Heliocare Oral Capsules (60 Capsules)

Heliocare capsules are an oral dietary supplement with antioxidant properties which help maintain the skin’s ability to protect against sun-related effects and aging.

Fernblock, the principle performance ingredient, works to protect skin structure and immune response and provides 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.

UV has many detrimental effects on the skin: it can directly cause DNA damage, and it can create so-called "reactive oxygen species" (ROS) or "free radicals." ROS are high energy molecules that collide with proteins and lipids in the cell and cause direct cellular damage. This damage is responsible for the effects of UV on skin: premature aging and a prematurely lined and worn appearance.

Please note that Heliocare supplements are designed to work in conjunction with sun creams of SPF25 and above and are not a substitute for sunscreen and protective clothing.

Directions:

• Take one a day, in the morning, with food ideally before sun exposure.
• During periods of prolonged sun exposure, such as on holiday, take two a day - one in the morning and one at lunchtime.
• For best results, use alongside a topical sunscreen. Do not take when pregnant.
