Gluten-free and extracted from rice by Japan’s Oryza group, CeraLOK® is the crème de la crème of phytoceramide offerings in the ingredient marketplace. Rich in glucosyl ceramides, CeraLOK® is supported by statistically significant published human studies supporting potential claims for moisturizing and skin hydration.
Health Canada has reviewed these studies and the Canadian health authority authorized the following health claims for CeraLOK® Rice Ceramide Powder for use in Canada:
• Helps support skin hydration for the maintenance of healthy skin.
• Helps maintain healthy skin hydration.
• Helps support skin health.
• The authorized use of these health claims is based on a daily dose of 40 milligrams.
“Both the Oryza and Anderson groups are thrilled to have Oryza’s decades of efforts and research recognized by the authorities of Health Canada,” said Russ Anderson, President of Anderson Advanced Ingredients. “This stamp of approval gives further credibility to the health claims granted by Japan’s Ministry of Health a few years ago: Studies indicate that rice derived glucosyl ceramides help to maintain and protect the moisture in the skin.”
