Amino acids in skincare and in supplements

Topically, amino acids behave as humectants and conditioners, holding water and leaving skin feeling supple. Taken by mouth they play a different role entirely. Hair is largely keratin, and keratin is built from amino acids, which is why hair-growth nutraceuticals include them alongside biotin and marine collagen.

That split shows up clearly in this collection. On the supplement side, Nutrafol carries them through Nutrafol Women, Women's Balance, Nutrafol Men and Postpartum. On the topical side, look at SkinBetter Science AlphaRet Overnight Cream and Alastin Skincare Restorative Skin Complex.

Do amino acids help with hair growth?

They supply the raw material. Hair fibre is roughly ninety percent keratin protein, so a diet or supplement short on amino acids gives the follicle less to work with, which is the reasoning behind their inclusion in Nutrafol's formulas. Individual results vary, and supplements are not a substitute for medical advice.
