Pure Encapsulations Hair+Skin+Nails Ultra 60 Capsules is a food supplement that combines vitamin C, zinc, biotin and copper with BioCell Collagen, grape seed extract and CoQ10. Two capsules a day provide all of these, and a pack gives you 30 servings. Several of its vitamins and minerals have authorised claims for normal skin, hair and nails, so you can see which nutrients are included and in what amounts.

Please note the following:

• If you are pregnant or lactating, have any health condition or are taking any medication, consult your health professional before use.
• Two capsules provide 30 mg of zinc. NHS guidance is not to take more than 25 mg of zinc supplements a day unless advised by a doctor, because high doses of zinc reduce the amount of copper the body can absorb, which can lead to anaemia and weakening of the bones.
• Do not exceed the stated daily dosage.
• Use only if the safety seal is intact.
• Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied diet.
• Keep out of the reach of young children.
