Biotin and Zinc for Skin + Hair. Copper for Connective Tissue and Hair Color. Vitamin C for Collagen Formation
Whether hair is curly or fine, and skin light or dark, is largely genetic — but thick, glossy hair, healthy-looking skin and firm connective tissue are widely valued markers of appearance. A balanced diet can support this from within, since skin, hair, connective tissue and nails all draw continuously on nutrients supplied through food.
Healthy connective tissue matters for skin elasticity and firmness, and is in constant renewal. Doppelherz Silica + Collagen combines silica and collagen hydrolysate with supporting micronutrients:
- Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal skin, hair and nails.
- Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation and normal skin function.
- Biotin supports the maintenance of normal skin and hair.
- Vitamin B6 contributes to the normal synthesis of cysteine, an amino acid that is a component of hair.
- Copper plays a role in normal connective tissue maintenance and contributes to normal hair pigmentation.
By area: Skin — vitamins C, B2, biotin, copper and zinc all play a role. Connective tissue/collagen — vitamin C supports collagen synthesis; manganese contributes to normal connective tissue formation; copper supports its maintenance. Hair — biotin, selenium and zinc play a role; copper supports normal hair color; vitamin B6 supports cysteine formation. Nails — selenium and zinc support maintenance. Energy metabolism — pantothenic acid and copper contribute. Amino acid metabolism — folic acid supports normal amino acid synthesis; molybdenum contributes to sulphur-amino-acid metabolism.
Directions: Take 2 tablets daily with some liquid, without chewing.
