The Solgar Skin, Nails & Hair with biotin in a pack of 120 tablets is a dietary supplement for adults. With a dose of two tablets per day you get 120mg vitamin C, 150µg biotin, 15mg zinc, 2mg copper, 1000mg OptiMSM, 150mg silica from bamboo shoot extract and 50mg L-proline with L-lysine. The 120 tablets correspond to 60 daily doses.
It is the size for those who have already decided to make a firm two-month commitment and do not want to stop halfway. It is aimed at adults who want a single formula instead of many separate preparations, at those who follow a vegan diet and at those who start taking it in a season of change, such as autumn or spring.
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and the main structural material of the skin. Its chain has a very characteristic pattern, where glycine is repeated every third position and proline appears very often. To obtain the stable, triple helical structure of the chain, some proline residues must be hydroxylated, i.e. receive a hydroxyl group. The enzymes that do this job need vitamin C as a cofactor.
This biochemistry is the reason why vitamin C has the approved claim for normal collagen formation, and explains why a beauty formula also adds the amino acids L-proline and L-lysine, which are structural components of the molecule. The amino acids themselves do not have an approved health claim, while copper, which is also present in the composition, has a claim for the maintenance of normal connective tissues.
According to the product presentation by Solgar itself, it is a specialized beauty formula with vitamins, amino acids and minerals for the nutrition of hair, nails and skin. The company states:
The above statements are attributed to the producer. MSM, silica and the amino acids L-proline and L-lysine do not have an approved health claim by EFSA and remain the subject of research.
It suits adults who have already tried the formula and want to continue without interruption. It suits people who follow a vegan or vegetarian diet and want coverage in zinc and biotin. It suits those who dye their hair frequently or often use thermal tools and want to take care of the nutritional aspect. Finally, it suits those who are looking for a gluten-free, dairy-free and soy-free preparation.
