make it a delicious snack you only take once a day (or twice in highsun situations like if yoursquore going to the beach)

And Irsquom not the only one whorsquos excited ndash their Indigogo fundraisingcampaign has raised 520 per cent over the cash they neededtotalling over $104000USD

So how exactly do Sundots Sungummieswork

The active ingredient in the gummies they claim helps protect yourskin from sun damage is called polypodium leucotomos which isextracted from a fern native to Central and South America

According to Sundots there have been over a dozen human studiesthat show when taken every day the fern ldquohelps to provide all-over protection from sun damage by strengthening your skin cellsability to resist UV harmrdquo

The people behind the gummies have some serious medical chopsCo-founder Dr Emilia Javorsky is a dermatology researcher atHarvard Medical School and was listed in Forbes 30 under 30 in theHealthcare category

So far so good right But then I tend to sit firmly in the camp of ldquoIfit sounds too good to be true it probably isrdquo

Could this be a repeat of the Theranos fiasco where founderElizabeth Holmes (who was at one stage Americarsquos youngestbillionaire) over hyped the blood testing company claiming itcould test for hundreds of diseases with a single drop of blood fromthe finger except that it couldnrsquot and now itrsquos been fined for fraud

Irsquom really hoping not but itrsquos worth keeping in mind that thestudies done are really small which isnrsquot great as they donrsquot alwaysrepresent what might happen in the majority of people

One study of only 10 people and showed strong trends that the Pleucotomos treatment was helpful but it wasnrsquot considered to bestatistically significant Similarly another study of only 22 peopleonly checked the reaction of the skin immediately aer beingexposed to the UV light treatment and again 24 hours aer theexposure

This means that to be eective the Sungummies would need to beconsumed every day to infer protection and letrsquos face it most of usare pretty rotten at remembering to take pills daily

It is also interesting to note that five out of the 10 researchersinvolved in the study were working for Ferndale Laboratories whosell their own version of Sungummies called Helicocare This is apotential conflict of interest which may make the way the resultsare presented more favourable to the benefits of P leucotomos

Itrsquos also hard to test how eective naturersquos goodies are as sunprotectors Tomatoes pomegranate seeds green tea berries andcacao are high in antioxidants and compounds called polyphenolsthat are touted to have sun protection qualities

Many people also believe that coconut oil (and some other plantoils) has a natural SPF of 4 But studies have shown coconut oil tobe closer to SPF 1 and that it is not eective in blocking UVabsorption

Can Sungummies replace sunsceen

Sundots do advise that the gummies arenrsquot designed to be usedalone rather as a complement to protective clothing andsunscreen

Itrsquos good advice because the reality is we live in Australia which isto say we live in a country with a sun that shines brighter than Kate

So always choose to wear a sunscreen and one that is free frompotentially toxic chemicals such as oxybenzone which studies thathave linked to hormone and thyroid disruption potentialcontribution to endometriosis in women and also reduced spermcount in men

Instead choose a zinc oxide based sunscreen These sunscreenswork by physically blocking the suns rays (be sure to look for onethat doesnrsquot contain nano-particles which can enter the body andthat isnrsquot ideal)
