Derma+
30 Veggie Capsules • 512 mg
Derma+™ is a combination of wheat ceramides, hydrolyzed fish collagen, and vitamins essential for skin care. 

Ceramides are a family of waxy lipid molecules composed of sphingosine and fatty acids. They are considered skin penetrating agents that have the ability to penetrate all layers of the skin helping and locking moisture. The ability to keep moisture helps the skin look younger and healthier. Ceramides are known to promote strength, repair, and tone of the skin while diminishing wrinkles. 

The mechanisms behind marine collagen involve various amino acids present in marine collagen, namely glycine and proline. According to research and clinical trials, oral intake of marine collagen stimulates the synthesis of endogenous collagen. This is done by upregulating gene expression of a number of collagen-modifying enzymes involved in collagen modulation and cross-linking. Simply put, the amino acids in glycine help support collagen production and prevent the breaking down of collagen tissues.

In one study, oral intake of marine collagen had strong antioxidant activity that improved skin elasticity, sebum production, and preservation. This data strongly suggests that marine collagen is an effective and safe supplement to improve skin properties without risk of oxidative damage. 

Vitamin E is an antioxidant that protects cell membranes and other fat-soluble parts of the body. In has several therapeutic functions such as effects on inflammation, blood cell regulation, connective tissue growth, and genetic control of cell division.

Vitamin E is an integral part of the skin’s antioxidant defenses, primarily providing protection against UV radiation and other free radicals that may come in contact with the epidermis (outer layer of the three layers that make up the skin). Oral supplementation of vitamin E may provide adequate protection for the skin. Other studies recommend co-supplementation of vitamin E with vitamin C to increase the protective action of the skin.

Beta-Carotene is a substance from plants that the body converts into vitamin A. It also acts as an antioxidant and an immune system booster. Beta-Carotene as well as lycopene are usually the predominant carotenoids in human blood and tissues known to modulate skin properties when ingested as supplements or through diet. While they cannot be compared with the application of sunscreens, there is evidence that they protect the skin against sunburn (solar erythema) by increasing the basal defense against UV light-mediated damage.

The fat-soluble vitamin D’s most important role is maintaining blood levels
of calcium, which is accomplished by increasing absorption of calcium from food and reducing urinary calcium loss. Recent studies have shown that
people suffering from a variety of inflammatory conditions were often vitamin
D-deficient. 

The skin, the largest organ of the body makes vitamin D from sunlight and
also contains receptors for the more active and circulating form of vitamin D.
This more active form of vitamin D may actually retard the abnormal growth and shedding rate of skin cells found in various dermatological conditions.
