FernBlock® is an oral
supplement designed to help protect against harmful solar
radiation. In over a decade of clinical trials, FernBlock®
has shown remarkable effectiveness in shielding skin against
dangerous ultraviolet exposure.1-6
Studies have shown that this fern extract has a high
affinity for skin tissue and helps protect against
ultraviolet damage shown to cause premature skin aging,7
wrinkling,7 and
DNA-related skin mutations.8
FernBlock® is a natural
extract derived from the fern plant Polypodium
leucotomos, which has been used as a sunburn remedy by
native Indians for centuries. For the first time,
researchers have created a unique oral formulation of
sun-protective compounds from this natural extract.
The targeted skin action of
FernBlock® safely helps inhibit harmful ultraviolet rays and
quenches dangerous free radicals that can corrupt DNA and
interfere with the body’s DNA-repair mechanisms.1,3
FernBlock® also helps prevent the consequences of excessive
ultraviolet radiation by reducing the number of sunburn
cells that indicate sun-induced tissue injury3,4
and protecting specialized immune cells involved in fighting
infection.2-4
Additionally, it helps inhibit proinflammatory cells that
cause redness and itching,3
blocks protein-destroying skin enzymes that decrease skin
elasticity,9 and
preserves the skin’s intrinsic antioxidant status.10
FernBlock® is designed to
complement topical sunscreens. Topical sunscreens are
effective if properly and regularly applied, especially for
long periods of sun exposure. FernBlock® supplements the
effects of sunscreens by protecting the entire skin
surface and has an obvious advantage since it cannot be
removed by perspiring or bathing.
For intense sun exposure, two
to three capsules of FernBlock® and an effective sunscreen
provide convenient and complete day-long protection. For
short periods of sun exposure (such as walking to the car)
that can add to cumulative ultraviolet damage, just one
FernBlock® capsule should provide protection without
the need for sunscreen.
Remember, for long periods of
sun exposure, you should defend your skin against premature
photoaging with FernBlock® and a topical sunscreen to ensure
complete sun protection. |
