Ingredient Profiles
Heliocare Ultra Capsules
Elevate your daily sun defence with Heliocare Ultra Capsules, a high-potency oral supplement engineered to protect your skin from the inside out. At the heart of this formula is a concentrated 480mg dose of Polypodium Leucotomos Leaf Extract (Fernblock®), a natural botanical with significant clinical evidence supporting its role in photoimmunoprotection. This supplement provides a critical secondary layer of defence against UVA, UVB, visible light, and infrared-A, neutralizing free radicals before they can cause cellular damage.
Specifically formulated for those with high sun sensitivity, these capsules are highly effective at managing Polymorphic Light Eruption (PLE)—the red, blotchy skin reaction often triggered by sun exposure. While the standard Heliocare Oral Capsules provide excellent baseline protection, the Ultra variant is supercharged with Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) and Vitamin C to combat the visible signs of Ageing. The addition of Lutein further assists in protecting ocular health from UV-induced damage, making this an essential nutraceutical for comprehensive environmental resilience.
Heliocare Ultra-D Capsules
Elevate your daily photoprotection with Heliocare Ultra-D Capsules, the ultimate internal defense against environmental aggressors. Formulated with a high concentration of Polypodium Leucotomos Leaf Extract (Fernblock®), these capsules provide systemic antioxidant support to defend the skin's underlying architecture from the inside out. Unlike standard Heliocare Oral Capsules, the Ultra-D variant is supercharged with Vitamin D (Cholecalciferol), ensuring your body maintains optimal levels even when using high-factor topical sunscreens.
Clinical evidence highlights the importance of antioxidant supplementation in maintaining skin quality and radiance. By neutralizing free radicals generated by UVA, UVB, visible light, and infrared-A, this formula helps reduce the risk of sun-induced Ageing and supports the skin's natural immunological functions. It is particularly beneficial for those prone to sun-sensitive reactions, providing an extra layer of resilience during periods of high UV exposure. For comprehensive protection, always pair with a topical Heliocare 360 Airgel SPF 50.
