How to Choose

If your hair is shedding more than usual, first look at the cause: poor diet, low iron, recent illness, stress, childbirth, a new medicine or a thyroid problem. A nutrient supplement suits best when your diet is lacking. Use the hair cream for care only, and give any change several months, since hair grows slowly.

What Causes Hair Loss?

Hair normally sheds every day. Increased shedding or thinning can follow illness, fever, childbirth, crash dieting, stress, iron or other nutrient shortfalls, thyroid problems, hormonal changes, scalp conditions, tight hairstyles or some medicines. Inherited pattern thinning is also common.

When to See a Doctor

See a doctor if hair falls out in patches, if you lose a lot of hair suddenly, if the scalp is itchy, scaly, red or painful, or if hair loss comes with tiredness, weight change, heavy periods or other symptoms. A blood test can check for causes such as low iron or a thyroid problem.

What Supplements Can and Cannot Do

Supplements can support the nutrients that normal hair needs. They cannot regrow hair lost to inherited thinning, scarring or medical causes, and results are not guaranteed.

Precautions and Interactions

Do not exceed the labelled serving of any supplement, including zinc.
Biotin can interfere with some laboratory blood tests; tell your doctor you take it before any test.
Pregnant or breastfeeding women should ask a doctor before using supplements.
Test a small area of skin before using a new hair cream, and stop if irritation occurs.
Check labels for allergens.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long before I see results?

Hair grows slowly, so allow at least three months of consistent use before judging any change.

Will biotin stop hair loss?

Biotin contributes to normal hair maintenance, but it will not reverse hair loss that has a medical or inherited cause.

Can hair loss be a sign of something else?

Yes. Nutrient shortfalls and thyroid problems are among the causes, so see a doctor if it is sudden or severe.
