Phytoceramide Supplements

in angingsking •  8 years ago 

What are phytoceramides? Do phytoceramide supplements really work to improve aging skin?
Phytoceramides are promoted to hydrate and "plump" the skin for a more youthful appearance. The basis for this is that ceramides are waxy lipids naturally found in skin cells which help to regulate the water barrier and water-holding capacity in skin. Decreased levels of ceramides in skin are associated with aging, dry skin, and certain skin conditions, such as atopic dermatitis, eczema and psoriasis. However, the effect of taking plant-based ceramides ("phyto" ceramides), is a different story. Phytoceramides (or "plant" ceramides) are derived from plants such as wheat, rice and sweet potatoes.
