All About Keratin

Long an ingredient in topical products, keratin has become the latest breakthrough nutrient in supplements for hair, skin, and nail health.

Keratin is a protein in our bodies that supports the structure of skin, nails, and hair, but a poor diet or simply getting older leads to lower levels. The result can be dry and wrinkled skin, brittle nails, and more fragile or thinning hair. Keratin has been an ingredient in hair products for many years, and more recently it became available in supplements to boost levels—and beauty—from within.

THE BREAKTHROUGH

Years of research led to a special process to make keratin absorbable in supplements. This form of keratin, called Cynatine HNS is now found in many beauty formulas, and has been shown to improve the health and appearance of skin, hair, and nails.
