Life Extension Skin Restoring Phytoceramides with Lipowheat 30 Capsules

Ceramides comprise 35%–40% of the binding matrix that maintains moisture balance and protects the surface of your skin.1 These skin-nourishing oils are an important lipid component of the skin s membrane, where they provide protection from the elements and lock in moisture.2-5 But one of the challenges of maintaining supple, healthy skin is that ceramide levels naturally decrease as we age!6 Using wheat oils as a natural moisturizer The ceramides that give younger skin its supple appearance are identical to those found in wheat. That s why wheat-derived oils have been used topically as natural moisturizers for centuries. However, you can t get enough ceramides from topically applied wheat germ oil to have a long-term impact on your skin s appearance.What s worse, you probably won t be able to obtain enough wheat ceramides from your diet to make a difference, either. The good news is we ve combined these skin nourishing oils in a proprietary, highly concentrated ceramide Lipowheat® blend. Clinically researched Lipowheat® formula What makes Skin Restoring Phytoceramides with Lipowheat® such an excellent complement to topical products you may already use?
