Blackmores Nails Hair & Skin has been specially formulated to provide nutrients that support the health and structural integrity of the nails, hair and skin. Biotin is an essential vitamin for the structure of the skin, hair and nails.
If body levels of biotin are inadequate, the nails may become soft and brittle and prone to breaking and splitting easily. Skin, hair and nails all contain structural proteins called keratins and consequently all have similar nutritional requirements. For optimal condition, these keratinised structures need an adequate dietary intake of protein, essential fatty acids, and key vitamins and minerals.
Horsetail is a plant source of the mineral silica, which is concentrated in all connective tissue including the nails, hair and skin, where it contributes to the formation of collagen. Vitamin C and zinc are also required for the manufacture of collagen, and play an important role in the body's wound healing processes, and in maintaining the elasticity and suppleness of the skin.
