Beauty Blend: Hair, Skin, & Nails Amino Blend

The "Hair, Skin, and Nails" (HSN) blend is a popular research combination that typically fuses L-Proline, L-Lysine, and L-Biotin, often supported by a B-complex base. While technically a blend of amino acids and vitamins rather than a single peptide, it acts as the raw "building blocks" for keratin and collagen synthesis.

1. The Concentration & Dosage
HSN blends are usually pre-mixed in 10ml or 30ml multi-dose vials. Because Biotin and Lysine are water-soluble, the body requires a steady supply to keep the "growth machinery" running.

• Standard Concentration: Varies by lab, but often contains 50mg–100mg of aminos per ml.
• Standard Research Dosage: * 0.5ml (50 units) for baseline maintenance.
o 1.0ml (100 units) for intensive repair or during active growth cycles.

• Syringe Requirement: Because the dose is often 1ml, you will need a 1cc / 1ml / 100-unit insulin syringe.

2. The Cycle (Duration & Timing)
Biological structures like hair follicles and the skin's dermal layer take time to turn over. This is a "long-game" protocol.

Parameter Recommendation
Cycle Length 12–16 Weeks (Consistency is key)
Frequency 2 to 3 times per week (e.g., Mon/Wed/Fri)

Timing Anytime. It does not contain stimulants, so evening use is fine.

3. Administration: Volume & Technique

Because HSN injections are often a full 1ml (100 units), they fall into the "High-Volume" category.

• Subcutaneous (SubQ): This is the most common method. Due to the 1ml volume, it is best to use the "Love Handles" or the Glutes rather than the front of the stomach to avoid localized pressure or lumps.

• The "Slow Push": To minimize the "sting" often associated with high-concentration B-vitamins or Biotin, depress the plunger slowly over 10–15 seconds.

• Rotation: Ensure you are rotating your injection sites to prevent the build-up of scar tissue or localized irritation.

4. Storage & Stability
• Refrigeration: Most amino blends are stable at room temperature, but refrigeration is highly recommended once the vial has been punctured to ensure the longevity of the Biotin.
• Light Sensitivity: Vitamins like Biotin and B-complex are light-sensitive. Keep the vial in its box or a dark drawer.
• Color Check: The solution is often a pale yellow (from the B-vitamins). If it turns a dark cloudy brown, it has likely degraded.

5. Expected Research Outcomes

• Skin: Noticeable improvement in elasticity and "plumpness" due to Proline’s role in collagen.
• Nails: Faster growth and increased thickness (reduced brittleness).
• Hair: Often used to reduce shedding and improve the "sheen" or strength of the hair shaft.

The "Structural" Stack

Researchers often stack the HSN Blend with GHK-Cu:
1. GHK-Cu (2mg): Acts as the "Signal" to tell the body to produce collagen.
2. HSN Blend (1ml): Provides the "Materials" (Proline/Lysine) to actually build it.
