really like. It's only one pill a day, and it'll support your cell health and skin. Zinc is important for immunity as well. I think this is an amazing supplement, and Cymbiotika is the best for supplements. The formulator, Chervin Jafarieh (who I've had on my YouTube channel and will be returning in April!), has truly game-changing supplements because he uses a liposomal technology delivery system, which is the best delivery system not only for skincare but for supplements too. It really makes the active ingredients get to where it needs to go. Even with supplements, there are so many brands out there that are lacking. I've had conversations with Cymbiotika, and he's shown me the science and technology behind the brand. It's shocking how so many brands and hyped up and just don't have the right ingredients or delivery system. Chervin also sources all of the best ingredients in all of his supplements. He's gone on searches around the world to get the highest-sourced ingredients. He puts so much effort into these supplements.

During the Day

As the day progresses, I take my Cymbiotika Activated Charcoal. Everyone should be taking this, but if you have gut and digestion issues, this has been a life-saver for me. I love that Cymbiotika provides more than just pills. A lot of the supplements are liquids, so if you have any problems with swallowing pills, this is amazing. It comes in a little pouch that I squeeze into my mouth once a day. Activated charcoal is also a detoxifying ingredient. It actually gets into your digestion system and gut then sticks to the toxins within you and eliminates them. It's the best thing for your health. It helps with diseases that start with toxins in the gut, and this daily detox will help to keep everything healthy, clean, and toxin-free. This is such an amazing supplement that I wish I'd started sooner because it makes such a difference. I no longer have to deal with bloating, and the supplement even tastes good! I take this between breakfast and lunch. It's recommended to take this on an empty stomach, so an hour before or after you eat. Just don't take this with food. You could easily pack this in your purse and take it to work with you and take it when you want; it's just so convenient.

Then right after (or with) my lunch, I will take these next two products: the Cymbiotika Vitamin D3 + K2 with CoQ10 and the Omega. This first product is amazing not only for anti-aging but for your immunity. Zinc and vitamin D are key ingredients for your immune system, so I love this. Again, this uses liposomal delivery, and it also comes in a pump liquid form, so I'll take a spoon and pump 12 times and drink it. It tastes good, and the ingredients are amazing. Vitamin K is also amazing for anti-aging, and CoQ10 is a great antioxidant that is great for your skin cells.

As for the Omega, I've been raving about this for months now. This has the best ingredients: it has omegas and astaxanthin, which provide skin rejuvenation. I've been taking astaxanthin, and I've seen such a difference. With all the supplements I'm taking and my skincare routines, I have been getting nonstop compliments on my skin. I was just getting my hair done the other day, and the girl who has done my hair forever was washing my hair, and she said, "I see your skin all of the time, and you have the best skin, but what have you been doing? Your skin looks so much better!" And it's all because of the supplements I've been taking; it gives your skin that much more of a boost. The Omega is a must because it hydrates your skin from within. If you have dry, dehydrated skin, this supplement is great. Then astaxanthin is such a powerful antioxidant, and it'll protect your skin from free radicals, from the inside out. Free radicals are damaging our skin every day, aging our skin, and breaking down our collagen. When you're topically and internally using astaxanthin, it's just a powerhouse, unstoppable duo. This product is truly a skin game-changer. This one is 14 pumps, tastes good, and you're good to go.

One more that I take in the afternoon is the Cymbiotika NMN. I take this in the afternoon because it has a bit of green tea in it (10% caffeine), so it gives me a bit of a boost in the afternoon, but you can take this anytime. NMN is so amazing for anti-aging. It's becoming more and more popular, and Cymbiotika with its liposomal delivery system is providing true anti-aging at its core. It helps you repair DNA internally. We all know to use skincare products for this—for example, Photozyme MD—but you'll also want to repair DNA internally. This supplement also contains amazing antioxidants; it helps with regulating sleep and your metabolism... it's all-around an amazing anti-aging supplement! Due to all the great benefits, I make sure to take the NMN daily.

At Night

Right before I go to bed, I take the Cymbiotika Probiotic. I've talked about this nonstop because this is a game-changer for gut health. This is a pre- and probiotic, and I've gone through so many different probiotics during my gut health journey over the years, and truly this makes the biggest difference for me, especially around bloating and digestion issues. You can go to bed, wake up, and feel good. I've eaten some poor meals that I know immediately will cause bloating and regret, but I'll take this before bed and wake up with a flat stomach. I love it! I don't know as much about probiotic formulas, but whatever Cymbiotika has concocted here has been a game-changer for me. I wish I would've found this sooner. Now, I make sure not to go a day without this as well. Occasionally I've gone to bed forgetting to take this, but the moment I remember, even if I'm already tucked in, I'll hop back out of bed and make sure to take it because it makes that much of a difference. This will balance out your gut, which has to be balanced for your skin to look its best.

A few add-ons!

If you have digestion issues, another great product to take before meals is the Cymbiotika Apple Cider Vinegar. I do find that my gut is pretty good with everything that I take already, but these are amazing if you really like your apple cider vinegar. I used to take pure apple cider vinegar and chug it, but I found it quite disgusting. This product is the mother of apple cider vinegar, which is what you should be taking. This has the best formula for apple cider vinegar capsules. I've seen some gummies out there, but they won't be anywhere near as potent as this. This is pure apple cider vinegar powder from the mother; you're getting exactly what your body needs. You can take this before meals, and it'll help you digest.

The Full Routine

And that's it! These are the supplements that I take every single day. I know many people will think this is a ton of supplements, but again, I can't state it enough that we aren't getting all we need from the foods we eat. We have to supplement! These make a huge difference in my gut health, digestion, everything I need to be internally balanced, and also anti-aging. These are amazing for your skin. Ever since I started this specific routine, people have been complimenting my skin even more, because it truly is a boost for your skin. Remember: healthy skin starts from the inside out!
