Feeling confident improves our mood, resilience, performance, and even relationships. But what makes people feel confident? While it comes from many places, one source of self-confidence is how we feel about the way we look. The fact that the phrase “good hair day” even exists is proof that hair plays an outsized role in determining our confidence.
That’s why new consumer data on Lustriva is so noteworthy. In an open-label consumer trial, participants saw measurable improvements in their hair and skin. But beyond those tangible changes, Lustriva achieved something bigger: it helped people feel better about how they look, giving them a welcome confidence boost.1
Inside the New Lustriva Study.
A bioavailable, patented blend of Bonded Arginine Silicate and Magnesium Biotinate, Lustriva provides structural support for hair and skin, offering a safe and effective way to look great from the inside out.*
Previous clinical research has shown that Lustriva supports existing hair growth in as few as three weeks, providing a fuller and thicker look — while also improving skin’s texture — within 12 weeks.*2 This new study set out to determine if these benefits were noticeable to consumers in ways that matter to them.
The open-label, clinic-supported trial collected participants’ feedback on how Lustriva benefited their hair and skin, affected their confidence, and impacted their appearance-related quality of life.
Researchers enrolled 90 women and 13 men, aged 35 and older with mild-to-moderate medically confirmed hair thinning. Participants took 160 mg Lustriva a day for 12 weeks and filled out questionnaires at 4, 8, and 12 weeks.
Visible Improvements to Hair and Skin
By the end of the study, the following observations were recorded.
Noticeable hair benefits:
- Nearly 70% of participants reported reduced hair shedding*
- 57% reported reduced hair thinning*
- 1 in 2 felt their hair looked fuller and shinier*
- 48% reported an increase in new hair growth*
Meaningful skin improvements:
- 50% of participants reported healthier looking skin*
- 40% thought their skin looked brighter — a 3x increase*
- 34% noticed improvements in visible lines and wrinkles*
Looking Better, Feeling Better
Ultimately, the reason consumers take beauty-from-within supplements isn’t for the changes to their hair and skin themselves — it’s for how those changes make them feel.
Consumers taking Lustriva said they looked better — and felt better about how they looked. By the end of the 12-week study, nearly 60% of volunteers said they felt more self-confident and would recommend Lustriva to others.
The impact was sizeable. At the start, only 17% of participants said their hair wasn’t negatively impacting their day-to-day quality of life. Twelve weeks later, 57% felt that way — more than three times as many. For these participants, Lustriva changed more than just the appearance of their hair and skin; it changed how they felt about themselves.
