Looking for gorgeous hair, skin, and nails? Make sure your protein intake is sufficient. Your skin is composed of two structural proteins, collagen and elastin, whereas your hair and nails are composed of the protein keratin. While your body can produce these proteins on its own, adequate dietary protein intake is crucial for their synthesis. One serving of Ka’Chava provides a whopping 25 grams of protein from plant-based sources such as sacha inchi, pea protein, brown rice protein, amaranth, and quinoa.

Zinc is an essential mineral with a myriad of roles in your body, including maintaining the health of your skin, hair, and nails. Zinc is predominantly found in animal-based foods and a few plant foods like cashews, but Ka’Chava packs 68% of your daily zinc needs.

Vitamin A and its precursors, such as beta-carotene, contribute to maintaining healthy skin and function as antioxidants helping combat free radical damage. Beta-carotene, a precursor to vitamin A, is found in various vegetables, including carrots, kale, spinach, brussels sprouts, and cabbage. You can find over two-thirds of your daily needs in just one serving of Ka’Chava.

Vitamin E is the most prevalent fat-soluble vitamin in your skin and acts as a crucial part of your skin’s antioxidant defenses. Foods such as flaxseeds and sacha inchi contain vitamin E, and one serving of Ka’Chava includes 67% of your daily vitamin E needs. Fun fact: Vitamin E works even better when paired with vitamin C.

Vitamin C is the hottest trend in topical skincare, but it works its magic from the inside out, too. One of its claims to beauty fame: It plays a key role in the formation of collagen, a structural protein that helps your skin maintain its supple, bouncy, youthful texture and appearance. Vitamin C also helps protect your skin from free radicals. Foods such as citrus fruits, blackberries, spinach, and broccoli contain vitamin C, and one serving of Ka’Chava includes 33% of your daily vitamin C needs.

To maintain their function and appearance, your hair, skin, and nails require a range of B-Complex Vitamins. For instance, riboflavin, niacin, and biotin all assist in maintaining skin performance and appearance, while biotin contributes to the maintenance of healthy nails. Fortunately, it’s easy to get B vitamins in your diet (provided you’re not cutting out any major food groups), as they’re found in a variety of legumes, nuts, seeds, fruits, and veggies. One serving of Ka’Chava contains over 50% of your daily needs for all B-Complex vitamins.
