About This Product

Is Heliocare 360 Oral Capsules right for you?

  • Patients undergoing pigmentation treatment — Internal photoprotection reinforces your topical SPF to reduce the UV triggers that drive melasma and hyperpigmentation recurrence.
  • Post-procedure patients — After Dermapen, skin peels or laser treatments, skin is especially vulnerable to UV damage. Oral capsules add a second line of defence during the healing window.
  • High sun-exposure lifestyles — Patients who spend extended time outdoors — sport, farming, outdoor work — get meaningful additional protection that topical SPF alone cannot sustain.
  • Patients with a family history of skin cancer — Provides daily systemic antioxidant and photoprotective support as part of a comprehensive prevention strategy.
  • Those who want to maximise their SPF investment — Clinical studies show Fernblock® oral supplementation significantly enhances the efficacy of topical sunscreen applied at the same time.

How Heliocare 360 Oral Capsules work — the science

Fernblock®, the concentrated oral form of Polypodium leucotomos extract, is absorbed systemically and distributed to the skin via the bloodstream — providing cellular UV protection from the inside that no topical SPF can replicate. Each capsule delivers 240mg of standardised Fernblock® alongside a targeted antioxidant complex including Vitamins C and E, beta-carotene and lycopene, which collectively neutralise the free radical cascade triggered by UV, infrared and blue light exposure. This dual-action approach — topical filter on the surface, biological protection at the cellular level — is clinically proven to reduce UV-induced immunosuppression, DNA strand breaks and lipid peroxidation more effectively than topical SPF alone.

What you will notice — and when

Immediately: No visible or tactile sensation — the capsules work silently at the cellular level.
Week 2–4: Patients managing pigmentation or post-treatment skin often report less reactivity to incidental sun exposure — less redness, less breakthrough darkening.
Month 2+: Consistent oral photoprotection reduces cumulative UV damage. Patients on combined oral + topical SPF show measurably better maintenance of aesthetic treatment results over time.

How to use Heliocare 360 Oral Capsules

  1. Take one capsule daily with a meal, 30 minutes before sun exposure where possible.
  2. Continue topical SPF — oral capsules enhance but do not replace topical sunscreen.
  3. During periods of intense sun exposure (beach holidays, outdoor events), a second capsule can be taken at midday.
  4. Use continuously for best results — the cumulative photoprotective and antioxidant benefits increase with consistent daily use.

Key ingredients & what they do

IngredientWhat it does for you
Fernblock® (Polypodium leucotomos, 240mg)Systemic UV defence distributed via bloodstream — reduces DNA photodamage, UV-induced immunosuppression and melanin overproduction at a cellular level.
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid)Potent antioxidant that neutralises UV-generated free radicals and supports collagen synthesis — works synergistically with Fernblock® to prevent photoageing.
Vitamin E (tocopherol)Fat-soluble antioxidant that protects cell membranes from lipid peroxidation caused by UV and infrared radiation.
Beta-carotene & LycopeneCarotenoid antioxidants that accumulate in skin tissue and provide additional free radical scavenging where UV damage occurs.
ZincSupports the immune-modulating and antioxidant enzyme systems that protect skin from UV-induced oxidative stress.

Dr. Bangalee's clinical perspective

Dr. Bangalee Recommends"The Heliocare Oral capsules are the only internal sun protection supplement I recommend to my patients. The evidence behind Fernblock® is genuinely compelling — it is not a wellness trend, it is a clinically validated photoprotective agent. For my pigmentation patients especially, adding oral protection has made a measurable difference to how long their treatment results last. I take them myself." — Dr. Rajeev Bangalee, MBBch

What our patients say

"I had been struggling with melasma returning every summer despite wearing SPF. Since adding the oral capsules, I have had my first summer without a flare-up in years." — Melissa, 43 "Dr. Bangalee recommended these after my Dermapen course and my skin was noticeably less reactive to sun exposure during recovery. Genuinely surprised at the difference." — Zanele, 37 "I play golf four times a week and these give me peace of mind that I am protected even when I forget to reapply. I will not travel without them." — Gary, 52

Frequently asked questions

Do these replace my topical SPF?No — oral capsules are designed to enhance and extend the protection of topical sunscreen, not replace it. Dr. Bangalee always prescribes them alongside a topical Heliocare SPF, never as a standalone.
How long before I need to take them before sun exposure?For best results, take one capsule 30–60 minutes before going outdoors. However, with daily use the cumulative Fernblock® levels in your skin remain elevated throughout the day.
Are they safe to take long-term?Yes — Fernblock® has an extensive safety record with over 20 years of clinical use. The formula is free from harmful levels of any ingredient and is well-tolerated for continuous daily use.
Can I take two capsules on high-exposure days?Yes — on beach days, outdoor events or during a holiday in a high-UV destination, a second capsule at midday is recommended and safe.
What is Fernblock®?Polypodium leucotomos extract — a fern plant antioxidant that absorbs UV radiation at the cellular level, reducing DNA damage and photoageing. Clinically proven to enhance the effectiveness of topical SPF.
