ethyos - Keratine Cheveux
What this formula is designed for
This supplement is formulated to support the normal maintenance of hair, skin, and nails using a combination of keratin, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and a botanical extract. The composition focuses on providing structural building blocks alongside key micronutrients commonly used in beauty-focused routines. It is intended for everyday wellness use rather than short-term, immediate effects.
Keratin and sulfur amino acids
Hydrolysed keratin is included as a source of structural proteins used in hair and nails. The formula also provides L-methionine and L-cystine, two sulfur-containing amino acids often used to complement keratin-based approaches. Together, these ingredients are positioned to support the nutritional supply of components associated with keratin-rich tissues.
Key hair and nail micronutrients
Biotin is included at 4000 µg and is widely used in hair and nail supplements. Zinc and selenium contribute to the normal maintenance of hair and nails and also support normal cellular protection from oxidative stress. Copper is added as a trace mineral that contributes to normal connective tissue maintenance and normal pigmentation processes.
Collagen support and antioxidant nutrients
Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation, which is relevant for skin structure and connective tissues. Vitamin E, vitamin C, zinc, and selenium contribute to protection of cells from oxidative stress, supporting general resilience to everyday environmental and lifestyle factors. These nutrients complement the formula’s primary beauty focus.
Botanical component: nettle extract
Nettle (Urtica dioica L.) leaf dry extract (10:1) is included, standardized to 1% silica as stated. This botanical is commonly used in beauty and hair routines as a supportive plant-based component. It adds variety to the formula beyond vitamins, minerals, and amino acids.
How the ingredients work together
The formula combines structural inputs (keratin and sulfur amino acids) with micronutrients that support normal tissue maintenance (biotin, zinc, selenium, copper). Antioxidant nutrients (vitamins C and E, zinc, selenium) provide complementary support for overall cellular protection. B vitamins (B3, B5, B6, B9) round out the profile by supporting normal energy-yielding metabolism, which can be relevant for general wellbeing.
