As autumn sets in, many of us are plagued by hair loss. It is not just seasonal changes that are to blame; stress, an unbalanced diet, hormones and reduced blood flow to the scalp also play a part. And last but not least, as we get older, the production of collagen and keratin – the building blocks of healthy hair – slows down. We’d love to tell you more about the power of keratin and the ingredient KeraGEN-IV!
Strong hair is less likely to fall out and break. Keratin, a protein naturally present in our bodies, is vital for maintaining strong and healthy hair. It forms the building blocks of our hair and helps to strengthen and protect it. Unfortunately, the keratin present in the hair can break down for various reasons, leading to weaker hair that falls out easily. Fortunately, keratin supplementation can reverse this process.
KeraGEN-IV is the solution for healthy, shiny and voluminous hair. It is a bioactive, soluble form of keratin that is easily absorbed by the body. Derived from the keratin found in the natural fibres of New Zealand sheep’s wool, it is largely identical to human keratin and works exceptionally well with the body. Here is a summary of the key characteristics of this type of keratin:
1. Rich in cysteine
Keratin provides a high level of cysteine. This amino acid plays an important role in strengthening the protein structures in hair, skin and nails.
2. Stimulates the production of collagen types IV and VII
Collagen strengthens the hair follicles. Keratin stimulates the production of collagen types IV and VII. These specific types ensure the stability of the hair follicles and a firm anchorage in the scalp.
3. Reduces oxidative stress
Oxidative stress plays a major role in hair loss. Keratin regulates the production of taurine and glutathione. This combination is important in reducing oxidative stress and cell damage, and in supporting metabolism.
In short, KeraGEN-IV promotes hair health and volume. It works synergistically with collagen and other nutrients such as MSM, biotin, zinc and copper. We can process KeraGEN-IV into capsules or tablets for you.
