How to Read a Hair, Skin, and Nails Supplement Label

Start with the serving size. The front label may name collagen or biotin, but the Supplement Facts panel tells you how much the full serving contains.

What to try with food

Compare the label with any multivitamin you already take. A simple food-first routine might include eggs or beans for protein, fruit for vitamin C, and nuts or seeds as a snack.

What to know about supplements

If the product contains biotin, tell your healthcare team before lab testing. If it contains collagen, check the source and grams per serving. Look for a clear ingredient list before comparing claims.
