Hair, Skin, & Nails

Back to Health Concerns

Taking care of your body starts from the inside out. Proper nutrition is essential to keeping hair shiny, skin clear, and nails strong. Stress from the environment, such as sunlight, pollution, wind, and toxins can be very damaging. Emotional and mental stress can also take their toll. The appearance of your hair, skin, and nails reflect your internal state of health. Liver, cardiovascular, digestive, and respiratory health can all show up in outward visible signs. To support your hair, skin, and nails, be sure to eat a balanced diet and take the right nutrients. For total body health, use only chemical-free hand and body products.

Biotin

Biotin is an important coenzyme that is involved in a number of processes in the body. Biotin is a member of the B-vitamin family and is an essential nutrient in human nutrition. Biotin has been widely used for nutritional support of healthy skin, hair and nails. Deficiencies have been linked to brittle nails and hair loss. All of the B vitamins work together and are best used by the body in a B complex, which is why many B complex supplements include a small dose of biotin in them. If additional supplementation of biotin is needed it is best taken alongside a good B complex, such as Pathway B-COMPLEX 50.

GLA

Your body needs certain fats — those fats aptly called essential fatty acids. Black Currant Seed Oil is one of the three known and readily available sources of the important Omega-6 fatty acid gamma linolenic acid (GLA). And unlike the other two commercially available sources of GLA (evening primrose oil and borage oil), black currant seed oil also contains substantial amounts of the important Omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid. As we age, our enzymatic systems become less efficient and we need a supplementary aid to maintain our body’s lipid pool in equilibrium.

MSM

MSM is a natural substance found in food and in the human body. It is a source of sulfur, a mineral that is the raw material for the protein and connective tissue that make up our body mass. The sulfur normally provided to the body by MSM is required for healthy collagen and keratin which are essential for healthy hair, skin and nails.

Zinc

Zinc is an important mineral that supports healthy skin, bones and hair. It is also a key component for hundreds of necessary enzymes and for the support of other antioxidants. Unfortunately, zinc is often deficient in American diets. Make sure you're getting enough with this carefully formulated combination of zinc picolinate and zinc citrate. Pathway’s unique formula blends with the coenzyme form of Vitamin B-6 to ensure rapid absorption.
