The difference

Most capsules versus Protect Capsules.

Ageing skin is easier to support than to reverse. This works at the level a serum cannot reach, where collagen is made and cells produce energy.

Eighteen actives in one daily capsule, including high-strength vitamin C, CoQ10, pine bark and lycopene.

Dr Sonal Chavda-Sitaram
From Dr SCS
"Skin ages from the inside. Oxidative stress builds, CoQ10 levels fall, ceramides thin, collagen synthesis slows. All of it happens below the surface, and none of it is reachable with a cream.

I looked for one formula that addressed the whole picture and could only find single ingredients sold separately, each doing a fraction of the work.

So I built Protect Capsules: cellular energy, antioxidant defence, barrier lipids and collagen support in a single comprehensive capsule."

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What is in the Protect Capsules?

CoQ10, hyaluronic acid, rice bran ceramides, lycopene, pine bark extract, magnesium oxide, high strength Vitamin C, Vitamin E and a full B-complex, working together on cellular energy, antioxidant defence, barrier lipids and collagen support.

Why do I need a supplement for skin ageing?

Because the processes that show on your face are taking place in the dermis and below, where a topical cannot reach.

Mitochondrial CoQ10 declines with age, reducing the cellular energy available to fibroblasts, the cells that manufacture collagen. Reactive oxygen species accumulate faster than antioxidant defences neutralise them, damaging collagen and elastin directly and activating the enzymes that break them down. Ceramides, which make up around half the lipid matrix holding the barrier together, thin over time, so skin loses water more readily. And collagen synthesis itself slows from the
mid-twenties onwards.

Protect Capsules work on each of those, delivered through the bloodstream to the tissue where they occur: CoQ10 for cellular energy, pine bark and lycopene for antioxidant defence, rice bran ceramides for the barrier lipid matrix, and high
strength Vitamin C as the cofactor collagen synthesis depends on.

How do I take them?

Take one capsule daily, preferably with a meal. Do not exceed the stated dose.

Why do I need the capsule as well as the serum?

Collagen is made below the surface, and
cellular energy production happens there too. A serum cannot reach either. The
capsule works on the part of skin ageing that a topical product cannot.

Do I need to take these every day?

Yes. The antioxidant and vitamin complex
works by accumulating steadily, so consistency matters more than dose.

What if I already take a multivitamin?

Many customers find Protect Capsules replace a multivitamin and several separate antioxidant supplements, because the formulation already covers a full B-complex, VitaminC, Vitamin E, Vitamin A, Vitamin D3, magnesium and selenium alongside the skin-specific actives. If you do want to take both, check where they overlap, particularly Vitamin A and the B vitamins, and please seek advice from your healthcare professional.
