Product Overview

Life Extension Shade Factor is a carefully formulated dietary supplement in the form of vegetarian capsules designed to complement the skin's needs during sun exposure. Each jar contains 120 capsules, providing long-lasting supply for daily intake during periods of increased sun activity. Life Extension is an American company with over four decades of experience in nutritional research and the development of products for healthy lifestyles. The brand combines scientifically supported ingredients with high-quality raw materials and meticulous production processes, clearly reflected in Shade Factor. The product is developed to suit an active lifestyle where the skin is frequently exposed to UV light, and contains, among other things, niacinamide, Polypodium leucotomos extract, and Red Orange Complex®, all ingredients carefully selected for their documented quality. Shade Factor is also free from GMOs and gluten and is entirely vegetarian, making it an attractive choice for those seeking pure and plant-based supplements of high standard.

Active Ingredients 26 Science

This formula is based on three main ingredients well known in nutritional research for their properties related to skin function. Niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3, is easily absorbed and participates in the body's cellular energy production and DNA repair. Polypodium leucotomos is an extract from a tropical fern containing bioactive compounds that help maintain the skin's structure. Red Orange Complex® is a standardised extract from Sicilian red oranges, rich in natural phenols and vitamin C, which contributes to the body's antioxidant processes. The combination of these ingredients is developed to work synergistically and provide broader support to the skin during periods of sun exposure.

Benefits 26 Applications

  • For the active outdoor person: Ideal for those who are often outdoors in the sun, whether walking, cycling, or gardening.
  • Seasonal extra support: Particularly relevant during spring and summer when UV radiation is strongest and outdoor time increases.
  • Complement to external skincare: Provides nutrients that support the skin's normal function from within, which can complement the use of external sun protection.
  • Vegetarian and pure composition: Contains no GMO ingredients, gluten, or animal components, making it suitable for many dietary preferences.
  • Daily intake for continuous support: Suitable for regular use during periods of high sun exposure to provide the skin with extra nutritional support.

Usage 26 Dosage

The recommended dose is two capsules per day, preferably with a meal to optimise ingredient absorption. The capsules are vegetarian and easy to swallow, facilitating incorporation into the daily routine. For best effect, Shade Factor can be used before, during, and after periods of outdoor activity and sun exposure. The product can be combined with other supplements containing vitamins and antioxidants, but it is always advisable to follow the dosage instructions for each product and consult a healthcare professional if uncertain.

Quality 26 Manufacturing

Life Extension is known for its rigorous quality work where each product undergoes thorough testing for purity and quality. Shade Factor is manufactured in facilities following strict GMP procedures (Good Manufacturing Practices) and is free from GMOs and gluten. Ingredients are carefully selected to ensure high bioavailability and are regularly tested to guarantee product purity. The packaging is designed to preserve the quality of the capsules throughout their shelf life.

What are the benefits of niacinamide for the skin?
Niacinamide (vitamin B3) in Shade Factor supports healthy DNA before, during and after UV exposure.

What is Polypodium leucotomos and how does it work?
Polypodium leucotomos is a fern extract that contains many protective properties for the skin. In clinical studies, this extract has been shown to help inhibit cellular changes that can lead to premature ageing from sun exposure and supports healthy DNA.
Can Shade Factor be taken year-round or only in summer?
Shade Factor is designed to be used before, during and after sun exposure. Even moderate UV exposure year-round can affect skin health, so many choose to take it continuously, especially during periods of higher sun intensity.
What role does astaxanthin play in Life Extension Shade Factor?

Is Shade Factor safe to take with sun protection?
Yes, Shade Factor is an oral skin protection supplement designed to be used alongside other sun protection methods. It complements external sun protection by supporting the skin's internal defence against UV exposure.
Which ingredients in Shade Factor support cell energy?
Niacinamide is the main ingredient that supports ATP production and cell energy in Shade Factor. Vitamin E and selenium also act as antioxidants that protect cells from energy loss caused by solar radiation and oxidative stress.
Is Shade Factor from Life Extension suitable for all skin types?
Shade Factor is an oral dietary supplement designed to support the skin's natural defence against UV exposure for anyone spending time outdoors. It is plant-based and contains no known allergens, but always consult the product label and a healthcare professional if you have specific skin conditions or allergies.
