Age spots are sometimes called liver spots, but they're not necessarily caused by the liver. About 90% of people over the age of 60 have these age spots. Age spots are made up of melanin, the pigment that gives hair, skin, and eyes their color. Melanin protects against UV radiation, but we also need this radiation for vitamin D. UV damage causes oxidative stress, or stress, at the cellular level. Antioxidants can help neutralize this damage. Oxidative stress triggers melanin and increases hyperpigmentation. Pregnancy, diabetes, inflammation, certain medications, and increased estrogen and progesterone during stress can also increase melanin production. Melanin absorbs UV rays and neutralizes the damage by dispersing them throughout the body and converting them into heat. I reviewed some patents for age spots, and they included natural remedies such as vitamin C, grape seed extract, zinc, licorice root extract, and berries. Many natural remedies for age spots contain zinc and selenium. Zinc is good for everything to do with your skin. It is involved in hundreds of enzyme reactions and biochemical pathways and is considered a very powerful antioxidant. Zinc can naturally reduce excess melanin production. Zinc combined with selenium can be very effective against age spots. Selenium is a precursor to glutathione, one of the most powerful antioxidants. Selenium and zinc also protect your DNA. You can use a cream that contains zinc and selenium, or take it as a supplement along with other trace minerals.
