CHEVEUX & ONGLES (Hair & Nails)

Borage oil is naturally rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, particularly gamma-linolenic acid or GLA, a fatty acid from the omega-6 family.

Unlike linoleic acid, which is widely found in the diet, GLA is a more advanced form in the fatty-acid conversion pathway. However, this conversion may become less efficient with age, stress or certain metabolic imbalances. A direct intake of GLA therefore has nutritional value, as it supplies this fatty acid directly to the body.

Once absorbed, GLA can be converted into DGLA, a lipid compound naturally involved in various physiological pathways.

For centuries, borage has been known as “the flower of joy”. Traditionally associated with vitality and radiance, it is now cold-pressed to obtain a precious oil, often associated with the beauty of the skin and the vitality of the hair.

L-cystine: an essential amino acid found in hair and skin appendages

L-cystine is an amino acid naturally found in food, particularly in eggs, poultry, fish, legumes and certain wholegrain cereals.

It belongs to the family of sulphur-containing amino acids, meaning that it contains sulphur, an element that is important in the structure of certain proteins. L-cystine notably plays a role in the formation of keratin, a protein naturally found in hair, nails and skin.

Once ingested, L-cystine is converted by the body into cysteine, a form that can be directly used in various biological processes, including protein synthesis. 

The requirements for and use of these amino acids may vary according to several factors, such as age, nutritional status or the level of oxidative stress. An appropriate intake of sulphur-containing amino acids, including L-cystine, therefore helps to provide the body with the components required for keratin production.
