Overview
Brief Summary
The skin is a major protective organ of the body. It is constantly exposed to the environment
and is very resilient. But exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun results in the
production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and subsequent inflammatory responses that can
overwhelm the innate protective mechanisms of the skin. This results in damage and
premature aging. Strategies to mitigate this premature photoaging might include avoidance of
sunlight. However, some sunlight exposure is beneficial to health. One notable example of this
is the production of vitamin D. A more practical approach to preventing adverse effects of UV
light in the skin is antioxidant supplementation. Dietary antioxidants may help control ROS
propagation following UV light exposure. To further evaluate the utility of antioxidants in
protecting the skin a study will be required.
This study will be carried out to evaluate Safety and Efficacy of Oral Sun Protection
Nutraceutical Tablet in Men and Women with Melasma using objective instrument
measurements, clinical evaluation and subjective self-assessment.
