NUTRILINQ Essentials: Synergistic Nutrient Support for Hair, Skin, and Nail Health in GLP-1 Users

Nabeeha Ahmed

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, such as Ozempic and Wegovy, are commonly prescribed for managing type 2 diabetes and aiding in weight loss. However, their appetite-suppressing effects can lead to reduced nutrient intake, potentially impacting the health of hair, skin, and nails. Nutrilinq's Essentials multinutrient capsules are formulated to address these concerns, combining the proprietary KeraGEN-IV® with a synergistic blend of vitamins and minerals to support overall wellness.

KeraGEN-IV®: A Scientifically Validated Keratin Supplement
At the heart of Essentials is KeraGEN-IV®, a solubilized keratin derived from sustainably sourced New Zealand sheep's wool. Unlike traditional keratin supplements, KeraGEN-IV® is designed for optimal bioavailability, ensuring effective absorption and utilization by the body. Clinical studies have demonstrated that KeraGEN-IV® significantly improves hair strength, reduces hair loss, and enhances skin elasticity.

Key Benefits of KeraGEN-IV®:

  • Reduction in Hair Loss: A 60-day clinical trial revealed a 43.1% decrease in hair loss among participants supplementing with KeraGEN-IV®.
  • Enhanced Hair Integrity: Participants experienced a 17.6% improvement in hair cortex integrity, indicating stronger and healthier hair.
  • Improved Skin Health: The same study reported a 10.1% increase in skin elasticity and a 12.5% reduction in trans-epidermal water loss, underscoring KeraGEN-IV®'s role in bolstering skin barrier function.

Synergistic Role of Supporting Vitamins and Minerals
Essentials combines KeraGEN-IV® with a blend of vitamins and minerals that work synergistically to promote hair, skin, and nail health while supporting a healthy immune system:

  • Biotin (Vitamin B7): Essential for keratin production, biotin supports the structural integrity of hair and nails. Deficiency in biotin can lead to hair thinning and brittle nails. Supplementation has been shown to improve hair growth and nail strength.
  • Vitamin C: A potent antioxidant, vitamin C is crucial for collagen synthesis, which maintains skin elasticity and firmness. It also aids in the absorption of iron, a mineral vital for hair health.
  • Zinc: This mineral plays a significant role in DNA and protein synthesis, essential for hair follicle health and skin repair. Zinc deficiency has been linked to hair loss and skin lesions.
  • Vitamin D: Beyond its role in bone health, vitamin D contributes to skin cell growth and repair. Adequate levels are associated with improved skin barrier function and may influence hair follicle cycling.
  • Magnesium: Involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions, magnesium supports protein synthesis and cellular energy production, which are vital for maintaining healthy skin and hair.
Tailored Support for GLP-1 Users
GLP-1 receptor agonists enhance insulin secretion and promote satiety, often resulting in decreased food consumption. This reduction can lead to deficiencies in essential nutrients critical for maintaining the integrity of hair, skin, and nails. Rapid weight loss associated with these medications has been linked to hair thinning and skin laxity. By providing a comprehensive blend of bioavailable keratin, vitamins, and minerals, Essentials helps replenish these nutrients, supporting overall health and mitigating potential side effects of GLP-1 therapy.
