Clinical Dose | 500mg |
Source | Hydrolysed keratin derived from the finest New Zealand wool |
Organic Limits | Keratin is not naturally soluble or digestible in its typical form. Keratin treatments and topicals are expensive and ineffective remedies for weak and damaged hair because they fail to solve the "root" problem - nutrient deficiencies from the stress of age or diet. |
Cost | 5x generic keratin |
Benefits | Hair, skin and nails |
Technology | Cynatine® HNS Is based on a breakthrough technology to produce highly soluble keratin powder made from New Zealand sheep's wool through a unique and patented process which preserves the originality of the amino acids profile. This process allows for a unique blend of oligopeptides optimised in size and structure for absorption. Once it is orally consumed and assimilated by the body, it can contribute significantly to improve the vitality of hair, skin and nails |
Region | New Zealand |
Data | 8 peer-reviewed Cynatine® HNS trials |
A lot of keratin treatments are topical, which means that the keratin is applied to the body. However, keratin is not naturally soluble or digestible in its typical form, meaning it won’t do the good things it is meant to do. The cause of keratin deficiency is often dietary or stress-related, meaning something that works from the inside out is much more effective.
Different types of food support keratin production in the body. The most common ones are eggs, salmon and beef liver but keratin-boosting nutrients can also be found in onions, kale, carrots, sweet potato, garlic, mango and sunflower seeds.
The majority of keratin supplements are sourced from waste animal and marine products, most of which are not biocompatible with the human synthesis of keratin and therefore are of little to no use in the body. The exception to this is Cynatine® HNS, the world’s first solubilised, active keratin matching the exact aminogram of human keratin. Cynatine® HNS is made of lanolin and comes from sheep's wool.
Keratin and biotin are commonly confused as both are used to increase the strength of hair, skin and nails. However, the difference between keratin and biotin is that biotin is a water-soluble B Vitamin and keratin is a fibrous structural protein. Biotin can enhance the cell growth of amino acids, the building blocks of protein, whereas keratin is the protein itself. Biotin supplements feed the body nutrients to create enzymes and indirectly boost the production of amino acids, the building blocks of keratin, but taking Cynatine® HNS is a far more direct route. In the debate of keratin vs biotin vs collagen, it is far more efficacious to take biotin and Cynatine® HNS than any collagen supplement. Collagen is also a structural protein in the skin but collagen supplements are widely disproved with scant evidence to suggest any existing nutraceutical has the delivery method to allow it to be absorbed by the body.
Cynatine® HNS has been extensively studied and investigated in peer-reviewed studies and no prevailing side-effects have been identified. The World Health Organisation has also found Cynatine® HNS to be completely safe.
