I love lycopene for skin health. Highly recommend. It really does give some protection from the sun. I don't get as much of a redneck suntan when I take it regularly, and I rarely use sunscreen because I hate it so much (sunscreen only when I know I'm going to be spending an hour or more in the sun in the worst part of the day, plus I always wear hats after 9a). I try not to slack off on lycopene now, ever.
Don't forget vitamin C for skin. Plus bioflavonoids and quercetin.
Copper, but watch your zinc balance with it. the proper ratio is supposed to be about 2mg copper per 15mg zinc. Research it a bit. I'm not sure I'm remembering correctly, but that's fairly close even if not precisely correct.
Q10 (100+mg/day)
Tocotrienols
selenium (to go with the vit E/tocotrienols)
Silica (I prefer Biosil but YMMV)
That's most of what I take that hasn't been mentioned here already. Sometimes I give the supplements a little break, too. And if I'm eating really healthy, I don't take as much. If you've got a truly good diet, you don't need as many supplements. |

Can't have one. Never tried it, and never heard of it before now. It looks like a nice product, though. Probably worth trying. It's not 'spensive and you can move on to something else if you don't like it.
Wish I could be more help. |

*Barleans Essential Woman (Flax, primrose)
*B Complex
*Hair/Skin/Nails multi
*Pycnogenol
*occasionally Ashwaghanda for adrenal support
*Acidophillus pearls
*Magnesium/D3
I'm like Annie and do the 5 on 2 off... but I do try to take the Barlean's daily - or switch off with a tspoon of fish oil...
... I got to recently trial a collagen drink (or shot as it were - they're like 2 oz each) and I really liked it.. it's just kind of expensive, so for now I'll stick with the above.  |

I didn't realize that about lycopene, which brand and milligram do you take? |

| You can also try taking a daily multivitamin with several isomers of vitamin A. Innate Response is one, as is Ortho Core. |
