PABA Supplement – Natural Sunscreen

Para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) is a natural, water-soluble co-factor of the B group vitamins, now in supplement form, available to buy in the Supersmart catalogue. As an antioxidant, it can neutralize singlet oxygen and block the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays.

What are the Benefits Associated to PABA?

At doses ranging from 0.5 to 3 g a day, PABA has several benefits for hair, skin, and nails, it:

• Appears to slow, and in some cases, even reverse, crosslinking in the protein structure of connective tissues such as collagen. The process of glycation responsible for this crosslinking seems to play a vital role in the development of fibrotic diseases such as Peyronie's disease, Dupuytren's contracture or scleroderma. This is also the case for skin diseases such as dermatitis herpetiformis or vitiligo. In all cases, the administration of PABA has shown beneficial effects.
• As an antioxidant, it protects against atmospheric pollutants such as cigarette smoke or ozone which damage cell membranes and structures by producing oxidative stress.
• Promotes cell membrane fluidity.
• Increases joint flexibility.
• Restores the original color to grey hair in 10 to 25% of cases.
