Be Glossy Hair & Nails

Adult women looking for visible improvements in hair density, skin hydration, and nail strength. The RDAs on the label are calculated specifically for women in heavy-work activity categories. Particularly relevant during life stages where hair and nail changes are common: postpartum, after illness, during seasonal shedding cycles, perimenopause, or just the cumulative wear of a busy life on the building blocks of keratin.

Hydration shifts in skin typically show up within 1 to 2 weeks. Reduced hair shedding usually follows around week 4 to 6 as the keratin pathway responds to consistent biotin and L-cysteine intake. The visible structural changes (hair density, nail strength, sustained skin clarity) take 8 to 12 weeks of daily use, which is the timeline most published hair-vitamin research uses. Hair biology is slow because hair grows slowly, around 1 to 1.5 cm per month. This number varies as per individual’s own biology.

Natural. The biotin in this formula comes from Sesbania Grandiflora leaf extract, a leafy plant native to South Asia. Unlike synthetic D-Biotin used in most hair-and-nail capsules, this is plant-derived biotin in its naturally co-formulated context, with the plant polyphenols that the source carries. The 10 mg dose of Sesbania extract supplies clinically meaningful biotin while keeping the source plant-based.

Biotin, also known as Vitamin B7, is the vitamin most directly linked to keratin synthesis. Keratin is the structural protein that makes up hair shafts, nail plates, and the surface layer of skin. Biotin acts as a cofactor in the enzymatic reactions that build keratin at the hair follicle and the nail matrix, which is why biotin tablets and biotin capsules are the most-searched supplement in this category in India. Biotin works best when paired with the amino acid building blocks (such as L-cysteine) and the metabolic cofactors (such as Vitamins B6 and B12) that this formula also includes.

The Recommended Dietary Allowance for biotin in adult women is approximately 30 mcg per day. For visible hair growth and nail strength benefits, research-aligned doses range from 30 mcg to 5,000 mcg (5 mg) per day, depending on the source and study. This formula uses Sesbania Grandiflora leaf extract (10 mg) as a natural source, which delivers biotin in its plant-co-formulated context. Higher synthetic biotin doses are not necessarily more effective, and very high doses can interfere with certain lab test results (see the side-effects question below). Consistency at the right dose matters more than escalating the dose.

All three formats deliver biotin, but the differences matter. Biotin gummies are usually low-dose, often contain added sugar and synthetic colours, and frequently use synthetic D-Biotin. Standalone biotin tablets typically deliver one nutrient and miss the cofactors that biotin works best alongside. This capsule format combines plant-derived biotin from Sesbania with the supporting amino acids and B-vitamins that drive keratin synthesis together. The capsule is the most evidence-aligned format for the hair, skin and nails outcomes most women are looking for.

L-cysteine is a sulphur-containing amino acid that is essential for forming the disulphide bonds inside keratin, the structural protein that makes up hair shafts, nail plates, and the surface of skin. Without enough L-cysteine, keratin becomes weaker, which shows up as finer hair, brittle nails, and a less resilient skin barrier. The 250 mg dose is research-aligned for visible hair density and nail strength outcomes.

Vegetarian, yes. Vegan, no. The product contains lactose as a diluent (an excipient that helps the active ingredients press into a stable capsule), so the formula contains milk. The allergen panel on the label declares this clearly. Vegetarians can take it; vegans should not.

Yes. This product is a focused hair, skin, and nail formula. The Multivitamin is a broader foundation. They overlap on Vitamins B6, B12, and E at safe combined levels, and complement each other on cysteine and hyaluronic acid (only in the Hair & Nails formula) and the broader vitamin and mineral coverage (only in the Multivitamin). Many women take both daily. Spacing the doses apart, for example Multivitamin after breakfast and Hair & Nails Support after lunch or dinner, is a reasonable habit.

Generally well tolerated. The most common minor effects are mild stomach discomfort if taken on an empty stomach (taking after food reduces this) and, very rarely, mild skin breakouts in the first 2 to 4 weeks as biotin levels normalise. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, on medication, or being treated for a thyroid condition, consult a doctor first (high-dose biotin can interfere with some lab test results).

Consult your doctor before starting. While the ingredients are individually well-studied, beauty-from-within supplementation during pregnancy and breastfeeding should be guided by your own doctor based on your particular health context. High-dose biotin can also interfere with certain lab test results, which is relevant if you are having regular bloodwork done during pregnancy.
