Shiny hair thanks to the right nutrients – what your hair really needs

Your hair reveals more about your health than you might think. If you notice brittle strands or increased hair loss in the morning, it's often not due to expensive shampoos – rather, it indicates a lack of essential nutrients. Our hair, being the fastest-growing cells in the world, is often the first to signal deficiencies. This means that taking a closer look at your diet is worthwhile if you want strong, shiny hair in the long run.

Basics: Which nutrients are essential for hair?

Healthy hair begins with an optimal supply of nutrients to the hair follicles. The hair structure consists of approximately 95% keratin, a protein that must be continuously replenished. For this complex process, your body requires a precise interplay of various nutrients:

Vitamins as hair builders

Biotin (vitamin B7) is the star among hair vitamins. It activates enzymes essential for keratin production, thus ensuring a strong hair structure. A deficiency often manifests as brittle, thin hair. Tru Cosmetics' Hair Boost Caps contain an optimized dose of 5000 µg of biotin per daily serving.

Niacin (vitamin B3) improves microcirculation in the scalp. This increased blood flow transports more oxygen and nutrients to the hair follicles – the basic requirement for healthy hair growth.

Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) is often referred to as a moisture magnet. It helps the scalp retain moisture and promotes hair elasticity, thereby reducing breakage.

The antioxidants vitamins A, C, and E protect hair follicles from oxidative stress caused by free radicals. Vitamin E, in particular, improves blood circulation in the scalp, thus supporting the supply of nutrients to the hair roots.

Minerals for structural integrity

Zinc plays a key role in regulating sebum production and is involved in protein synthesis. A zinc deficiency can lead to hair loss, as hair follicles cannot function properly without this mineral.

Iron is essential for oxygen transport in the blood. In cases of iron deficiency, non-vital functions such as hair growth are affected first, which can lead to diffuse hair loss.

Copper, selenium, and iodine are other important trace elements that support hair health. Copper, for example, is involved in melanin production, which is responsible for hair color.

Proteins and amino acids as building blocks

L-methionine and L-cysteine ​​are sulfur-containing amino acids that serve as building blocks for keratin. They give hair strength and structure. Tru Cosmetics' Hair Boost Caps contain both amino acids in a bioavailable form.

Hydrolyzed plant proteins penetrate deep into the hair structure and improve moisture retention. They fill in damaged areas of the hair and provide more suppleness and shine.

Plant extracts and antioxidants for optimal conditions

Ginseng extract stimulates blood circulation in the scalp and activates the hair follicles. Studies show that ginseng can accelerate hair growth by prolonging the growth phase (anagen phase) of the hair.

Horsetail and green tea are rich in antioxidants that protect hair roots from harmful environmental influences. Horsetail also contains silica, which strengthens the hair structure.

Red clover and nettle have anti-inflammatory properties and create a healthy environment for the hair follicles. Nettle is particularly rich in minerals and can regulate sebum production.

Nutrition & Vitamins – The Key to Full, Healthy Hair

A balanced diet forms the foundation for strong, healthy hair. The formation of new hair cells requires a continuous supply of nutrients, which must be transported to the hair follicles via the bloodstream.

Optimal food sources for healthy hair

Protein-rich foods such as eggs, legumes, and lean meat provide the amino acids essential for keratin formation. Complete proteins, which contain all essential amino acids, are particularly valuable.

Omega-3 fatty acids from salmon, walnuts and flaxseed support the production of hair follicle oils, which moisturize the hair from the inside out and protect it from drying out.

Iron-rich foods like spinach, lentils, and whole grains promote oxygen transport to the hair roots. Combine them with vitamin C-rich foods like citrus fruits to improve iron absorption.

Zinc-rich foods such as pumpkin seeds, oysters, and beef support protein synthesis and scalp regeneration. A zinc deficiency can lead to brittle hair and increased hair loss.

Hydration and hair health

Adequate hydration (at least 2 liters daily) is crucial for healthy hair. Water transports nutrients to the hair follicles and keeps the scalp hydrated. Dehydration can lead to dry, brittle hair.

Practical nutrition tips for everyday life

Incorporate B-vitamin-rich foods like avocados, whole grains, and nuts into your daily diet. These vitamins are key players in the energy metabolism of hair follicles.

Prepare a "hair boost smoothie": Combine spinach (iron), berries (antioxidants), banana (biotin) and almond milk (protein) for a nutrient-rich meal that supports your hair health.

Supplements & Products – Targeted support for your hair health

Despite a balanced diet, it can be difficult to obtain all the necessary nutrients in optimal amounts. Stress, intense physical activity, and certain life phases further increase nutritional needs. This is where high-quality dietary supplements and care products come into play.

Innovative solutions from Tru Cosmetics

Tru Cosmetics' Hair Boost Caps are specially formulated to support hair health from within. They combine:

• 5000 µg biotin for keratin production

• L-methionine and L-cysteine ​​as direct building blocks for hair structure

• MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) to improve collagen formation

• Zinc and selenium for healthy hair follicles

• Vitamins B5, B6 and B12 for the energy metabolism of the hair follicles

The Hair Growth Serum complements internal nourishment by directly supplying nutrients to the scalp:

• Caffeine stimulates the hair follicles and prolongs the growth phase.

• Ginseng and red clover improve microcirculation.

• Tetrapeptides strengthen hair roots and reduce hair loss.

• Hyaluronic acid provides moisture and improves scalp health.

Both products are vegan, hormone-free, and manufactured in Germany under the strictest quality controls. They contain no artificial additives or fillers and are suitable for all hair types.

The Tru Cosmetics Difference

Unlike many competing products, Tru Cosmetics consciously avoids hormonal ingredients, which can be problematic in the long term. Instead, the brand relies on the power of natural ingredients in scientifically proven concentrations.

The combination of internal and external application offers a holistic approach to hair health. While the Hair Boost Caps deliver the necessary nutrients, the serum ensures their optimal distribution and absorption on the scalp.

Practical tips for everyday life – Optimal hair care made easy

Besides the right supply of nutrients, hair care habits also play a crucial role in healthy, strong hair.

Gentle cleansing for healthy hair structure

Use silicone-free shampoos that don't weigh down the natural hair structure. Silicones can build up on the hair over time, making it appear dull and lifeless.

Wash your hair with lukewarm water instead of hot water to preserve the scalp's natural protective barrier. Hot water can overstimulate the sebaceous glands and lead to an oily scalp.

Reduce your washing frequency to 2-3 times per week to preserve the scalp's natural oils. These oils protect the hair from drying out and environmental damage.

Targeted nutrient supply in everyday life

Integrate the Hair Boost Caps into your daily routine – ideally in the morning with a meal to optimize nutrient absorption. The capsules are small and easy to swallow.

Massage the Hair Growth Serum into your scalp daily. The massage itself promotes blood circulation, while the active ingredients can then work directly on the hair follicles.

Supplement your diet with biotin- and zinc-rich foods such as nuts, eggs, and legumes. These natural sources support the effects of dietary supplements.

Protection from harmful influences

Reduce heat styling to a minimum and always use heat protectant products when using a hairdryer, straightener, or curling iron. Heat can damage the protein structure of the hair and lead to breakage.

Protect your hair from UV radiation with hats or special UV protection products. Sun exposure can dry out hair and bleach the color pigments.

Use a silk pillowcase at night to minimize friction. Cotton can draw moisture out of the hair and lead to breakage.

Stress management for healthy hair growth

Practice relaxation techniques like meditation or yoga regularly. Chronic stress increases cortisol levels, which can lead to hair loss.

Ensure you get enough sleep (7-9 hours per night), as important repair processes take place in the body during deep sleep phases – including in the hair follicles.

Conclusion: Which nutrients your hair really needs

Strong, shiny hair is the result of an optimal supply of the right nutrients. The most important hair boosters are biotin, zinc, iron, vitamin E, and the amino acids L-cysteine ​​and L-methionine, supplemented by antioxidant plant extracts such as ginseng and nettle.

While many manufacturers focus on short-term results through hormone-containing products, Tru Cosmetics offers a sustainable, health-promoting approach. The combination of Hair Boost Caps for internal nutrient supply and the Hair Growth Serum for external application creates optimal conditions for healthy hair growth.
