Hair, Skin & Nails Gummies - Natural Raspberry - 60 Gummies

Two raspberry gummies a day, with 5000µg of biotin and the zinc and vitamins that contribute to the maintenance of normal hair, skin and nails. Hair, Skin & Nails Gummies pair high-strength biotin, which contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and skin, with zinc for the maintenance of normal hair, nails and skin, vitamin C for normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, and ten more nutrients, 13 in all. Pectin-set, gelatin-free and vegan, in a natural raspberry gummy that replaces a handful of capsules.

Why Kensington Organics chose this formula

Most hair gummies stop at biotin. Biotin's authorised claim covers hair and skin, but nails are a zinc claim, and skin is also where vitamin C earns its place through normal collagen formation, so a beauty formula built on biotin alone is talking about two of the three things on the jar. This one gives 5000µg of biotin per daily dose, a full reference intake of vitamin D, more than the reference intake of vitamins B6 and B12 and folic acid, and zinc, iodine and vitamins A, C and E at meaningful levels. It is set with pectin rather than gelatin, so it suits vegans, and the vitamin D is D2.

Questions people ask

Why is the biotin 10,000% of the NRV? The reference intake for biotin is 50µg; this is a high-strength formula at 5000µg per daily dose. Biotin's authorised claim, the maintenance of normal hair and skin, is the same at any level that counts as a source, so stay at the stated dose rather than taking more.

How long should I take it for? Hair and nails grow slowly, so give it at least the full month in the jar, two gummies at the same time each day.

Is it sugar free? No. Each gummy contains 1.5g of sugar, so 3g in the daily dose, which is what gives a gummy its texture and taste without artificial sweeteners.

Is it vegan? Yes. The gummies are set with pectin, not gelatin, and the vitamin D is D2 (ergocalciferol) rather than an animal-derived D3.
