Dietary supplement for improvement of condition of hair, skin and nails

Indications

• This dietary supplement is intended for use as an additional source of collagen, hyaluronic acid, biotin, copper, and zinc to support the structural integrity and health of connective tissues.
• It is specifically formulated to complement the diet for individuals seeking to improve the appearance and health of their skin, hair, and nails. The ingredients are selected for their roles in promoting skin elasticity and hydration, supporting nail strength, and contributing to the maintenance of normal hair.
• The product may be used to help reduce the visible signs of skin aging by providing key building blocks for the dermal matrix. It is suitable for adults who wish to support their overall dermal health and cosmetic appearance from within, particularly when dietary intake of these specific nutrients may be insufficient.

Contraindications

• Individual hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to any of the components of the dietary supplement, including fish collagen, bamboo extract, or any of the auxiliary substances. Patients with known fish or seafood allergies should exercise extreme caution.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding are contraindications for use due to the lack of sufficient clinical data on the safety of the specific ingredient combination and concentrations in these patient populations. The effects on fetal development or nursing infants have not been established.
• The product is contraindicated in individuals with severe renal impairment or hepatic insufficiency, as the clearance and metabolism of the components may be altered, potentially leading to accumulation and adverse effects. Patients with Wilson’s disease, a disorder of copper metabolism, should avoid this supplement due to its copper content.
• It is not recommended for use in children and adolescents under the age of 18 due to the absence of safety and efficacy data in this age group. The nutritional requirements and metabolic pathways in developing individuals differ significantly from those in adults.

Dosage Regimen

The recommended dosage for adults is the contents of one stick (2.9 g) dissolved in 150-200 ml of water or another non-alcoholic beverage, taken once daily. The powder should be stirred thoroughly until completely dissolved to form a homogeneous suspension for oral consumption. For optimal absorption and to minimize potential gastrointestinal discomfort, it is advisable to take the supplement with a meal.

The duration of continuous use should not exceed 2-3 months. If long-term supplementation is desired, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional for evaluation and possible cycling of the regimen. Do not exceed the stated recommended daily dose, as consuming more will not enhance the desired effects and may increase the risk of adverse reactions.

Drug Interactions

While this is a dietary supplement, potential interactions with medications should be considered. The mineral content, specifically zinc and copper, may interfere with the absorption of certain antibiotics, such as tetracyclines and quinolones (e.g., ciprofloxacin). To avoid this interaction, it is recommended to take the supplement at least 2 hours before or 4-6 hours after taking these antibiotics.

Zinc supplementation may reduce the absorption and efficacy of penicillamine, a drug used for Wilson’s disease and rheumatoid arthritis. Concurrent use should be avoided or carefully monitored by a physician. High doses of zinc over prolonged periods can also potentially lead to copper deficiency; however, the copper content in this formulation is designed to mitigate this risk at the recommended dosage.

Patients taking angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or potassium-sparing diuretics should be aware that the L-arginine component can affect potassium levels and should use this supplement with caution under medical supervision. It is imperative to inform your healthcare provider about all dietary supplements and over-the-counter products you are using to ensure safe co-administration with prescription medications.

Adverse Reactions

Adverse reactions are generally mild and transient, primarily involving the gastrointestinal system. Some individuals may experience symptoms such as nausea, a feeling of fullness, abdominal discomfort, bloating, or mild diarrhea, especially at the beginning of the supplementation period. These effects often subside as the body adjusts.

Allergic reactions, though rare, are possible. Given the presence of fish collagen, individuals with a known allergy to fish or seafood may experience hypersensitivity reactions, which can range from mild skin rashes and itching to more severe manifestations such as angioedema or difficulty breathing. Discontinue use immediately and seek medical attention if any signs of an allergic reaction occur.

Long-term consumption of biotin at high doses can interfere with certain laboratory tests, notably some immunoassays for troponin, thyroid function, and hormone levels, potentially leading to falsely low or high results. It is crucial to inform your healthcare provider and the laboratory personnel about biotin supplementation before undergoing any blood tests.

Overdose

Acute overdose with this dietary supplement is unlikely to cause severe toxicity due to the nature of its ingredients. However, significant deviation from the recommended daily dose, particularly over an extended period, may lead to adverse effects associated with the individual components. Symptoms of excessive intake may include pronounced gastrointestinal distress, such as severe nausea, vomiting, and persistent diarrhea.

Chronic overdose of zinc can lead to copper deficiency, manifesting as neurological symptoms and hematological changes such as neutropenia and sideroblastic anemia. While the product contains copper, consistently exceeding the recommended dose could disrupt this balance. In the event of suspected overdose, discontinue use immediately and consult a healthcare professional or contact a poison control center. Treatment is typically supportive and symptomatic, as there is no specific antidote.
