Hair care starts in the follicle, not in the brush.
Hair Beautification is a hair vitamin with millet extract: 300 mg of Keranat® standardised millet seed extract per capsule, with zinc, vitamin B6 and biotin at levels matching the full daily reference intake. One capsule a day. No megadoses, and no list of ingredients you cannot look up.
Hair vitamins in amounts you can check
Most hair vitamins on the market rest on biotin at 5,000 or 10,000 micrograms. The authorised claim about hair is satisfied at 50 micrograms, which is 100 per cent of the reference intake, and that is the amount in Hair Beautification. Biotin and zinc contribute to the maintenance of normal hair, zinc also contributes to normal protein synthesis, and vitamin B6 contributes to normal cysteine synthesis. Cysteine is one of the amino acids hair is actually built from.
Keranat® millet extract from Robertet in Grasse
The active constituent is miliacin, a triterpenoid from millet seed, encapsulated in polar lipids so that it survives the gut. The material comes from Robertet, a house founded in Grasse in 1850 and today one of the ten largest fragrance and flavour companies in the world. The 300 mg is exactly the dose tested in the randomised, double blind, placebo controlled trial of 65 women over twelve weeks, in which telogen density fell significantly and scalp dryness improved.
Hair, skin and nails in one capsule
Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal hair, normal skin and normal nails. Those are three authorised wordings for one mineral, and they apply at 10 mg, which is exactly what the daily dose provides. Hair, skin and nails are built from the same kind of protein and respond to the same shortfalls, which is the whole reason they are usually named together.
Twelve weeks is the honest timeframe
The follicle works slowly. In diffuse shedding the trigger sits roughly three months before what you see in the shower, and regrowth can take just as long to start. A product promising a visible difference in four weeks is promising something the tissue cannot deliver. The trial on Keranat® ran for twelve weeks, and that is the time we ask for.
Frequently asked questions
Which vitamins are good for hair?
In the EU, biotin and zinc carry the authorised wordings about maintaining normal hair. Vitamin B6 contributes to normal cysteine synthesis. A B complex sold as a hair vitamin rests in practice on one of them. Hair Beautification contains biotin, zinc and B6, each with its amount printed.
How much biotin do you need for hair?
The reference intake for adults is 50 micrograms a day, and that is the level the hair claim is built around. Hair products carrying 5,000 or 10,000 micrograms sit one to two hundred times above it. High intakes also interfere with troponin and thyroid tests, so tell whoever draws your blood.
Can a supplement make hair thicker?
Nutrition reaches the follicle, not the visible hair shaft, which is dead keratin. What a supplement can do is give the follicle what it needs in amounts you can check. Persistent or sudden hair loss is a medical question and belongs with a doctor.
How do you take Hair Beautification?
One capsule a day, ideally with a meal, for at least twelve weeks.
