Two products have been made available with claims they can protect skin from the sun with an oral tablet.

They are each considered to be 'dietary supplements' and have not received approval from the Food & Drug Administration.

The first, Heliocare, clarifies thatit isn't a sunscreenand should be used in addition to 'topical sun protection.

The second, Sunsafe RX goes a little further. This product claims to protect your whole body without rubbing off like topical sunscreens.
