Type l ll & lll Collagen Keratin with Alpha Lipoic Acid & Hyaluronic Acid focuses on hair and nail support. The collagen and keratin are not confirmed to match the specific preparations behind the limited benefit findings.

AI assessment of the formula, label and price. How scoring works

Nutrient Quality27

The named collagen types do not clarify how the collagen has been prepared. Several other preparations are undisclosed, while vitamin and mineral quality remains uncertain.

Ingredient Transparency67

All ingredient amounts are disclosed, and several forms or sources are named. The collagen proportions and the preparations of alpha lipoic acid, hyaluronic acid and keratin are missing.

Value For Money36

The collagen and keratin are relatively costly for the serving supplied. Hyaluronic acid offers more reasonable value, while the vitamin and mineral comparisons remain uncertain.

Customer Satisfaction76

Customer ratings are favorable. The review count provides a moderate base of feedback, without confirming health benefits.

Product Focus63

The formula stays mainly within hair and nail support. Benefits from collagen and keratin depend on specific preparations, while vitamin C and zinc mainly support normal nutrition.

Collagen · 250 mgKeratin · 500 mg

Keratin and collagen are structural proteins, but nail findings depend on the specific preparation. The declared 500 mg of each is not automatically equivalent to the preparations used in the supplied nail research. Vitamin C supports collagen formation, while zinc relates to nail growth when intake is inadequate.

How this product is rated for Nail Health

Ingredient fit65

2 assessed ingredients relate to nails alongside 3 other active ingredients, so the formula has a broader focus. The assessed amounts meet part of the saved dose benchmarks.

The strongest saved connection is to silicon and matrix cross-linking, with limited coverage. Neither of the two target areas reaches the saved threshold for substantial coverage.

Vitamin C provides the strongest saved evidence among the ingredients meeting the amount benchmark. That finding does not establish the effectiveness of the whole formula. Preparation matching is incomplete for Keratin, limiting direct transfer from specific preparations.

Vitamin C supports normal collagen formation, but this does not establish independent hair regrowth. Keratin has limited evidence for improving hair gloss with a particular feather hydrolysate; the solubilized keratin here is not confirmed as that preparation. The collagen is also not matched to the preparation studied for damaged hair, and its amount falls below the saved comparison's inclusion level. Hyaluronic acid's skin-hydration evidence does not establish hair growth or reduced breakage.

How this product is rated for Hair Health

Ingredient fit75

Vitamin C, keratin and hyaluronic acid account for the included ingredient findings. Preparation differences and smaller contributions limit the interpretation.
Goal fit
Vitamin C, keratin and hyaluronic acid provide the main included connections, with one additional active aimed elsewhere.
Dose adequacy
Keratin meets its comparison anchor, while vitamin C and hyaluronic acid make smaller amount contributions.

Pathways40

The strongest recorded connection is antioxidant-related nutrition. Coverage of the other specific hair mechanisms is limited.
Depth
Antioxidant-related coverage is strongest, with a smaller hair-fibre contribution; these findings do not establish hair regrowth.
Breadth
Only antioxidant-related coverage meets the breadth criterion; hair-fibre coverage is smaller, and androgen and stress routes are unrepresented.

Evidence66

The saved evidence finding is led by vitamin C, with keratin preparation uncertainty. Normal nutrient functions and findings from specific preparations do not establish routine regrowth.
Evidence strength
Vitamin C leads the saved evidence finding, although normal collagen biology does not establish an independent hair-regrowth effect.
Studied preparation
Keratin is not matched to the studied preparation; the other included ingredients meet the saved preparation criterion.

Formulation logic100

The included ingredients need no missing partner, and no configured conflict was matched. Meeting amount criteria does not establish additional benefit from the combination.
Partner coverage
The included ingredients have their required partners or can contribute independently; no extra benefit from combining them is established.
Conflicts
No configured ingredient conflict was matched in the saved findings.
Effective doses
The included keratin, vitamin C and hyaluronic acid meet the minimum amount criterion; collagen, copper and zinc remain below it.
