Patient One Hair, Skin and Nail Care combines a unique, advanced form of keratin with collagen, vitamins and minerals to provide the building blocks for strong hair, skin and fingernails in a convenient 1-capsule daily dose. As we age, the body’s collagen and keratin production slows, and hair, skin and nails begin to change. Stress, diet, hormone changes and environmental exposure also play a role in the health of hair, skin and nails. With aging, the rate of hair growth slows and hair may start to thin and fall out. Fingernails grow more slowly and may become dull and brittle. Skin begins to wrinkle and sag.
Key Ingredients
Patient One Hair, Skin, and Nail Care features a clinically studied dose of keraGEN-IV™, a soluble and bioactive form of keratin–the most common form of protein in hair, skin and nails. Keratin is typically insoluble and indigestible, thus not available to the body when ingested in supplements. The advanced, patented process used to create keraGEN-IV enables the keratin molecule to be made soluble by breaking the insoluble and indigestible disulfide links, leaving a bioactive, digestible form. keraGEN-IV works synergistically with dietary collagen to support the body in producing structural proteins that smooth wrinkles plus strengthen hair follicles and nails. This ingredient has strong science and boosts production of collagen IV and VII.
Type I Marine Collagen:
Type I collagen is the most prevalent type of collagen in the body and is associated with minimizing fine lines and improving skin hydration and elasticity. It is also linked to fingernail strength and plays a role in growing stronger and thicker hair. Our formula provides hydrolyzed Type I fish collagen peptides to replenish key amino acids needed for the body to produce collagen. The amino acid makeup of supplemental dietary collagens are very similar to those in human collagens, making dietary collagen peptides an excellent option for supporting normal body collagen turnover and replenishment. Hydrolyzed marine collagen provides a small particle size and low molecular weight for enhanced bioavailability.
Collagen and Keratin Co-factors are micronutrients that work to benefit skin, nails, and hair structures and include biotin, vitamin A, and several minerals in chelated form for superior absorption. Retinyl palmitate is a pre-formed type of vitamin A that is easily absorbed by the body. Stored until needed, it then converts to retinol and gently provides benefits for fingernails, hair, and skin, including enhanced skin tone and smooth skin. Studies show it both inhibits the breakdown of collagen as well as stimulates new collagen. Retinyl palmitate works to maintain healthy liver cells that support elimination of toxins from the blood, allowing for the development of keratin and collagen.
Zinc is required for skin cell growth and function, helps to keep skin elastic and firm and supports healing. As with zinc, copper is needed for the formation of strong connective tissue in collagen synthesis, and both minerals protect cells from oxidative stress. Copper upregulates collagen and elastin components and also contributes to normal skin and hair pigmentation. Both minerals are associated with promoting reduction of wrinkles and fine lines. Copper promotes the proliferation and activity of keratinocytes, the cells responsible for synthesizing keratin. Importantly, copper recruits keratinocytes to areas where they are needed, playing a key role in supporting the repair of skin and wounds.
