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 hair health.^* Enhance your hair's 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: Provides potent antioxidant support and a natural source of omegas!*

Bamboo Extract: Aids in building healthy hair*

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 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 making it easily digestible and usable by the human body.^*!

Keragen-IV™:

• Clinically proven to improve hair health*
• Clinically proven to improve skin health*
• Improves skin elasticity*
• Helps increase expression of collagen IV in the hair follicle and skin^{^*}
• Help with free radical-induced oxidative 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 the essential fatty acids, vitamins, and tocopherols.^* It contains omegas -3, -6, -7, and -9 which contribute to digestive, skin, and overall health.* Additionally, the natural vitamin C content in SeaBerry® Omega Powder can help reduce oxidative stress and support proper collagen formulation.^*

The omegas found in SeaBerry® Omega Powder are suggested to support hair health by:

• Helping supply essential nutrients^*
• Helping protect against free radicals^*
• Helping promote healthy cell-aging^*

Bamboo Extract

Bamboo extract (Bambusa vulgaris) contains ingredients that can help support collagen production and aid in building healthy hair and skin.^* Bamboo extract contains up to 70% organic silica, a trace mineral found in skin, bones, and hair that provides elasticity and strength.^*

Horsetail is a common form of silica found in many hair products, but it only contains around 25% silica. The Bamboo extract in Hair Complex naturally contains up to 70% silica - making it more potent than horsetail for the purpose of hair health.

Silica has also been shown to help influence collagen biosynthesis due to its remineralizing and regenerative properties.^{^*}

Silica can:

• Help strengthen individual hair strands^*
• Supports collagen production^*
• Aids in building healthy hair and skin^*
• Help with fingernail composition^*
