FAQs
How does collagen help keep hair, skin and nails healthy?
Oh collagen, how could we live without you? Well, we can’t really… It’s the most plentiful protein in our body. You can find it in skin, bones and in every muscle and tendon, creating the structure of the human body.
Unfortunately, as we age, collagen production starts to wind down. This process usually starts around the age of 25 and is why our skin slowly begins to lose elasticity and strength, and our hair and nails can start to weaken.
What are the best minerals/best vitamins for hair?
Multiple vitamins and minerals come together to keep your hair looking and feeling thick, shiny and healthy – for that hair you can’t help but flick. Choose a multivitamin for hair like Holland & Barrett Vitamins for the Hair, or if you know you’re lacking in a certain vitamin, choose a more specific supplement, e.g. a Zinc Hair Supplement.
- Zinc: an essential vitamin your body needs to perform many functions, zinc is important for maintaining healthy hair, skin and nails
- Biotin: also known as vitamin B7, biotin helps the body to metabolise carbohydrates, fats and amino acids, as well as supporting hair health
- Copper: grey and white hair, it happens to us all eventually, but it doesn’t mean we have to like it! Copper can help to maintain your hair pigment
