Key Benefits
Mechanism of Action
How It Works
Keratin Replenishment
Delivers bioavailable alpha-keratin directly to the body — the primary protein in hair shafts. Bypasses the synthesis pathway to provide the finished building block where it's needed most.
Disulfide Bond Support
High cysteine content provides the sulfur amino acids required to form and maintain disulfide bonds — the molecular crosslinks that give hair its tensile strength and resistance to breakage.
Collagen Pathway Activation
Keratin's role in the extracellular matrix stimulates collagen synthesis pathways in the scalp dermis — improving the structural foundation in which hair follicles are embedded.
Cynatine® HNS is derived from ethically sourced New Zealand wool — the highest-purity keratin source available for supplementation.
Sourcing & Production
Where It
Comes From
Cynatine® HNS is manufactured by Roxlor International using a patented hydrolysis process that distinguishes it from mass-market keratin. Conventional processing involves harsh alkaline or acid hydrolysis that fragments the protein, destroying the functional three-dimensional structure that makes keratin bioactive.
The Cynatine process uses low-temperature, low-pressure conditions — more akin to the body's own digestive processes — to produce soluble keratin peptides that retain their biological activity and are readily absorbed through the gut lining.
The source is New Zealand wool, selected for purity, traceability, and consistent keratin composition. New Zealand's stringent animal welfare standards mean the raw material is free from contaminants found in lower-grade keratin sources.
Comparison
Cynatine® HNS
vs. Standard Keratin
Not all keratin is equal. The production process determines whether you're getting a bioactive protein or a denatured shell.
