Why this certification matters
- Informed Sport
- Informed Sport certification is especially relevant for athletes in tested sports because products are batch-tested for substances prohibited in sport.
Frequently asked questions
- What does Heliocare do?
- Heliocare is built around Fernblock (Polypodium leucotomos extract), marketed as a daily oral supplement supporting the skin's response to UV exposure. It is not a sunscreen replacement.
- Where can I buy it?
- Amazon UK at £23.50 and Holland & Barrett at £24.65 — Amazon is the cheaper of the two.
- Is this a sunscreen?
- No — Heliocare is an oral supplement, used alongside (not instead of) topical sunscreen. The two work differently.
- Is the Informed Sport cert meaningful?
- For tested athletes who want banned-substance assurance across every supplement, yes — Informed Sport tests each batch regardless of category. Heliocare carrying it is unusual for a non-sports brand.
- How long until effect?
- Heliocare positions the product as a daily routine — most published research uses sustained intake over weeks rather than single doses.
