FAQS

DOES HELIOCARE DO AWAY WITH REGULAR SUNSCREEN AND SUN BARRIERS (LIKE HATS & SUNGLASSES)?

Heliocare is definitely NOT a substitute for good sunscreens and protective clothing. It is particularly useful for someone who is known to have sensitive skin, who has had skin treatments or who wishes to minimise the aging effects of the sun. It is simply another "layer" of protection. It does not reverse damage.

WHO SHOULD OR SHOULDN'T TAKE IT?

After 12 years of trial and 20 years of use in hot climates like Spain no adverse effects have been reported. Heliocare has a high safety profile. No specific study in patients under 18 has been undertaken.

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS ASSOCIATED WITH HELIOCARE TAKEN AS A DIETARY SUPPLEMENT?

There are NO known side effects associated with Heliocare taken as a dietary supplement. Heliocare has been used for over 20 years in Europe.

SHOULD I TAKE HELIOCARE IF I AM PREGNANT?

No. Do not use Heliocare during pregnancy.

WHO SHOULD OR SHOULDN'T TAKE HELIOCARE? CAN INFANTS TAKE IT, AND IF SO AT WHAT AGE? IF THE MOTHER TAKES THEM, DOES SHE TRANSFER THE BENEFITS TO THE BABY THROUGH BREAST MILK?

Heliocare has been on the market for more than 20 years in Europe without any known adverse effects being reported. It has not been carefully studied in patients less than 18 years of age. The excretion of active metabolites in breast milk has not been established.
