Cystine Vitamine B6 120 cps Biogaran Conseil, used to strengthen fragile hair and nails, and in the adjunctive treatment of corneal scarring and incipient calvicia (hair growth).

What is Cystine Vitamin B6 Biogaran used for?

This medicine is used to strengthen fragile hair and nails, and in the adjunctive treatment of corneal scarring and incipient calvicia (hair growth).

  • Cystine penetrates the keratogenic zone of hair follicles, as well as the nail matrix. In addition, cystine accelerates the multiplication of germ cells in these keratogenic zones, a phenomenon that has been observed with 3H thimidine, and stimulates hair and nail growth.
  • Vitamin B6 effectively enhances cystine penetration.

This is a medicinal product: please read the instructions carefully before use.

Cystine Vitamine B6 from Biogaran Laboratories is a film-coated tablet used in the adjunctive treatment of phanerial disorders(brittle nails and hair) and in the adjunctive treatment of corneal healing disorders.

Intended for adults, Cystine Vitamine B6 Biogaran contains 500 mg L-Cystine and 50 mg Vitamin B6 per tablet. It truly nourishes hair and nails from within, restoring their strength and beauty.

Vitamin B6 promotes proper functioning and balance of the nervous system.

Other indications :

This medicine contains a sulfur-containing amino acid and vitamin B6. It is used to strengthen fragile hair and nails, and in the adjunctive treatment of corneal scarring.

Understanding how hair works

To grow hair faster, it's important to understand how hair works. Hair grows from its roots, which develop beneath the scalp in a tiny envelope called the hair follicle. It emerges from the root via the papilla, located at the base of the root and through which blood enters and nourishes it. It is the "raw material" contained in the blood that enables the hair to grow. In a second stage, the blood passes from the papilla to the matrix, where the hair's reproductive cells are located, the fastest cells in the body.

How do I use cystine?

Take 4 Cystine Vitamin B6 Biogaran tablets a day, twice a day, with meals. Swallow the tablets with a full glass of water.

Advice

Taking care of your hair
A few simple gestures will also strengthen your hair:

  • Use a mild shampoo and space out your washes as much as possible to avoid overproduction of sebum... a veritable vicious circle.
  • When you dry your hair, blot without rubbing.
  • Don't put your hair dryer on maximum heat, and avoid holding it too close.

Protect your hands
Our hands - and therefore our nails - are also subjected to a great deal of stress on a daily basis.

  • Wear gloves when doing housework, as cleaning products are often highly irritating.
  • Wash your hands with a mild soap and don't forget to moisturize them daily. Insist just under the nails and before the joint, where the matrix that produces the nail is located. This stimulates growth and prevents the appearance of streaks.

A greater fall in hair may occur seasonally (in the fall) or after delivery: this fall is normal, transient and there is no need to start treatment.

vitamin
An essential ingredient for the growth and proper functioning of the body. Vitamin requirements are normally covered by a varied diet.
