HEROES & GODDESSES Ingestibles
The link between glowing, healthy skin and exercise is what led Herb + Flora founders Marie-Perre Stark-Flora and Guillaume Herbette to develop the HEROES + GODDESSES ingestible, with the help of Dr. Mark Tarnopolsky, a metabolic neurologist. Through clinical studies, they have proven that the first-to-market combination of actives found in the formula works synergistically within the body to improve cell function, lower oxidative stress, promote mitochondrial health, and increase antioxidant capacity. The study revealed that this revolutionary formula has the same effect on skin cells as the IL-15 pathway, one of the major ways mother nature protects the skin, by activating the PPAR gamma protein which binds to them and in turn activates mitochondrial health. After only 24 hours, the tests revealed 514% less free radical damage on the skin and a 125% increase in mitochondrial response 72 hours post treatment, therefore HEROS+GODDESSES is protecting the integrity of the skin on a daily basis.
