Protect your skin against sun related effects and aging

Heliocare is an oral dietary supplement with antioxidant properties which helps maintain the skin's ability to protect against sun related effects and aging.

UV from the sun or from a sun/tanning bed has many detrimental effects on the skin. It can directly cause DNA damage and it can create free radicals. Free radicals cause direct cellular damage and this damage is responsible for the premature aging effects on skin.

Heliocare contains antioxidants which are shown to ‘mop up' free radicals before they damage important cellular proteins. Heliocare brings together the unique properties of Polypodium leucotomos fern extract in combination with Green Tea extract and Beta-Carotene which are other powerful natural antioxidants.

As a result it offers significant antioxidant properties to care for the skin:

  • It increases tolerance to the sun (decreases sunburn response)
  • It reduces skin changes after chronic exposure to the sun
  • It helps to maintain the skin's elasticity
  • It provides cell protection in the epidermis (the outer, protective layer of skin)
  • It protects skin cell DNA

Although topical sunscreen formulations provide varied levels of protection against UVB and UVA radiation and protect from burning, they cannot completely stop all harmful UV rays from penetrating the skin. Heliocare works by sustaining the skin's natural ability to deal with sun (UV) related effects and aging.

Heliocare should be used as an addition to sunscreen and other sun barriers (such as protective clothing.) It is particularly useful for someone who is known to have sensitive skin, who has had skin treatments or who wishes to minimise the aging effects of the sun. Heliocare does not reverse damage.

Dosage

Adults: (no specific study in patients under 18 has occurred)

For Sun Protection: For optimal results, combine with high SPF topical sunscreens and take one capsule daily in the morning. If intense sunlight exposure is expected during the day, take one additional capsule at noon.

As an antioxidant or for photoaging protection: Take one capsule daily.

Caution

No studies have been conducted in pregnant women so do not use Heliocare during pregnancy.

Heliocare has been known to potentiate the effect of digitalis extract and any of its derivatives such as digitoxin and digoxin used to treat heart failure.

There are no known side effects associated with Heliocare. Green Tea, Beta-cartene and Heliocare's unique proprietary Polypodium leucotomos extract have been safely used in many European countries and is now available in the USA and Asia/Pacific.

UV RAYS CAUSE SIGNIFICANT SKIN DAMAGE

The biggest damage to the skin is caused by UVR (ultraviolet radiation) from the sun The skin ages, skin cells change and the sun’s damage becomes more obvious resulting in wrinkles, age spots, pigmentation and loss of skin elasticity

AN IDEAL PROTECTANT


Heliocare is a capsule that contains Green tea extract, Beta-carotene and an extract of the plant Polypodium Leucotomos (a kind of fern) (PLE) The plant has been used for generations in South America as a folk remedy for skin conditions Interest in PLE grew out of a desire to find substances that limited the toxicity of ultraviolet on skin This fern extract was found to decrease the negative effects of UV and this effect would be valuable in protecting normal skin

Green Tea Extract


Has potent antioxidant activity
Protects DNA
Can regenerate oxidised Vitamin E
Beta-carotene
An efficient anti-free-radical agent
Polypodium Leucotomos Extract - PLE (Natural Fern)
Increases tolerance to the sun
Has an important antioxidant effect
Protects immune cells in the skin
Protects skin cell DNA
Heliocare brings together the unique properties of a natural fern extract (PLE) in combination with other powerful natural antioxidants - Green Tea Extract and Beta-carotene As a result it offers significant antioxidant properties to care for the skin;

It Increases tolerance to the sun
It reduces skin changes after chronic exposure to the sun
It helps maintain the skin's elasticity
It provides cell protection in the epidermis
It protects skin DNA

HOW DOES HELIOCARE WORK?


UV [from the sun or from a sun lamp] 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

Heliocare works to turn back the sun It brings together the unique properties of a natural fern extract (PLE) in combination with other powerful natural antioxidants - Green Tea Extract and Beta-carotene As a result it offers significant antioxidant properties to care for the skin;


It increases tolerance to the sun
It reduces skin changes after chronic exposure to the sun
It helps maintain the skin's elasticity
It provides cell protection in the epidermis
It protects skin cell DNA

STUDIES


Studies reveal that the antioxidants in Heliocare work against the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation to decrease sunburn response, including a significant reduction in the number of ultraviolet induced sunburn cells and DNA damage

WHAT PROTECTION DOES HELIOCARE OFFER?


Heliocare works as a potent oral antioxidant 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

Heliocare contains antioxidants which are shown to mop up free radicals before they damage important cellular proteins Heliocare is taken daily It is active within half an hour of the first dose (unlike many oral antioxidants which take months to build up sufficient levels) Also, because Heliocare is taken orally it is effective in protecting cells deep in the skin - topical antioxidants are usually ineffective in protecting cells at this level Damage to these deeper cells is responsible for many of the signs of photoaging (eg wrinkles)

RESEARCH


Importantly, 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 Oral photoprotection is now the focus of much attention, and has been hailed as the 'photoprotection of the future'


DOES HELIOCARE DO AWAY WITH REGULAR SUNSCREEN AND SUN BARRIERS (LIKE HATS & SUNGLASSES)?


Heliocare is definitely NOT a substitute for good sunscreens and protective clothing It is particularly useful for someone who is known to have sensitive skin, who has had skin treatments or who wishes to minimise the aging effects of the sun It is simply another "layer" of protection It does not reverse damage

WHO SHOULD OR SHOULDN'T TAKE IT?


After 12 years of trial and 20 years of use in hot climates like Spain no adverse effects have been reported Heliocare has a high safety profile No specific study in patients under 18 has been undertaken

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS ASSOCIATED WITH HELIOCARE TAKEN AS A DIETARY SUPPLEMENT?


There are NO known side effects associated with Heliocare taken as a dietary supplement Heliocare has been used for over 20 years in Europe

SHOULD I TAKE HELIOCARE IF I AM PREGNANT?


No Do not use Heliocare during pregnancy

WHO SHOULD OR SHOULDN'T TAKE HELIOCARE? CAN INFANTS TAKE IT, AND IF SO AT WHAT AGE? IF THE MOTHER TAKES THEM, DOES SHE TRANSFER THE BENEFITS TO THE BABY THROUGH BREAST MILK?


Heliocare has been on the market for more than 20 years in Europe without any known adverse effects being reported It has not been carefully studied in patients less than 18 years of age The excretion of active metabolites in breast milk has not been established
