How does Heliocare work?

Whether you take time in the sun or under a sun lamp, UV has many detrimental effects on your skin. It can directly cause DNA damage and can create "free radicals". Free radicals are high energy molecules that collide with proteins and lipids in the cell and cause direct cellular damage. Research is showing that in combination with a correctly administered sunscreen routine (see Sun Protection Tips); Heliocare pills can help minimize the signs of the sun's damaging rays.

The antioxidants in Heliocare pills are shown to help clean up free radicals before they damage important cellular proteins. Heliocare supplements are taken once a day and are effective within a half hour of the first dose - many oral antioxidants can take months to build up a level of protection. Additionally, Heliocare is effective in protecting cells deep within your skin because it is taken orally. Serious damage to these deeper cells is accountable for many of the signs of photoaging like wrinkles or discoloration of skin.

Heliocare mixes the special properties of a natural fern extract (Polypodium leucotomos) with green tea extract and Beta-carotene - two very powerful natural antioxidants. This effective trio offers important antioxidant properties to care for your skin:

Increased tolerance to the sun
Reduced skin changes after chronic exposure to the sun
Helps maintain your skin's elasticity
Provides cell protection in the epidermis
Protects skin cell DNA

A closer look at the 3 key ingredients in Heliocare that help protect your skin from the sun's damaging effects.

Heliocare pills are not a substitute for good sunscreen and protective clothing. If used in conjunction with these products, Heliocare supplements will lend added protection. They are very useful for people with sensitive skin, who have had skin treatments or who hope to lessen photoaging (wrinkles, discoloration or susceptibility to cancer). Heliocare pills will not reverse sun damage, they will help minimize it.
