MAXAT Beta Carotene 100 mg + Polypodium 60 capsules

Beta-carotene – natural color, protection and vitamin A in one:

One of the main ingredients is beta-carotene, a pigment-rich carotenoid that occurs naturally in foods such as carrots and sweet potatoes. In the body, beta-carotene is converted into vitamin A (retinol), which is an essential substance for the structure and function of the skin. Vitamin A contributes to maintaining normal skin health by supporting cell growth, differentiation and regeneration – properties that are particularly important when exposed to external factors such as sun, pollution and climate change.

In addition to its role as a pro-vitamin, beta-carotene acts as an effective antioxidant that helps neutralize free radicals. These unstable molecules are formed naturally when exposed to UV rays, among other things, and can accelerate skin aging and increase the risk of cell damage. By counteracting oxidative stress, beta-carotene helps protect skin cells from degradation and preserves skin elasticity, radiance, and smoothness over time.

Another appreciated effect of beta-carotene is its ability to slowly give the skin a golden tone. Instead of relying solely on sun exposure or sunless tanning creams, a beta-carotene supplement can safely contribute to a more even, sun-kissed skin tone – something that many users find both aesthetic and healthy.

Polypodium leucotomos – scientifically documented internal UV protection:

The second key ingredient, polypodium extract, comes from a tropical plant traditionally used in folk medicine in Central America. Over the past two decades, the plant has gained scientific recognition for its photoprotective properties, i.e. its ability to protect the skin from damage caused by ultraviolet radiation.

Several clinical studies have shown that regular intake of polypodium can reduce the skin's sensitivity to UVB rays and thereby reduce the risk of the skin becoming red, irritated or inflamed when exposed to the sun. The protective effect is due, among other things, to the fact that the extract helps to:

Prevent DNA damage in skin cells that otherwise occurs from excessive sun exposure.

Reduce inflammatory markers activated by UV radiation.

Preserve the skin's structural proteins such as collagen and elastin.

Increase the activity of the body's own antioxidant enzymes.

Research suggests that polypodium not only provides external protection, but also affects the function of the immune system in the skin, allowing it to recover more quickly from sun damage. This makes the ingredient particularly interesting for people with sensitive skin, fair skin types, or for those who want to minimize the risk of long-term sun damage such as age spots or premature aging.

Copper and chromium – clear roles in skin physiology:

Copper is essential for the production of melanin, the skin's natural pigment produced in melanocytes. Melanin acts as a biological barrier by absorbing UV radiation and reducing its penetration into the deeper layers of the skin. Sufficient copper intake ensures that the skin can develop an even, golden brown color upon sun exposure, while reducing the risk of sun damage.

Copper also participates in several enzymatic processes that affect the structure of connective tissue, including stabilizing collagen and elastin fibers. This helps to preserve the skin's elasticity, structure and youthful appearance.

Chromium is an essential trace element that is often overlooked in skin care, but its impact is far from insignificant. Chromium is involved in the regulation of blood sugar levels, which in turn affects the skin's hormonal balance. High or fluctuating blood sugar levels can trigger inflammation in the body, which manifests itself in the skin as acne, redness or enlarged pores. By stabilizing insulin sensitivity, chromium can thus indirectly contribute to clearer, smoother and more balanced skin.
