FARMA DORSCH revolutionizes oral photoprotection with its innovative food supplement ORAL SUN PROTECTION

FARMA DORSCH, true to its commitment to research and innovation in skin care, launches ORAL SUN PROTECTION, a new food supplement that not only protects against sun damage but also contributes to the prevention of cell aging and skin cancer.

In the last two years, oral photoprotection has gained a privileged place in skin care routines, thanks to international studies that have demonstrated its effectiveness in protecting against ultraviolet damage. However, at FARMA DORSCH, we have gone a step further with a revolutionary formulation that makes a difference in the category.

The power of nicotinamide in skin protection

Under the direction of Dr. Lula Nieto, a specialist in Dermatology and Venereology at the Hospital Central de la Defensa Gómez Ulla in Madrid, the development of ORAL SUN PROTECTION has been based on the most recent publications on photobiology, photoprotection, and skin cancer. These studies have shown that nicotinamide supplementation at doses of 500 mg/day reduces the appearance of basal cell carcinomas, squamous cell carcinomas, and actinic keratoses by 23%, becoming a key element in the prevention of skin cancer.

"Farma Dorsch's oral photoprotector has been meticulously designed to meet the minimum necessary doses of active ingredients proven effective in oral photoprotection. Nicotinamide has demonstrated its ability to repair cellular DNA and strengthen skin immunity, marking a milestone in skin cancer prevention," explains Dr. Lula Nieto, specialist in Dermatology and Venereology.

As Dr. Lula describes in her medical report on the supplement, thanks to this combination of ingredients, ORAL SUN PROTECTION acts comprehensively, protecting the skin from solar radiation, strengthening natural defenses, and helping to prevent premature aging. It is recommended to take two capsules daily for at least the months of maximum sun exposure (May-September), although the doses have been adapted for possible year-round use to maximize its protective and antioxidant effect.

Available in pharmacies and specialized points of sale starting March 2025.

4 KEY BENEFITS of ITS MAIN ASSETS

1. PHOTOPROTECTION FROM WITHIN

• Niacinamide 500 mg *
  Helps reduce the appearance of skin lesions (especially designed for skin that requires special attention due to its sun history).

2. LESS SUN DAMAGE AND AGING

• Lycopene
  Protects from the sun, prevents photoaging, and strengthens the skin.
  

3. BOOSTING SKIN IMMUNITY

• Polypodium, Vitamins C, D, E, Zinc, and Selenium
  Strengthen the skin's defenses and improve its sun tolerance.

4. A MORE BEAUTIFUL AND LASTING TAN

• Beta-carotene (Vitamin A)
  Activates melanin for a more golden, even, and healthy tone.

An innovative formulation for complete protection

The development of this supplement has presented a galenic challenge due to the high concentration of essential active ingredients. In addition to nicotinamide, ORAL SUN PROTECTION includes ingredients extensively studied for their efficacy in oral sun protection.

To discuss the formula, we must address the 4 main groups of elements with the greatest action in sun protection:

1) CAROTENOIDS: known for their high antioxidant power, specifically aimed at reducing skin sensitivity to solar radiation, such as Beta-carotene and Lycopene.

2) VITAMINS:

• Vitamin E, which strengthens the skin barrier.
• Vitamin C, which promotes collagen and melanin synthesis.
• Vitamin D, which is deficient in a large number of the current population.
• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): 500 mg* reduces skin immunity against solar radiation and has been scientifically proven to prevent and reduce the appearance of pre-malignant and malignant skin lesions.

3) MINERALS: Selenium and Zinc, also notable for their role as physical photoprotectants in topical products.

4) PLANT EXTRACTS:

Extracts of olive leaf and green tea, with a high concentration of Polyphenols.

• Resveratrol, with significant anti-aging capacity.
• Polypodium Leucotomos: a fern root fundamental in photoprotection, prevents cellular damage in the skin.

The goal of a photoprotectant is to complement the skin's natural mechanisms for protection against solar radiation, as topical cream protection is always required when directly exposed to the sun.

*According to recent studies presented at the National Congress of Medicine in 2024, niacinamide supplementation at doses of 500 mg/day reduces the appearance of basal cell carcinomas, squamous cell carcinomas, and actinic keratoses by 23%.
