Nutrition21 will present its Lustriva beauty-from-within ingredient at NYSCC Supplier’s Day event, May 2-3, 2023 at the Jacob Javitz Convention Center in New York City.

In a clinical study, women who received Lustriva experienced thicker hair and a nearly 20% increase in hair growth in as little as three weeks. Participants also experienced improved skin texture and a 10% reduction in the appearance of wrinkles in just 12 weeks, per Nutrition21.
The ingredient is appropriate for dietary supplements, functional foods, gummies and gels, and ready-to-drink beverages in a clinical dose of 160 mg.
"There are many options in the market today," said Catherine Kwik-Uribe Ph.D., Nutrition21’s VP of scientific and regulatory affairs. "The research shows that Lustriva's unique formulation offers 2-in-1 benefits that you can see and feel. Fortunately, the science and technology behind Lustriva offers formulators the assurance they need that the right forms of biotin and silicon makes all the difference; the highly bioavailable forms of silicon and biotin can only be found in this product.”
