·	The first relates to lifestyle, including the required self-discipline and responsibility for oneself, along with training to counteract stress.

·	The second is a diet designed to meet the needs of the individual, which can be supplemented with special preparations containing vitamins and minerals.

·	The third pillar consists of an individual fitness programme, including physical and mental activity, endurance training and vigorous athletic exercise.

·	The fourth pillar has to do with restoring hormone deficiencies and aesthetic hormone therapy methods.

·	Oestrogen: a female sexual hormone, which keeps the skin healthy and lustrous and the hair thick, strengthens the bones and protects the heart.

·	Progesterone: another female sexual hormone, which holds up the breakdown of collagen and strengthens the skin.

·	Testosterone: a male hormone, which helps to strengthen libido and performance, whilst at the same time stimulates muscular development and the breakdown of fat (anti-cellulite effect). As an anti-ageing substance for women, it is used only in small doses.

·	Growth hormones: these have an effect on practically the entire organism, and benefit the skin, bones and hair. They also regulate the distribution of fat and muscle. From puberty on, the body's production of growth hormones declines.

·

DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone): is responsible for the production of the male and female sexual hormones. It reduces stress, and stimulates the immune system. DHEA has a positive effect on the metabolism as a whole, in that it restricts fat deposits. With ageing, the concentration of DHEA in the blood is reduced by as much as 80 percent.

·

Melatonin: also known as the "sleep hormone". It is produced by the pineal gland, a tiny part of the midbrain. By releasing melatonin, this gland controls the circadian rhythm of the body. When the eye receives light during the day, the hormone is no longer released into the bloodstream. At night, when less light is received, melatonin is dispensed from the reserves, and is able to produce its characteristic soporific effect. Melatonin is particularly popular as an anti-ageing substance, because it supports the recuperation of the body in sleep, and encourages the breakdown of free radicals.

·	Vitamin A, B, C, provitamins like betacarotene and trace elements like zinc and selenium are antioxidants, and help maintain the cells.
