Description
PSORADIN
Food supplement based on Omega 3, vitamins and mineral salts to be used as an adjuvant in some pathological conditions such as psoriasis.In patients suffering from psoriasis, the administration of Omega 3 (alpha linolenic acid, EPA, DHA) in conjunction with standard topical and/or systemic treatments is able to:
- Decrease the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. (1,4)
- Determine a significant improvement in total PASI. (1)
- Prolong the benefits of phototherapy. (6)
- Reduce the nephrotoxicity of Cyclosporine. (6)
- Reduce hyperlipidemia induced by the use of systemic retinoids. (6)
Vitamin A and D
They are able to inhibit the proliferation of keratinocytes and stimulate the differentiation of immature ones. (7)
Vitamin E
With antioxidant and free radical scavenging action particularly high in all chronic inflammatory processes. (8)
Zinc, Selenium, and Chromium
Components of important enzyme complexes essential for maintaining normal skin and immune system functions. (9)
Useful in all patients with psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis, whether under treatment with topical and/or systemic therapies or untreated.
