Fitoderm 30 capsules YAMAMOTO

Fitoderm is a dietary supplement developed by the R&D team at Yamamoto Research to supportyour skin’s health, helping to maintain itsnatural pigmentationandprotecting it from the inside out. Fitoderm is formulated with vitamins and minerals selected for skin health (namely vitamins E and C, pantothenic acid, beta-carotene, zinc, copper, and selenium) and is enriched with lycopene, borage oil, and the amino acids cysteine and tyrosine. In particular, copper contributes to normalskin pigmentation, while vitamin A and zinc contribute to the maintenance of normal skin. Zinc also supports the physiological metabolism of vitamin A and, together with vitamin E, copper, and selenium, helpsprotect cells from oxidative stress. The product also contains lycopene from tomato extract and borage oil, which promote skin health and function.

Fitoderm is part ofa new generation of sun care supplements: it helps regulate and support theproduction of skin pigment(melanin). Melanin serves to protect the cells of the epidermis and dermis from damage caused by sunlight and UV rays, precisely because these rays can accelerate skin aging. By supporting melanin production, Fitoderm also bolsters the skin’s first line of defense, especially during the summer when we are most exposed to sunlight. Of course, you shouldn’t completely avoid sun exposure: sunlight allows our bodies to produce vitamin D, which is essential for bone strength, as well as giving us vitality and energy. The key is to take precautions and boost the skin’s defenses—including through effective supplementation—to achieveahealthy, eventan.

Like all so-called“sun supplements”—that is, those that promoteskin pigmentation—Fitoderm doesn’t make you“tan more,”but it helps you achieve aneven, healthyglow while keepingyour skin healthy. During the summer, but also in winter for those who regularly hit the slopes or enjoy a getaway to sunny, exotic destinations, it’s always nice to give our skin some color and show off a beautiful tan: if we prepare and protect ourselves with the right functional supplements, we can enhanceour skin’s beauty“from the inside.”

The recommended usage of Fitoderm follows the guidelines for sunscreen supplementation: you should start using itat least one month beforesunexposure, so that the active ingredients can take effect. The formula contains beta-carotene, pantothenic acid, vitamin C, vitamin E, tomato-derived lycopene, selenium, zinc, copper, cysteine, tyrosine, and the polyunsaturated fatty acids found in borage oil.

Let’s take a closer look at the function of the molecules selected for the formulation:

• Beta-caroteneisa must-have in sunscreen supplements: our bodies convert it into vitamin A (retinol), and it provides a concentrated source of pigment for our skin, helping to promote melanin production and, as a result, an even and long-lasting tan;

• Lycopeneisan antioxidant molecule that promotes skin health and function;

• Vitamin Cisessential for collagen production and has antioxidant properties;

• Vitamin Ehelpsstrengthen the skin's barrier against UV rays and has moisturizing and soothing properties;

• Pantothenic acid(vitamin B5) plays a role in protecting the skin and hair, and also promotes healing;

• Seleniumprotectscells from oxidative stress and free radicals;

• Copperplays a rolein skin pigmentation and is involved in melanin synthesis;

• Zincisnecessary for the normal metabolism of vitamin A;

• Borage oilcontainsa fatty acid with anti-inflammatory properties, making it useful for treating all pro-inflammatory skin conditions (such as eczema and dermatitis);

• The amino acid tyrosine is involved in melanin synthesis, and thus in the pigmentation of skin and hair, while cysteine serves as a precursor to glutathione, a powerful endogenous antioxidant.
