Hair, Skin and Nails Essentials Supplement 5,000mcg Biotin Per Serving with Zinc & Iron Capsules - 30 Servings, Gluten Free

You want your hair, your skin and your nails looked after, and you want something done about the tiredness that turned up in the same year.

The usual answer is two bottles. A beauty formula covers the three tissues in its name and stops there. A general multivitamin spreads itself thin and rarely carries the iron that heavier periods ask for. You pay twice, you take more, and the shortfall underneath it all is still sitting there.

Here is what is doing the work in two capsules:

• The iron comes with the vitamin C that unlocks it. Iron at 14.5 mg contributes to normal oxygen transport and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Vitamin C at 120 mg increases how much iron you take from food, and the two share a capsule for exactly that reason.
• Zinc covers all three tissues at once. Zinc at 7 mg contributes to the maintenance of normal hair, normal nails and normal skin, which is every tissue named on the front of this bottle.
• Biotin and vitamin B6 work on the hair itself. Biotin at 5,000 mcg contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and normal skin. Vitamin B6 at 8 mg contributes to normal cysteine synthesis and to the regulation of hormonal activity.
• Manganese builds the structure underneath. Manganese at 4 mg contributes to the normal formation of connective tissue, which is what your skin sits on and what your follicles are set into.
• A full multivitamin layer sits under all of it. Vitamin D at 20 mcg and magnesium at 120 mg for bone and muscle, folate and vitamin B12 for cell division, vitamin E for the protection of your cells from oxidative stress.

VERA Hair, Skin and Nails Essentials is two capsules a day taken with food, thirty servings to a bottle, and what you get for it:

• You buy one bottle instead of two. The beauty formula and the multivitamin arrive together, at one price and inside one habit.
• Your energy gets worked on, not only your hair. Five nutrients in here contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue: iron, folate, vitamin B12, vitamin C and magnesium.
• All three tissues are covered together. Zinc carries hair, nails and skin at once, and biotin, vitamin C and manganese come at them from three more directions.
• It is built for these particular years. Heavier periods are what empty iron stores, and that is the stretch of life this formula was designed around.

Three different things are moving at three different speeds, and it helps to know which is which.

⏳ Tiredness is the fast one

Iron stores rebuild on a scale of weeks rather than days. If iron was what was holding your energy down, this is the part of the formula that tends to make itself known first, and the vitamin C beside it is there to make every meal count for more.

🍽️ Food is part of the dose

Iron sits far better on a full stomach, which is why the label asks for food. A meal with some fat in it also helps vitamins A, D and E arrive properly. One capsule with breakfast and one with dinner works just as well as two at once, and is gentler again.

💅 Nails report back before hair does

Nails renew faster than hair, so they are usually where you see something first. Hair runs on a longer cycle and asks for a season rather than a month. Knowing which clock you are watching stops you judging the whole bottle on the slowest one.

🧪 Biotin and your blood tests

Biotin at this strength changes the numbers that come back on thyroid, hormone, vitamin D and cardiac tests. Leave eight hours between your last capsule and a blood draw, and mention it to whoever is taking the blood. It is one piece of timing and it keeps your results clean.

😬 Skin can go the other way first

Breakouts are a known reaction to biotin at this strength, usually somewhere in the first six weeks, and they clear once you stop. Worth hearing now rather than working it out for yourself in week three.

🩸 Iron is worth measuring

Ferritin is an ordinary blood test and it tells you where your iron stores actually sit. It is a useful number to have before you start and again a season later, because it turns how you feel into something you can read.

Every claim on this bottle rests on a nutrient with a research record behind it. Here is what each one is for.

• Iron carries the oxygen. Iron contributes to normal oxygen transport and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. It is the nutrient that heavy bleeding costs you most of, and it is the reason this formula exists in the shape it does.
• Vitamin C opens the door for it. Vitamin C contributes to increased iron absorption from food, so what you eat alongside these capsules gives up more of its iron than it otherwise would.
• Zinc is the one that covers all three. Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal hair, normal nails and normal skin, and that is why so much of the front of this bottle rests on it.
• Biotin is the hair and skin nutrient. Biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and normal skin, and it is here at 5,000 mcg in every serving.
• Folate and vitamin B12 run the cell division. Both contribute to the process of cell division, which is how every new hair and every new nail is actually built.
• Manganese and vitamin C build the scaffolding. Manganese contributes to the normal formation of connective tissue and vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, so your own skin keeps making what it needs.

How the amounts here compare.

Vitamin B6 sits at 471% of a Daily Value, manganese at 174%, vitamin C at 133%, vitamin D at a full 100%, iron at 81% and zinc at 64%. Those are working amounts rather than token ones, and they are why this bottle can stand in for a multivitamin rather than sitting next to one. A 359 mg botanical blend comes alongside them, led by PABA, horsetail and fo-ti.

This was made for women in the years when periods got heavier rather than lighter, and everything else started moving at the same time.

It is especially for you if:

• Your periods have got heavier over the last few years, and you have felt it.
• You are tired in a way that a good night is not fixing, and your hair started changing in the same year.
• You are already paying for a beauty supplement and a multivitamin and would rather pay for one thing.
• Your nails split before they ever get past your fingertips.
• You want your bones and your muscles looked after by the same bottle that looks after your hair.

Sixteen vitamins and minerals plus a 359 mg botanical blend, 60 capsules to a bottle and two a day with food. Gluten free and lactose free. Contains soy. Made in the USA.

If three of those sounded like you, this is the hair, skin and nails formula you have been looking for.

It is not for you if you are through the menopause and no longer bleeding, unless a blood test has told you your iron is low. It is also not for you if you are pregnant or trying to conceive, if you are on hormone therapy or have a hormone-sensitive condition, or if you are under 18, until you have spoken to your doctor.
