Hair Complex Guide
Keratin + Sea Buckthorn + Silica
Each strand of human hair is like a thin cable of tiny fibrous proteins. Beneath the skin, each strand of hair grows through a hair follicle, which is a tunnel-like opening in the skin. Maintaining and nurturing the health of your hair along every part of its structure is critical for healthy luscious locks. We know that alongside gut health your hair health is always a major concern. Silver Fern Brand has combined solubilized keratin (Keragen-IV™), sea buckthorne, and silica for an incredible all-new approach to revitalizing your hair health.* Enhance your hairs shine, thickness and overall health with Silver Fern’s Hair Complex!*
Hair Complex
Keratin + Sea Buckthorn + Silica
Hair Complex is a unique blend of New Zealand solubilized keratin, Tibetan sea buckthorn powder, and silica-rich bamboo extract.
Solubilized Keratin: Helps fortify the hair follicle and supports collagen IV production
Sea Buckthorn: Reduces inflammation in the hair follicle and enhances hair thickness, fullness, and softness
Bamboo Extract: Strengthens hair and enhances hair shine
Solubilized Keratin (Keragen-IV™)
The hero ingredient of Hair Complex is Keragen-IV™, a next-generation keratin powder that can help with the production of collagen IV in order to strengthen hair follicles and nails.* There are 28 known types of collagen in the body with varying functions. Collagen IV is a binding protein that anchors a hair follicle deep into the skin or scalp and is necessary for strong, healthy hair.*
Keratin is a key structural protein that provides support and a protective barrier for skin, hair, and nails. Inadequate keratin can lead to wrinkled skin, dull and thinning hair, and/or brittle fingernails. Keragen-IV™ is an incredible source of Keratin sourced from sheep’s wool in New Zealand, where the sheep receive an annual haircut in order to stay cool throughout the summer.*
Keratin in its natural state is insoluble, meaning it is very difficult to digest. while Hydrolyzed keratin is keratin that has been chopped up into smaller pieces to make it easier to digest, but it still cannot be digested fully. Keragen-IV™ is a very unique keratin powder that has been completely solubilized so that all of the keratin is easily digestible and usable by the human body.*
Keragen-IV™ has been shown to:
- Help increase expression of collagen IV in the hair follicle and skin*
- Help strengthen hair follicles*
- Support healthy nail growth*
- Help with free radical-induced damage*
- Help upregulate glutathione synthesis*
- Support taurine synthesis*
Sea Buckthorn Berry (SeaBerry® Omega Powder)
Sea buckthorn, or Hippophae rhamnoides L., is an ancient medicinal plant known as “holy fruit” in Tibet. In Eastern medicine, it was recommended for coughs, digestive problems, skin issues, wounds, and burns.* More recently, scientists have discovered that it contains omega -3,- 6, -7, and -9 fatty acids, as well as vitamins and antioxidant compounds.
The genus “hippophae” originates from the Greek words “hippo” (meaning horse) and “phaos” (meaning to shine) due to the fact that ancient Greeks used sea buckthorn in horse feed to keep their coats shiny and smooth.*
The sea buckthorn used in Hair Complex is a branded ingredient called SeaBerry® sourced from Tibet. SeaBerry® Omega Powder is a combination of sea buckthorn seed oil and berry puree in a super concentrated form complete with all the essential fatty acids, vitamins, flavonoids, and tocopherols.* It also contains omegas -3, -6, -7, and -9 which contribute to digestive, skin, and overall health.* Omega-3 fatty acids can also prevent brittleness and hair loss. Additionally, the high vitamin C content in SeaBerry® Omega Powder can also help reduce oxidative stress and preserve healthy and radiant hair, skin, and nails.*
The omegas found in SeaBerry® Omega Powder are suggested to prevent hair loss and promote hair growth by:
- Helping supply essential nutrients to hair follicles*
- Helping with hair follicle inflammation*
- Helping promote circulation in the scalp*
- Helping enhance hair follicle proliferation*
Apart from hair benefits, sea buckthorn oil can also help with skin hydration and glow as well as helping activate the anti-aging gene, SIRT 1, making it the perfect ingredient for beauty from within and healthy aging.*
Bamboo Extract
Bamboo extract (Bambusa vulgaris) contains amino acids and antioxidants that can help soothe the scalp, smooth out hair, and promote the growth of thicker hair.* Bamboo extract contains up to 70% organic silica, an essential trace mineral found in skin, bones, and hair that provides elasticity and luster.*
Horsetail is a common form of silica found in many hair growth products, but it only contains up to 25% silica. The Bamboo extract in Hair Complex naturally contains up to 70% silica - making it more potent than horsetail for the purpose of helping enhance hair growth.
Silica has also been shown to help influence collagen biosynthesis due to its remineralizing and regenerative properties.
Silica can:
- Help strengthen individual hair strands*
- Help increase hair volume*
- Support clearing damaged skin cells from the scalp*
- Support enhanced hair shine*
- Help with fingernail composition*
