possible, such as low-sugar fruits, sprouted/boiled/ fermented/pressure cooked legumes, and a large variety of dark green and cruciferous vegetables.
When detoxifi cation pathways oper- ate inadequately, toxins seep out of the skin and undermine HSN health. Minimizing environmental toxins (found in mainstream house cleaners, laundry detergents, and body care products), and daily consumption of adequate amounts of alkalizing water and detoxifying foods, can greatly support the removal of harmful toxins through excretory systems and organs.
Supportive Dietary Supplements Biotin & Other B-Complex Vitamins:
Safe, water-soluble biotin is critical to the metabolism of amino acids, fatty acids, and glucose. Some limited research and testimonials support biotin supplementa- tion to address the common results of biotin defi ciency, which include brittle nails, hair loss, and skin rashes. High biotin intake, however, can interfere with hormone tests, including those for thyroid hormone and vitamin D, and can thus cause false normal or abnormal results (especially for Graves disease and other forms of hyperthyroidism). Since vitamin B12 and folate are important to red blood cell production and oxygen transportation to nail cells, defi ciencies can cause nail discoloration.
Collagen Protein: As the most abun- dant protein in the body, collagen supports hair, skin, nails, bones, joints, tendons, and ligaments. Aged skin is well known to have reduced levels of collagen types I and III. Wrinkled and sagging skin results from slowed production of new collagen fi bers, increased stiffening, breaking, loosening, and unraveling of existing collagen fi bers, and the fraying and lost elasticity of the elastin network. In a 2019 systematic review of 11 randomized, placebo-controlled stud- ies involving over 800 patients, research- ers concluded that preliminary results are promising for the safe short and long-term use of oral collagen supplements for skin ag- ing and wound healing. They further noted that future studies are needed to determine optimal dosing for various medical uses.
Detoxifying Nutrients: Excretory organs
overloaded with toxins can generate liver spots, wrinkles, fl abby skin, and overall poor organ function that can also negatively im- pact hair and nails. Key detoxifying nutrients include glutathione, milk thistle, stinging nettles, curcumin from turmeric, dandelion, burdock root, and those found in crucifer- ous vegetables, artichokes, caraway seeds, oranges, garlic, and onions.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA): HA is classifi ed as a glycosaminoglycan (GAG), a long poly- saccharide made of glucuronic acid and glu- cosamine. While it draws up to 1000 times its weight in water per molecule, HA quality and production in the body declines with aging. Oral HA supplementation provides intense moisture for all soft tissues, including the skin/scalp, nails, eyes, and joints. One patented, clinically proven liquid HA is par- ticularly effective because it is well-absorbed and works quickly.
Iron: Iron anemia (hemoglobin < 12 g/ dl) is common in women suffering hair loss, yet researchers continue to debate whether low stored iron levels (serum ferritin) actually trigger this health condition. Cells require iron for their supply of adequate oxygen, which in turn is required for healthy nails. An iron defi ciency can thus damage nail shape and appearance. The body best ab- sorbs iron found in animal protein and taking plant-sourced iron with chelating vitamin C enhances its absorption in the intestines.
MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane):
This sulfur compound, naturally found in humans, treats infl ammation and pain when taken orally or applied topically. Sulfur is a signifi cant component of keratin and is antifungal and antibacterial. While research results are inconclusive, user testimonials support taking MSM orally to enhance hair growth. Sulfur has also been widely used to address various dermatological conditions, including rosacea, acne, seborrheic dermatitis, and dandruff.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids (Fish Oil): Omega-3 essential fatty acids in therapeutic doses protect the skin from the sun, keep it hydrated, and help prevent wrinkles. They also help combat psoriasis and eczema, and enhance nail shine and lubrication. Some studies have demonstrated that omega-3s, particularly their DHA component, promote hair growth.
Probiotics: The microfl ora of the gut
are proven critical supporters of the im- mune, neurological, and endocrine systems. As such, researchers have established that they are supportive in reducing eczema and psoriasis, particularly in children.
Silicon (OSA/orthosilicic acid): This
trace mineral readily bonds with oxygen to form silica (also known as silicon dioxide) and is thus rarely found in nature in pure form. Silica is not well absorbed, but clini- cally proven, patented choline-stabilized OSA (ch-OSA) is particularly effective for: (1) hair – reduces hair loss and increases luster; (2) skin – optimizes creation of endogenous Type I collagen and contributes to improved
