I was looking at them, well have done for a while TBH. They're half price at Boots at the moment.I've just looked at the ingredients, and can't see anything untoward. Think I'll check out some reviews as well.
Years ago (in the 80's) lol, I bought some "tanning tablets" from Boots, they called them Orobronze. Well they were fantastic, I came back from my holidays with a fantastic deep tan. The instructions said to maintain the tan take 2 tablets per day, well I wanted mine to go even darker so I doubled up on the dosage and took 4 a day. Lovely colour stayed until one morning I woke up and I was bright orange! Seriously I was like a carrot... :rofl Soles of my feet, even the whites of my eyes were orange,lol, took 3 weeks to fade. The moral of this is to tell you to please keep to the instructions, unless you want to walk about like a Belicia beacon.... :rofl

I used to take orobronze. They were awesome. Never doubled up quantity but did go on a sunbed. My palms started to go an orangey colour.
Took them one year when we had a seriously long hot summer and I went black. People used to ask me if it was false and stroke my arm to see if it came off??? :rofl
I wish you could still get them. I've tried tan tablets from health food shops but never found anything that makes a visible difference.

Sunaddict, they were the best thing I've ever tried. I only had the problem because I took too many, and they contained Carotene, lol. Yes I wish you could still get them, I've never ever been such a lovely dark tanned colour.
I wonder if Imedeen are about the same?I might try them and see, lol .

I might try them myself. They aren't a self tanner though like orobronze.

Years ago before the high factor sun creams were available my husband ,who is very fair,used to take Beta Carotene tablets just to stop him burning.
I think these may still be available from Holland and Barrett.

I think they help with the aging effects of the sun. I'm getting to that age where I want a tan but don't want all the wrinkles. Don't wanna end up like Madge from benidorm. :)

Are they like the Silversun tablets you used to get years ago

I've been using the Imedeen tanning tablets for 5 years. They're very good, you take one a day for 2 weeks before you go away and then the same whilst on holiday. They have most definitley helped me from burning and they make you tan last sooo much longer. They're not cheap but they do work. I always wait to buy them until they're on offer.

Be VERY wary of buying them from eBay sellers, 9 times out of 10 they're out of date or have very short date left on them :duh

I've still not decided whether to try them or not. I always ask Ebay sellers for the sell by dates on things, if appropriate.
