Reduce skin damage by 50%

A vitamin D-like compound that can reduce the DNA damage that leads to skin cancer discovered

    Australian scientists have discovered a compound similar to vitamin D that cuts down the amount of photo-ageing via wrinkles and dark spots. Too much exposure to harsh sunrays results in photoageing. The study’s statistics show that this vitamin D-like compound can reduce DNA skin damage by 50%. The best part is that this formulae can be incorporated into sunscreen and after screen products.
    The study also found that globally, an increasing number of people aren’t getting sufficient sun exposure in order to produce substantial levels of vitamin D, increasing their risk of falling sick. Besides poor bone health, a deficiency of vitamin D can also linked to multiple sclerosis, breast cancer, diabetes, heart disease and depression.
    Vitamin D is required to maintain strong bones by aiding the body to absorb calcium and is also important for muscle movement, the nervous system and the immune system. Therefore, health experts recommend exposing the arms for just about five to 10 minutes of sunlight during mid-morning or mid-afternoon. On the other hand, individuals with darker skin are recommended 15 to 60 mintues daily. The experts also advise more sun exposure during winters, anywhere between 10 to 30 minutes daily.
