Alterna Caviar have recognized that as we age, hair loses vital nutrients, causing it to become dull and brittle. One of the most important nutrients lost is the omega-3 fatty acid. Caviar is known to provide significant levels of this life-sustaining source and is rich in proteins, vitamins and minerals. Caviar also has a cell format that is similar to human skin, helping to improve the health of the scalp. By including a caviar extract in some of its formulations, Alterna is able to bring back soft, healthy-looking luster while protecting the hair from the effects of aging.
