Supplements That Support Radiant Skin & Healthy Hair: What to Take & Why It Works

Written By Shyanne Elmore

Achieving glowing skin and strong, healthy hair goes beyond topical treatments—what you nourish your body with internally plays a major role. While skincare routines and in-office treatments are essential, certain supplements can provide the foundational support your body needs to enhance and maintain those results from the inside out.

Here’s a breakdown of must-have supplements we recommend for skin and hair health, how they work, and who can benefit most.

1. Nutrafol: Hair Growth from Within

Nutrafol is one of the most well-researched, physician-formulated supplements for hair growth. It targets multiple root causes of hair thinning, including stress, hormones, poor nutrition, and environmental toxins.

Key Ingredients:

  • Saw Palmetto (DHT-blocking)

  • Ashwagandha (adaptogen for stress)

  • Marine Collagen (supports scalp and follicle health)

  • Biotin, Zinc, Selenium, Iodine, and Vitamins A, C, D, and E

Benefits:
✓ Improves hair density and thickness
✓ Reduces shedding
✓ Supports a healthier scalp environment
✓ Results in as little as 3–6 months

2. Heliocare: Antioxidant Sun Protection in a Capsule

Heliocare contains Polypodium leucotomos extract, a powerful antioxidant derived from a tropical fern plant. It helps protect your skin from the inside against the harmful effects of UV radiation.

How it works:

  • Neutralizes free radicals caused by sun exposure

  • Reduces inflammation and pigmentation

  • Helps prevent sun-induced aging and skin damage

Benefits:
✓ Boosts the skin’s resilience to UV damage
✓ Supports even skin tone
✓ Ideal for melasma, sun sensitivity, and post-procedure care

3. Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide): For Clearer, Healthier Skin

Vitamin B3, or Niacinamide, is a multitasking nutrient that supports the skin barrier, improves tone, and helps reduce inflammation.

How it works:

  • Supports ceramide production for a strong skin barrier

  • Reduces redness, blotchiness, and hyperpigmentation

  • Regulates oil production and helps prevent breakouts

Benefits:
✓ Great for acne-prone and sensitive skin
✓ Improves skin texture and brightness
✓ Often combined with other skin-clearing nutrients in formulas

4. Collagen Peptides: Elasticity, Hydration, and Strength

Collagen is a structural protein that gives skin its firmness and hair its strength. Unfortunately, collagen production naturally declines with age—but supplementing with hydrolyzed collagen peptides can help restore and maintain it.

How it works:

  • Stimulates natural collagen production

  • Improves skin hydration and elasticity

  • Supports joint, hair, and nail health

Benefits:
✓ Firmer, smoother skin
✓ Stronger, thicker hair and nails
✓ Reduced fine lines and signs of aging

5. Skinbetter Science BioRewind: Advanced Nutraceutical Skincare

BioRewind by Skinbetter Science is a physician-dispensed supplement designed to address visible signs of aging and optimize skin health at a cellular level. This supplement targets glycation, a process responsible for damaging collagen and elastin.

What’s inside:

  • Biotin

  • Zinc

  • Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) leaf extract

  • CORExtract™

Benefits:
✓ Reverses the aging effects of glycation
✓ Helps improve redness, dullness, and rough texture
