Heliocare – a pill to prevent sun damage?
Can a pill a day help keep sun cancer away? that’s the potential of a new supplement called Heliocare, which has been shown to protect skin against the effects of sun exposure.
Part of a new trend in “oral antioxidants”, Heliocare’s active ingredient is an antioxidant called Polypodium Leucotomos (PL), an extract from ferns native to Central America, which have been used by indigenous people to heal skin problems such as psoriasis and dermatitis.
“Studies show that heliocare helps prevent redness after the skin has been irradiated with ultraviolet light,” explains Dr. Leslie Baumann, professor of dermatology at the University of Mimami and author of The Skin Type Solution.
According to IVAX Dermatologicals, Inc, the US distributor of Heliocare, golfers who spend significant time outside should take a second pill three hours after the first dose. At $60 for 60 pills, that adds up – but the benefits could be more than worth it.

I’ve been faithfully using this product for a while now. I also find that I’m able to tolerate the sun longer. Which I am thankful for seeing that my family and I live in Florida. I found a very great site that sells potent pills and is cheap. Its called “kiwi drug” Heliocare. I feel great! Also my sun spots seem to look less brownish. Let me know what you all think of the product! Trust me it does change lives
