Selenium and Zinc are essential nutrients for beautiful, healthy hair. Lynside® Forte Se+ and Lynside® Forte Zn offer synergistic benefits for hair growth, structure, and protection against damage.
In a context where consumers are increasingly interested in the “Beauty-from-Within” approach, nutritional ingredients play a key role in nourishing the skin, nails, and hair. Among these essential nutrients, Selenium and Zinc stand out for their numerous benefits for hair health.
Selenium is an essential mineral for the proper functioning of the body. It is an integral part of the skin’s antioxidant network, acting as a cofactor for key enzymes like glutathione peroxidase. This helps protect the skin, and by extension the hair, against oxidative damage caused by environmental factors such as UV rays, pollution, or stress.
Furthermore, Selenium can play an anti-aging role by promoting the activity of telomerase and lengthening telomeres, which are involved in cellular aging. This beneficial effect on skin aging also positively impacts the health and appearance of the hair.
Certain selenoproteins play a key role in the development and morphogenesis of hair follicles. Their absence can lead to changes in hair structure.
Another trace element is key for nutricosmetics: Zinc. Like Selenium, Zinc is a powerful ally for hair beauty and an essential trace element for hair health. Studies have shown that Zinc deficiencies can be linked to hair loss and alterations in hair structure.
Zinc contributes to the proliferation and differentiation of keratinocytes, the cells responsible for the production of keratin, the main protein in hair. This promotes healthy hair growth and good hair quality.
The combination of Selenium and Zinc plays a key role in hair health. Beyond their antioxidant properties and skin benefits, they are essential for hair health. Studies have shown that deficiencies in these minerals can be linked to hair loss and alterations in hair structure.
In the nutricosmetics field, nutritional yeasts offer excellent sources of Selenium and Zinc. Lynside® Forte Se+ and Lynside® Forte Zn are a winning synergy for radiant hair. These two products combine the benefits of Selenium and Zinc, providing consumers with a complete solution to care for their hair and make it shine from within. This synergy helps promote healthy hair growth, strengthen hair structure, and address issues like hair loss and imperfections.
