Golan Raz explaining the role for carotenoids in combating time.
This is my wires at Vita Foods Europe in Geneva and I'm here with Golan Raz from Lycore.
Golan, you're really presenting the kind of potential for carotenoids such as lycopene from a from a skin health perspective.
Can you maybe speak a little bit about what you're, what you're doing and what some of the potential is here?
Absolutely.
Over the last few years.
Focused a lot of our passion towards how carotenoids, when you bring them together, can benefit your skin, and some of the things we have discovered and learned through the years are really fascinating.
We have learned that when you put carotenoids together, carotenoids like glycopene, phytofluen, phytoen.
Glutene and even Azteanin, when you bring them together in the right dosage, you can get amazing result and hopefully get to the sweet point in which 1 + 1 equals more than 10.
The whole idea is that you need to use.
As less as possible in order to achieve the maximum results.
OK, you have a nice fun way of presenting this here at the show.
Maybe you can talk us through that.
Absolutely.
So what we have here is, what, what seems to be a fun and interactive way to explain the mechanism of action behind carotenoids, natural carotenoids, and specifically Lycodermma, our product.
The way it works is that the balls, these balls represent, the natural carotenoids and the way they are being supplemented through nutrition to one's bloodstream and from there to the skin.
So what we would like to do is to nourish the skin with the right level of natural carotenoids that will act in synergy to protect the skin.
So that's what we do.
And these little blue balls represent the sun, so it represents UVA, UVB, visible light, etc.
And what we show is the following.
When the sun meets a skin that is nourished with natural carotenoids, what happens is that it's being blocked.
It's, it's being, yeah?
It's being blocked by the nutrients that are in the skin, while when one has a lower level of paratenoids in their blood and therefore in the different layers of the skin, the sun and other environmental risks can access the deeper layer of the skin and by doing that affect, the way we age, increase inflammation of the skin, and so on.
So the whole idea is to sustainably create a 365 days a year.
Natural sun protection and To enhance the process of beautiful aging.
The other areas you're looking at are synergies between carotenoids.
What can you say about that?
Absolutely.
So the whole program is actually based on the idea that 1 + 1 equals more than 2, and by bringing the right carotenoids together at the right dosage, we are specifically pointing to create a synergistic effect.
In this case, we Bringing three major carotenoids.
The first one is glycopene, and the other two are phytoen and phytofluen, which when you combine them together, they provide a really nice internal defense mechanism for different environmental damages from sun exposure and towards other potential environmental risks.
Thank you very much.
