Biotin may play a role in supporting nail health. Researchers conducted a study of 22 volunteers and found that 2.5 mg biotin daily for 6-15 months improved cases of brittle nails, increased nail thickness and lamellar splitting.

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) concluded that a cause and effect relationship has been established between the consumption of biotin and maintenance of normal hair.

Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) is a thorny bush native to European and Asian countries such as India, Pakistan, China, Russia and Nepal. The latin name, Hippophae, is derived from the Greek words, “hippo” which means horse and “pharos” which means shine. Sea Buckthon was traditionally used in ancient Greece as horse feed because it made their coats shine.

The fruit/berries of Sea Buckthorn naturally contain a powerhouse of nutrients such as proteins, essential amino acids, fatty acids (oleic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid), phytosterols (beta-sitosterol, ergosterol, amyrins), vitamins and minerals. One of main antioxidant vitamins found in sea buckthorn berries is Vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Flavonoids are also a major component of sea buckthorn berries, with the main components being leucocyanidin, catechin, flavonols (isorhamnetin, quassin, camellin) and trace flavanone. The flavonoid, isorhamnetin, is found in the largest amount. Additionally, organic acids such as malic acid and quinic acid can be found in the fruit of sea buckthorn.
