Hair, Skin & Nails Essentials

Hair, Skin & Nails Essentials

Step three of the Foliv routine, and the only one you take, not apply. A daily two-capsule supplement that supports the nutritional inputs your hair, skin, and nails draw on. 60 vegetarian capsules, a 30-day supply.

Why a capsule

The oil and serum work on the scalp from the outside. The capsule works from the inside, supplying the vitamins, minerals, and botanicals that hair, skin, and nails use as raw material. A topical can only do so much if the inputs aren't there; this is the other half of the routine.

What's in it

  • Biotin, 5000 mcg, a B-vitamin that contributes to the normal production of keratin, the protein in hair, skin, and nails.
  • A full vitamin panel (A, C, D, E, B1, B6, folate, B12, pantothenic acid), including Vitamin C, which the body uses in normal collagen formation.
  • Minerals: calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, manganese, and potassium.
  • An 11-botanical blend (359 mg): PABA, horsetail, Fo-Ti, bamboo, stinging nettle, Chinese peony, spirulina, saw palmetto, plant sterols, alfalfa, and barley grass.

Two vegetarian capsules per serving, 30 servings per bottle. Contains soy.

How to use it

For adults only. Take two capsules a day with food. Do not take within one hour of medications, and do not exceed the recommended dose. Pair it with something you already do each morning; consistency matters more than timing.

What to expect, and what not to

Allow ninety days, one full follicle cycle, before you judge the routine. The capsule's job is nutritional support, daily, over time. It is not a fast fix, and not a substitute for a balanced diet.

What this supplement is designed to do: supply nutrients that support normal hair, skin, and nail health. What it is not: a drug, and not a treatment for hair loss or any medical condition. If your thinning is rapid, patchy, or diffuse, see a doctor.

Works best as a routine

The capsule supports the follicle from the inside, the oil primes the scalp, and the serum is the core topical step. If you want the full routine, the 30-Day Hair Recovery Bundle is $52 less than buying the three separately, and ships free.

What is inside

Twenty-three nutrients. One follicle.

A full vitamin and mineral panel plus a ten-botanical blend, dosed at the levels research actually supports. Not a kitchen-sink stack. A follicle-specific one.

  • Active 01

    Biotin (B7), 5000 mcg

    Cofactor for keratin synthesis, the structural protein in hair, skin, and nails. The dose most clinicians cite as effective without being excessive.

    Patel et al., 2017. Biotin in hair and nail growth, systematic review.

  • Active 02

    Zinc

    Modulates 5-alpha reductase, the enzyme implicated in androgenetic thinning. Also supports follicle cycling.

    Park et al., 2009. Serum zinc in alopecia patients.

  • Active 03

    Botanical blend

    PABA, horsetail, Fo-Ti, bamboo extract, saw palmetto, plant sterols, alfalfa, barley grass, spirulina, stinging nettle. A traditional-medicine stack with structure-function support.

    Compiled traditional-medicine and modern in-vitro literature.

  • Active 04

    Vitamin D, 800 IU

    Vitamin D receptors live on the follicle itself. Adequate D status correlates with healthier follicle cycling and thicker output.

    Daroach et al., 2018. Vitamin D status and hair loss correlation.

  • Active 05

    Iron, 14.5 mg

    Carries oxygen to the follicle bed. Low ferritin is one of the most common nutritional deficiencies behind diffuse thinning.

    Trost et al., 2006. Iron deficiency and hair loss.

How to use

Two with breakfast. Every morning.

Internal support shows up slower than topicals. Three months in, you will notice it in your nails first.

  1. 01

    Two with breakfast

    Two capsules, with food, in the morning. Food helps absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E).

  2. 02

    Same time daily

    Consistency matters more than the time of day. Pair the dose with something you already do every morning. Coffee, brushing teeth, opening your laptop.

  3. 03

    Allow 90 days

    Internal support shows up slower than topicals. Three months in, you will notice it in your nails first, then your hair.

Step 03 of 03, Support

The follicle gets fed before it grows.

The serum and oil work on the scalp environment. The capsule works on the inputs the follicle actually consumes when it cycles. Biotin, iron, zinc, botanicals.

Questions

What people ask before they commit.

  • Why two capsules instead of one?
    The dosing requires it. Compressing 5000 mcg of biotin, a full vitamin and mineral panel, and a botanical blend into one capsule means smaller, less effective doses or a capsule too large to swallow. Two is the right size at the right strength.
  • I already take a multivitamin, do I need this?
    Not necessarily. If your multi covers biotin at 2,500 to 5,000 mcg, has zinc and iron, and a follicle-relevant botanical stack, you may already be covered. Most generic multis are not formulated for hair specifically. This one is.
  • Will it interact with my medications?
    Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before adding any supplement. High-dose biotin can interfere with certain lab tests (thyroid panels, troponin). Let your provider know if you are getting blood work done.
  • Will it work without the serum and oil?
    It works on its own as internal support. It works harder as part of the routine. The topicals address the scalp environment while the capsule supplies the building blocks from within.
  • Can women take it?
    Yes. The formula is balanced for both, and the iron, biotin, and folate content are particularly supportive for women experiencing diffuse or stress-related thinning. Pregnant or nursing, talk to your doctor first.
