Ingredients:
Grape Powder is very high in a naturally occurring compound known as Polyphenols. Which growing evidence suggest helps prevent skin cancer. A recent study conducted over 14 days, has shown that consuming Grape Powder daily, provides a higher level of protection from the damaging effects of the UV rays and the level of photodamage the skin sustains. The findings demonstrated that the Grape Powder provided an increase in the MED (Mean Erythema Dose), which is the measure of how much UV is required to create the reddening of the skin, (a marker of DNA damage). The study showed that the Grape Powder alone acted as an oral sunscreen.
Polypodium Leucotomos is a tropical fern found in Central and South America which is traditionally used to treat sunburn, eczema, melasma, psoriasis and many other skin conditions. The high antioxidant content in this plant can help lower inflammation in the body which has been associated with the elevated likely hood of the skin burning quicker in the sun and can also help in preventing damage caused by excessive sun exposure. Polypodium Leucotomos also helps inhibit cellular changes in the skin that can cause premature aging whilst also promoting healthy DNA function associates with UV exposure.
A 2004 study at Harvard, tested the use of Polypodium Leucotomos (PL) on light to fair skinned healthy individuals and the results demonstrated a remarkable decrease in UV-induced skin damage in those who had taken the PL extract. Those taking the PL extract had significantly fewer sunburned cells (a sign of tissue damage) and less cyclobutene pyrimidine dimers (a marker of DNA damage). The PL extract also inhibited the infiltration of mast cells (which cause inflammation, redness, and itching).
Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) is the main component of Green Tea Extract. It helps to improve skin elasticity, moisture and smooth fine lines and skin roughness. It has been shown to prevent wrinkles from forming and rejuvenates skin cells due to its anti-inflammatory properties.
When it comes to UV exposure, an 8 week study on skinless rats, supplemented daily with EGCG showed a significant increase in the strengthening of the MED (Mean Erythema Dose), the measure of how much UV is required to redden the skin. It showed its ability to strengthen the skins tolerance to the sun and prevented UV-induced disruption of epidermal barrier function and skin damage.
Astaxanthin is a red pigment that belongs to a group of chemicals called carotenoids. It occurs in certain algae and is what causes the pink-red colour in salmon. When taken daily, you may notice yourself to build a natural tan, with no sun exposure. This is caused from that red pigment. The high antioxidant content in Astaxanthin can help protect cells from damage and improve the way our immune system functions as well support our eye and cognitive function.
When astaxanthin is consumed it is absorbed into the cell membranes and provides a form of internal sun protection, helping to reduce the damage that occurs when we are exposed to UV rays. Scientific pieces of evidence from human, animal and cellular models all demonstrate that astaxanthin enhances the innate sun protection and reduces the UV damage and skin ageing. In fact, sunscreen companies are finally catching up to the amazing UV protective qualities of Astaxanthin and are now starting to incorporate it into sunscreen creams and lotions.
Directions:
Take one ½ teaspoon/scoop (2g) daily, mixed well into 200ml water or your favourite juice or smoothie blend. Allow two weeks to build in your body before sun exposure. Absorbed well when taken with fats and dietary oils. Eg. Can be taken with fatty foods for maximum absorption. Think butter, milk, avocado and yoghurt.
