Product Claims of HealthNut Phytoceramides
HealthNut Phytoceramides is the central theme of this product review today. Phytoceramides are a group of plant-derived compounds that have been scientifically proven to reverse the effects of skin aging. This manufacturer claims that their product can help you get rid of wrinkles, fine lines, and rejuvenate your skin.
Ingredients

- Vitamin C - 60mg
- Vitamin D - 400IU
- Vitamin E - 30IU
- Phytoceramides - 350mg
Phytoceramides cause the release of a strong protein called collagen that gives skin a firm consistency that reduces wrinkles. They also hydrate the skin which improves its health and makes it soft. Vitamin A protects the skin from sun damage by reducing the release of matrix metalloproteinases, which are enzymes that break down skin tissue when it is exposed to the sun. Vitamin C is responsible for producing collagen to prevent droopy skin that easily forms wrinkles. Vitamin D helps to replace old and damaged skin cells, while vitamin E reduces inflammation because it is a strong antioxidant. There is a contradiction in the ingredients. There is a statement saying the product uses Phytoceramidesthat are derived from rice and are gluten free, but elsewhere it says the capsules contain wheat. It is unclear if the capsules contain animal products and if they are suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

Summary Of Our HealthNut Phytoceramides Review
In summarizing our review of HealthNut Phytoceramides, we were encouraged by several factors. The capsules contain an adequate amount of phytoceramides per dose (350mg) to provide potentially beneficial results to your skin. The capsules should be easy to swallow and require only one dose per day. For a one month of these capsules at $14.28 this supplement is quite reasonable. Unfortunately, we found a number of issues with this supplement however. The manufacturer does not offer any discounts for this product nor incentives for first time buyers. We could not find any evidence of a guarantee or return policy for this product. In terms of dosage, there is no specific time of day listed as to when you should take this supplement. There is a contradiction in the ingredients. There is a statement saying the product uses Phytoceramidesthat are derived from rice and are gluten free, but elsewhere it says the capsules contain wheat. There is no assurance from the manufacturer that the product is made in an FDA registered facility with strict adherence to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), nor that it is free from fillers, binders, and artificial ingredients. There are only 15 reviews for this product on Amazon,and many said that they saw no significant improvement in their skin. For these reasons, we cannot recommend this supplement for your skin. We suggest that you look for a skin supplement that has better reviews, with less confusing ingredient and dosage information, and an option to receive discounts when buying in bulk.
