Skin Restoring Ceramides 350 mg. - 30 Liquid VCap(s) Life Extension

What are Ceramides?
Ceramides are an important liquid component of your skin’s membrane, where they provide protection from the elements and help lock in moisture. In fact, they make up nearly 40% of the binding matrix that maintains moisture balance and protects the surface of your skin. The problem is that your body’s natural production of ceramides declines as you age, creating a sagging and wrinkled appearance to your once-supple skin. The good news is that researchers have determined that the ceramides naturally present in wheat are identical to those that occur naturally in your body. That helps explain why wheat-derived oils have been used as a topical moisturizer for centuries. But you simply can’t get enough ceramides from a topical wheat-germ oil to have a long-term impact on your skin.

Smooth Results
In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, healthy women who took 350 mg of ceramide extract once a day for 12 weeks experienced a smoothing of wrinkles, improved skin hydration, and objectively smoother, healthier-looking skin. Some subjects reported continued results eight weeks after the study ended, suggesting a lasting benefit from ceramide supplementation. Life Extension Skin Restoring Ceramides is made with the exact same ultra-pure ceramide wheat oil as used in the study.

Improved Hydration and Comfort
A separate double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial found that women who took 350 mg of the same ceramide oil that is used in Life Extension’s formula daily for 3 months showed measurable improvements in skin hydration on their arms and legs, and reported generally smoother, suppler, and healthier-looking skin overall. Yet another clinical study using the same formula found marked improvements in skin scaling and roughness and a dramatic reduction in itching among the ceramide group versus the placebo one. Electrochemical analysis revealed significantly improved hydration in 95% of the participants in the ceramide group, too. In fact, Life Extension Skin Restoring Ceramides has proven so effective in clinical trials that the FDA has approved these ceramides as a dietary ingredient. Maybe it’s time to add Life Extension Skin Restoring Ceramides to your beauty regimen!
