Healing Oasis Announces Research Showing Potential Benefits Of Phytoceramides For Memory

April 22, 2015 – – Healing Oasis announces research found showing that there may be tremendous benefits of phytoceramides (PCER or Pcer) for memory as well as neuroprotection and even neurogenesis or repair, especially in neurodegenerative conditions. A study published in 2013 reported imrpoved cognitive and memory function in rats after just 7 days of oral supplementation with Phytoceramdies. Levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) were significantly increased. “These results suggest that Pcer contribute to enhancing memory and BDNF expression and it could be secondary to the elevation of neurogenesis.” (Source: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24265869: Biomolecules and Therapeutics (Seoul)v.21(3); 2013 May 30PMC3830122)

In previous studies published in 2011, Phytoceramides protected nerve cell cultures from glutamate toxicity, and spatial memory lost to glutamate toxicity was restored in rats. The “results suggest that PCER plays an important role in neuroprotection and memory enhancement and PCER could be a potential new therapeutic agent for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease.” (Source: Molecules. 2011 Oct 28;16(11):9090-100. doi: 10.3390/molecules16119090.)

This breakthrough development does require further clinical trials, but initial results are promising. Healing Oasis phytoceramides have been used to rejuvenate and heal the skin, encourage natural apoptosis of damaged cells, protect nerve cells and other specific benefits, and it now seems that their work in demonstrating the benefits of this natural product are paying off in the area of memory.

According to Dr. Glen Swartwout, who was not involved in the study, “Phytoceramides actually restored memory function that was lost due to glutamate toxicity. This is what we see in degenerative neurological conditions like Alzheimer’s, migraine and glaucoma, so now we need to explore this with clinical trials.” Dr. Swartwout is the creator of the Clinical Theory of Everything, which is the first comprehensive science-based theory of self-healing, which includes the fundamental mechanism and role of consciousness.

Phytoceramides have been hailed as the fountain of youth. After years of approval in Japan by the Japanese Ministry of Health, they finally received official FDA approval in the United States in 2014. Essentially, ceramides are concentrated in the skin and also in every cell membrane, the skin of the cell. As we age, the ceramides decrease, which causes the various visible signs of aging, such as wrinkles, fine lines, spots, blemishes and more. Phytoceramides are basically the plant alternative to these deficient human ceramides.

“Phytoceramides have been used as a topical medicine in Asia for thousands of years,” explains Esthetician and Health Coach, Susan Luscombe, Founder of Healing Oasis. “They have been a strong part of Ayurveda for all this time and we have been teaching how the brain forms embryologically from the skin for years. It is very exciting to now see research showing that supplementation of Phytoceramides can restore neurological functions like memory, in addition to the remarkable rejuvenation that is visible in skin health!”

The research has suggested that there are indeed benefits of phytoceramides for memory. Since the FDA has now approved it as a supplement, it can be ingested daily and allowed to work on every cell inside the body in addition to restoring the integrity of the top layer of the skin. Although the fact that it is good for the skin is nothing new, this new research now also demonstrates that it is good for memory. It is now thought that there could be benefits to vision and many other bodily functions. It is no surprise, therefore, that it is becoming so popular here.

The fact that phytoceramides have received FDA approval is a testament to how safe and natural these products are. Various clinical tests so far have demonstrated that the supplements offer very quick results, often in as little as two weeks to a few months and that only a very low dosage of one capsule a day is required.

Additional information is available on Healing Oasis phytoceramides here. The research clearly explains what the benefits are of phytoceramides and how they work with the ceramides made by our own bodies. Additionally, it speaks of the research that is currently being done on the link between phytoceramides and improved memory, as well as the various other health benefits that have been observed so far.
