Where Hair Skin & Nails Fits
Despite the name, this is closer to a full multivitamin than a single-ingredient beauty supplement. It covers the B vitamins, antioxidant vitamins A, C and E, and a broad mineral base led by calcium, magnesium and zinc.† Biotin is present, but at a modest 3mcg, so this is not a high-dose biotin product. If you already take a multivitamin, compare the two labels before adding this one, since the overlap is large.
Vitamins A, C and E
Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation, which matters for skin.† Vitamins A and E are fat-soluble antioxidants that support normal skin health.† Taking the tablets with food, as directed, helps with absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins.†
Zinc, Selenium and B Vitamins
Zinc and selenium are trace minerals that support normal hair and nail health.† The B vitamins, including riboflavin, niacin and B6, support normal skin and energy metabolism.† These are the core of what makes this a hair, skin and nails formula rather than a general multi.†
Frequently Asked Questions
-
How much biotin is in it?
The label listing shows 3mcg of biotin per 3-tablet serving, which is 10% of the Daily Value. That is far below the high-dose biotin products on the market. If you want a high-dose biotin, this is not it. Check your bottle's label to confirm the amount.† -
Can I take it with my regular multivitamin?
The formula overlaps heavily with most multivitamins, especially for vitamin A, the B vitamins and calcium. Doubling up can push vitamin A and other nutrients higher than you need. Most people should pick one or the other. Ask a physician or our staff to compare labels.† -
Why is the serving 3 tablets?
Calcium alone takes up a lot of tablet space, at 733mg per serving. Splitting the formula into 3 tablets keeps each one a manageable size. You can take all 3 with one meal. The label caps intake at 6 tablets a day.† -
Is it gluten free and dairy free?
The product is listed as free of gluten, dairy, egg, peanut, fish, soy, shellfish, wheat and yeast. It is made in a facility that processes those allergens. Anyone with a severe allergy should keep that cross-contact risk in mind.†
How to Take Metabolic Nutrition Hair Skin & Nails
Take 3 tablets once daily with food. Do not exceed 6 tablets in a day, and do not combine it with another multivitamin without checking the labels. Not intended for anyone under 18, or for pregnant or nursing women. If you take medication, have a medical condition or are planning a medical procedure, see a physician before use. Tell your doctor you take a multivitamin with biotin before any blood work, since biotin can affect some lab tests.
