Looking for protection from UV rays? Heliocare capsules are an oral dietary supplement containing antioxidants to protect against sun-related damage, including skin aging.
Fernblock™, (from the plant Polypodium Leucotomas) the main active ingredient in Heliocare capsules, works to protect the skin’s structure and immune response and also provides a daily defense against the UV photoaging process. Heliocare acts as a scavenger to mop up free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS), particularly superoxide anions, which can occur due to exposure to UV rays and pollution. The formulation also includes green tea extract and Vitamin E to help further protect skin cells.
Heliocare:
- inhibits formation of sunburn cells
- reduces skin changes after chronic exposure to the sun
- helps to maintain the skin’s elastiicty
- provides cell protection in the epidermis
- protects collagen by inhibiting the formation of MMPs
- protects cell DNA
- delivers antioxidant and immune response effects
Over 12 years of research has confirmed the antioxidant and photoprotectant properties of Heliocare. It has shown that the agent is effective when taken in capsule form or used on the skin. And it confirmed that the capsule form has no known harmful side effects.
Heliocare should not be considered as a substitute for a broad spectrum UVA/UVB blocking sunscreen and protective clothing. It is particularly useful for individuals with sensitive skin, polymorphous light eruption (PMLE), those who have had skin treatments or who wish to minimize the aging effects of the sun. It is simply another “layer” of protection. It does not reverse damage.
