Sunscreen pills are not yet available for complete UV protection, but they offer more protection than lotions and creams. They contain vitamins, organic chemicals, and antioxidants that help prevent skin damage from the inside out, but cannot replace sunscreen lotions or creams.
Sunscreen pills that offer unique and complete protection against UV rays are not yet available to the public, but there are pills on the market that are meant to be used in addition to lotions and creams. They offer more protection than other products, which most users do not put on correctly. It is believed that the consequences of not applying sunscreen lotion evenly or as often as necessary are neutralized by the use of these pills.
The pills currently available are designed to protect the skin from sun damage from the inside out. The biggest concern with spending too much time in the sun is that DNA is damaged by UV exposure. When this happens, the cells can potentially begin to grow abnormally, resulting in sagging of the skin. Sunscreen pills don’t protect or block UV rays like lotions do, but they do strengthen and help prevent the skin’s DNA from being damaged in the sun at the cellular level.
Sunscreen pills are generally made up of vitamins, organic chemicals, and antioxidants found in many foods. These ingredients are conveniently concentrated and often include vitamins A, C, D, and E; selenium, which is a photoelectric chemical; para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), a type of folic acid that absorbs ultraviolet light; and antioxidants found in green tea, carrots, beets, and pomegranates that have been shown to help fight cancer. While it is possible to get all of these nutrients through your diet, that would be very difficult. Each brand of pill contains its own combination and concentrations of various ingredients.
Consumers cannot use these pills to replace sunscreen lotions or creams because they have not been shown to be effective when used alone. Many people who have tried them believe they are beneficial in preventing sunburn, which is a sign of skin damage. Taking the pills daily as a dietary supplement can help prevent at least some damage, and the ingredients they contain are healthy for many body systems besides the skin.
