A very basic and low-dose keratin supplement, offering minimal support for hair, skin, and nails due to its limited ingredient profile and low potency, despite its affordability.
Swanson's Keratin 50 mg is a minimalistic supplement singularly focused on providing keratin for hair, skin, and nail health. At just 50mg per serving, it offers a very low dose of keratin, which is significantly less than the amounts found in clinically supported or patented forms used in higher-quality supplements. Despite its exceptionally low price, the product's limited ingredient profile, lacking biotin, collagen, or other vital nutrients, severely curtails its potential effectiveness in delivering noticeable improvements across its stated beauty goals, making it a less impactful option for consumers seeking comprehensive support.
- Extremely low price per serving, making it highly affordable.
- Simple formulation for those seeking only keratin.
- Very low dose of keratin (50mg) compared to effective amounts in other supplements.
- Lacks other critical ingredients like biotin, collagen, and hyaluronic acid for comprehensive HSN support.
- The specific form of keratin (Tibetan Wool) is not explicitly stated as solubilized or hydrolyzed for optimal absorption.
- Users seeking significant improvements in hair, skin, or nails may find the low dosage and limited ingredient profile insufficient for desired results.

Categories
Keratin 20.0
The product contains a very low 50mg dose of keratin, which is considerably less than the clinically studied doses (e.g., 500mg of Cynatine HNS) found in many alternative supplements. Its effectiveness as a dedicated keratin supplement is therefore severely limited.
Goals
Hair Health 30.0
While keratin is essential for hair structure, the very low 50mg dose is unlikely to provide substantial benefits for hair health compared to products offering significantly higher amounts or more bioavailable forms.
Nail Health 30.0
The minimal keratin dosage offers limited support for nail strength and growth, falling far short of the benefits typically seen from products with higher keratin concentrations or biotin.
Skin Health 25.0
A very low dose of keratin as the sole active ingredient provides negligible support for skin health, especially when compared to formulas containing collagen, hyaluronic acid, or antioxidants which directly target skin elasticity and hydration.
