About this ingredient
Ingredients
Lustriva® is a patented ingredient complex from Nutrition21 that combines inositol-stabilized arginine silicate and magnesium biotinate. Magnesium biotinate provides biotin, while arginine silicate provides a source of silicon. The exact amount of Lustriva used in a finished supplement can vary by product.
Lustriva® is a branded, patented nutritional ingredient developed for hair and skin-focused supplement formulations. It combines inositol-stabilized arginine silicate with magnesium biotinate, providing forms of silicon and biotin within a single ingredient complex.
Lustriva is commonly incorporated into beauty-from-within and hair-health formulas. Finished products may combine it with additional biotin, vitamins, minerals, collagen, botanical extracts, or other ingredients depending on the formulation. Product labels show examples using 160 mg of Lustriva® per serving, although the amount can vary between products.
Nutrition21 reports clinical research on Lustriva involving healthy women and hair-related outcomes, including increases in hair thickness. Because results can depend on the complete formulation and individual factors, Lustriva should be described as an ingredient providing nutritional support rather than as a treatment for hair loss or a medical condition.
When purchasing a Lustriva-containing supplement, check the exact Lustriva amount, biotin content, other ingredients, serving size, and manufacturer's directions.
