Does Biotin Help to Fight Hormonal Hair Loss? I've Tested Dozens of Biotin Vitamins and Gummies. - Here Are 5 That Actually Work
Which products actually work for hormonal hair-loss?
Hormonal hair-loss, also known as androgenetic alopecia, is the most frequent cause of hair loss in women. It can develop at any age but it usually comes with menopause.
During menopause, estrogen levels drop, which can disrupt the hair growth cycle and contribute to thinning
Finding a solution can be stressful and expensive because the list of anti hair-loss products out there never seems to end! Specially since all of them have different active ingredients.
Biotin? Minoxidil? Keratin? How do you know which one to choose?
Fortunately, throughout my many years of clinical trichology experience, it's my job and life's passion to help my clients look and feel their best through haircare.
Over the years, I've been lucky enough to try almost every type of anti-hair loss technique and product out there on me and my clients. Shampoos and oils do work, but there has always been one consistent winner I recommend to my clients who don't want to go under the needle...
My favorite anti-hair loss product? Biotin hair vitamin gummies!
Oral ingestion of a vitamin gummy allows for better absorption into the bloodstream, delivering essential vitamins and minerals directly to hair follicles. This is more effective compared to topical treatments like masks or serums.
But with so many hair vitamin gummies brands out there, it wasn't easy for my clients to find the brands that really worked.
In the last 2 years, I've tested hundreds of hair gummies (so you don't have to!), and would love to share with you my top 5 that actually helped me and my clients look visibly younger.
These vitamin gummies blew me away! I'd never heard of WEEM until my colleague at my old trichology job first showed me…
Whenever I would recommend WEEM to my clients after their treatments - they'd always come back saying how their friends and husbands complimented them on how full and healthy their hair looks.
WEEM is Vegan, plant based and Gluten-Free - So you don’t have to worry about any unexpected side effects.
It's anti-hairloss superpower secret? Its unique biotin blend formulation.
But don’t let the word “Biotin supplement” fool you, our skin naturally produces hair follicle cells, however, over time we produce less so finding a great vitamin with a quality Biotin formulation is essential for a healthy scalp.
The reason that WEEM was my number one pick was its instant effectiveness from their ingredients blend and how quick it started to fill out bald spots.
Due to its high-quality synthetic-free ingredients, the hair growth effects came within just 14 days of daily use, whereas no other hair product worked faster.
Phyto Phytophanre Dietary Supplement may cost an arm and a leg at $60, but if you have stubborn, and dry scalp skin, then this high potency and satisfying rich in faty acid vitamin could be a serious game-changer for you.
Enriched with five different types of vitamins, and antioxidants that work together for maximum scalp rejuvenation, as well as peptides to help speed up collagen production, it plays a key role in boosting hair growth and improving overall hair strength and elasticity — while also playing a significant role in preventing thinning hair in the long run. It comes in at #2 instead of #1 because we saw the same results as WEEM, but it’s nearly 3x the price.
This hardworking vitamin is pricey, but is highly effective at restoring patches of bald spots. It also includes some bonus ingredients—like Curcumin and Saw palmetto — that repairs damaged fibers to prevent breakage and split ends
We felt that this vitamin, while it does work, it did take longer to work compared to some of the others, and hence why it takes my #3 spot.
Most are familiar with SugarBearHair. This trusted brand contains gentle ingredients that are better for a sensitive scalp, at a reasonable price. It also contains vitamin B12 and vitamin D to stimulate growth and promote healthy hair.
This made our list because of the price tag, however, we did not see the same results as WEEM or Phyto Phytophanere, but still worth trying if you want to give it a shot.
This product has a great amount of Biotin (5000mcg) per serving in addition to some other effective ingredients like vitamin C, vitamin E, and Keratin, to help rejuvenate your hair follicles which helps grow softer hair.
For those looking to avoid minerals in your skincare this might not be for you, however, this product is extremely tasty. It is a bit sticky, so we would store it in a dry place, but it definitely helps provide healthy hair. The reason Olly takes my #5 spot, is it may not be suitable for those with a sensitive scalp.
