SADDLE BROOK, NJ (Newswire.com) – Nutrition21 LLC is proud to announce that its patented, clinically-backed beauty from within ingredient, Lustriva® is now available for purchase at major mass-market retail stores.

“We’re really excited about what this milestone represents for Nutrition21 and our Lustriva partners and consumers,” said Joe Weiss, President of Nutrition21.

Lustriva is a patented complex that combines Bonded Arginine Silicate with Magnesium Biotinate — superior forms of silicon and biotin proprietary to Nutrition21.

The magnesium biotinate complex in Lustriva is 40 times more soluble than D-biotin. Lustriva is a unique ingredient that is clinically-researched and provides hair and skin benefits that consumers can see and feel.

In a clinical study¹, participants who took Lustriva daily experienced on average a nearly 20% increase in the growth of thicker hair. In the same study, compared to the start of the study, women who took Lustriva daily for 3 months had improved skin texture and experienced a significant reduction in the appearance of wrinkles.

Lustriva has self-affirmed Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) status, is versatile, and easy-to-use with a small efficacious dose of just 160 mg.

The complex can be easily formulated into a variety of functional food/beverage and dietary supplement applications, including ready-to-drink (RTD) and ready-to-mix (RTM) beverages, gummies and gels, capsules, tablets, and more.
