Biotin Complex Hair & Skin - 60 Capsules

Pure Encapsulations Biotin Complex Hair & Skin 

Enhanced Biotin Complex to Support Healthy Hair and Skin

Lustriva® is a unique, patented, clinically inositol-stabilized arginine silicate and magnesium biotinate complex to support hair and skin health. It contains biotin, a B vitamin that plays an important role in maintaining skin health, and silica, a mineral cofactor that plays a role in collagen integrity. The biotin in Lustriva is 40 times more soluble than standard D-biotin. 

Key Benefits and Features:  

• Ages 18 and up
• Healthy hair and skin support
• In a clinical trial, improvements in the depth of fine lines were detected after 12 weeks
• Significant support for fuller, thicker hair in the same study after 12 weeks
• Offers clinically-researched, inositol-stabilized arginine silicate and magnesium biotinate complex
• Enhanced solubility of biotin 
• Convenient once-daily dosing

More Info.

In a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial of 90 healthy women (35-58 years old) with self-reported thinning hair, supplementing with 160 mg Lustriva® for 12 weeks supported the growth of fuller, thicker hair. This was measured as the percentage of vellus hair (fine baby hairs), the percentage of terminal hair (longer, stronger hairs), and the ratio of vellus to terminal hair. Lustriva® also improved skin texture and supported skin appearance, measured as maximal wrinkle depth, overall fine line score, and skin texture roughness. Lustriva® reduced fine lines and skin roughness in 12 weeks compared to baseline. In a preclinical study, Lustriva® complex promoted hair density in mice by 23.9% on day 14 and 37.5% on day 21 compared to the control. Hair in the active growth phase increased by 38.7% and 43% on days 14 and 21, respectively, while hair in the resting phase decreased by 26% and 31.8%. These changes were believed to be due in part to induction of the Wnt/β-Catenin pathway, which regulates hair follicle function. Preclinical data indicate that magnesium biotinate is more bioavailable than standard biotin.  When magnesium biotinate was given to animals, levels of biotin in the liver increased by 47% and 27% compared to the same amount of each nutrient given separately. Preclinical evidence also suggests that Lustriva® complex promotes biotin-dependent enzyme activity and may support skin protection.
