Unlock The Secrets to Glowing Hair, Radiant Skin, and Strong Nails
We all face our own unique health hurdles. For some it’s the thinning or loss of hair, for others it’s brittle, fragile nails. For me, it was several decades ago that I developed a fungal infection in my blood. Though it was able to be treated, it led to an ongoing health journey resulting in recurring eczema that included persistent irritation, inflammation and discomfort. I would love to suggest this blog is about a quick fix. But the truth is, it has taken years of patience, discomfort, and perseverance to discover my own successes. The turning point, in which I began to see the most meaningful results, only started when I began to address the overall well-being of my internal health systems.
I can say with confidence, healing is possible. It was when I took the burden off my digestive systems and targeted my liver and kidney function with clinical nutrition, I noticed real improvements not just with my skin but with my overall well-being. Like many of us, my health journey continues, but I’m excited to share what I’ve learned thus far because I truly believe these strategies can help you, just as they’ve helped me.
Beauty Is From Within
Throughout the world it is clinically recognized that the vitality of your hair, skin and nails is not just a cosmetic concern but a direct reflection of your blood’s condition and the systems
responsible for cleansing it – your liver, kidneys and intestines (“Now That You're Prepared ... It's Time for a Spring Cleansing.") When these systems are overburdened (whether due to poor diet, stress, or environmental toxins), it can manifest in issues such as hair loss, brittle nails, and dry or irritated skin. Nourishing your body with the right nutrients, maintaining healthy digestion and detoxification, and supporting the function of these organ-
gland systems is essential for promoting long-term hair, skin and nail health.
Beauty Starts with Collagen: The Essential Nutrient for Youthful Skin, Strong Nails and Healthy Hair*
Collagen makes up about one-third of all the proteins in the body, providing structural support, strength and resiliency for hair, skin and nails.* But as we age, we lose about 1.5% of the ability to replenish collagen each year. Not only does the loss of collagen possibly cause wrinkles in the skin, brittle nails and dry hair but it can also slow the necessary healing and repair of these areas when in need.* Furthermore, collagen is vital to the health of cartilage.* And age-related depletion of collagen affects joint function causing stiffness and movement limitations.* Supplementing with collagen delivers the necessary foundational support and provides the essential building blocks for hair, skin and nail health.*
AzureWell Collagen, Pure (Deep Water Marine) is highly absorbable hydrolyzed collagen peptides that provide the building blocks of collagen directly targeting hair, skin and nail health.* Collagen provides essential amino acids critical to hair health, protecting hair follicles from free radical damage and supporting the dermis to maintain hair strength and prevent age-related thinning.* In the skin, collagen has been demonstrated to improve age-related skin changes, increasing skin hydration and elasticity while reducing fine lines, wrinkles and dryness.* For the nails, science has demonstrated that 2.5 grams of collagen peptides resulted in a significant decrease in nail breakage, improved nail appearance and increased nail growth.*
Nourishing Hair Vitality
The body’s cellular energy plays a crucial role in maintaining strong, vibrant hair. When cellular energy is depleted, it can lead to thinning, premature graying, or even hair loss. To boost your body's cellular energy and mitochondrial function it's helpful to first focus on healthy ceruloplasmin activity. (We covered the importance to ceruloplasmin in a recent blog post and in Episode #1 of AzureWell's new podcast.) With proper energy from healthy ceruloplasmin activity, the body can maintain the correct balance (and location) of important minerals like zinc, copper, and iron. Hair follicles are also protected from oxidative stress when the body maintains healthy antioxidant activity in this way.

Digestive Health Is The Key To Radiant Skin
Your skin is a mirror of your internal health, particularly the health of your intestines. To maintain radiant skin, it is important to digest the foods we eat. We must support the digestive processes and make sure we are consistently removing the body's digestive wastes so they do not putrefy in the intestines and release unwanted metabolites in the blood. As we get older, our digestive strength can be weakened by factors like eating cooked foods, being exposed to toxic chemicals, and battling environmental stressors. A healthy digestive system is the key to radiant skin and achieving optimal health for our entire body.
AzureWell’s TOP THREE for radiant skin health:
AzureWell Collagen, Pure (Deep Water Marine) Helps maintain a healthy, hydrated, resilient skin barrier, promoting a radiant complexion, reducing wrinkles and promoting skin elasticity.*

AzureWell Dual-Purpose Proteolytic Enzymes Proteolytic Enzymes help break down complex sugars and carbohydrates promoting healthy digestion and inflammatory response, both of which are important for supporting healthy skin.*
Healthy Nails Begin with Liver Health and Bone Strength
Liver health and bone health (“Strong Bones = A STRONG YOU”) each play a foundational role in nail health through their action in nutrient metabolism, detoxification, and blood production. Many of the same minerals found in bones are also present in nails but nails rely much more on the liver to formulate key proteins such as collagen and keratin. Healthy liver function (“Now That You're Prepared ... It's Time for a Spring Cleansing”) is critical for strong, healthy nails. When liver health is compromised, nails can become brittle, weak, and slow-growing.
AzureWell’s TOP THREE to support nail strength and growth:
AzureWell Collagen, Pure (Deep Water Marine) Supports healthy nail growth and strength aiding in overall nail resilience.* Furthermore, maintains joint, bone, tendon, muscle, gut, and cardiovascular health by supporting key structural tissues.*
AzureWell Fermented Turmeric + Ginger Powder, Organic Supports healthy nails by aiding liver detoxification and promoting glutathione production, which helps remove toxins that can affect nail strength and appearance.*
AzureWell Activated B-Complex, Full-Spectrum Biologically active, end-chain B vitamins, including biotin, B12, folic acid, B6, and riboflavin to help support healthy nails by promoting cell growth, maintaining nail strength, and contributing to keratin production as part of a balanced diet.*
Set the Foundation for Long Lasting Results
Radiant skin, glowing hair, and resilient nails are the result of focusing both on internal nourishment as well as external care. Nourishing your body while supporting the eliminatory systems is a strong foundation for lasting beauty. As I have experienced firsthand, the healing powers of the body are transformative. It was only when I prioritized my internal health systems, I found the real results I needed with my skin’s health. By feeding your beauty from the inside out, you set the foundation for strong radiant hair, skin and nails for many years to come.
