Supplements for good looking nails and healthy nails

A lack of collagen can affect the nails so that they are of poorer quality.

The nails, and even your skin and hair are made up of proteins like elastin, collagen and keratin. When your body can't make these proteins, it can result in brittle or thinning hair, dry and flaky skin, and deep ridges on the nails. Keratin is a type of protein that forms the cells that make up the tissue in nails and other parts of the body. Keratin plays an important role in nail health. It protects the nails from damage by making them strong.

Taking collagen and keratin as dietary supplements can increase nail strength by preventing nails from becoming brittle.

Collagen and keratin along with biotin and zinc help with finer nails and increase nail quality. The dietary supplements contain important nutrients that contribute to better nail quality and stronger nails.

KERATIN - SKIN & HAIR BOOSTER™ contains keratin which:

• Improves & strengthens the resilience & appearance of nails

• Reduces brittleness of nails

BIOTIN (VITAMIN B7)

A deficiency in biotin, will produce ridges along the nail bed.

Biotin, also known as vitamin B7, coenzyme R and vitamin H. It promotes healthy cell growth and aids in the metabolism of protein-building amino acids that are essential for nail growth. A supplements with biotin may help strengthen your brittle fingernails.

ZINC

Approved health claim for zinc and nails: Zinc contributes to maintain normal nails.

Zinc is an essential mineral that helps the body inside and out. 

Without enough zinc, the rate of nail growth decreases, and the nails themselves become fragile and brittle, causing them to crack and cause nail dystrophy. Nail dystrophy is the discoloration and distortion of a person’s nails. If zinc quantities in the body are particularly low, a person may lose their nails completely.

Nails are made up of a type of cell that grows and divides rapidly. Because of this fast production, a steady supply of zinc is needed to promote the healthy growth of nails.

Zinc deficiency can affect the nails in many ways:

• Brittle nails. Brittle nails are thin and break very easily. They may split horizontally, forming layers.

• Cuticle inflammation and paronychia. Paronychia occurs when there is an infectiion around the nail. The cuticle is dead skin that a person can see at the base of the nail. Zinc deficiency can cause the cuticle to become inflamed.

• Degeneration of your nail plate, causing the appearance of white spots on your nails.

• Beau’s lines
