Is Bronzebody a tanning pill?

No. Bronzebody GLOW is a daily photonutrition supplement, not a tanning pill. It uses clinically studied carotenoids that support the skin's natural antioxidant defenses against UV-induced oxidative stress. It does not contain L-Tyrosine, canthaxanthin, or any ingredient designed to artificially color the skin.

Is Bronzebody a tanning gummy?

No. Bronzebody GLOW is a cold-process capsule, not a gummy. Gummy manufacturing requires high heat that degrades carotenoid compounds. GLOW uses cold-process encapsulation to preserve the full potency of its five carotenoid ingredients.

What is the difference between Bronzebody and tanning supplements?

Tanning supplements typically use L-Tyrosine and copper to stimulate melanin production, which has no clinical support at supplement doses. Bronzebody GLOW uses a completely different mechanism: plant-based carotenoids that accumulate in the skin over 8-12 weeks and support the body's antioxidant defenses against UV damage. It is the internal complement to sunscreen, not a melanin booster.

Does Bronzebody replace sunscreen?

No. Bronzebody GLOW is designed to work alongside sunscreen, not replace it. Sunscreen blocks UV at the surface. GLOW supports the skin from within, addressing the oxidative stress that UV generates beneath the surface. Two different stages of the same problem.

What is photonutrition?

Photonutrition is the practice of using plant-based carotenoid compounds, taken orally and consistently, to support the skin's natural antioxidant defenses against UV-induced oxidative stress from the inside out. It has been a daily practice recommended by European dermatologists for years and is supported by decades of peer-reviewed research.

Heat Is the Enemy of Carotenoids: Why Cold-Process Capsules Matter

Heat Is the Enemy of Carotenoids: Why Cold-Process Capsules Matter

Not all supplements deliver what is on the label. Here is why.

Carotenoids are powerful but sensitive compounds. Lycopene, astaxanthin, beta-carotene, lutein -- these are the same molecules that give tomatoes, salmon, and marigolds their vivid colors. They are also among the most clinically studied plant compounds for skin support.

But carotenoids degrade when exposed to high heat. This matters because many supplement formats -- particularly gummies -- require heat during manufacturing. The binding agents, gelatin or pectin bases, sweeteners, and flavors that hold a gummy together all need to be heated and molded into shape. That process exposes the active ingredients to temperatures that can break down carotenoid molecules before they ever reach you.

Research on heat degradation of carotenoids shows losses of 30 to 60 percent during thermal processing. That means a gummy listing a certain dose on the label may deliver only half -- or less -- of that amount in its final form.

Cold-process capsules avoid this entirely. Our capsules are manufactured without heat exposure, preserving 100 percent carotenoid integrity from raw ingredient to finished product. What is on our label is what is in the capsule.

Daily photonutrition starts with what actually reaches your skin.
