CeraLOK™

Gluten free and extracted from rice, CeraLOK™ is the crème de la crème of ceramide offerings in the ingredient marketplace. Manufactured in Japan, CeraLOK™ is supported by statistically significant published human studies supporting potential claims for moisturizing, hydration, reduction in skin roughness, reduction in wrinkles and a whitening effect. Plated onto poly-cyclodextrin, an additional published study indicates superior absorption and bioavailability versus other potential carriers.

Not all ceramide types and their subclasses are as efficacious for healthy skin as often purported. CeraLOK™ is standardized to the most deeply studied and relevant ceramide type: Glucosyl Ceramides. CeraLOK™ is further standardized to 2000ppm sitosterol-3-O-glucoside (SG). SG has been shown to positively affect the natural synthesis of ceramides in the skin. CeraLOK™ is the only ceramide sold in the marketplace containing sitosterol-3-O-glucoside. More research is being conducted on this key marker, but this differentiator is most likely key to making CeraLOK™ the most efficacious ceramide source available. At a dose of just 40 miligrams, CeraLOK™ should be the starting point for any and all skin health and beauty formulations.
