DEVA - Ceramide Skin Support - 60 VeggieCaps

Deva tion is proud to introduce its derived ceramide (phytoceramide) skin support supplement. We know about ceramide doing wonders for our hair.1 Researches now study the benefits of ceramides in the improvement of skin and function. Our skin consists of few layers of tissue, one of which is called "stratum corneum". This is the layer of the skin where intercellular lipids are present and they play an important role in water retention, thus keeping our skin moist and hydrated. Ceramides are the main component of this intercellular lipid layer. With the help of the ceramides, our skin forms a barrier which protects it from exogeneous factors and prevents water loss. Until recently, ceramides have been popularly used in topical creams and lotions for dry skin conditions, but it appears topical application's effect is temporary. Therefore, many researchers conducted studies for dry skin conditions on orally taken ceramide in the form of liquid or (pill), and have seen positive results. Ceramide is considered to be a safe agent with no or very little enic effects.2 In a recent study conducted by several researchers, it was reported that orally given ceramide for 1 month and 3 months to y human individuals helped improve skin roughness on the majority of participants. Those with positive experience saw a significant decrease in water loss from the skin and an improvement in skin barrier function.2 Similar preclinical study conducted in 2000 also suggested that supplemental ceramides may play an important role in the maintenance of barrier function of the skin.3 One study also showed that dryness of the skin in humans is due to impaired sm of ceramides. A reduced a of total ceramide may be responsible for some of the functional abnormalities of the skin.4 Many studies indicate that barrier function may be improved in humans by uptake of ceramide, and improvement in skin may be observed both in y individuals with normal skin and y individuals with dry skin. Studies show that as of 1 mg to 2 mg of ceramide supplementation per day may typically be enough to help promote skin and function especially in relation to retaining moisture. Deva Ceramide skin support contains 1 mg of ceramide from sweet potato powder per . Our Vegan Ceramide product is perfect for anyone desiring extra tional support for skin and hair.* DEVA™ Vegan Ceramide is 100% vegan, vegetarian and is certified by the Vegan Society, the non-profit organization that actually invented the word "vegan".
