Grapeseed extract regulated vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in one study; researchers suspect grapeseed extract may have beneficial therapeutic effects in promoting skin wound healing and other skin disorders5. Nail Health While overall health determines the appearance of nails, certain nutrients are specific for promoting proper nail growth. Iron deficiency leads to nails that are thin, brittle, ridged and easily broken6. Zinc and vitamin A deficiency also causes nails to break6. Hangnails may indicate a need for increased vitamin C intake, while vitamins B12 and biotin also contribute to strong nails resistant to breakage6. Our Product & Dosage Two tablets of our Hair, Skin & Nails Multi provides optimal amounts of silica (from natural Horsetail herb), MSM, antioxidants and anti-aging nutrients in addition to a standard spectrum of vitamins and minerals that often constitutes a multivitamin/mineral.

TECHNICAL SUMMARY SHEET Hair, Skin & Nails Multi (549) Indications Hair, Skin & Nails Multi has the following benefits: Promotes hair, skin & nail health Provides antioxidant protection Promotes cellular wellness Supports healthy aging Effects of Nutrient Deficiency The typical Western diet of highly processed and fatty foods quickly depletes the bodys nutrient stores. This, in addition to low intakes of vitamins and minerals, contributes to the outward signs of nutritional deficiencies. Scaly, flaky skin results from a lack of essential fatty acids, while brittle nails are most often directly correlated with lack of certain vitamins and minerals. Antioxidant Protection Vitamins A, C, and E and the minerals selenium and zinc encompass antioxidant nutrients. Oxidative stress is created from the suns UV rays, pollution and other environmental toxins. Antioxidants prevent damage done to cell membranes by free radicals produced in this oxidative stress cascade. Hair Health Both Horsetail herb (Equisetum arvense) and MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) are used in many products supporting hair health due in part to their ability to promote collagen and keratin formation. Collagen provides the structure to tissue and when firm, results in a taut skin appearance. E. arvense showed cognitive enhancement in aged rats; researchers suspected this was due to the plants antioxidant capability1. Another showed it had anti-inflammatory properties when mice were given E. arvense2. Both biotin and iron deficiency may lead to hair loss. Skin Health With respect to nutrients, both antioxidants and substances supporting collagen and keratin production are the two most important factors in skin health. Long known for supporting healthy circulation, oral vitamin E dietary supplements were recently shown to almost double vitamin E levels in the skins surface3. Enhanced antioxidant levels in the skin are believed to shield environmental and solar damage. Alpha lipoic acid functions as an antioxidant both inside and outside of cells, as it is both water and fat soluble. More notably, it can recycle other antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, CoQ10 and
