Why it was created

Beauty begins at
the growth matrix.

Hair and nails are keratin-rich structures. Their appearance reflects a complex interaction between the growth cycle, amino-acid availability, micronutrient status and daily care.

ANA GAIN™ Nu combines a studied pea-sprout active with hydrolysed keratin, L-cystine, L-methionine and a distinctly Japanese botanical-mineral layer.

Botanical research · hair-cycle context

A botanical beginning.
A gradual cycle.

The germinated-pea ingredient is placed in the context of a hair follicle and its naturally changing growth cycle.

YOTSUBA JAPAN FORMULA STUDY
AnaGain™ Nu is a germinated-pea-derived ingredient studied in relation to the hair-growth cycle. The cross-section separates the visible hair shaft from the follicle beneath the skin surface. Hair follicles move through growth, transition and resting phases. The timing and response vary between individuals. Illustrative ingredient study.

Hair, nails and the daily nutrition ritual

Botanical signal.
Structural nutrition.

The product brings several complementary ideas into one daily serving: the pea-sprout active, keratin-building amino acids, a Japanese camellia layer and supporting marine, mineral and botanical ingredients.

Ingredient evidence library

Evidence, with the
right boundaries.

Important distinctionThe sources below examine individual ingredients, preclinical models, different formulas or non-equivalent doses. They are not clinical trials of the complete ANA GAIN™ Nu product.
AnaGain™ NuPilot human study

Oral pea-sprout extract and hair shedding

A small nutrition intervention enrolled 21 volunteers and evaluated 100 mg daily for eight weeks. Hair shedding was significantly reduced after 28 days. The study was small and linked to the ingredient developer.

Pea-sprout extractPreclinical mechanism study

Pea-sprout extract and follicle signalling

A 2025 study used human dermal-papilla cells, macrophage cells and a mouse model to examine Wnt/β-catenin signalling, growth-factor expression and anagen-phase biology. It adds mechanistic context, but it is not a human trial and does not establish an effect for this finished product.

Keratin hydrolysateIngredient-level RCT

Keratin nutrition, hair and nail parameters

A randomised trial evaluated a different keratin-based supplement at a materially higher dose. It supports the broader ingredient rationale, but it is not a trial of this formula and its results cannot be transferred directly.

L-cystine + B vitaminsRandomised double-blind trial

Cystine-containing combinations and diffuse shedding

A four-month trial in 72 women compared two B-vitamin and L-cystine combinations with placebo and assessed hair quality and anagen rates. One active combination outperformed placebo, but its composition differed from ANA GAIN™ Nu, so the result cannot be assigned to cystine alone.

BiotinRetrospective nail study

Biotin in people with brittle nails

A small retrospective study reported clinical improvement in 22 of 35 evaluated people with brittle nails. The study was uncontrolled and used a therapeutic context and dose that should not be equated with the 100 μg biotin in this daily formula.

Vitamins & mineralsClinical review

Micronutrients and hair-loss evidence

A dermatology review describes the relationship between micronutrient status and hair health while warning that supplementation is most relevant when a deficiency or clinical need is present.
