Age Spots

Flat brown spots that appear on the skin as the body ages are called age spots. They are a by-product of a waste build-up caused by free radical damage to the skin. Age spots are generally considered harmless, but in reality they are telling you that your body is toxic.

The cause of age spots are: excess sun exposure, poor diet, lack of exercise and poor liver function. B-complex vitamins, Vitamin C, Lactobacillus, and lecithin have been found to slow down the aging process. The herbs licorice, ginseng, and sarsaparilla have also been used to combat age spots.
