If your hair is dull, nails cracking or brittle, or skin dry and flaky, the problem may be an issue of nutrition instead of whether or not you are using the correct cream or lotion on the outside. Healthy hair, skin, and nails begin with good nutrition including specific vitamins and minerals. In addition, other natural herbs and supplements may provide further support.
Hair, Skin, & Nails Formula by Vitabase starts with 13 vitamins. Vitamins C and E are powerful antioxidants and participate in a number of activities in the body including supporting good scalp circulation. Antioxidants combat free radical damage which can lead to pre-mature aging of the skin and affect the hair and nails. The B complex is also important for good health. A deficiency of Pantothenic Acid (B5) can cause hair to gray and fall out. Biotin is a key nutrient for hair and nail health. Studies show improvement in nail strength after biotin supplementation. The minerals calcium, zinc, copper, magnesium and manganese all work together and provide ingredients essential to hair, skin and nail growth. Selenium is a trace element and scientists have only recently begun to understand its role in human health. One of these roles is in tissue repair and in contributing to the youthful elasticity of skin. Horsetail helps brittle nails, may slow hair loss and may be helpful in treating acne. PABA has been linked to hair growth. Methionine is a source of sulfur which the body uses to influence hair follicles and promote healthy hair, skin, and nail growth.
The combination of ingredients in Vitabase Hair, Skin and Nails Formula give you a strong nutritional foundation for hair that is thick and lustrous, skin that looks youthful and nails that are strong and won’t crack.
