Edible ceramide “natural sphingomyelin”

Sphingomyelin is a type of cell membrane phospholipid that is widely distributed in the animal kingdom and is a component of the myelin sheath of nerve cells.
Sphingolipids that exist in the human body are hardly contained in plant-based ceramides.

Both animal and plant sphingolipids are broken down by enzymes in the digestive tract.

Presently, plant-based sphingolipids are recognized as foreign substances in the gastrointestinal tract and are excreted from the body, making them difficult to absorb compared to animal-based sphingolipids.  Animal-based sphingolipids are easily absorbed by the body.

Genuine R&D's edible human ceramide is milk-derived ceramide that is easily absorbed by the body, and since it is a purified compound, it is effective even in small amounts compared to ceramide contained in regular meals.
