With their Skin Restoring Ceramides dietary supplement, Life Extension® has brought together these special skin-nourishing oils in a new oral formula for skin health. Ceramides play a central role in preserving healthy-looking skin. They are an important lipid component of the skin's membrane, where they provide protection from the elements and promote proper moisture levels. A proprietary wheat extract called Ceratiq® provides nutritional support in the form of glycolipids, phytoceramides and glycosylceramides.
