In summary: for hair loss, look for gummies providing
biotin (vitamin B8), zinc and B vitamins.
These nutrients contribute to the maintenance of normal hair. Plan on a course of
three months minimum : that is the time it takes for hair to grow back enough
for the difference to show.
Why does hair fall out?
Losing between 50 and 100 hairs a day is perfectly normal: it is the natural
renewal of the hair cycle. Hair loss is considered abnormal when this amount clearly increases,
when density decreases or when the loss lasts more than three months.
The most common causes are seasonal (autumn and spring), hormonal
(especially post-pregnancy), related to stress, fatigue, restrictive diets or
deficiencies in iron, zinc or B vitamins. Sudden or localized hair loss, or loss
accompanied by itching, should lead you to consult a doctor or dermatologist:
a food supplement never replaces a diagnosis.
Which active ingredients should you look for on the label?
Not all hair gummies are equal. Here is what deserves your attention:
- Biotin (vitamin B8) : it contributes to the maintenance of normal hair.
It is the most documented active ingredient on the subject. - Zinc : it contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and nails, and
is involved in protein synthesis. - B vitamins (B5, B6, B9, B12) : they support the energy
metabolism of cells, including those of the hair follicle. - Vitamins A, C and E : vitamin C helps with the normal formation of
collagen and improves iron absorption.
Also check what is not in the formula: many gummies on the market
are loaded with sugar, which is hard to justify in a course taken every day
for three months. Our beauty
gummies are formulated without sugar and without animal gelatin, made with fruit pectin.
How long does a course last?
Hair grows about one centimeter per month. Even though the follicle reacts quickly, it
mechanically takes several weeks for regrowth to become visible. That is why
a serious course is measured in months, not days:
- Weeks 1 to 4 : nothing visible on the length, but the supply of
nutrients is in place. - Weeks 4 to 8 : this is often when the first “baby hairs”
appear on the top of the head. - Month 3 : density and shine are the changes most often
reported by our customers.
For seasonal hair loss, a three-month course is generally enough. For hair loss related
to stress or a post-pregnancy period, many continue for six months.
Gummies, capsules or ampoules: does it make a difference?
In substance, what matters is the formula and the dosage, not the form. In practice, the form
matters enormously for a simple reason: a course only works if you finish it.
Gummies are taken without water, taste good and are much less easily forgotten than capsules
left in a cupboard. This is an adherence argument, and adherence makes the difference over
three months. We detail the comparison in our article
gummies or capsules: which to choose?
What else should you do alongside the course?
A supplement does not make up for an aggressive routine. In parallel, limit sources of
heat, space out hair coloring, brush gently and favor a diet rich in
protein, iron and omega-3. Sleep and stress management also play a
real role: if that is your weak point, our
relax gummies with magnesium
can complement the routine.
Precautions
Food supplements are not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet
or a healthy lifestyle. Respect the stated daily dose. In case of pregnancy,
breastfeeding, medical treatment or thyroid condition, ask your
doctor or pharmacist for advice before starting a course. Keep out of reach of children.
