HELIOCARE™ ULTRA CAPSULES: Oral Sunblock Especially for those with Allergies to Topical Sun Screens

IT’S SUMMER! THE SUN IS HOT AND BEATING ON OUR SKIN!
Are you wearing your sunblock to protect your skin from the harsh effects of the sun? You should!
There are some patients who have some allergic reaction or tend to have some rash or acne breakouts when they apply sunblock/sun screen. There’s a solution to that. There is now an ORAL SUNBLOCK that will protect your skin from the sun and you won’t need to apply any cream or lotion as sun screen anymore!
HELIOCARE™ ULTRA CAPSULES contain a high concentration of Fernblock®, an ingredient that provides sun protection during periods of medium to high risk of sun exposure. What’s more, unlike the other “oral sunblocks” in the market today, it offers sun protection in as little as 30 minutes after intake, even on the first dose, ensuring an effective UVA/UVB protection from the inside. Fernblock® protects the entire skin surface, increasing the skin’s resistance against sunburn by up to 300%! Heliocare™ Ultra capsules also contain natural anti-oxidants Vitamins C and E, Lutein and Lycopene that give additional protection against damage from free radicals formed from excessive sun exposure.
Directions for use: Take 1 capsule a day for regular daily sun exposure. For extreme sun exposure, take 2 capsules a day, 1 in the morning and 1 in the mid-day (4 hours after first dose).

HELIOCARE® 360° MINERAL FLUID SUNBLOCK – New Generation Broad Spectrum Sunblock with Additional Protection Against Infrared & Harmful Visible Light

We all see the label – “Broad Spectrum Sunblock/Sun protection” in many of the sunblock creams/lotions in the market. But do you know that Infrared and Visible light can likewise harm the skin and accelerate the skin aging process?

Heliocare® 360° BioShield System of Fractional Biomimetic Melanin and Pro­-Taurine provide additional advanced biological protection against high energy visible light and Infrared‐A radiation. The BioShield System absorbs high‐energy visible light at the skin’s surface and helps neutralise the action of infrared-A within the skin.

Heliocare® 360° prevents the damage free radicals generated by these daily challenges can cause using the clinically proven and patented Fernblock® Polypodium leuctomos extract contained in every Heliocare product. Fernblock® is a natural complex containing powerful polyphenol anti‐oxidants such as ferulic, caffeic and vanillic acid, supported by extensive peer review published evidence of it’s high level skin anti-­oxidant efficacy.

The Heliocare 360ᴼ antioxidant prevention effect is further enhanced by the addition of Vitamin C, Vitamin E & Green tea extract.

What’s more, Heliocare® 360° repairs the DNA skin cells that were damaged by it’s absorption of UV and through oxidative stress. This damage can accelerate skin­‐ageing and impair skin-health, in the worst case leading to skin cancer. Fernblock® FC can help reduce DNA damage and natural plant-derived DNA repair enzyme ingredients in Heliocare® 360° can help reduce the level of DNA damage.

HELIOCARE™ PUREWHITE RADIANCE Capsules – Whitening Capsules with Sunblock in One!

WHAT IS HELIOCARE™ PUREWHITE RADIANCE CAPSULES?
Heliocare™ PureWhite Radiance Capsules are herbal supplements that combine the benefits of Fernblock® and White Tech Complex.

WHAT IS FERNBLOCK®?
Fernblock® is the first oral agent that has shown abilities to quench free radicals and decrease the development of hyperpigmentation. It increases skin resistance against sunburn by 300% and prevents formation of skin darkening caused by UV rays. Fernblock® prevents and repairs DNA damage induced by harmful UV rays and provides anti-aging benefits through enhancement of collagen stimulation and prevention of further degradation of collagen. Thus, Fernblock® is an oral sunblock with additional benefits of delaying the aging process!

WHAT IS WHITE TECH COMPLEX?
White Tech Complex consists of the following ingredients that aid in skin lightening:
1. Pomegranate Extract/ Punica Granatum (Ellagic acid) – Clinically proven as a safe and effective whitening agent through inhibiting the activity of tyrosinase (the main enzyme of melanin production)
2. L-Cystine – Whitening agent that intercepts the formation of melanin, reducing the production of dark pigments. It is a precursor of Glutathione, a potent anti-oxidant which plays an important role in the regulation of melanin production in our body.
3. Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid) – A potent and effective anti-oxidant that interferes with melanin synthesis and neutralizes free radicals from environmental aggressors and prevents collagen damage. Thus, it’s both a skin lightening and anti-aging ingredient!
4. Vitamin B3 (Nicotinamide) – Inhibits transfer of melanin to the skin surface, thus reducing skin darkening. It also decreases collagen oxidation and improve aging-induced yellowing of skin.

HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TO TAKE HELIOCARE™ PUREWHITE RADIANCE CAPSULES?
Take one (1) capsule, two (2) times a day.

HOW SOON CAN I SEE THE SKIN LIGHTENING EFFECTS?
As with all whitening products, continuous use means more obvious results. Usually it will take at least 2 to 3 months for more significant skin lightening effects.

DO I STILL NEED TO WEAR SUNBLOCK CREAM/ LOTION WHILE TAKING HELIOCARE™ PUREWHITE RADIANCE CAPSULES?
For usual sun exposure (e.g. commuting daily to school/work), you don’t need to apply sunblock cream/lotion. However, for more intense sun exposure (e.g. swimming, hiking, etc.), you may need to apply sunblock cream/lotion. The good thing about taking Heliocare™ PureWhite Radiance Capsules is that even though you miss re-applying your sunblock cream/lotion after intense sun exposure, you won’t have any risk of sunburns.
