Its formula concentrates around 20–21 active ingredients organised into specific complexes (Anap GH, CMS-Keratin, 5α-Lyso-Zinc, Silicon-Choline 3BF) including amino acids that make up keratin (L-methionine, L-cysteine), L-arginine, Eruca sativa and horsetail to stimulate the hair bulb, zinc and biotin to maintain normal hair, amino-chelated copper to support normal pigmentation and shine, natural vitamin E and B vitamins, as well as iron in a highly absorbable bisglycinate form. One box provides a complete 10-week programme of 168 capsules.
