Biotin - the "beauty vitamin"
Beauty comes from within. Nutrition plays the biggest role here, as the body is best able to utilize the properties of the nutrients it absorbs. Healthy, fresh foods provide essential minerals, trace elements and vitamins. Vitamin B7 is essential for beautiful skin and hair : biotin.*
Soy, beef liver, egg yolk and dried yeast contain the most biotin, but this is not exactly on everyone's daily menu. So if you can't meet your biotin requirements, you should choose the natural alternative: Biotin in concentrated form as a dietary supplement.
Zinc - the "beauty mineral"
Due to its numerous functions in our organism, zinc can be described as a true all-rounder. It is a component of almost 300 enzymes and is therefore involved in an enormous number of processes in our body. Above all, zinc has made a real name for itself as a beauty mineral, as it plays a key role in maintaining normal skin, hair and nails*.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), almost 50% of all people are deficient in zinc, which is often due to a diet low in zinc (fast food, industrially manufactured products, vegan lifestyle).
Selenium - the trace element for well-groomed hair & nails
Selenium is a component of over 20 enzymes and proteins with a wide variety of properties, most importantly supporting the health of hair and nails.* The trace element is found in particularly high doses in nuts (Brazil nuts, coconuts etc.), pulses such as lentils and cereals (e.g. oat flakes).
As Germany and northern European countries in particular have predominantly selenium-poor soils, this is also reflected in our diet, e.g. in cereals, potatoes and vegetables. However, chronic gastrointestinal diseases, exposure to heavy metals, smoking, stress and pregnancy can also contribute to a selenium deficiency.
Who is BIOTIN ZINK & SELEN suitable for?
BIOTIN ZINC & SELEN tablets are recommended for all adults who value healthy skin, hair and nails. Hair and nails need time to grow back healthily. The skin also needs time to regenerate. It is therefore advisable to take it for several months or - if necessary - permanently.

Zinc - the vital trace element
Zinc can be described as a true all-rounder due to its diverse functions in our body. It plays a role in almost 300 enzymes and is therefore involved in numerous metabolic processes. Above all, zinc is crucial for a healthy immune system and as a "beauty mineral" for maintaining healthy skin, hair and nails*.
Many biochemical processes in the body would not function without zinc - the trace element is therefore vital for us.
However, our body cannot produce zinc itself and it must therefore be taken in through food. If the zinc requirement cannot be covered by the diet, a dietary supplement such as ours can be helpful. The ZINC BISGLYCINATE tablets from Vitactiv contain 25 mg of zinc per tablet and are therefore highly dosed. With just one tablet, you are optimally supplied with the valuable trace element throughout the day.
Zinc deficiency - every second person is affected
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), almost 50% of all people are deficient in zinc. But why is that? The most important factor is probably our modern diet. More and more foods are industrially produced and are often low in zinc. In addition, phosphates from soft drinks etc. and other substances in stimulants hinder the utilization of zinc. A vegetarian or vegan diet also promotes zinc deficiency, as many plant-based foods contain phytic acid, which makes it more difficult to utilize zinc. As zinc can only be stored for a short time anyway, our body has no reserves to fall back on.
We therefore recommend that athletes, for example, pay attention to their mineral balance, as important trace elements such as zinc are also excreted through muscle activity and sweating. However, other reasons can also lead to an undersupply of zinc:
Reduced absorption via the intestines (diabetes, rheumatism)
Taking certain medications (lipid-lowering drugs, cortisone)
Increased requirement due to pregnancy and breastfeeding
Unbalanced diet
Frequent alcohol consumption
Combined intake with cereals (phytates) or coffee/tea (tannins)
Possible symptoms of a zinc deficiency
There are various signs that may indicate a zinc deficiency. These include recurrent colds, persistent tiredness and fatigue, brittle fingernails and white patches on the nails, hair breakage or loss, dry eyes and poor skin health with symptoms such as acne, spots, flaky skin or eczema. However, there are many other possible signs of zinc deficiency, e.g:
Fertility problems
Growth disorders in children
loss of appetite
Night blindness
Zinc helps - especially the high-quality zinc bisglycinate
Zinc is available in various forms - e.g. as zinc citrate, oxide, gluconate, picolinate, methionine, histidine, aspartate, orotate, carbonate, pantothenate and bisglycinate. Vitactiv zinc tablets contain organic zinc bisglycinate - the zinc compound with the highest bioavailability.
Why zinc bisglycinate is the most effective zinc
In zinc bisglycinate, the zinc is bound to an amino acid (glycine) so that it cannot be attacked by stomach acid - it is only absorbed in the intestine and can therefore be optimally utilized by the body.
Zinc bisglycinate has over 40 % higher bioavailability than zinc gluconate, which is already highly absorbable. Zinc bisglycinate is also well tolerated, which makes it possible to take it even if you have stomach problems.
