Phytoceramides Plus

Phytoceramides Plus combines the power of phytoceramides with the action of BioCell Collagen II®. Ceramides are a family of lipid molecules that, chemically speaking, consist of a sphingoid base (sphingosine or phytosphingosine) linked to a fatty acid via an amide bond. Ceramides are naturally found in cell membranes, where they act as intermediates for the synthesis of sphingomyelin, the main membrane phospholipid. They are also the main constituents of the epidermal barrier, the structure responsible for maintaining the skin's protection and hydration. They are, in fact, one of the main components of the stratum corneum, where they occupy the interstitial spaces between cells, binding them together and helping to maintain the skin barrier. Ceramides in the stratum corneum play a fundamental role in preventing transepidermal water loss, thus maintaining skin hydration and elasticity, and preventing the entry of harmful substances. Since sphingosine (derived from ceramides) has a powerful antimicrobial activity, especially against S. aureus, ceramides also have a powerful antimicrobial action. A clinical study (randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled) conducted on 60 subjects aged between 30 and 60 years demonstrated that the administration of plant-based ceramides, obtained from both the germ and bran of rice and wheat, can significantly improve not only the level of hydration, but also the elasticity of the skin, by acting on enzymes that modulate the degradation of elastic and collagen fibers. BioCell Collagen II® is made up of structural elements of the dermal matrix such as hydrolyzed type II collagen (60%), chondroitin sulfate (20%), and hyaluronic acid (10%) in a highly absorbable form. BioCell Collagen® is an ingredient clinically proven to promote joint and skin health. By helping to increase collagen content, it contributes to the skin's resistance and helps counteract the natural processes of aging and photoaging. Furthermore, due to the presence of hyaluronic acid, it is effective in reducing skin dryness, thus improving skin firmness and elasticity. Finally, it improves microcirculation and supports healthy hair and nails.
The bioactive components of Phytoceramides Plus, such as hyaluronic acid, collagen, and chondroitin sulfate, work synergistically with phytoceramides to restore not only adequate hydration to the skin but also provide the essential constituents of the dermal matrix needed for the construction of new tissue and thus effectively slow down the aging process.
