Key Ingredients for Hair Health
With endless tips online about how to make hair stronger and shinier, it’s easy for people to get overwhelmed and frustrated when nothing seems to work.
That’s why knowing the science behind hair health is crucial. By understanding what key nutrients our hair needs and how they work, we can help maintain and support hair health.
Sulfur
Sulfur supports healthy hair by acting as a key structural component of the building blocks of a healthy scalp and strong hair. It helps form glutathione, a critical player in one of the body’s major antioxidant defense systems. This is important because our hair is made up of a complex molecular network that is susceptible to oxidative stress and sulfur helps minimize this stress.3
Sulfur also works with collagen, a component of healthy skin, supporting cross-linking of proteoglycans and collagen.4 This contributes to the maintenance of healthy function of the scalp. Sulfur promotes the synthesis of key proteins like keratin too. Keratin is the primary structural component of hair and relies on sulfur to bind to other keratin proteins to stabilize its structure. This sulfur-sulfur bond is the core backbone of hair structure.5
Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM)Zinc
Zinc is another key nutrient that helps promote healthy hair. This essential mineral cannot be produced by our body on its own and must be obtained through diet.
Zinc plays a key role in the synthesis and function of proteins like keratin and collagen, which provide structure and promote healthy hair and skin.6
