Hair, Skin and Nails

Hair, skin and nails are physiologically similar, containing keratin as one of their key components. As such, many of their nutritional requirements are the same: silica and vitamin C for the ongoing production of collagen, zinc to help maintain their cellular structure, and calcium for strength.

Your skin provides many essential functions, such as a natural defence against microbes and UV light damage. Skin is particularly exposed to the elements and aging, leaving your skin vulnerable to dryness and irritation. Therefore, understanding what is required to keep the skin moist, healthy and radiant is important for the health of your skin.

In order to maintain their strength and structural integrity, hair, skin and nails all require adequate nutritional care.
