Fernblock is a natural
extract of the Native American fern Polypodium
leucotomos. This plant has been used by Native
Americans for centuries to treat tumors, skin
diseases (including psoriasis), and sunburn.
Modern researchers have discovered that the oral
ingestion of this fern may provide previously
unavailable skin cancer protection by blocking
the damage that dangerous ultraviolet (UV) rays
cause to living skin cells.
Fernblock
works by decreasing the consequences of
acute sun exposure, such as redness and
sunburn-cell formation and helps to maintain
specialized immune cells in the skin to fight
cancer.
Fernblock
also inhibits collagen-destroying enzymes
that contribute to skin aging.
Fernblock safely helps to
inhibit harmful UV damage and quenches dangerous
free radicals that can damage DNA and interfere
with the body’s DNA-repair mechanisms.
Enhanced FernBlock® with Sendara™ is
complemented with a powerful antioxidant called
Phyllanthus emblica. This natural extract blocks a
chemical reaction that generates several types of
skin-damaging free radicals, thus shielding the skin against
the destruction of collagen and other dermal matrix
proteins. An in vitro study
using a patented extract of both ashwagandha and
Phyllanthus emblica demonstrated an
impressive 54% inhibition of
collagen-degrading enzymes and an 86%
inhibition of those that break down hyaluronic acid—the
skin’s natural moisturizer.
The unique combination of natural ingredients in Enhanced
FernBlock® with Sendara™ has been
scientifically proven to help skin look and feel good from
the inside out. This formula is designed to complement
topical sunscreens for complete skin protection.
If possible,
Fernblock
should be complemented with a topical sunscreen,
especially, for very long periods of sun
exposure. FernBlock complements the effects of
sunscreens by protecting the entire skin surface
and has an obvious advantage since it cannot be
removed by perspiring or bathing.

Polypodium leucotomos is an epiphytic
fern native to tropical and subtropical regions of the
Americas. It is confined to the eastern side of the
continents, extending north into the United States to
Florida and the extreme southeast of Georgia, and south
through the Caribbean (the Bahamas, Puerto Rico, and Lesser
Antilles), and northern and eastern South America to
Paraguay. It is the only species of
Phlebodium
found in North America, the other ten or so species all
confined to South America. Other common names include
Calaguala (among Spanish speaking peoples), Kalawalla,
Samambia, and Anapsos.
