Why are keratin and biotin such a potent combination?

If your scalp is weak, hair simply cannot “anchor”—or hold its place within the membrane where skin and follicle meet. Studies show that this anchoring relies on the strong presence of a binding protein, collagen type 5.

And researchers have discovered that keratin protein can help stimulate collagen production, combat free radical damage and improve the strength of the anchoring hair membrane.

Studies show that biotin alone can promote nail health, while improving nail thickness and hardness. Biotin also serves a very important role in how our body breaks down and properly utilizes amino acids, the structural units that make up proteins. In fact, your body needs biotin to convert amino acids into the keratin protein.

So, biotin and keratin work in combination to strengthen hair follicles to reduce shedding, and to promote thicker, less brittle nails.
