Yamamoto® Research Hair, skin and nails SUPERIOR is a vitamin and mineral food supplement with amino acids, collagen, bioflavonoids, coenzyme Q10 and bamboo extract. Vitamin C contributes to the physiological formation of collagen for the normal function of the skin.

The presence of bioflavonoids, which are a complex of plant pigments with a particular beneficial action (see Hesperidin), is chosen to act in synergistic combination with vitamin C, promoting its absorption and thus providing important protection against the damage caused from free radicals.

Zinc is a highly supportive trace element, antioxidant, and significantly intervenes in maintaining the physiological health of the scalp. It is in fact widely used for the maintenance of healthy and elastic skin and for the strength of the nails. Biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal, stronger hair and skin, while copper contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and skin pigmentation. The presence of the precious hydrolyzed collagen, with the support of hyaluronic acid, is of primary importance for this type of supplement, as collagen is the main fibrous protein of the skin. Collagen fibers provide the infrastructure for elastin, which maintains the skin's elasticity, and for hyaluronic acid, which retains its moisture, thus providing greater hydration and tone. Coenzyme Q10 (or ubiquinol) is essential for the correct functioning of many organs and for carrying out numerous chemical reactions that take place in the body. In fact, it helps to supply the cells with energy, has an antioxidant action and strengthens the immune system. Finally, the bamboo extract, obtained from the stems and leaves of the plant, has a significant content of vegetable silica, and thanks to this it acts by giving hydration and elasticity to skin and hair.

However, we know that the natural production of collagen does not remain constant with age, and indeed already from the age of 25, a slow but inexorable decrease in the production of this protein begins, which causes a progressive weakening with breakdown of the structure of the epidermis. When skin cells become less active, the collagen network that provides firmness and structure breaks down. The skin becomes thinner and more dehydrated, with the appearance of wrinkles that become more and more marked. It is as if the "foundations" of the skin scaffolding are gradually giving way, causing cracks. Even the nails are made up of collagen, and its deficiency causes its weakening. The hair itself needs collagen, which once absorbed is used by the hair follicles to produce keratin, necessary for healthy, flowing hair. The collagen molecules bring beneficial moisturizing and repairing effects on the hair fibre, retaining water inside the hair preventing dehydration and promoting an increase in the diameter of the hair, making it visibly fuller and thicker.
