It also contains a patented complex (biotin, niacin, pantothenic acid, zinc and linoleic acid) to strengthen the skin barrier. Omega 3 fatty acids (EPA DHA) can help with skin and intestinal issues and the combination of carefully selected nutrients can also contribute to a balanced digestive system.
