Manufacturer’s Claim
Today, we are reviewing a product called Opus Health Phytoceramides – a supplement directed at improving your skin. Phytoceramides are similar to a natural lipid found in our bodies called ceramides which keeps our skin hydrated and firm. Phytoceramides are the plant-derived equivalent of this natural lipid. The manufacturer of this product claims that this supplement can replace ceramides that are lost as you age therefore reversing the process of wrinkles and aging. They also claim this product will help to keep your skin hydrated, and improve skin texture.
Ingredients
- Vitamin A – 5000IU
- Vitamin C – 60mg
- Vitamin D – 400 IU
- Vitamin E – 30IU
- Phytoceramides – 350 mg
Vitamin A protects the collagen in the skin against damage caused by excessive UV radiation from sunlight. Vitamin C is necessary to create collagen. Vitamin D helps immature skin cells to mature and replace the damaged ones. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that reduces inflammation, which can lead to wrinkly skin. Phytoceramides have been shown to increase collagen, and hydrate the skin improving texture and general health.
Dosage
Take one capsule of Opus Health Phytoceramides per day. The manufacturer does not specify the optimum time to take the supplement nor if you should take it with meals or water.
Price
On Amazon, one 30 capsule bottle costs an eye-watering $289.99. This is for a 30 day supply and represents a super expensive supplement. Shipping is extra, and there are no additional new customer incentives, nor bulk buying discounts offered by the manufacturer.
Guarantee
The manufacturer offers a short 30 day money back guarantee, but details are not provided, and it is unclear if you can return opened bottles of capsules.
Opus Health Phytoceramides Review – The Bottom Line
Among the positive aspects of this product are that its ingredients are backed by scientific research and might provide some benefits to your skin health. The dosage is quite simple and easy to follow. There is 30 day guarantee policy provided by the manufacturer. Less positive aspects of this product are that although there is a guarantee, it is short at 30 days, and lacks details. It is also unclear if you can return opened bottles of capsules. It seems shipping is an extra cost. There is no first time customer incentive nor bulk buying option. Regarding dosage instructions, the manufacturer does not explain whether the supplement should be taken with meals, or if there is a preferred time of day it should be taken. Saving the worst for last – this is hands down the highest priced supplement that we have ever reviewed at $289.99 for 30 capsules – almost $10 per capsule. With a price like this, it sorely needs to have a much stronger guarantee. For all these reasons, especially the last two, we strongly recommend that you look for a more affordable supplement that has bulk buying discounts, a longer return policy and guarantee that allows return of opened bottles of capsules, and free shipping.
