Frequently Asked Questions

What are hair supplements?

Hair supplements provide the nutrients your hair relies on to stay healthy - hair is one of the fastest-growing tissues in the body, so it makes real nutritional demands. The best-known is biotin, which contributes to the maintenance of normal hair, alongside zinc and selenium, which do the same. Our range covers targeted single nutrients and an all-in-one formula.

What are hair supplements good for?

They're taken to maintain normal, healthy hair from the inside - keeping the follicles supplied with the nutrients hair growth depends on. Biotin, zinc and selenium all contribute to the maintenance of normal hair, while copper contributes to normal hair pigmentation. Because hair reflects overall nutrition, a well-fed body tends to show it - which is why crash diets so often show up in the mirror first.

Which hair supplement is right for me?

For a single targeted nutrient,High Strength Biotin 2500mcg - a full 5000% NRV - is the classic choice for maintaining healthy hair. If you'd rather cover every angle at once, our Hair, Skin & Nails formula blends 20 nutrients including biotin, selenium and vitamin C. And if you suspect a broader gap, Zinc 10mg in easily absorbable citrate form contributes to the maintenance of normal hair too.

What is biotin and does it really help hair?

Biotin (vitamin B7) is the nutrient most associated with hair, and with good reason - it contributes to the maintenance of normal hair, and it's involved in the metabolism of the proteins hair is built from. Our High Strength Biotin provides 2500mcg per tablet - 5000% NRV - and also helps support the nervous system and energy release from food.

Which vitamins and minerals are best for hair?

Biotin leads the list, with zinc and selenium alongside it - all three contribute to the maintenance of normal hair - while copper supports normal hair pigmentation. The B vitamins more broadly support the energy metabolism that fast-growing hair depends on. Rather than juggling them, our Hair, Skin & Nails formula brings 20 nutrients together in one tablet.

How long do hair supplements take to work?

Longer than you'd like - and anyone promising overnight results isn't being honest. Hair grows around a centimetre a month, and nutrients can only influence new growth at the follicle, not the hair already on your head. Most people take hair supplements consistently for three to six months before judging, which is why our one-a-day formats are designed for easy long-term use.

Why is my hair thinning or shedding?

Some shedding is completely normal - we all lose up to 100 hairs a day. Beyond that, common culprits include stress, hormonal changes (including menopause), crash dieting and nutritional shortfalls in iron, zinc or biotin. Supplements can help cover the nutritional side, but if you're experiencing sudden or patchy hair loss, see your GP, as it can signal an underlying condition that needs proper attention.

Can diet affect my hair?

Very much so - hair is built almost entirely from protein and is one of the first places a poor diet shows. Protein, iron, zinc, biotin and B vitamins all matter, which is why crash diets and restrictive eating so often lead to dull or shedding hair. A balanced diet does the heavy lifting; a good multivitamin or targeted hair supplement fills the gaps.

Do hair supplements work for men and women?

Yes - the nutrients hair depends on are the same for everyone, so biotin, zinc and selenium earn their place regardless. That said, the common causes of hair concerns differ: women often notice changes around the menopause or during their monthly cycle (where iron is worth watching), while men's thinning is more often hereditary - something supplements support around but can't reverse.
