Hair, Skin & Nails: A Guide to Nutritional Support & Natural Haircare
Healthy hair, glowing skin, and strong nails are often a reflection of what’s happening inside the body. While genetics play a role, nutritional status, stress, hormonal balance, and the products we use all have a significant impact. Here’s a guide to the key supplements and natural haircare products in our Hair, Skin & Nails collection.
Biotin (Vitamin B7)
Biotin is perhaps the most well-known supplement for hair and nails. It contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and normal skin — an authorised UK health claim. Biotin deficiency, though relatively rare, can cause hair thinning and brittle nails.
- Solgar Biotin 300µg — everyday maintenance dose, suitable for long-term use
- Solgar Biotin 1000µg — mid-range strength for those with higher requirements
- Solgar Biotin 5000µg — targeted high-strength support for hair thinning and nail brittleness
Selenium
Selenium contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and normal nails, as well as normal thyroid function — all authorised health claims. The thyroid plays a central role in hair growth, and selenium deficiency is associated with hair loss in some individuals.
- Solgar Selenium (Yeast-Free) 100µg — everyday maintenance in a highly bioavailable yeast-free form
- Solgar Selenium (Yeast-Free) 200µg — higher strength for those with increased needs or confirmed deficiency
Collagen & Beauty Blends
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and a key structural component of skin, hair, and nails. Collagen production naturally declines with age, which is associated with reduced skin elasticity and hair thinning.
- Planet Paleo Primal Goddess Powder — a premium beauty collagen blend combining grass-fed collagen peptides with Vitamin C (which contributes to normal collagen formation), Vitamin E, zinc, and botanical extracts. Designed specifically for women’s skin, hair, and nail health
- Planet Paleo Marine Beauty Collagen — marine-sourced collagen peptides for skin elasticity and hydration support
New Nordic Hair Volume
- New Nordic Hair Volume — a Scandinavian-formulated supplement combining apple extract (Procyanidin B2), biotin, and zinc to support hair thickness and volume. One of the most popular hair supplements in the UK, backed by clinical research
Natural Haircare
What you put on your hair matters as much as what you put in your body. Our haircare range features brands committed to natural, effective formulations without harsh sulphates or synthetic fragrances.
- MooGoo — an Australian natural skincare and haircare brand using food-grade ingredients. Their range includes an anti-dandruff shampoo and conditioner, cream conditioner, anti-ageing antioxidant cream, and a frizz-fighting hair mist
A Note on Hair Loss
Significant or sudden hair loss can have many causes including iron deficiency, thyroid dysfunction, hormonal changes, stress, and autoimmune conditions. If you are experiencing noticeable hair loss, please consult your GP before self-supplementing, as a blood test can identify specific deficiencies and guide targeted treatment.
