Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 2

Quinoa protein is considered a complete protein source, containing all nine essential amino acids required for human health. The health of nails, which are primarily composed of a tough protein called keratin, can be influenced by dietary protein intake. Inadequate protein consumption can lead to brittle or weak nails. Some studies and nutritional guidelines suggest that increasing dietary protein may improve nail strength and growth, particularly in those with protein deficiencies. Quinoa protein, as a plant-based and allergen-friendly source, is sometimes promoted for this purpose. However, direct scientific studies specifically linking quinoa protein supplementation to improved nail health are limited. Most evidence is extrapolated from general knowledge about protein's role in keratin synthesis and overall nail structure. While quinoa is a nutritious food that can contribute to overall protein intake, its specific use for nail health is not strongly supported by targeted clinical research. Thus, while there is a scientific rationale for protein supporting nail health, evidence directly connecting quinoa protein to nail improvement is moderate at best.
