CLAIM OF PRIORITY 
       [0001]    This application claims priority to U.S. Ser. No. 61/758,512 filed Jan. 30, 2013, the contents of which are fully incorporated herein by reference. 
     
    
     FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
       [0002]    The invention relates to health compositions, in particular in form of health drinks, capsules, tablets or powders improving individual&#39;s general health, vitality and simultaneously having positive cosmetic effects. 
       BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0003]    There are various publications disclosing compositions and compounds having a positive effect on the overall health and vitality of an individual. Also there are various publications disclosing cosmetic compositions and compounds improving condition of one&#39;s skin. There are a number of publications disclosing compositions for apical application to improve the health of the skin. 
         [0004]    U.S. Pat. No. 8,192,748 discloses a cosmetic composition for apical application on the skin. 
         [0005]    US patent application number 2007/0140984 discloses a powdery product for use as an external dermatological agent. 
         [0006]    US patent application number 2007/0166255 discloses a composition for treatment of topical discomforts. 
         [0007]    On the other hand there are publications disclosing various orally administered compositions for treating and alleviating syndromes of joint inflammation and pain and other health conditions. An example is the U.S. Pat. No. 6,924,273 providing an orally administered composition comprising hyaluronic acid to treat osteoarthritis, joint effusion and other conditions. 
         [0008]    Various compounds and compositions are generally known to have positive health effects and some ingredients are used as dietary supplements: 
         [0009]    Silicon dioxide, also known as silica has the chemical formula of SiO 2 . Silicon is known to stimulate cell metabolism and cell formation; it helps prevent the aging process on tissues and is important for the structure and function of connective tissue. Silica is known to increase elasticity and firmness of blood vessels. It is also known as an anti-inflammatory, disinfecting, absorbing and odor binding agent. 
         [0010]    Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally present in the human body. It is found in the highest concentrations in fluids in the eyes and joints. Hyaluronic acid is usually taken for various joint disorders, including osteoarthritis. 
         [0011]    Biotin is necessary for cell growth, for production of fatty acids, and for metabolism of fats and amino acids. Biotin is also known as Vitamin H and Vitamin B7. Biotin has been reported to be helpful in maintaining a steady blood sugar level. It is used as a dietary supplement for strengthening hair and nails. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biotin-cite_note-4 
         [0012]    Chondroitin is usually used together with glucosamine to alleviate syndromes of osteoarthritis. 
         [0013]    Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is an organosulfur compound with the formula (CH 3 ) 2   50   2 . It is also known by several other names including DMSO 2 , methyl sulfone, and dimethyl sulfone. MSN is used as a dietary supplement often in combination with glucosamine and chondroitin for treatment or prevention of osteoarthritis. 
         [0014]    Accordingly, there are various publications providing compounds for topical use to improve skin health, and to provide cosmetic advantages. On the other hand there are orally administered compositions to improve joint health, bone health, and to improve growth of hair and nails. 
         [0015]    The general elements of the contemporary life style include stress, lack of sleep, less than perfect nutrition, and air pollution among other features. All these elements are negatively affecting the overall health of individuals, and among other symptoms are various skin problems, including dryness, tiredness, and lack of radiance, and so on. 
         [0016]    The instant invention provides a health drink that includes essential elements to improve the overall health, to provide a good sleep, reduce stress and to improve the health of the skin.
