The Health Benefits of the Ingredients in Hair+Nail Formula (DFS)

1. Vitamin C-  Vitamin C enhances absorption of non-heme iron from plant foods; this is important because low iron is a common cause of hair thinning. Vitamin C keeps your skin strong from the inside out — it’s what your body uses to make collagen and protect against oxidative damage.Healthy collagen strengthens blood vessel walls and the tissues surrounding hair follicles, encouraging growth. Vitamin C supports collagen production in the nail matrix, promoting stronger, less brittle nails.

2. Thiamin-  Healthy hair and glowing skin start with efficient cell energy. Thiamin helps each cell get the fuel it needs to repair and grow.Adequate thiamin supports vascular tone and nerve signaling, which maintain good blood flow to the scalp and skin.

3. Riboflavin-  Riboflavin supports the production of new cells in the skin, scalp, and hair follicles by facilitating energy metabolism (ATP production).This energy fuels keratin and collagen synthesis, helping maintain strong hair and smooth, resilient skin.

4. Niacin- Niacin helps skin stay hydrated, calm, and resilient by strengthening its natural barrier.Niacinamide supports the production of ceramides, fatty acids, and keratin, which strengthen the skin barrier. Better circulation increases oxygen and nutrient delivery, supporting stronger, thicker hair and potentially reducing hair shedding associated with poor follicle nourishment.

5. Vitamin B6- This vitamin is articularly important for tissues that grow or renew rapidly — like skin and hair follicles — because it helps your body build structural proteins (keratin and collagen) and manage inflammation. Vitamin B₆ helps activate enzymes needed for amino acid metabolism — the process that converts dietary protein into the building blocks for keratin (hair structure) and collagen (skin and connective tissue).

6. Vitamin B12-  This essential B vitamin is required for DNA and RNA synthesis, enabling new cell production in the skin and hair follicles.
Adequate levels help maintain normal hair growth cycles and smooth skin texture.  B₁₂ works with folate and iron to create red blood cells that carry oxygen to tissues. Good circulation and oxygenation nourish scalp and skin cells, promoting stronger hair shafts and a healthy complexion.

7. Biotin- Biotin helps form keratin, which is the main protein that makes up hair shafts. It supports the growth phase (anagen) of the hair cycle and is often recommended in cases of hair thinning or shedding. By aiding fat metabolism, biotin supports the lipid layer of the skin, which retains moisture and keeps the skin barrier intact.

8. Pantothentic acid (Vitamin B5)-  Because hair and skin cells divide rapidly and depend on lipid metabolism and structural proteins, vitamin B₅ plays a key role in keeping them nourished, hydrated, and resilient.  It also aids in cell turnover and detoxification, which may help minimize acne formation.

9. Zinc- Zinc is an essential trace mineral involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions that regulate cell growth, tissue repair, immune balance, and hormone function. It plays a vital role in maintaining skin integrity, wound healing, and hair follicle function, making it one of the most important micronutrients for visible skin and hair health. Zinc acts as an antioxidant, helping to neutralize free radicals that can cause premature skin aging and damage.

10. Copper - Copper is an essential trace mineral that functions as a cofactor for many enzymes involved in collagen and elastin formation, antioxidant defense, and melanin production. These functions are critical for maintaining healthy skin structure, wound healing, pigmentation, and hair integrity.  Through its role in melanin production, copper contributes to the natural color of hair and may help delay premature graying.

11. L-Cysteine- L-Cysteine is a non-essential sulfur-containing amino acid that plays a vital role in the synthesis of proteins, antioxidants, and structural molecules critical for skin and hair integrity. It’s a key building block for keratin, the primary protein in hair, skin, and nails.  It contributes to new hair follicle cell production and repair processes. Helps promote hair follicle cycling and can support healthier, thicker hair over time.
