NEW IMPROVED FORMULA: Oriental Botanicals Hair Skin Nails Excel combines key nutrients for healthy hair, skin and nails with the traditional Chinese herb dong quai.
Biotin
Taking a biotin supplement can help to reduce hair loss if your diet contains inadequate quantities of this valuable nutrient, which is found in foods like eggs, fish, meat, sunflower seeds and sweet potatoes.
Biotin also supports the strength of the nails and helps keep them strong, and is involved in maintaining healthy skin.
Zinc and vitamin C
Zinc and vitamin C support skin health. They also play a vital role in the formation of healthy collagen, a protein that helps give the skin, hair and hair follicles their structure.
In addition, zinc supports wound healing and skin repair and helps maintain the health of the hair and nails, while vitamin C has antioxidant properties to help reduce the body’s formation of free radicals.
Hair, Skin Nails Excel contains zinc glycinate, a highly bioavailable form of zinc that is more easily absorbed than some other types of zinc (e.g. zinc sulfate).
Silica
Also known as silicon, silica is a mineral that’s found in a wide range of plant-based foods, including whole grains and vegetables like carrots and green beans. Like zinc and vitamin C, it’s involved in the formation of healthy collagen.
Dong quai
In TCM, the blood is traditionally believed to provide nourishment to the hair, skin and nails, helping to keep them in good condition.
Dong quai is traditionally used as a blood tonic in TCM, and therefore to help improve the condition of the hair, the strength of the nails and the general health of the skin (where it acts by relieving dryness).
