Bags Under Eyes

I have heard different reasons why people have bags under the eyes. You probably can find articles on the internet about this. Women put makeup under the eyes to hide the bags and there is another version of under the eyes which is that the skin is just dark under the eyes making you look old.

One cause is liver or kidney congestion resulting in this appearance. The liver and kidneys are each detoxification organs and ideally benefit from regular maintenance similar to the air and oil filters on a car that need regular changing. A nutritional address to these organs is like a change of filters. 

Another unsuspected cause is capillary fragility. You have probably 50,000 miles of capillaries in your body. If their integrity is not up to snuff, these leak blood serum into the tissues. One or all of these conditions contribute to the dark area or baggy under the eye area. This last leaky capillary situation can also affect your entire body as we have capillaries everywhere. The kidney is a special area as there are tiny capillary structures in the kidneys called glomerulus that filter your blood continually. On a blood test this is called GFR for glomerulus filtration rate. The skin is an area where capillaries are numerous and there are many other places where your cells of the epithelial kind as in the skin, lining of your gut and lining of the arteries. The rest of the vascular system also has the numerous capillaries.

One product that is good for everything above is Cataplex ACP. For the liver and kidneys there are various products which we test to see which work for you.
