Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Hair loss and brittle nails affect millions of men and women of all ages and ethnicities and may impact their appearance and psycho-emotional well-being. Genetics, chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, internal and external factors (UV light, pollutants, aging, poor nutrition, as well as psycho-emotional stress), can damage hair follicle and nail plate, influencing the health and appearance of hair and nails.Ovoderm® is a natural eggshell membrane-based oral supplement comprised of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, among more than 400 biomolecules, with a relevant sulphur-bearing amino acid content, with well-known anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and cellular activation properties.The aim of the present research was to study the effectiveness of Ovoderm® on hair and nails of healthy subjects with self-perceived increased hair shedding and/or nail brittleness.The oral administration of Ovoderm® for 60 days resulted in significative improvement of hair density and decreased hair loss, as well as the improvement of scalp sensitivity. Likewise, participants in the Ovoderm® group experienced an improvement in their nail overall condition, in terms of nail hardness, growth rate and glow.The study concluded as well that the ingredient is safe and well tolerated.
