Supplements for Sun Protection - 0.5 CME Credits
Day Two: Saturday, October 28, 2023
| 1:15 PM - 1:45 PM PDT:
Adequate sun exposure is important for human health and wellness, but overexposure contributes to cutaneous carcinogenesis and skin aging. Innate photoprotective mechanisms include quenching free radicals and minimizing oxidative stress, repairing damaged DNA, and preventing photo-induced immunosuppression. People with sun sensitivity or a high risk of skin cancer can benefit from supplementing vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients which enhance these photoprotective mechanisms.
Learning Objectives:
1. Participants will review photocarcinogenesis and the innate mechanisms of photoprotection.
2. Participants will summarize our current understanding of the role of vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients in photoprotection.
3. Participants will discuss how supplements can be utilized for photoprotection and prevention of photocarcinogenesis in high risk individuals.Speaker
