    Evidence

    Biotin (Vitamin B7):

    1. Daily supplementation improves hair thickness and nail strength in individuals with brittle nails and hair thinning (Trüeb, 2016).

    2.Especially effective in young women with hair breakage and nail brittleness (Patel et al., 2017).


    Plant-Based (Veg) Collagen Builders (using Amino Acids + Collagen-Boosting Extracts like Glycine, Proline, Vit C):

    1. Plant-based collagen boosters have shown improvement in skin elasticity, hydration, and wrinkle depth in adults after 8–12 weeks of supplementation (Ma et al., 2021).


    Multivitamins (A, C, E, Zinc, Selenium):

    1. Clinical studies confirm that micronutrients such as Vitamin C, E, and Zinc protect skin against oxidative stress and promote collagen synthesis, improving skin texture and reducing aging signs (Cosgrove et al., 2007).

    2. Combination formulas (multivitamins + collagen boosters) improve hair density, nail thickness, and skin hydration in healthy young adults (Juhasz et al., 2018).


    Resveratrol:

    1. Showed improved skin elasticity, hydration, and reduced wrinkle depth after 60 days. (Chung et al., 2015).

    Melatonin

    1. Helps you sleep better and wake up fresher. Human trials and meta-analyses show melatonin improves overall sleep quality in adults (Fatemeh et al., 2022; Xu et al., 2020).

    2. Safe and non-habit-forming when used as directed. Recent reviews of clinical use describe melatonin as a safe, well-tolerated option for supporting sleep (Tuft et al., 2023; Adattini et al., 2025).


    Tagar / Valerian ext.

    1. Naturally supports better, more restful sleep. Human studies on Tagar/valerian show improvements in sleep quality and sleep complaints (Toolika et al., 2015; Shekhar et al., 2024). 

    2. Fits everyday wellness use. Contemporary overviews of herbal sleep aids report valerian as a supportive option for improving sleep quality (Yeom et al., 2024). 


    L-Tryptophan

    1. Builds your body’s own ‘sleep’ chemistry. Meta-analyses of human studies show L-tryptophan (a natural amino acid) supports better sleep continuity/quality by feeding serotonin–melatonin pathways (Sutanto et al., 2021/2022; Arslan et al., 2024).

    2. Appropriate for health-conscious users. Evidence syntheses focused on diet and sleep highlight tryptophan-rich strategies as helpful for sleep-support goals (Zuraikat et al., 2021).

    Electrolytes/ Sodium (Rehydration):

    Electrolytes/ Sodium in rehydration beverages improves fluid retention and plasma volume recovery post-exercise compared to water—confirmed by sports-nutrition position stands and recent reviews (Sawka et al., 2007; Pérez-Castillo et al., 2023).

     

    Caffeine (≈30 mg Alertness Boost):

    Even low doses of caffeine (~30 mg) enhance reaction time, accuracy, and subjective alertness in healthy adults; a 2025 meta-analysis confirms significant acute benefits, and a recent randomised controlled trial (50 mg) showed improved working memory and EEG markers of alertness (Lim et al., 2022).
