Melatine Hair & Colour
What this formula is designed for
Melatine Hair & Colour is a multi-nutrient beauty supplement built around hydrolysed keratin and supportive micronutrients. It is intended for people who want to maintain normal hair and nail condition as part of a consistent daily routine. The formula combines structural building blocks with selected vitamins and minerals commonly used in hair-focused products.
It is not positioned as a medical product and is best viewed as nutritional support alongside balanced diet and lifestyle habits. Results, if any, typically depend on regular use and individual factors such as baseline nutrient status. The ingredient selection emphasizes hair, skin, and nails as the central theme.
Keratin and sulfur amino acids
The core ingredient is Mélatine® (hydrolysed keratin), a protein-derived material used in supplements for hair-related routines. It is paired with L-methionine and L-cystine, two sulfur-containing amino acids often included to complement keratin-based formulas. Together, these ingredients are used to align with the structural nature of hair and nails.
This combination is intended to provide a coherent “building-block” profile rather than a single isolated nutrient approach. The doses are moderate and designed to sit alongside the vitamin and mineral components. The overall intent is daily maintenance support.
Key micronutrients for hair-focused support
Biotin is included at a high microgram dose, reflecting its common use in hair and nail supplements. Zinc (as zinc citrate) and selenium (as sodium selenite) add trace-mineral support that is frequently paired with biotin in beauty formulas. These nutrients are included to support normal physiological functions related to hair maintenance.
The formula also includes B-vitamins such as niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), vitamin B6, and folic acid (B9). These contribute to general nutritional coverage and help round out the profile. This supports the product’s broader “hair, skin & nails” positioning.
Antioxidant nutrient layer
Vitamin C and vitamin E provide complementary antioxidant nutrient support within the blend. Beta-carotene (provitamin A) adds an additional carotenoid component, contributing to the overall micronutrient diversity. Selenium and zinc also sit within this antioxidant-oriented nutrient group.
This antioxidant layer is supportive rather than the main focus, helping the formula feel balanced for everyday use. It is intended to complement the keratin and amino-acid base. The combination is typical of beauty supplements that aim for multi-angle nutritional support.
How the ingredients work together
The product combines a structural base (hydrolysed keratin) with sulfur amino acids to align with hair and nail composition. Micronutrients such as biotin, zinc, and selenium are included to complement normal hair-related physiology. Vitamins C and E, plus beta-carotene, add a supportive antioxidant nutrient dimension.
Overall, the formula is a multi-active complex rather than a single-ingredient approach. It is designed for consistent daily use and can be paired with a protein-adequate diet. Users who already take high-dose biotin or multiple multivitamins may wish to review total daily intakes.

Vantaggi
Hair, Skin & Nails
Designed for people who want to support normal hair and nail maintenance as part of a daily beauty-from-within routine. The formula combines hydrolysed keratin (Mélatine®) with sulfur amino acids (L-methionine and L-cystine) that are commonly used as structural building blocks in hair-related supplements. Biotin, zinc, and selenium complement the blend to support normal keratin-related processes and everyday hair appearance goals.
Hair
Useful for individuals focusing specifically on hair appearance and colour maintenance as part of general wellness. Zinc (from zinc citrate), selenium (from sodium selenite), and biotin are included as micronutrients commonly associated with normal hair support. Antioxidant vitamins C and E are added to complement the overall hair-focused positioning.
Skin & Nails
Suitable for those who want broader support for skin and nail appearance alongside hair-focused ingredients. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation, while vitamin E provides antioxidant nutrient support in the formula context. Keratin plus sulfur amino acids (methionine and cystine) are included to align with a beauty-support routine that also considers nails.
Antioxidant Support
Can be used as part of a daily routine that includes antioxidant nutrients. Vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene (provitamin A), selenium, and zinc provide a multi-nutrient antioxidant-oriented profile. This benefit is supportive rather than the main focus, complementing the hair/beauty positioning.
Energy Metabolism
May fit users who want general nutritional support for everyday energy-yielding metabolism. B-vitamins in the formula (niacin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B6, and folic acid) are commonly included in metabolism-focused stacks. This is a peripheral benefit compared with the primary hair/skin/nails intent.
