Hair and Nails by El naturalista in 48 capsules is a food supplement specifically developed to help maintain healthy hair. It also helps to revitalise fragile and brittle nails. It contains a preparation that combines sulphur amino acids such as taurine, cystine and methionine with essential minerals such as iron and zinc. It also provides folic acid and B vitamins for a blend that promotes recovery and preservation of these parts of the body.
Its high concentration of L-methionine and L-cysteine plays an important role in keratin synthesis. This protein with a helical structure concentrates high levels of sulphur, which is an element present in both nails and hair.
On the other hand, zinc is an inhibitor of 5-alpha-reductase, which is why it is recognised as an essential mineral in the keratin synthesis process. Iron is also considered a key nutrient in the diet. When iron levels are insufficient in the body, it triggers hair fibre loss, which can also lead to dryness and brittleness. Finally, soya lecithin is a component rich in inositol, which stimulates the health of the hair.
To all this, we must add the qualities of the B vitamins that are directly involved in the metabolisation of keratin. At the same time, they promote the proper action of the other minerals. They are closely linked to the growth, resistance, strength and thickness of the nails. In addition, folic acid is important for the cellular renewal of the different tissues present in the body, including hair.
