Ferulic Acid, extracted from Rice Bran Oil, is one of  the most powerful natural anti-oxidants. from rice bran oil,  Many plants contain Ferulic acid, which plays a key role in  the plants self preservation mechanism, re-enforcing it's  cellular wall strength and protecting it from microbial  damage as well as sun damage, . In vivo testing has shown  Ferulic Acid to be highly effective as a topical  anti-oxidant. Ferulic Acid may help to prevent the  propagation of the free radical chain.

Research has shown that ferulic acid has several benefits,  including:
• Free radical defense. Like other antioxidants — such as  vitamins A, C and E, coenzyme Q10 and alpha lipoic acid —  ferulic acid scavenges free radicals and protects cells from  environmental damage. In particular, it’s effective against  two highly destructive free radicals, superoxide and  hydroxyl radical.
• UV protection. Research suggests that ferulic acid can  help protect skin from UV damage. According to dermatologist  and scientist Karen E. Burke, M.D., Ph.D., in the Skin Aging  Handbook: An Integrated Approach to Biochemistry and Product  Development, ferulic acid interferes with the process by  which UV rays damage cell membranes. In addition, ferulic  acid helps to prevent redness and sunburn from UVB rays.
•     Vitamin preservation. Chances are you’ll find vitamins in  almost any skincare product. The downside? When they’re  exposed to light and air, vitamins can break down and lose  their skin benefits. However, ferulic acid prevents this  process. Specifically, when added to skincare products with  vitamin C or E, ferulic acid prevents the vitamins from  breaking down, spoiling and becoming ineffective, according  to the Journal of Investigative Dermatology.
• Cancer protection. Cancer occurs when cell DNA mutates and  causes irregular, uncontrolled cell reproduction. Ferulic  acid prevents cell mutations and DNA damage, so it might  help defend against cancerous cell growth, especially for  lung and colon cancer. It also plays a role in prompting  apoptosis — or cell death — of cancer cells, notes the  Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Nutrition.
• You'll find it in:
  Clinical ferulic acid concentrations are available over the  counter in serums, face creams and lotions, eye creams and  even lip treatments. Ferulic acid works best when used in  tandem with other antioxidants, such as tocopherol acetate  (vitamin E), ascorbyl palmitate (vitamin C) and alpha lipoic  acid.

Direction for Use

• Topical Use: Add Ferulic Acid to your favorite cream at approximately 1% concentration to easily make a fantastic antioxidant, photoprotective (protects the skin against UVB-induced erythema), and cancer preventive cream.                   It will also help stabilize the very unstable ascorbic acid.
• Oral Supplement: 200-250mg daily or consult your doctor.

Vitamin E  boost collagen production,  prevent UV radiation, repair DNA degeneration,  reduce skin oxidation and prevent any  inflammatory conditions.

• UV radiation from the sun is that it causes the skin to  become photosensitive and may also cause cancerous growth as  well as malignant melanoma and brown spot. When vitamin E is  combined with vitamin C, and applied to the skin, it helps  to reduce the formation of sunburn cells, reducing  sun-induced skin wrinkling and has excellent skin  moisturizing properties, helping prevent premature skin  aging and offers good photo-protection.
• Vitamin E is required for healthy collagen production in the  skin. Vitamin E protects the fibroblast in the skin – these  are the cells that make collagen, which is the support  system in the skin and helps the skin to remain firm and  healthy.
• The topical application of vitamin E prevents the  degeneration of DNA. As we age, the degeneration of DNA can  occur, and such damage to the DNA can also result not only  in skin problems, but also in premature aging. It has been  shown that topical application of vitamin E prevents the  degeneration of DNA, especially when compromised by  photo-damage.
• Vitamin E is one of the best fat (lipid) based Antioxidants.  Vitamin E protects the cells and cell membranes from  free-radical and environmental oxidative stress Apart from  the antioxidant properties, it also helps to moisturize the  skin and even more importantly helps with tissue repair,  thereby keeping the skin in good condition.
• Vitamin E contains powerful anti-inflammatory action and  this can prevent the signs of premature aging, as  inflammatory conditions in the skin is a leading cause of  skin aging In the quest for achieving a youthful looking  skin, it is of prime importance to prevent and to reduce any  inflammatory conditions.

For Topical Use:

• Add small amount VE powder to your favorite serum, lotion or cream  up to 1-2%. It will dissolve in it slowly.
• Apply sparingly; a pea-size amount is enough to  cover your entire face.
• Apply sun scream, limit sun exposure.
• Keep it in dry, cool and dark places.

• As dietary supplement, take 350mg(1/8 tsp) to  510mg(scant 1/4 tsp), up to two times daily.
• Preferably with meal.
• Or consult your physician
• Keep it in dry, cool and dark places.
