Dietary supplement protects against sunburn and sun allergy

01/04/05 PL Thomas (PLT) has announced the results of a new study using its exclusive dietary supplement ingredient, GliSODin, demonstrating significant protection against the deleterious effects of the sun. Conducted by French dermatologists over a 60-day period, 150 volunteers participated in this open trial designed to gauge the effect of GliSODin for individuals susceptible to flushing and burns, sun allergy, and other reactions such as pruritus, solar eczema and rashes.

In the study, 86% of the participants experienced significant protection. The report concludes, "GliSODin usage prepares the skin for exposure to the sun and undeniably improves the condition of both the patient's skin and general condition."

GliSODin, a nutraceutical product that promotes the production of the body's own antioxidants, including super oxide dismutase (SOD), has been shown in several human studies to promote cellular health and protect against damage caused by oxidative stress.

The study was sponsored by the manufacturer of GliSODin, ISOCELL Nutra, France.
