- Improve your mental state and reduce stress. Meditation is a great way to do this [5], as well as taking natural supplements that can help increase your mood, such as our 5 HTP, Serenity Anti-Stress Support, Saffron Pure Extract OR Organic Ashwagandha with Black Pepper
- Stop smoking
- Arrange a thyroid test
- For hair - limit use of straighteners, and other heat induced devices, don’t wash too regularly, brush too often, tie back too tight or rub your hair with a towel to dry it. Get a haircut at least 3-4 times a year.
- For skin - shower or bathe once a day and always wash after exercise. Don’t use tanning beds or fake tan products.
- For nails - wear gloves when washing the dishes or handling chemicals and don’t use your nails for tasks that require pressure.
We appreciate that making all of these lifestyle changes can be challenging, and it’s always best to make a couple of changes at a time and take a step-by-step process to leading a healthier lifestyle to benefit your hair, skin and nails.
Listed below are vitamins and minerals that can help you achieve your goal of healthy hair, skin and nails:
Vitamin A - Vitamin A is essential for cell growth, and can help to maintain surface tissues (such as skin) [6].
It is a powerful antioxidant and helps to protect your body from free radicals that create oxidative stress [7].
Vitamin C - Vitamin C can’t be produced by the body, yet it has been linked to many impressive health benefits. It plays a key role in connective tissue healing, and is vital in the production of collagen [8].
Collagen is a protein that helps give integrity, strength and shape to many tissues such as fingernails, hair and teeth [9].
Vitamin c deficiency can cause brittle nails and slowed nail growth [10] and its antioxidant properties means it aids in UV radiation protection [11].
Calcium - Calcium deficiency can slow nail growth, and the first signs of a deficiency may be shown in the nails [12].
Iron - Iron aids in the production of hemoglobin (a type of protein found in red blood cells). Hemoglobin carries oxygen to cells and helps them to repair and grow, including cells that help your hair grow [13].
This means that iron also plays a crucial role in skin healing and repair [14], and helps to minimize the appearance of bruises [15].
Vitamin D3 - Keratinocytes are cells in the skin that process keratin, which is a protein found in hair, skin and nails - metabolize vitamin D [16]
When there’s a deficiency of Vitamin D in your body, hair follicles can’t regulate hair growth and shedding efficiently.
Vitamin D has been shown to potentially improve mood and sleep, which will lower stress. Stress can be linked to hair loss, so good levels of vitamin D are essential [17].
Vitamin E - Vitamin E is another powerful antioxidant that can help reduce free radicals and oxidative stress (which has been linked to hair loss). A lot of hair products use vitamin E because it can make hair younger looking and more manageable.
A study on people struggling with hair loss supplemented with vitamin E and showed improved hair growth [18].
Vitamin B1 - Vitamin B1 (thiamine) is essential for cellular functions, production of energy and works as an antioxidant.
It has been shown in studies to help reduce oxidative stress [19]. This means that it can help protect the scalp, hair and nails from UV radiation.
Vitamin B6 - Vitamin B6 is needed to create neurotransmitters that regulate emotions, such as dopamine and serotonin [20]. Therefore, it can help improve your mood and lower stress levels, which in turn can reduce hair loss.
Folate - Folate or Folic acid is mainly responsible for the healthy growth of cells found in your skin tissues (including hair and nails).
Vitamin B12 - Vitamin B12 also plays a role in cell production, and adequate levels promote healthy hair, skin and nails. Vitamin B12 deficiency can also cause a variety of problems, such as nail discoloration [21].
Biotin - Your body needs Biotin to produce keratin (a protein that makes up your hair, skin and nails) [22]. Deficiency can cause brittle nails and uncombable hair.
Vitamin B5 - Vitamin B5, or pantothenic acid plays a key role in helping our bodies to maintain good health.
It is well known for its role in maintaining good health of skin, hair and eyes [23].
Magnesium - Magnesium is involved in protein synthesis in your body, which is required for nail growth [24].
Zinc - Zinc is responsible for many reactions in the body, such as the division and growth of cells.
Because nails are of keratin (a type of cell that divides and grows quickly), zinc is needed to promote the healthy growth of nails [25].
Manganese - Manganese is responsible for producing proline (an amino acid) which is needed to form collagen, which helps with wound healing in skin cells [26].
Potassium - Potassium improves cell renewal in your scalp by stimulating dormant hair follicles [27].
Horse Tail Extract - Horsetail contains many compounds that can be beneficial to health, including antioxidants and silica [28].
Silica (made from oxygen and silicon) is the compound that is believed to be beneficial for your hair, skin and nails [29].
Bamboo Extract - Another herb that contains silica, bamboo also possesses many qualities that can be beneficial to overall health [30].
