Hair, Skin & Nails
Hair, skin and nails are tissues with a high turnover rate that require a continuous supply of building blocks such as biotin, collagen-supporting substances and certain minerals. Deficiencies in these substances often show up first in these tissues, long before other symptoms appear. This category suits those who want to support appearance and structure through nutrition from within, as a complement to a varied diet.
Frequently asked questions
How long before results are visible?
Hair and nails grow slowly, so changes are usually visible at the earliest after 8–12 weeks of continuous intake, in line with the tissue's natural turnover rate.
Is biotin deficiency common?
True biotin deficiency is relatively uncommon in otherwise healthy individuals, but certain groups (e.g. pregnant women or those with certain digestive conditions) may have elevated needs.
Do collagen-supporting supplements actually work?
Collagen-supporting substances are studied for their role as building blocks in skin and connective tissue, but results are affected by several factors including age, diet and sun habits.
