Konjac
.svg){kind=small}
Origin: Konjac (Amorphophallus konjac) Phytoceramides — standardized tuber extract used for skin hydration, barrier defense, radiance/texture, and hair & nail nourishment. Unlike grain sources (wheat/rice), konjac provides vegan, gluten-free glucosylceramides that the body can convert to skin-identical ceramides.
Phytochemical Profile
- Glucosylceramides (plant sphingolipids) that replenish the intercellular lipid matrix of the stratum corneum → tighter barrier, less TEWL (transepidermal water loss), smoother feel.
- Supports endogenous ceramide synthesis (CerS/Elovl signaling, shown in translational models).
- Non-grain, non-oil; quality extracts declare % glucosylceramides on the COA (e.g., 10%).
Top 5 Clinically Supported Benefits
1) Skin Hydration ↑ & TEWL ↓
Randomized, placebo-controlled human trials with plant-derived glucosylceramides (including konjac) report higher corneometer hydration and lower TEWL after daily oral use.
Study chips: ~1–3 mg/day glucosylceramides (from a 10% extract = 10–30 mg extract) • 6–12 weeks • Endpoints TEWL, corneometry • DB-RCTs.
2) Barrier Comfort & Smoothness
Clinical work shows reduced dryness/roughness and improved skin feel/comfort scores, reflecting tighter lipid lamellae and better water retention.
Study chips: same dose window • 6–8 weeks • Endpoints roughness visual grading, self-ratings, dermatologist scores • DB-RCTs/controlled.
3) Fine Lines & Elasticity (adjacent improvements)
With improved hydration and barrier integrity, trials frequently note softer fine lines and elasticity index gains (secondary outcomes).
Study chips: 8–12 weeks • Endpoints wrinkle depth/area, R2–R7 elasticity indices • Controlled trials.
4) Tone/Radiance & Sensitivity Ease
Participants often report brighter, more even look and less tightness/itch during dry or seasonal stress—consistent with barrier normalization and lower inflammatory tone.
Study chips: 6–12 weeks • Endpoints TEWL + symptom scores • DB-RCTs/controlled.
5) Hair & Nails Nourishment (supportive)
Emerging human and practitioner reports suggest nail brittleness ↓ and hair feel/shine ↑, plausibly via improved scalp/plate hydration and keratin-matrix support.
Study chips: 8–12 weeks • Endpoints subjective hair/nail assessments • Pilot/observational + mechanistic rationale.

- Glucosylceramides (plant sphingolipids) that replenish the intercellular lipid matrix of the stratum corneum → tighter barrier, less TEWL (transepidermal water loss), smoother feel.
- Supports endogenous ceramide synthesis (CerS/Elovl signaling, shown in translational models).
- Non-grain, non-oil; quality extracts declare % glucosylceramides on the COA (e.g., 10%).
Top 5 Clinically Supported Benefits
1) Skin Hydration ↑ & TEWL ↓
Randomized, placebo-controlled human trials with plant-derived glucosylceramides (including konjac) report higher corneometer hydration and lower TEWL after daily oral use.
Study chips: ~1–3 mg/day glucosylceramides (from a 10% extract = 10–30 mg extract) • 6–12 weeks • Endpoints TEWL, corneometry • DB-RCTs.
2) Barrier Comfort & Smoothness
Clinical work shows reduced dryness/roughness and improved skin feel/comfort scores, reflecting tighter lipid lamellae and better water retention.
Study chips: same dose window • 6–8 weeks • Endpoints roughness visual grading, self-ratings, dermatologist scores • DB-RCTs/controlled.
3) Fine Lines & Elasticity (adjacent improvements)
With improved hydration and barrier integrity, trials frequently note softer fine lines and elasticity index gains (secondary outcomes).
Study chips: 8–12 weeks • Endpoints wrinkle depth/area, R2–R7 elasticity indices • Controlled trials.
4) Tone/Radiance & Sensitivity Ease
Participants often report brighter, more even look and less tightness/itch during dry or seasonal stress—consistent with barrier normalization and lower inflammatory tone.
Study chips: 6–12 weeks • Endpoints TEWL + symptom scores • DB-RCTs/controlled.
5) Hair & Nails Nourishment (supportive)
Emerging human and practitioner reports suggest nail brittleness ↓ and hair feel/shine ↑, plausibly via improved scalp/plate hydration and keratin-matrix support.
Study chips: 8–12 weeks • Endpoints subjective hair/nail assessments • Pilot/observational + mechanistic rationale.
Summary — how Konjac Phytoceramides deliver Glow Guard™ benefits
- Hydration & defense: Oral glucosylceramides rebuild the skin’s lipid mortar, cutting TEWL and lifting moisture levels.
- Anti-aging & radiance: Better hydration and barrier function soften fine lines and enhance surface smoothness/brightness.
- Hair & nails: Systemic barrier support extends to scalp and nail plates for subtle strength/shine benefits over time.

Glow Guard™ - Frequently Asked Questions
Glow Guard™ capsules deliver a comprehensive skin-health blend in each two-capsule serving: 1000 mg Marine Collagen Peptides for dermal matrix repair, 500 mg Vitamin C to drive collagen synthesis and antioxidant defense, 5000 µg Biotin to strengthen keratin structures, 200 mg Turmeric Root Extract (95 % curcuminoids) to counteract oxidative stress, 100 mg Hyaluronic Acid for deep hydration, 50 mg Silica from Bamboo Extract for connective tissue support, 4 mg Astaxanthin for potent free-radical scavenging, and 30 IU d-alpha Tocopherol (Vitamin E) to protect lipid membranes and maintain barrier integrity.
Radiance is restored as Marine Collagen Peptides and Vitamin C stimulate fibroblast activity and inhibit excess melanin production, leading to a more even skin tone. Silica tightens the dermal structure, while Astaxanthin’s antioxidant action helps fade age spots and brighten dull areas. With regular use, these combined mechanisms reveal a healthy, luminous glow from within.
Anti-aging benefits arise from multi-level protection and repair: Turmeric curcuminoids and Astaxanthin neutralize reactive oxygen species to prevent collagen breakdown; Vitamin C stabilizes and cross-links collagen fibers; Marine Collagen Peptides supply essential amino acids for new protein synthesis; and Biotin boosts cellular energy for regeneration. Together, these actions diminish fine lines, improve skin elasticity, and promote firmer, more youthful skin.
Glow Guard™’s Astaxanthin and Turmeric curcuminoids form a powerful antioxidant shield that neutralizes UV-induced free radicals and environmental pollutants before they damage skin cells. Vitamin E reinforces cell membranes against lipid peroxidation, and Hyaluronic Acid creates a moisture barrier that enhances resilience. This comprehensive defense helps skin resist daily oxidative and pollutant stressors.
Hyaluronic Acid’s humectant properties draw and hold water deep within the epidermis, while Marine Collagen Peptides attract moisture to dermal layers for lasting plumpness. Silica strengthens the extracellular matrix to lock in hydration, resulting in skin that feels supple, bouncy, and visibly replenished.
Many users notice improved skin hydration and a subtle dewy glow within the first week due to Hyaluronic Acid’s rapid moisture-binding action. Radiance and skin tone evenness often become evident after 4–6 weeks of consistent use as collagen synthesis and melanin regulation take effect. Structural changes—such as reduced fine lines, enhanced elasticity, and nail strength—typically emerge after 8–12 weeks, reflecting deeper dermal remodeling and nutrient-driven repair.
