Renfort Cheveux
Overview
Renfort Cheveux is a beauty-focused supplement designed to support normal hair, skin, and nail maintenance. It combines key micronutrients with botanical and silicon-containing ingredients. The formula is intended for routine wellness use alongside a balanced diet. It is not positioned for medical outcomes.
Hair, skin & nails focus
Biotin, zinc, and selenium are central to the formula’s hair, skin, and nails positioning. Biotin is commonly used in beauty supplements, while zinc supports normal skin-related physiology and general tissue maintenance. Selenium is included in a bioactive amino-acid form (L-selenomethionine). Together, these nutrients form the core of the product’s beauty support profile.
Silicon-containing ingredients
The formula includes Urtica dioica L. leaf extract (10:1) standardized to silicon, plus a silicic acid preparation that also declares silicon content. These ingredients are often used to complement structural and appearance-oriented routines. They are included to broaden the formula beyond vitamins and minerals. The silicon contribution is presented as part of overall beauty support rather than a standalone effect.
Brewer’s yeast as a complementary component
Brewer’s yeast is included as a traditional food-based ingredient used in many beauty formulations. It can provide naturally occurring compounds that complement a micronutrient approach. The ingredient is explicitly noted to contain gluten and sulphites, which may be relevant for sensitive individuals. Its role here is supportive rather than the primary driver of the formula.
Taste, format and everyday use
Xylitol and natural flavour are included to improve palatability, while microcrystalline cellulose and magnesium stearate support manufacturing and flow. Natural beetroot red colouring provides visual identity. These components do not drive the functional positioning but help deliver a consistent serving. For best fit, use consistently and evaluate alongside overall nutrition and lifestyle.
How the ingredients work together
The product combines beauty-associated micronutrients (biotin, zinc, selenium) with silicon-containing ingredients (nettle extract and silicic acid) for a multi-angle approach. Zinc and selenium also contribute to normal protection of cells from oxidative stress, which can be used as a secondary positioning. The overall design is a balanced, non-stimulant beauty formula. It is intended for general wellness support rather than targeted therapeutic use.

Allergens: Cereals containing gluten
| Title | Description |
|---|---|
| Pregnancy – Medium Risk | Use during pregnancy should be discussed with a healthcare professional due to the concentrated micronutrients (biotin, zinc, selenium) and botanical extract. |
| Breastfeeding – Medium Risk | Breastfeeding individuals should seek professional advice before use because nutrient needs and tolerances can differ during lactation. |
| Gluten sensitivity or coeliac disease – High Risk | Brewer’s yeast is explicitly stated to contain gluten, which may not be suitable for gluten-sensitive individuals. |
| Sulphite sensitivity – High Risk | Brewer’s yeast is explicitly stated to contain sulphites, which can trigger reactions in sensitive individuals. |
| Known allergy to nettle (Urtica dioica) – Medium Risk | Individuals with botanical sensitivities may react to nettle leaf extract. |
| Kidney impairment – Medium Risk | Mineral handling may be altered in kidney conditions, so zinc/selenium supplementation should be assessed by a clinician. |
| Title | Description |
|---|---|
| Gastrointestinal discomfort – Low Risk | Zinc and sugar alcohols like xylitol may cause nausea, stomach upset, or loose stools in some people. |
| Bloating or gas – Low Risk | Brewer’s yeast and xylitol can contribute to gas or bloating in sensitive individuals. |
| Headache or taste changes – Low Risk | Some users report mild headache or taste changes with mineral supplements such as zinc. |
| Skin flushing or rash – Low Risk | Botanical ingredients like nettle may rarely cause mild skin reactions in sensitive individuals. |
| Title | Description |
|---|---|
| Antibiotics (tetracyclines/quinolones) – Medium Risk | Zinc can bind certain antibiotics and reduce absorption, so dosing should be separated by several hours. |
| Levothyroxine – Medium Risk | Minerals such as zinc may interfere with thyroid hormone absorption; separate dosing as advised by a clinician. |
| Penicillamine – Medium Risk | Zinc may reduce absorption of penicillamine, so timing separation is typically recommended. |
| Diuretics – Low Risk | Some diuretics can affect mineral balance; discuss combined use if taking long-term diuretic therapy. |

Hair, Skin & Nails
Designed to support everyday hair, skin, and nail maintenance using a combination of biotin, zinc (as zinc citrate), selenium (from L-selenomethionine), and silicon sources. Nettle leaf extract (Urtica dioica L., 10:1) complements the micronutrient profile for a broad beauty-from-within approach. This use is best suited for routine support rather than rapid, short-term changes.
Hair
Supports hair quality and normal hair physiology with biotin, zinc, and selenium, nutrients commonly used in hair-focused formulas. Silicon contributors (nettle extract standardized to silicon and silicic acid) are included to complement structural support. Brewer’s yeast adds additional naturally occurring compounds often used in beauty supplements.
Skin Health
Provides nutrients that contribute to normal skin maintenance, particularly zinc and selenium, alongside biotin. The formula also includes silicon-containing ingredients (nettle extract and silicic acid preparation) that are commonly used in beauty routines. This is intended as general wellness support alongside diet and skincare habits.
Nail Health
Includes biotin and zinc, which are frequently used in supplements aimed at supporting normal nail condition. Silicon sources are included to complement the overall beauty profile. Results, if any, typically align with consistent use over time and overall nutrient intake.
Antioxidant Support
Selenium and zinc contribute to normal protection of cells from oxidative stress, offering a peripheral antioxidant-support angle within a beauty-focused formula. Nettle leaf extract also provides plant-derived compounds that may complement this positioning. This benefit is secondary to the product’s primary hair/skin/nails focus.
