Skin Restoring Rice Phytoceramides with Lipowheat Life
Ceramides part of lipid membrane:
Skin basically consists of mainly lipids and proteins. Ceramides are lipids which occur in nature and are found in our skin. Ceramides are an important part of our lipid membrane and play an important role in keeping skin hydrated and moist. Unfortunately they cannot be stored in your body and need to be ingested. Studies have shown that they can be obtained from various plants thus coining the term of “phytoceramides.”
Phytoceramides:
It was found that the lipids in plant oil were identical to those found in your skin membrane. Thus extracts from the plants were used as ceramide sources and they were called phytoceramides. Now various sources were studies and different plants were observed to find which had the best quantity of ceramides present such as sweet potatoes, rice, wheat. Wheat showed prowess to be an excellent source of phytoceramides and proved to be a commercial success. Various companies started manufacturing wheat based phytoceramide products to be used as supplements.
Rice phytoceramides:
Rice phytoceramides have been found to have a distinct advantage to the wheat products. Clinical trials have shown that less amount of phytoceramides produced from rice can have effects far greater than three times the phytoceramides obtained from wheat. Gluten products specially in supplements can be problematic for many consumers who are allergic to gluten products. Garcinia cambogia 75% made from rice are gluten free thus can be used by anyone without any problem. These reasons aside rice phytoceramides have been tested for over 11 years as they are regularly used in Japan for more than a decade.
Clinical trials:
Dry skin is something we are all familiar with. Clinical trials were carried out in which 33 people were involved and the trials spanned over six weeks. 40 mg of rice phytoceramides were given and the results were observed. A variety of dermatological and microscopic skin analysis was performed in which skin moisture, dryness and texture were quantitatively observed. The clinical trials showed that the rice phytoceramides proved to be excellent and results were obtained in a very short time.
Skin restoring phytoceramides have a number of beneficial effects such as:
- They act as a natural face lift and hide age spots, lines and wrinkles.
- They act as anti oxidants protecting the skin and minimizing damage which comes through environmental exposure and time.
