Biotin, zinc, and selenium: what role do they play in the body?

Biotine, zinc et sélénium : quel rôle dans l'organisme ?

Biotin, zinc, selenium: three names often found on hair supplement labels. Here is their actual role in the body.

Biotin, a B-group vitamin

Biotin, also known as vitamin B8, contributes to the maintenance of normal hair. It is a water-soluble vitamin, provided by your daily diet (notably eggs, nuts, and legumes), which participates in many of the body's reactions.

Zinc, a mineral with multiple roles

Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and normal protein synthesis—a process directly linked to the structure of the hair, which is largely composed of keratin, a protein.

Selenium, an essential trace element

Selenium is a trace element that the body needs in small amounts, but on a regular basis. It helps protect cells against oxidative stress, a mechanism that affects the entire body, including the hair.

Three intakes, one common logic

These three micronutrients share one thing in common: they must be supplied regularly, in appropriate amounts, to perform their role. It is this logic of consistency that guides the formulation of CAPIL'SOURCE™, which brings together biotin, zinc, and selenium alongside other active ingredients in a simple daily routine.
