Hair and Nail Cocktail
A vitamin and mineral mixture aimed at supporting hair and nail structure.
The hair and nail cocktail is the general name for infusions containing ingredients such as biotin, zinc, iron and B group vitamins. The aim is to support hair and nail structure nutritionally. For the application to be meaningful, a deficiency has to be demonstrated first, which is why it is not planned without blood tests. It does not stop genetic hair loss.

Frequently asked questions
Will it stop my hair loss?
If the loss is caused by a deficiency, correcting that deficiency may improve the picture. It does not stop genetic (androgenetic) loss — that is a separate process requiring separate planning.
Why are blood tests requested first?
Supplementation has not been shown to benefit someone without a deficiency, and an excess of some contents can be harmful. The composition is therefore set by the test results.
Does it replace oral supplements?
Not always. Without an absorption problem or a marked deficiency, oral supplementation is sufficient in most cases. The decision rests with the physician.
