LOCAL STORIES, BUZZ & A HUMAN-CURATED EVENT ROUNDUP

Pursuit of healthy hair, skin & nail growth has been thoroughly pursued for well over a hundred years in the nutraceutical industry. While many products have been subpar performers and perhaps many more equally toxic, it’s hard to overlook products that produce results & repeat purchases and positive customer feedback. As we always strived to be on the forefront of nutritional supplement offerings, new products have emerged in the arsenal to battle thinning hair, skin & nails.
The first of 2 oral supplements called Beyond Brilliance, combines the benefits of collagen peptides with a patented extract called Lustriva. Lustriva uses stabilized forms of biotin & silica both of which have been shown to promote hair fullness, skin hydration & stronger nails.
A companion combination product called the Big Glow is often added to this regimen that includes keratin, bamboo extracts citrus extracts, & numerous other fruit & antioxidant extracts proven to improve skin elasticity & moisturization, cellular repair & collagen production.
Lastly, a topical product called PTD-DBM + Methyl Vanillate uses a peptide blend that improves hair follicle growth, strength, & integrity through growth factors & signaling pathways involved in hair follicle development. Daily topical application to thinning areas is all that’s needed for this serum.
