Healthy skin, hair and nails result from a variety of biological factors, including balanced nutrition and a healthy lifestyle. Collagen, the body’s main structural protein, makes up 70% of the skin and is vital in helping to maintain the skin’s firmness, suppleness and elasticity, as well as the constant renewal of skin cells. Research has shown collagen production begins to decrease around the age of 18 and continues to decline at a rate of about 1% per year after age 40. After menopause, skin thickness may decrease at a rate of about 1-2% annually.

It provides several essential vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients needed to support healthy skin, hair and nails. Also provides betaine HCl, which helps to promote efficient digestion and assimilation of proteins and minerals necessary for hair and nail health. It includes MSM, which provides a bioavailable source of sulfur, for connective tissue integrity. Saw palmetto is added to support normal levels of DHT, known to play a role in the thickness and health of hair. In addition, silica (from horsetail grass extract) is included for its collagen-enhancing properties. Each serving contains 100 mg betaine HCl, 320 mg of saw palmetto and 325 mg MSM. Added support from vitamin A, vitamin D₃, folic acid, vitamin B₁₂, biotin and selenium provide a full spectrum of skin, hair and nail support.
