Olive leaf extract is an antioxidant 5x stronger than vitamin C against oxidative stress in the body (hair is damaged by stress).

This extract stops stress-related hair loss.

Building blocks & Co-factors

L-cystine and L-Methionine are the building blocks of keratin. Natural hair consists of 95% keratin. Biotin helps strengthen hair growth and brittle nails. Cells that build hair count on zinc to work better. Vitamin B6 supports zinc and biotin.

Biotin (vitamin H)

Overview

Biotin is an essential nutrient, also known as vitamin B7, that is essential for numerous enzymatic processes in the brain and body. Although humans need biotin for everything from food metabolism to supporting neurological function, we cannot make our own biotin, making us dependent on food sources and gut bacteria.

Working

Biotin acts as a coenzyme for multiple carboxylases in humans, and it alters the irreversible carboxylation of acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA.These enzymes are vital in numerous metabolic processes. The mechanism of action of biotin occurs by attaching to specific lysine residues.

Benefits

Improves the health of the hair

Supports nail health

Breaks down macronutrients
