NATURAL SUPPORT TO MAINTAIN HEALTHY SKIN AND DECREASE OXIDATIVE STRESS

PRODOTTO 2

RED ORANGE COMPLEX™ is a standardized powder extract obtained from the juice of three pigmented (Moro, Tarocco and Sanguinello) varieties of Sicilian blood orange grown exclusively in a particular area surrounding Europes most active volcano, Mt. Etna.

A regular physical activity, enhances health and improves the overall quality of life. However, intensive physical exercise represents a condition that is often associated with increased production of reactive oxygen species and free radicals in various tissues. Oxidative stress has been associated with decreased physical performance. Our body contains a large amount of antioxidants to prevent ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) formation or scavenge free radicals. But, supplementation of antioxidants may be desirable to reduce oxidative stress and provide a larger protective margin against its possible consequences.

Exposure of the skin to solar ultraviolet (UV) radiations causes important oxidative damage contributing to inflammation and skin aging. Human skin has natural antioxidants against ROS but during exposure to sunlight, they are limited. In addition, the sunscreens skin protection is also limited because of factors like inadequancy of application or removal after sweating. It would be interesting then to consider the use of nutricosmetics for skin photo-protection to overcome those limitations.

APPLICAZIONI 3

Red oranges (Moro, Tarocco and Sanguinello) are varieties of oranges.
They have a bright orange peel with red hues and a sweet taste.

WHAT IT DOES

Thanks to the phenolic compounds (anthocyanins, flavanones, and hydroxycinnamic acids) and ascorbic acid with antioxidant activity, ROC is able:
● to decrease oxidative stress and thus protect against its short and long-term health consequences in athletes engaged in regular training programs;
● to protect skin against UV-induced damage (cutaneous erythema) and control the hyperpigmentation (melanin production) and photoaging.

STUDI SCIENTIFICI 4

CLINICAL EVALUATION
OF RED ORANGE COMPLEX™

ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITIES

The activity of ROC has been evaluated in a clinical study carried out:
• on 18 sportsmens and 17 sedentary individuals
• treated with 100 mg/day of ROC
• for 2 months (2 capsules of 50 mg/day)

RED ORANGE COMPLEX™ was able to increase plasma concentration of biomarkers related to the presence of antioxidant endogenous substances (glutathione and its derivatives), such as thiolic groups-SH levels in sportsmen (a). Moreover, it can reduce oxidative stress biomarker values to physiological range, as shown in D-Roms test results (b).

BEAUTY FROM WITHIN SKIN PROTECTION

Skin protection against photo-aging and solar spot (Melanogenesis). Clinical studies to evaluate the RED ORANGE COMPLEX™ skin protection against erythema and hyperpigmentation induced by sunlamp exposure:
• on 25 subjects
• treated with 100mg/day
• for 15 days

UV induced
erythema

Clinical trial and in vitro studies proved that RED ORANGE COMPLEX™ minimize skin sensivity and the erythema process induced by UV radiation.

 

 

Up to 40% reduction
of skin UV-induced erythema
after RED ORANGE COMPLEX™
(100mg/day for 15 days)

UV induced
hyperpigmentantion

Clinical study proved that RED ORANGE COMPLEX™ intake can counteract skin hyperpigmentation of solar lentigo and improve skin appearance and homogeneity of skin tanning through the inhibition of melanin overproduction.

Up to 25% of reduction
of skin hyperpigmentation
through the inhibition
of melanin overproduction
RED ORANGE COMPLEX™
(100mg/day for 15 days)
