And we can talk about nicotinamide later. But if... In and of itself, it works great. In conjunction with topicals, you get the best of both worlds. You get internal shielding and external shielding. Now, it is a supplement, so it's not a controlled drug the way the FDA regulates sunscreen. So it isn't really a sunscreen, but it's a way to prevent...

sunburns, increase the amount of time you can be outside and increase the efficacy of your topical. So if you're somebody who is very fair skin, who burns all the time, or if you're somebody who has like what we call sun hives or prickly sun rash, PMLE, this is an added thing that you can use that will boost your sun protective factors. It's awesome.

Yeah, great question. So there's been a wide variety of doses investigated, anywhere from 50, 100, 240, 480. Generally, some... You said 1,500? No, sorry, 50 milligrams, 100 milligrams, 240, 480. Okay. Somewhere in between 50 and 480 milligrams is what's commonly used. The most common side effect can be a little upset stomach if you can't tolerate the plant for whatever reason. It's taken daily?

You can either take it daily as a method of preventing premature photoaging and pigmentary change, or you can take it as needed an hour before you get sun to shield you from the sun. The other thing that it helps prevent that some sunscreens cannot, particularly the chemical sunscreens cannot, is the effects of visible light.

So there are certain skin conditions, the most common is melasma, which a lot of women have, you know, it's I think the bane of their existence. It used to be called the mask of pregnancy. And melasma is something that is very sensitive to both UV light, and visible light. Chemical sunscreens don't do a good job blocking visible light.

Polypodium has been shown to help block the effects of visible light as well, which makes melasma worse. It's this discoloration that we see mostly in women, usually after pregnancy or women who are on birth control. It is really challenging to treat. And sun protection is the first line, like diligent sun protection.
