Beauty Nutrient Formula

Our gummies provide Biotin (5000mcg), Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Zinc - nutrients involved in the structure and function of hair, skin, and nails. Each bottle contains 60 pectin-based gummies.

These nutrients serve as cofactors and building blocks for proteins and structures in hair, skin, and nails.

Understanding Hair, Skin & Nail Structure

Hair Structure

Hair is composed primarily of keratin, a fibrous structural protein. Each hair strand has three layers: cuticle (overlapping scales), cortex (90% of weight, contains melanin), and medulla. Hair grows approximately 0.3-0.5mm per day (~15cm or 6 inches per year).

Skin Structure

Skin has three layers: epidermis (outermost, 0.05-1.5mm thick), dermis (1-4mm thick, contains collagen and elastin), and hypodermis (subcutaneous fat). The epidermis renews approximately every 28-40 days.

Nail Structure

Nails are composed of keratin. Fingernails grow approximately 3-4mm per month, toenails grow approximately 1-2mm per month. The nail plate is approximately 0.5-0.75mm thick.

Understanding the Four Nutrients

Biotin (Vitamin B7)

Biotin is a water-soluble B-vitamin with the chemical formula C₁₀H₁₆N₂O₃S. It functions as a cofactor for five carboxylase enzymes involved in fatty acid synthesis, amino acid catabolism, and gluconeogenesis.

The Adequate Intake (AI) for biotin is 30 mcg per day for adults. Our gummies provide 5000mcg, which is approximately 167 times the AI.

Biotin deficiency is rare but can cause hair loss, skin rash, and brittle nails. Research on biotin supplementation for hair/skin/nails in non-deficient individuals shows mixed results. A review of 18 case reports found improvements in nail and hair conditions, but most cases involved underlying biotin deficiency or metabolic disorders.

Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid)

Vitamin C (C₆H₈O₆) is essential for collagen synthesis. It serves as a cofactor for prolyl hydroxylase and lysyl hydroxylase, enzymes that hydroxylate proline and lysine residues in procollagen. This hydroxylation is necessary for collagen stability.

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body, comprising approximately 30% of total protein. Type I collagen is the primary collagen in skin (approximately 80-85% of dermal collagen).

The RDA for vitamin C is 75-90mg. Vitamin C also functions as an antioxidant, protecting cells from oxidative damage.

Vitamin E (Tocopherol)

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that exists in eight forms. Alpha-tocopherol is the most biologically active form. It protects cell membranes from oxidative damage by donating hydrogen atoms to free radicals.

The RDA is 15mg (22.4 IU) of alpha-tocopherol. Vitamin E accumulates in skin, with concentrations highest in the stratum corneum (outermost layer).

Zinc

Zinc is an essential mineral (atomic number 30) that serves as a cofactor for over 300 enzymes. It is involved in protein synthesis, DNA synthesis, and cell division - all critical for hair, skin, and nail growth.

The RDA is 8-11mg. Zinc deficiency can cause hair loss, skin lesions, and nail abnormalities. The skin contains approximately 6% of total body zinc.

How to Use

Take two (2) gummies daily. Chew thoroughly before swallowing. Can be taken with or without food.
