Dermastir Caviar Sun Protection - New generation SPF

 

Here comes summer ! We are all off to the beach fully equipped with our hats, caps, towels, iPods and naturally our SUN BLOCK with its high sun protection filter (SPF), for is there anyone on planet earth who is now not aware of the fact that ultraviolet solar radiation is powerful enough to damage our skin? What we may have never questioned is the reliability of the Ultra Violet filters of our sunblock.

Now choosing a sun block with a high SPF (Sun Protection Factor) capable of blocking UV-A and UV-B, is of vital importance because if UV rays penetrate the cells of the skin these may eventually become cancerous. While certain skin cancers are usually slow growing, the development of melanoma may be fatal in short order. We are not to take sun blocks too casually for there are three vital facts worth noting.

FACT 1 - Skin cancer is one the most common forms of cancer today.

FACT  2   -   90% of all skin cancers can be attributed to UV ray damage to skin cells.

FACT 3 – UV ray damage is the underlying cause of pigmentation and wrinkling.

Thus choosing a sun block with a high SPF (Sun Protection Factor) capable of blocking UV-A and UV-B is of vital importance because if UV rays penetrate the cells of the skin these may eventually become cancerous. While certain skin cancers are usually slow growing, the development of melanoma may be fatal in short order.

Another very important, but very often forgotten factor, is the reliability of the UV filters of our sun block once off the pharmacy shelf. A lot of sun protection are stored by the end user incorrectly and the packaging of many sun protection does not help to maintain the UV filters’ stability. Are the UV filters themselves stable to the heat caused by the sun’s UV rays? Does the plastic tube or glass jar in which the cream is inserted guarantee protection and stability from the heat once off the pharmacy shelf ? Isn’t the cream exposed to oxygen whenever the cream’s container is opened? Don’t we ever let the sun block exposed to the sun’s UV rays on the sand or rocky beach?

In its never ending endeavour to produce sun protection UV filters of the very highest quality and reliability ALTA CARE Laboratoires, Paris has launched on the market its DERMASTIR CAVIAR SUN PROTECTION SPF 50+. A lot of investment has been done by Alta Care Laboratoires on the packaging in order to protect the UV filters from oxygen, heat and microbiological contamination.

What’s so special about DERMASTIR CAVIAR SUN PROTECTION SPF 50+?

• Dermastir Caviar Sun Protection SPF50+ has an airless thermal luxury packaging protecting UV filters from oxygen.
• This airless thermal packaging protects the cream from the factors that may reduce the activity of its ingredients, that is oxygen, heat, light and microbiology.
• As the packaging is airless, oxygen is never in contact with the cream and thus oxidization does not take place; hence the ingredients do not incur any damage.
• Since the packaging consists of 3 jars nested into 1, a ‘thermos effect’ is created as a result of which the cream’s filters are protected from the UV rays of the sun.
• As the inner jar of this packaging is metallic coated infrared rays are reflected;  the cream is protected not only from heat but also from light. The cream will not turn yellow as in the case of other creams in tubes.
• The luxury packaging of the DERMASTIR CAVIAR SUN PROTECTION SPF 50+ has also an actuator in the middle that, when pressed, delivers the correct amount of the ingredient without the need to put one’s finger in the cream. There is thus no risk of microbiological contamination.

When purchasing your next Sun Protector remember that a cream cannot fully protect your skin if its very UV filters are themselves damaged by the sun’s rays before reaching your skin. This is the problem that ALTA CARE Laboratoires, Paris, has successfully addressed by protecting the sun filters by a precious airless and thermal packaging. The Dermastir packaging protects the UV filters so that when applied on the skin the UV filters are of 100% integrity to protect the skin.

DERMASTIR CAVIAR SUN PROTECTION SPF 50+ is available and sold only from pharmacies.

1000mg Vitamin C in Altacura not only for cold and flu

 Nobel prize winner Linus Pauling turned his attention to studying and documenting how vitamin C could improve health status and help the human body resist and heal from disease. His reward ? By the time of his death in l994, he had been branded a "quack" by a large part of the medical community. Now, almost 25 years after his passing, not only is his research being taken more seriously but other scientists are documenting how vitamin C can be the key to preventing and treating a host of health problems.

In fact, most everyone knows vitamin C is now lauded for helping to reduce symptoms of a cold if taken in sufficient quantity when sniffles first appear. But what you may not know is that researchers have found evidence strongly suggesting vitamin C can be used to head off some serious diseases and disorders -- and may even help you lose weight! In fact, some of these uses for the vitamin are just plain amazing. Yet you'll seldom find vitamin C "prescribed" and, instead, are more likely to get drugs to treat maladies after they develop. And the odds are, your family doctor may be clueless about these ways vitamin C can help you.

Here's the latest on the relatively secret but very real ways vitamin C can improve your health:

1. Burn more fat and control your weight.

Researchers in the Department of Nutrition at Arizona State University found that research subjects who had low blood concentrations of C burned a whopping 25 percent less fat than those who had plenty of the vitamin in their body. The scientists think this may be because vitamin C is a co-factor for the biosynthesis of carnitine, a molecule your body needs to oxidize fatty acids. They concluded inadequate vitamin C could explain why some people have such a hard time losing and keeping off excess pounds.

2. Breathing right.

British scientists at the Department of Public Health and Primary Care at the Institute of Public Health in Cambridge studied 515 adults with asthma and 515 matched controls. They found that adults with symptomatic asthma had the lowest intake of fruit, especially citrus fruit, and low plasma vitamin C levels. These findings, the scientists stated in their research paper, suggest diet may be a potentially modifiable risk factor for the development of asthma.

3. Oral Health.

In the 1700s, sailors found that eating limes during low sea voyages kept their gums healthy. No doubt the vitamin C in the fruit was responsible. Research published in the Journal of Periodontology showed that people with too little vitamin C have higher rates of periodontal disease. Also, the American National Institutes of Health (NIH) report inadequate C is associated with weakened tooth enamel as well as the painful inflammation of gums known as gingivitis.

4. Skincare.

The American NIH also lists rough, dry and scaly skin as signs of too little C. So is dry hair and even split ends. What's more, research published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that people who ate a lot of vitamin C-rich foods had fewer wrinkles than those with inadequate amounts of the vitamin.

5. Cardiovascular.

While we all are bombarded with ads about omegas and other drugs that purport to reduce the risk of heart disease, you seldom hear about the mounting evidence a natural therapy -- vitamin C -- may protect your cardiovascular system. A case in point: Finnish researchers published a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition suggesting higher doses of supplemental vitamin C cause the incidence of major coronary heart disease events like heart attacks to plummet.

So how much vitamin C do you need? Most experts agree that you can take large amounts, usually up two grams, safely unless an excess causes diarrhea or other stomach upset (if that happens, simply cut back on your dose). Vitamin C is not stored in the body so toxicity is very rare. Vitamin C is best presented in a buffered form in order to be gentle in the stomach since vitamin C can be acidic if not buffered. Altacura Hot Lemon sachets is presented by Alta Care Laboratoires in 1000mg of buffered Vitamin C.

Nicosolven beneficial for smokers and non smokers
 

Nicosolven Coenzyme CoQ10, an endogenous cellular constituent present in mitochondria, is a mediator of electron transport and energy production. Its action as co-antioxidant with vitamin E and vitamin C, by its ability to maintain both products in their reduced state, was recently confirmed by Crane and Navas.

The preventive benefits of Nicosolven are important to people who live in polluted cities or places. Nicosolven anti-oxidant efficacy is beneficial to smokers but also to non smokers as a prevention. The preventive benefits of CoQ10 are well known as powerful anti-oxidants to maintain a healthy heart and contribute to improve immune functions. 

Nicosolven liquid CoQ10 capsules for an immediate effect
Our body can only absorb nutrients in liquid form; all solids have to be dissolved in the stomach or intestinal tract before they can be absorbed. In its solid form CoQ10 has to be emulsified in the intestine, which takes time, as it is only soluble in oil. Our body needs oil and emulsifiers to create a CoQ10 suspension or a solution in order to absorb it. In Nicosolven liquid CoQ10, CoQ10 is already dissolved in oil; thus as soon as the Nicosolven liquid capsule dissolves, CoQ10 is immediately available for absorption. 

One of the main advantages of liquids is that they are absorbed directly by the body without going through break down stages. Active ingredients in liquid form should therefore be absorbed faster than in solid form.

Nicosolven liquid CoQ10 release CoQ10 quickly in a highly bioavailable form. The Nicosolven CoQ10 solution in oil supports its uptake and leads to higher plasma CoQ10 levels in comparison to other delivery forms such as soft gel capsules or tablets. In a comparative study Nicosolven liquid CoQ10 capsules created plasma levels 32 per cent higher than soft gels and 34 per cent higher than powdered CoQ10 delivery forms. 

CoQ10 products are mostly sold in tablets or soft gel capsules. Nicosolven Liquid CoQ10 capsules are a new delivery form with a completely fresh appearance. Thanks to the nitrogen bubble inserted, the formulation can move around freely and visibly within the capsule, adding to the pleasant orange colour and overall look. Consumers like the Nicosolven liquid Co Q10 capsules look which implies higher efficacy, quality, convenience, faster action and safety. Nicosolven liquid capsules offer the chance to innovate in the growing CoQ10 market with a unique and highly distinguishable product.

GFK consumer survey performed in 2007 in Germany with a panel of 100 consumers.

Note to customers about CoQ10 formulation
• Like natural products such as honey or olive oil, crystallization may occur when capsules are exposed to temperature variation.
• The degree of crystallization strongly depends on the exposure to low temperatures. As this phenomenon is reversible, CoQ10 crystals dissolve again when the product is brought up above room temperature.
• Please note that this phenomenon does not affect in any way the stability of CoQ10 in the formula. This was confirmed by HPLC assay on the level of CoQ10 in our capsules.
• An opaque capsule can also be chosen to mask this natural phenomenon.

Directions of use
1 to 2 capsules per day or as directed by your pharmacist or doctor. 

Nicosolven liquid capsules with liquid co enzyme Q10 is available in all pharmacies. Since the capsules are in liquid form, the liquid is absorbed immediately in the stomach and not like normal tablets in the intestine. This may cause some belching which is only transient. Nicosolven is recommended to smokers and non smokers to reduce oxidative stress and to reduce risks that are associated with smoking and passive smoking. Nicosolven liquid capsules with liquid co enzyme q10 are available in all pharmacies.
