In the open-label study, phototricogram analysis tracked hair parameters:

• Telogen hair density reduced by 9.5% at day 84. Telogen hair is counterproductive to desired growth.

• Pull test results showed a 51% reduction in hair loss after 84 days.

Self-assessments indicated over 90% felt hair was stronger and less prone to shedding, with visible improvements in thickness and vigor. Please note though that quantitative measurements are more important than self-assessment.

Real women, real changes - here's what the data shows from rigorous trials using Nutrakos' unique amino acid blend:

• Skin Hydration Boost: In an open-label study, superficial skin moisturisation increased by 9.2% and deep hydration by 7.6% after 12 weeks.

• Smoother, Firmer Skin: The same study reported wrinkle depth reduced by 14.5% and skin smoothness improved by 7.7% after 12 weeks, with skin thickness up by 0.24 mm for added density.

• Enhanced Elasticity: Elasticity parameters improved by up to 19.3% (RO) and 11.9% (R2) after 12 weeks, contributing to that bouncy, youthful feel.

• Hair Strengthened: Telogen hair density (unwanted hair type in this context) dropped by 9.5% after 12 weeks in women with shedding concerns, with a 51% reduction in hair loss during pull tests.

• Nails Fortified: Clinical analysis showed improvements in nail strength, hydration, smoothness, and surface uniformity in most participants after 12 weeks.

• Quick Wins on Skin: A pilot study found epidermal hydration up 8% and elasticity up 25.1% after just 4 weeks of use.

These outcomes were observed in trials where participants took the supplement as directed, with no adverse events reported - tolerability rated excellent by all.

Tired of generic essential amino acid (EAA) powders, branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), or protein shakes that promise "overall support" but deliver vague results? Those are great for general nutrition - like hitting daily protein goals - but they scatter broad benefits without precision. Nutrakos is different: it's a patented blend of exactly six amino acids (6AA) in a scientifically optimised ratio, designed specifically to support the building blocks of skin's extracellular matrix, like multiple collagen types and elastin.

This isn't random - it's engineered. In an in vitro study on human skin fibroblasts, this exact 6AA mix (glycine, L-alanine, L-proline, L-valine, L-leucine, L-lysine) upregulated elastin gene expression by 124% compared to controls, while boosting collagen 1 and 4 expression - effects not seen with hydrolysed collagen or peptides alone. What about generic EAAs or BCAAs? They might provide building blocks, but without this targeted ratio, they don't trigger the same focused response for skin firmness or elasticity.

Plus, at just 75 Daltons (a measurement of molecular weight), Nutrakos' low-molecular weight formula absorbs directly into your bloodstream without digestion - unlike collagen peptides that break down and lose potency. It reaches the dermis (a layer in the skin) and stays up to 14 days, fuelling real renewal where it counts.

Your skin, hair, and nails crave the right fuel to fight daily stressors like sun, pollution, and time. Nutrakos delivers free amino acids straight to fibroblasts which are the "factory cells" in your dermis that assemble collagen and elastin fibres. These proteins form the scaffold keeping skin supple, hair anchored, and nails tough.

• For Skin: Supports hydration in both surface and deeper layers, while enhancing tonicity for that smooth, resilient bounce.

• For Hair: Helps reduce shedding by promoting healthier follicle cycles, leading to denser, more vibrant strands.

• For Nails: Aids in creating stronger plates that resist splitting and flaking, for a manicure-ready finish.

Backed by over 25 years of R&D, this isn't hype - it's a daily drinkable shot that fits seamlessly into your routine.

Multiple studies have evaluated Nutrakos' impact on skin parameters using non-invasive instruments.

Pilot Study on Moisturizing and Elasticizing Activity (Published in PRIME Journal, January/February 2020): This open pilot trial assessed hydration and plastoelasticity on photo-exposed (dorsal forearm) and non-exposed (volar forearm) areas over 1 month, with measurements at baseline, 2 weeks, and 1 month. Superficial hydration on the volar surface increased by 8% after 30 days, while deep hydration rose by 6.5%. Superficial plastoelasticity improved by 25.1%, and deep by 19.2% on the volar surface. On the dorsal surface, plastoelasticity showed a 19.2% improvement after 30 days. Statistically significant changes in hydration and plastoelasticity were noted as early as 2 weeks, outperforming some hydrolysed collagen products that require at least 4 weeks for similar observations.

Open-Label Study on Skin, Hair, and Nails (Published in Current Research in Nutrition and Food Science, Vol. 12, No. 1, 2024): Over 84 days, with assessments at baseline, day 28, and day 84, superficial moisturization improved by 6.0% at day 28 and 9.2% at day 84. Deep moisturization increased by 4.2% at day 28 and 7.6% at day 84. Elasticity metrics showed R0 (distensibility) reduced by 11.5% at day 28 and 19.3% at day 84, while R2 (overall elasticity) rose by 7.8% at day 28 and 11.9% at day 84 - indicating enhanced tonicity and density.

These results align with volunteer self-assessments, where over 90% noted improved hydration and firmness, and dermatologist evaluations confirming visible enhancements. Please note though that quantitative measurements are more important than self-assessment.

The same open-label study measured profilometry and ultrasound for anti-aging indicators:

Wrinkle depth decreased by 9.5% at day 28 and 14.5% at day 84 in the periocular area.

Skin smoothness (Sa parameter, inversely related) improved by 4.9% at day 28 and 7.7% at day 84.

Skin thickness (epidermis + dermis) increased by 0.11 mm at day 28 and 0.24 mm at day 84.

Dermatologist scoring noted reductions in wrinkledness in most cases, with self-perceptions of smoother, more radiant skin reported by over 85%. Please note though that quantitative measurements are more important than self-assessment.

Clinical analysis in the open-label study evaluated nail plate status:

Improvements in hardness, hydration, smoothness, and surface uniformity were observed in most participants after 84 days, ranging from mild to moderate enhancements.

Over 70% of self-responses noted stronger, less brittle nails with a smoother surface. Please note though that quantitative measurements are more important than self-assessment.

Generic essential amino acid (EAA) powders, branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), or protein powders provide broad nutritional support but lack the precision for targeted outcomes. Research shows that specific combinations and ratios of amino acids can achieve unique effects on protein synthesis and extracellular matrix components that generic options cannot.

For instance, in one review (PMID: 23107525), "meals with specific dietary proteins and specific combinations of dietary essential amino acids are able to stimulate anabolism," with additional leucine enhancing muscle protein synthesis - effects not replicated by balanced mixtures alone. Another study (PMID: 27570078) found that "limiting the dietary intake of certain essential amino acids" like methionine or tryptophan elicits beneficial effects, distinct from general protein restriction. Similarly, targeted supplementation with cognate amino acids (PMID: 34194004) improved specific parameters, illustrating "the power of amino acid supplementation" tailored to needs rather than broad intake. Restriction of particular amino acids like tyrosine and phenylalanine (PMID: 17513432) modulates signalling pathways uniquely, providing "a connection between the metabolic alterations and signalling pathways" not seen with non-specific approaches.

Nutrakos' 6AA ratio exemplifies this: it maximizes support for collagen and elastin production simultaneously, as evidenced by gene upregulation studies, setting it apart from hydrolysed collagen or generic EAAs that may downregulate or fail to activate these pathways.
