Nail Science is a food supplement comprising of vitamins, minerals and lysine and includes copper and zinc, minerals which contribute to helping maintain normal nails.
The European Food Safety Authority is the agency that provides independent scientific advice and reviews the scientific evidence relating health claims to vitamins and minerals. These are the claims that this independent agency has approved for ingredients in our Nail Science.
HEALTH BENEFITS
Biotin
Contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism as well as normal functioning of the nervous system. Contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism and to the maintenance of normal hair and skin.
Calcium
Contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism. Also contributes to normal blood clotting, muscle function, neurotransmission and to the function of digestive enzymes. It plays a role in cell division and specialisation and is needed for the maintenance of normal bones and teeth. It helps to reduce the loss of bone mineral in post-menopausal women; low bone density is a risk factor for osteoporotic bone fractures.
Copper
Copper contributes to the maintenance of normal connective tissues and to normal energy-yielding metabolism. It contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system.
Folic Acid
Supplemental folic acid intake increases maternal folate status. Low maternal folate status is a risk factor in the development of neural tube defects in the developing foetus
Iron
Contributes to normal cognitive function and to the normal function of the immune system. It plays a role in the process of cell division. It contributes to the formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin and to normal oxygen transport in the body. Also contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
Pantothenic Acid
Contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism. It contributes to normal mental performance and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. It also contributes to normal synthesis and metabolism of steroid hormones, Vitamin D and some neurotransmitters.
Vitamin A
Maintains normal skin and vision. Also contributes to the normal function of the immune system and plays a role in the process of cell specialization.
Vitamin B12
Contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism as well as normal functioning of the immune and nervous systems. Also contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism and to normal red blood cell formation. It plays a role in the process of cell division and contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
Vitamin B6
Contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, the normal functioning of the immune and nervous systems and to the formation of normal red blood cells. Contributes to normal homocysteine, protein and glycogen metabolism. Also contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Vitamin B6 also contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity.
Vitamin D
Contributes to the normal absorption of calcium and phosphorus and contributes to the maintenance of normal blood calcium levels. Also contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth as well as the maintenance of normal muscle function.
Vitamin E
Protects cells from oxidative stress.
Zinc
Contributes to normal DNA synthesis, normal fertility and reproduction, normal immune system function and normal cognitive function. Contributes to normal acid-base and carbohydrate metabolism. Zinc also contributes to normal macronutrient, fatty acid and vitamin A metabolism. It contributes to normal protein synthesis while it maintains normal bones, hair, nails and skin. It maintains normal testosterone levels in the blood, maintains normal vision. It protects cells from oxidative stress and plays a role in the process of cell division.
