Benefits backed by science

Vitamins & minerals

Our Hair & Nail Complex contains a range of carefully selected vitamins and minerals such as:

Biotin: Also known as vitamin B7, biotin has been shown to strengthen your hair and increase its density. It is closely associated with keratin, the structural protein that makes up much of your hair and nails.

Beta carotene: Encourages hair growth and is said to prevent dandruff.

Zinc: An essential trace element which through its role in keratin synthesis, is fundamental to the growth and vitality of the hair and nails. Zinc is also involved in the synthesis of essential fatty acids which nourish the tissues surrounding the capillary bulb and prevent them from drying out. It is essential for the mobilisation of vitamin A which helps lubricate the hair, hydrate the scalp and prevent shedding of the skin (dandruff). Zinc deficiency can weaken the hair and nails, manifesting as slower hair growth and weak, brittle and split nails. In cases of male-pattern baldness, it helps inhibit 5-alpha-reductase, an enzyme found in the scalp which causes excess sebum and hair loss.

Amino acids

Hair and nails are largely made from keratin, a tough structural protein built from amino acids. Our Hair & Nail Complex contains three carefully selected amino acids:

L-cysteine: A non-essential amino acid that contributes to protein production in the body. It plays an important role in keeping overall hair health. One of few amino acids that has the ability to form disulfide bonds in the body. These disulfide bonds hold together the keratin strands within the hair, which provide the hair with its fibrous properties that hold on to moisture and prevent hair dryness. L-cysteine directly helps in maintaining the texture and thickness of hair.

L-methionine: A sulfur-containing amino acid that improves the tone and elasticity of the skin, promotes healthy hair and strengthens the nails. It also promotes healthy skin, hair and nails due to its involvement in the body’s natural detoxification process by protecting cells from pollutants and slowing down cell aging.

Glycine: The principal amino acid in the body’s predominant protein, collagen, which has been shown to increase the strength of your nails by preventing brittleness, age-associated hair thinning and discoloration, as well as hair loss. Additionally, it may stimulate your hair and nails to grow longer.

Horsetail plant extract

The answer to how horsetail can be so beneficial to hair, skin and nail health lies in its silica content, a nutrient known for boosting skin, hair and nail health. As a result, two of horsetail’s most well-known uses are its employment for brittle nails and in providing your hair with luster.

Why take our Hair & Nail Complex

Enhanced formulation

Our Hair & Nail Complex includes a range of powerful ingredients that research suggests will not only stimulate, but also help maintain rich, smooth, thick hair and strong, shiny, nails.

First, a range of specifically selected essential vitamins and minerals, including biotin, zinc and beta carotene, which research suggests promote and maintain hair and nail health.

Second, amino acids, which are the building blocks of collagen, elastin and keratin, the structural substances that make up healthy hair and nails.

Third, horsetail, part of the equisetaceae family of plants that has been on the planet for nearly 300 million years. It contains a soluble source of silica, a mineral known to be essential in the development of healthy hair, skin and nails.
