Ultra HNS contains a clinically studied solubilized keratin called Cynatine® in combination with bioavailable
methylfolate, biotin, zinc and vitamin C, to support the strength and appearance of healthy hair, nails, and skin.
This formula also provides antioxidant protection to help enhance skin health and barrier function.‡
Keratin is an abundant fibrous protein and has an important structural role in hair, skin, and nails. Cynatine®
HNS is a natural bioactive keratin extracted from premium-quality pure New Zealand wool using a unique
patented process that enables the keratin molecule to be solubilized. This enhances its bioavailability to deliver
keratin peptides to the body. In a clinical study, individuals who supplemented with Cynatine® for 90 days had
improvements in hair loss, shine, and brightness. In addition, nails improved in hardness, resistance, and
smoothness, which resulted in less broken nails.‡
Ultra HNS provides Metafolin®, a universally metabolized form of folate that plays an essential role in the health and
growth of epithelial cells. It is chemically identical to the active folate metabolite, 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF),
the predominant naturally occurring form of folate in food. The optimal absorption and bioavailability of Metafolin® may
contribute to healthy skin appearance by enhancing folate levels. The folic acid precursor PABA (para-aminobenzoic
acid) also plays an important role in skin health. PABA has been shown to support the skin’s defenses to environmental
stress by enhancing antioxidant activity. Biotin is an essential B vitamin and water-soluble nutrient. Biotin
supplementation after six months has been clinically shown to support nail firmness and thickness, and to reduce
splitting.‡
The vital trace mineral zinc requires daily intake, as it cannot be stored long-term in the body. Among its many
biological functions, zinc is an important factor in skin barrier function against oxidative stress and plays a role
in skin health through cell division and DNA repair, while also contributing to factors involved in the regulation
of hair growth. Vitamin C is a known antioxidant that quenches free radicals to help protect the skin’s lipids.
Vitamin C supplementation has been shown to support skin health, wrinkle reduction, and collagen synthesis
by directly mediating the generation of free radicals while providing antioxidant protection. The addition of
bioflavonoids improves antioxidant activity, as it works synergistically with Vitamin C, potentially enhancing the
skin benefits.‡
