Hair follicles and nail matrices are rapidly dividing tissues that rely on a steady supply of micro-nutrients.
Keratin synthesis pathways
Zinc contributes to normal protein synthesis and cellular division, while biotin (vitamin B7) acts as a coenzyme in fatty acid metabolism essential for hair shaft and nail plate formation.
Consistency over time
Because nail and hair growth cycles require months to show change, evaluate nutritional routines over an 8 to 12 week period. Speak to a doctor if experiencing sudden or patchy hair thinning.
