Lustriva® is a complex that combines Bonded Arginine Silicate with Magnesium Biotinate, a new and superior form of biotin and silicon, to promote healthier-looking skin and hair. Magnesium Biotinate is a novel complex of magnesium ionically bound to biotin. The complex is unique in that it significantly increases biotin solubility 40 times greater than that of D-biotin, commonly found in beauty products. In pharmacokinetic studies, both Magnesium Biotinate and Bonded Arginine Silicate show superior absorption of biotin and silicon, respectively.1
Lustriva utilizes uniquely efficacious doses of biotin and silicon to provide nutritional and structural support for skin and hair, and arginine to improve blood flow for enhanced nutrient delivery and activity. Lustriva enhances hair growth and density, and improves skin elasticity and overall appearance.2 A double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study showed Lustriva increases hair thickness in just 3 weeks, reduces facial wrinkles and reduces fine lines, and improves skin texture.1
