Our skin is exposed to light every day. Ultraviolet rays can be harmful to her. There are several topical sun protection products available, but after decades of use they have been shown to be insufficient to optimally protect our skin against UV rays. What if the best protection had to be approached holistically? In order to test this innovative approach, Monteloeder has developed NutroxSun®, an endogenous sun protection solution for the skin.
UV rays: first and major risk factors for skin aging
UV rays, combined with air pollutants, significantly increase skin sensitivity and irritation, and even the risk of developing skin cancer.
In fact, the skin is affected by exposure to UV rays at different levels. They alter the barrier and protective function of the skin. The body is therefore overexposed to various deleterious external agents. In addition, oxidative stress on the skin is increased, which promotes the appearance of wrinkles as well as hyperpigmentation. Also, the skin becomes hypersensitive, its inflammatory responses multiply. Finally, UVs degrade the collagen in the skin excessively. The skin epidermis therefore loses its firmness.
Dermo-photoprotection: an area traditionally reserved for topical sunscreens
The disadvantages of classical exogenous protection
When we think of “sunscreen”, we think of “summer”! Exogenous sunscreen products are generally used by consumers seasonally, in this case during the summer, when they are exposed to UVs throughout the year. 80% of exposure to the sun, therefore to UVA, occurs in normal daily life, all seasons combined, which means that our skin is not protected much of the year.
Another disadvantage of topical sunscreens is that they are often affected by washing, sweating or rubbing the skin against textiles. The skin is once again unprotected.
We are also finding that consumers are not applying topical sunscreen optimally. Indeed, for a good insulation of the skin, it is necessary to apply 2 mg of sunscreen per cm² of skin, but it turns out that most consumers do not respect these recommendations. Indeed, these would only apply 25% to 50% of the recommended amounts.
Finally, one of the limitations of topical sunscreen products is that they do not provide any biological protection.
The need for global, exogenous and endogenous protection
Exogenous sun protection products thus show several limits. On their own, they do not provide sufficient sun protection for the skin. The latter necessarily needs comprehensive care: exogenous and endogenous!
It is with this holistic perspective that Monteloeder thought of developing a solution that would complement the sun protection action of the topical products usually used.
Nutroxsun®: the new concept of endogenous sun protection
The oral solution from the Mediterranean for sun protection
Nutroxsun® is the solution provided by Monteloeder for optimized sun protection.
Intended for oral intake, this patented nutraceutical ingredient was inspired by Mediterranean plants to provide the necessary resistance against solar rays and which these plants have acquired to withstand high exposure in the Mediterranean.
Indeed, Rosemary and Mediterranean Grapefruit, two thousand-year-old plants living on the edge of the Mediterranean Sea, are endowed with an exceptional capacity for adaptation which has enabled them to survive in an environment with very high solar exposure. This phenomenon is named. It is on these bases that Monteloeder developed Nutroxsun®, to provide the skin with endogenous protection as effective as that used by these plants.
Why did you choose rosemary and grapefruit among all the Mediterranean plants?
Before making this choice, Monteloeder compared the protective effect against UVB irradiation of several botanical extracts.
To do this, several cells were treated with different extracts (at 25 and 75 μg / mL), followed by treatment with UVB light at 800 J / m2. Controls without irradiation were carried out in order to test the cytotoxicity of the extracts (dark orange bars).
Why is Nutroxsun® the best supplement to sunscreen?
Several clinical studies on large groups of patients have demonstrated the beneficial effects of Nutroxsun® on the protection of the skin against UVs.
Indeed, having anti-aging effects, its ability to accelerate the healing of a sun burn and its power to reduce the skin’s exposure to UVBs make Nutroxsun® the best complement to a sunscreen. solar.
More than 10 years of research and development
To achieve these results, Monteloeder carried out more than ten years of studies before publishing conclusive results on the effectiveness of its product.
Scientifically proven results
Monteloeder’s clinical studies yielded the following results:
● Nutroxsun® protects human keratinocytes against cell death induced by UVBs rays.
● Nutroxsun® inhibits the formation of ROS in human keratinocytes exposed to UVB rays, NutroxSun® is a good cellular antioxidant.
● Nutroxsun® reduces strand breaks caused by UVBs in the DNA of human keratinocytes. NutroxSun® is a good protector of DNA by preventing damage which is often difficult to repair by the cellular machinery.
● Nutroxsun® increases the minimum dose necessary to cause erythema by 34% after 2 months and 56% after 3 months, which means that it significantly increases protection against UVs.
In short, Nutroxsun® prevents cell damage and inhibits DNA damage.
Two days efficacy
Nutroxsun® allows you to recover from erythemal sunburn faster with just 2 days of treatment!
CANADA APPROVED CLAIMS IN 2016 FOR A DOSAGE OF 100 mg
