Benefits of Skin Restoring Ceramides

• Nutritional support for aging skin.
• Natural source of skin restoring ceramides.
• Moisturizing and nourishing properties.
• Supplements topical products you may already use.

If your skin looks healthy, thank ceramides. They are a vital lipid building block of the skin’s tissue, where they shield against the elements and lock in moisture.^24-27 In fact, 35%-40% of the binding model that sustains moisture balance and defends the skin’s surface, consists of ceramides.²⁸ The dilemma is that the body’s development of ceramides diminishes with age.²⁹

The ceramides that young skin naturally produces to preserve its limber appearance match those present in wheat which is the reason that wheat-oils have been used topically for centuries as a natural moisturizer.

For this reason, Life Extension has combined these skin-healthy oils in an oral concoction with Ceratiq® wheat, an exclusive phytoceramide mix that provides nourishing support for aging skin, to supplement topical products you may already use.
