The Ultimate Guide to Hair, Skin, and Nails Vitamins: A Holistic Approach to Beauty

Introduction

Beauty starts from within – and that's especially true for your hair, skin and nails. Here's a simple guide to the vitamins and minerals that play a role in keeping them normal and healthy.

The foundation: a balanced diet

Your hair, skin and nails rely on a steady supply of nutrients. A varied, balanced diet with plenty of protein, fruit, vegetables, wholegrains and healthy fats is the best place to start.

Key nutrients for hair, skin and nails

• Biotin: contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and normal skin.
• Zinc: contributes to the maintenance of normal hair, normal skin and normal nails.
• Vitamin A: contributes to the maintenance of normal skin.
• Vitamin C: contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin.
• Selenium: contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and normal nails.
• Iodine: contributes to the maintenance of normal skin.

Beyond beauty

Many of these nutrients do more than one job. Vitamin E and zinc contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress, and vitamins B6 and B12 contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
