Bamboo Extract contains Silica for hair growth, stronger nails, and healthy collagen production. It promotes skin hydration and may help reduce visible signs of aging. It works to bind with other nutrients delivering these to the scalp follicles. It has a restorative effect on many of the body’s tissues.*

Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin essential for growth and overall body function. It plays a key role in gluconeogenesis, fatty acid synthesis, and amino acid metabolism. Besides aiding energy production, biotin supports protein synthesis, promotes a healthy immune system, and is crucial for skin health.*

Copper is a trace mineral that is essential for bone health, connective tissue health, and skin health. It's also a component of the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase. Because copper and zinc compete with each other for absorption, an individual taking a high amount of zinc can develop a copper deficiency. A copper deficiency can render many cell types, including fat cells and blood cells, more susceptible to oxidation. For this reason, zinc supplementation should be accompanied by copper supplementation. In a clinical setting, copper supplementation protected red blood cells from oxidation.*

The amino acid Glycine plays a key role in maintaining a healthy central nervous system. Glycine also helps modulate cytokines associated with obesity. Glycine is one of three amino acids needed to produce creatine, which in turn supplies energy to muscle and nerve cells. High concentrations of Glycine are found in the muscles, the skin, and other connective tissues. Approximately 30% of collagen is composed of Glycine.*

We incorporate grape seed extract, a component not commonly found in our everyday diet. This extract is rich in beneficial antioxidants that promote healthy aging and are delivered to your gut in a form that is more easily absorbed than if you consumed the seeds directly.*

Lysine is necessary for the production of all proteins in the body, and is required for the maintenance of the structural proteins collagen and elastin, which form all connective tissue such as skin, tendon, and bone. L-Lysine is also a precursor to carnitine, which is needed for fat metabolism and energy production.*

L-Proline is an amino acid that is essential for the synthesis of collagen, the most abundant protein in mammals. Collagen is the main structural protein that constitutes all human connective tissues, including skin, tendons, ligaments, joints, bone, and vasculature (veins and arteries). L-Proline therefore provides building blocks that help to stabilize and strengthen the structural components of the body. Although proline can be made in the body, low protein and vegetarian diets may not provide optimal support for the production of collagen.*

Manganese is a trace mineral that helps the body form connective tissue, bones, blood clotting factors, and sex hormones. It also plays a role in fat and carbohydrate metabolism, calcium absorption, and blood sugar regulation. Manganese is a component of the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD), which helps fight free radicals. Free radicals play a role in aging, as well as the development of a number of health conditions, including heart disease and cancer.*

Vitamin A, also known as beta carotene, is a potent nutrient that shields your skin from the harmful effects of UV radiation from the sun and aids in skin cell regeneration.*

Vitamin C helps turn the amino acids Proline and Lysine into the modified amino acids hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine. These two modified amino acids are unique to collagen. Without hydroxyproline or hydroxylysine, there's no collagen.*

Vitamin E is a strong antioxidant that plays a crucial role in every aspect of the immune system, helping to protect our cells from environmental damage.*

Zinc citrate is a mineral that helps fight oxidative stress and supports the normal functioning of the immune system.*
