It helps re-establishe the normal level of melanin
in the melanocytes. It contains natural active ingredients (Melon extract).
In addition, oxide dismutase and catalase have an antioxidant action and
inhibit the production of free radicals, protecting the skin.
Vitises capsules
An effective food supplement containing
Melon extract, Borage oil, L-Cystine, Folic acid and vitamin B12. Due
to its formula, possesses an important antioxidant action, protecting
the skin against free radicals. Also, vitamins ease re-pigmentation.
What happens to the skin with vitiligo?
Due to oxidative stress high concentrations of free radicals, vacuolization
and cell death occur. Vitiligo is characterized by a catalase deficiency.
The addition of catalase reverses the vacuolization of the melanocytes
and keratinocytes. Keratinocytes in vitiligo lesions have proinflammatory
responses, which can be inhibited through the combination of SOD and Catalase.
Vitises + complementary treatments
Vitises program may be complemented with: Topical steroids. Tacrolimus ointment. PUVA (Ultraviolet-B radiation).
Phenylalanine, Fenalderm Softgels
MEL (Monochromatic Excimer Light).
Red light therapy
key ingredients
Vitises Gel
Ginkgo biloba
the alcoholic extract from the leaves of
ginkgo biloba has antioxidant activity. It traps free radicals and inhibits
the generation of reactive oxygen species. This action has been related
to the increase of the half-life of nitric oxide (endothelium-derived
relaxation factor), which leads to vascular relaxation and vasodilatation.
Calcium chloride
Certain evidences show a pathogenic association
of vitiligo with an increase of epidermal oxidative stress. This is due
to an increase of 6-tetra-hydro-biopterin 6-BH4 (a potent inhibitor of
phenylalanine hydroxylase), an increment of the monoaminooxidase A epidermal
activity and subsequent generation of H2O2. This can originate the rapid
oxidation of 6-BH4 to 6-biopterin, a melanotoxic molecule. The REDOX state
of this molecule is controlled by
calcium through the thioredoxin reductase / thioredoxin system. Calcium
transport in vitiliginous melanocytes is defective. Defective calcium
transport can be reverted in vitro by increasing external calcium concentrations.
Vitises Capsules
Borage oil
essential fatty acids (EFA) act on the
structure of cell membranes and in the synthesis of series 1 prostaglandins,
which possess anti-inflammatory activity. The EFAs also protect the membranes
from free radical attack.
L-cysteine
An amino acid with antioxidant action that
actively participates in melanin synthesis.
Folic acid and vitamin B12
People with vitiligo have levels under
normal of these components. The provision of these vitamins favours the
processes of skin re-pigmentation. An additional oral supply, especially
if it is combined with solar exposure of the affected area, promotes re-pigmentation.
Vitises is an opaque, non-oily gel, with
a granular look and quick to absorb that acts as a regulator for skin
re-pigmentation. Especially for hypopigmentation
Properties
Contributes in re-establishing normal melanin
levels in melanocites (cells in charge of manufacturing skin pigment or
melanina), particularly in those situations where these levels can be
compromised. Vitises microspheres are easily visible, and recover and
protect the active ingredients from vegetable origin (melon) These active
ingredients are superoxide dismutase and catalase, which perform an antioxidative
action and are able to inhibit the production of free radicals at epidermis
cell level (melanocites and keratocytes), therefore protecting the epidermis
from cellular death.
Directions
Apply twice a day on the affected area. After its absorption, a moisturizing
emulsion can be used and make-up can be applied. On its application, the
active ingredient, re-establisher of melanin normal levels, is liberated
with the heat produced by the finger on the skin. Vitises can
be used with Alanin Tablets and with sun or UVA rays exposition.
