Vigorcap is a brand that prevents and combats the symptoms of alopecia and nail disorders. It is part of an extensive list of brands operated by Laboratorios Viñas, a family-owned pharmaceutical company founded in Barcelona in 1911. Specialising in the field of health, it has continued the innovative and forward-looking vision of its founder, pharmacist Pedro Viñas, by promoting research into new and original formulations. Through research, Laboratorios Viñas achieves the scientific and social objectives that have always driven it, surpassing the increasingly demanding requirements of quality, safety and efficacy.
Laboratorios Viñas researches, develops, produces and markets its drugs and pharmaceutical products in a wide range of therapeutic areas, including dermatology, gynaecology, paediatrics and general medicine, among others. Laboratorios Viñas is part of the Plan for the Promotion of Research in Spain, currently known as the Profarma Plan, which aims to promote competitiveness in the pharmaceutical industry.
Along with research, the diversification of its business activity into new areas of health has been another key success factor that has earned it the trust of pharmacists, doctors and their patients.
Having celebrated its centenary since its incorporation, the ideals of service to health and the social objective of the founder are still fully valid today as an added value and a sign of identity that is evident in a company made up of a team of more than 200 people.
Its mission is to improve people's health and quality of life through innovation and excellence within our strategic therapeutic orientations, and to contribute to the well-being of the families that make up the company and to be a benchmark in the pharmaceutical industry at a national level and expand its international presence, being recognised as an innovative, solvent and socially committed company.
Vigorcap is a food supplement with a balanced combination of nutritional elements for the nutrition of hair and nails. Its products are formulated with L-cystine, zinc, iron, pantothenic acid, vitamin B6 and biotin.
Lack of vitamins and minerals can cause problems with hair and nails, making them more fragile and brittle. Hair treatments such as shampoos, lotions or nail polishes can help to improve these problems but now you can also help to achieve better results with a nutritional supplement to strengthen hair and nails in capsules.
Adequate zinc intake is one of the factors that help to keep hair and nails in optimal condition. Biotin is a vitamin whose sufficient dietary intake contributes to normal hair maintenance. Cystine is a sulphur-containing amino acid that makes up keratin.
Nails are probably the most distinctive feature of our hands. Above all, because they say a lot about the person, how meticulous their hygiene is, how sophisticated or natural they wish to appear to others, and even their flaws. In other words, they play a key role in the image and, precisely for this reason, are a frequent reason for consultation in the field of dermo-cosmetics.
The prevention and management of brittle nails requires appropriate care. There are also measures that can help to strengthen them.
Avoid aggravating factors. Excessive and overly aggressive washing of hands and feet, cold and repeated trauma - e.g. typing on the computer or contact with running shoes - can weaken the nails. Also the use of toxic or irritating agents can cause brittle and easily broken nails. For this reason, if you come into contact with these substances, it is recommended that you wear rubber or plastic gloves with a cloth liner or cotton gloves.
Maintain proper nail cleanliness. For hand and foot care, a soft brush and neutral soap can be used. It is also essential to cut the nails 1 mm outside the edge and straight across. If nails are filed, avoid the corners to avoid causing wounds through which microbes can penetrate.
Moisturise the nails. Soaking hands and feet in warm water for 10 and 20 minutes, followed by the application of moisturising agents can help strengthen nails. Some of the most effective are lactic acid, urea, phospholipids and low-occlusion mineral oils.
Space out manicures and pedicures. Nail varnish has a protective function, but the use of nail polish removers can counteract its beneficial effect. Nail polish should therefore not be applied and removed more than once a week. It should also be borne in mind that artificial or plastic nails, as well as the glue used to apply them, can make them brittle.
Eat a balanced diet. It is well known that there are nutrients that are necessary for the growth and maintenance of nail integrity. So much so, that it is their deficiency that makes them brittle and dull. The most important of these are amino acid precursors of nail keratin, such as L-cystine and gelatine derivatives, zinc, iron and calcium, as well as D-biotin and vitamin D. A healthy and varied diet is therefore essential for strong nails. However, in cases where nutritional deficiencies may occur, there are mineral and vitamin complexes specifically designed to improve the vitality and growth of nails.
In addition to all these tips for strengthening nails, in certain circumstances, it will be necessary to follow a pharmacological treatment prescribed by the dermatologist.
Hair loss is one of the most frequent reasons for consultation in dermatology. Although it is true that, in the majority of cases, hair loss causes only an aesthetic affectation, it should not be underestimated. Hair is a fundamental part of appearance and is an important sign of personal identity.
This is why hair loss can have a very negative emotional and emotional impact on those who suffer from it, often causing low self-esteem and complexes. That is why it is important to avoid habits that can damage hair and encourage hair loss, such as using a hair dryer at high temperatures, tight hairstyles or excessive exposure to the sun.
To prevent hair loss, it is also essential to follow a balanced diet and manage to control stress. Nutritional supplements can also be of great help at specific times. Although miracle products should be avoided, there are drugs that have been shown to be effective in preventing hair loss. For their part, the use of specific cosmetics and regular haircuts are measures that help to improve the appearance of hair.
Even so, in the event of excessive hair loss, changes in the texture or density of hair or scalp discomfort, a dermatologist should be consulted.
