SUPPORTS HEALTHY HAIR, SKIN AND NAILS WITH NATURAL KERATIN
KeraGEN-IV® is a natural of the fingernails, hair and skin.
Keratin supports the body’s ability to make collagen IV and VII, which are only synthesized in the human body, irreplaceable by dietary collagen. These unique collagens are responsible for skin strength, elasticity, and for strong anchoring of hair in the hair follicle. While keratin from animal sources are insoluble and indigestible, our unique keratin formulation sets us apart.
INTRODUCING KERAGEN-IV®
KeraGEN-IV®, is a pure keratin protein that is gently extracted to make it fully bioactive and digestible. KeraGEN-IV® is made from sheep’s wool keratin, which is 91% homologous to human keratin. But unlike bovine collagen, keraGEN-IV® is considered vegetarian-friendly, because sheep’s wool is renewable; the animal simply grows more wool after it is sheared.
Science
Keratin has been shown to improve the health of skin, hair & nails1,2:
- Supports skin elasticity by building the dermal-epidermal junction
- Stronger hair follicles by promoting anchoring of follicles in the scalp
- Healthy nail growth by providing the right amino acid balance.
Studies with KeraGEN-IV® in human keratinocytes have shown that increased collagen IV expression is induced by the protein3. Further preclinical work demonstrated that collagen IV expression is induced around the hair follicle4.
