Efficacy and Safety of L-Cystine Associated or not to a Natural Keratin (Kera-Diet�®) Hydrolysate on Hair and Nails: Randomised, PlaceboControlled, Clinical Trial on Healthy Females

Abstract

Vincenzo Nobile

The acute Telogen Effluvium (aTE) and the Brittle Nail Syndrome (BNS) are two medical conditions affecting both males and females. A dietary approach based on aminoacids and/or on protein hydrolysate could be a safe and effective approach in reducing hair loss during acute telogen effluvium and in improving brittle nails conditions.
