Have you ever looked down at your nails & noticed some dark lines running through them? It’s not like you dropped something on your nail that would cause a bruise, there is just something there. Not only are they noticeable to you, but you then have to think “How do I even go about removing this?”
What actually causes these?
Dark lines (longitudinal melanonychia) in the nails can be caused by a few different things, ranging from harmless to more serious:
- Melanin build-up – This can happen in people with darker skin tones and is often harmless.
- Trauma or injury – Repeated tapping or pressure can cause pigment changes or small blood vessels to burst under the nail.
- Fungal infections – Sometimes a fungal infection can look like a dark stripe.
- Vitamin or mineral deficiencies – Especially B12, iron, or folate.
- Underlying medical conditions – Like Addison’s disease, or in rare cases, a type of skin cancer called subungual melanoma (especially if it’s one single dark line on one nail).
- Certain medications – Like chemotherapy drugs or antimalarials.
Now, while some of these causes require more specialised treatment, or even nothing beyond time to heal in the case of injury, I do in fact have something that can help with some of these lines!
If the dark lines are due to nutritional deficiencies, internal inflammation, or cell turnover imbalances, then the Hyper Renew Kit can really help. This is because it has been expertly formulated to improve skin health from within. This means it delivers you results throughout your whole body.
Here’s how:
Vitamin B12
This is crucial for healthy nail growth and helps prevent pigmentation issues & ridges caused by deficiency.
Biotin
Seriously one of the most effective nutrients for supporting strong, healthy nails and preventing brittleness or dark discoloration.
Zinc
Our fav healing ingredients also supports nail regeneration and repair. Interestingly a deficiency is often linked to unusual nail changes including lines and pigment streaks.
Licorice Root
This helps reduce systemic inflammation and support balanced pigmentation throughout the body, including our nails.
Dragon’s Blood
This antioxidant-rich ingredient is known for promoting healing and tissue repair, which really supports overall nail bed health.
Polypodium Leucotomos
This fern like plant protects cells from oxidative stress and helps regulate pigment, which assists with the discolouration.
Grapeseed Extract
This antioxidant powerhouse supports circulation and provides protection, which helps improve the clarity and health of the nail bed.
Lustriva
My personal fav clinically backed blend has been proven to improve nail growth and strength by supporting collagen production and microcirculation.
So if you want a way to tackle these nail related issues (plus get the most radiant glass skin ever) get your hands on the Hyper Renew Kit!
