Your hair, your skin, and your nails may seem like unrelated entities, but they have one important thing in common: keratin. Keratin is a protein which helps form hair, nails, and your skin’s outer layer (epidermis). And though your body produces keratin naturally, the aging slows this production down, just like collagen in the skin.1 Taking a supplement like Foundation Skincare UnTangled Hair Supplement can help promote healthy keratin production, thus improving the appearance of your hair, your skin, and your nails in a number of ways. Let’s find out how.
What Is UnTangled Hair Supplement?
UnTangled Hair Supplement contains a custom blend of marine-derived collagen, herbs, minerals, and vitamins needed for healthy keratin production. These ingredients help to revitalize a stagnant hair growth cycle by increasing the production of keratin in follicles for visibly thicker, fuller hair. Backed by science, the supplement does not contain any fillers or ingredients that haven’t been proven to be beneficial for hair support.
UnTangled Hair Supplement can help with the following:
- Hair loss, thinning, or shedding
- Slow hair growth
- Weak, dull hair that breaks easily
- Nutrient deficiencies
- Autoimmune disorders like alopecia
- Damage from hair treatments and products
And as you’ll discover below, the supplement can also positively impact your skin and nail health.
How It Works
Start off by thinking of your hair as a construction site. Without raw materials, the workers can’t build. UnTangled Hair Supplement supplies those raw materials in the form of keratin.
Here’s what clinical studies show about how key ingredients in the supplement plays a significant role in keratin production and overall hair health:
- Marine Collagen: Packed with amino acids that your body needs to create keratin2
- Vitamin A: Promotes keratin synthesis3
- Vitamin C: Supports the formation of keratinocytes and offers antioxidant defense4
- Vitamin D: Helps to create new hair follicles5
- Vitamin E: Creates a protective layer on the hair cuticle to minimize breakage, while protecting against free radical damage in nails and skin6
- Biotin: Supports keratin production7
- Niacin: Increases keratin synthesis while retaining moisture in the lipid barrier8
- Folic Acid: Promotes healthy cell growth and helps with the keratinization of hair as it is growing while preventing hair graying9
- Iron: Oxygenates hair to promote growth while repairing brittle nails and dull skin10
- Selenium: Selenoproteins are necessary for the proper function of keratinocytes and keratin production11
- Zinc: Supports the reproduction of keratinocytes, the cells that produce keratin12
- Pantothenic Acid: Prevents moisture loss while repairing damage13
- Horsetail Extract: Promotes hair and nail growth while protecting cells from oxidative damage14
- Saw Palmetto: Blocks 5-alpha-reductase, an enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT, which is thought to be related to hair loss and acne15

Benefits of UnTangled for Nail Health
Lastly, keratin plays an important role in nail health by protecting them from damage and making them strong and resilient. So the ingredients in UnTangled Hair Supplement that support keratin production will also benefit your nails. But the following ingredients also have benefits specifically tied to your nail health:
- Vitamin C: Promotes nail growth22
- Vitamin E: Prevents yellowing of nails23
- Folic Acid: Protects nails from becoming rigid and brittle24

How Often Should You Take It?
The recommended dosage for UnTangled Hair Supplement is twice daily, preferably one in the morning and the evening with an 8 oz. glass of water. It’s important that you stay consistent with your dosage to see the best improvement, which should start to appear by the 30-day mark, with full results by day 90. Once you achieve the desired results, it is recommended to take one tablet per day of the UnTangled supplement to maintain results.
Taking UnTangled Hair Supplement is just one positive action you can take to improve your hair, skin, and nails. Lifestyle habits like eating well, getting enough sleep, and staying hydrated are also crucial to keratin production and whole-body health.
