Nebezpečné složky v kosmetice a doplňcích výživy – co vyhýbat a proč

When you buy skincare or supplements, you assume they’re safe. But many products hide nebezpečné složky, látky, které mohou poškozovat kůži, trávicí systém nebo hormonální rovnováhu. Also known as toxiny v kůži, these ingredients build up over time and can trigger irritation, hormonal imbalance, or even long-term damage. You don’t need to be a chemist to spot them – just know what to look for.

One of the most common culprits is parabeny, konzervanty, které imitují estrogény a mohou rušit hormonální systém. They’re in creams, shampoos, even deodorants. Then there’s sulfáty, agresivní čisticí látky, které suší kůži a ničí přirozenou bariéru. They’re in cheap cleansers and promise "deep cleaning" – but what they really do is strip your skin bare. And if you’re taking supplements, watch out for předávkování vitamínů, zvláště vitamínů A, D, E a K, které se ukládají v těle a nejsou vylučovány jako voda. Taking too many multivitamins isn’t "better safe than sorry" – it’s a silent health risk.

It’s not just about what’s in the bottle. It’s about what’s missing. Many products claim to be "natural" but still contain synthetic fragrances, phthalates, or formaldehyde-releasing agents. These aren’t just buzzwords – they’re red flags. And when you combine them with poor diet or stress, your body has no chance to recover. Even probiotics can backfire if they’re poorly formulated or taken at the wrong time. The right probiotika, živé bakterie, které podporují střevní mikroflóru a imunitu. can help you detox, but the wrong ones just add to the burden.

You don’t need to panic. But you do need to read labels. Look for simple ingredient lists. Avoid anything you can’t pronounce. And if a product promises miracles, it’s probably hiding something. The truth is, your skin and your gut don’t need chemicals – they need balance. Clean products, real food, and patience. That’s it.

Below, you’ll find honest, practical guides on what to avoid, what to choose instead, and how to protect your body from hidden toxins – whether you’re picking a cream, a vitamin, or just trying to recover after alcohol or antibiotics. No fluff. Just what works.
