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.
