Much like metals, our bodies oxidize when exposed to oxygen, generating what are called free radicals—harmful molecules that, in excess, can accelerate the effects of aging. We have "antioxidant" systems to fight free radicals. But sometimes our systems become overwhelmed by increased production of free radicals, influenced by the environment (toxins, smoke, pollutants, sun, etc.). In these situations, it may be advisable to protect cells from oxidative stress by providing protective micronutrients, such as certain vitamins or minerals. Dermobiane Solar addresses this need thanks to its composition based on Polypodium leucotomos extract, Porphyral HSP®, vitamin C, and vitamin E. Vitamins C and E help protect cells from oxidative stress. What is Polypodium leucotomos? Polypodium leucotomos is a tropical fern native to the Andes plateau in South America, also found in some high-altitude regions of Central America. Botanist Hipólito Ruiz López introduced it to Europe upon returning from a botanical expedition funded by the Spanish Crown in the late 18th century. Product Benefits: 1 tablet provides 100% of the NRV of vitamins C and E. The addition of PiLeJe’s patented ingredient, Porphyral HSP, an ingredient obtained from the algae, Porphyra umbilicalis. This algae is one of the plants capable of surviving and reproducing in hostile environments (temperature variations, salinity, UV exposure, etc.).
