learn Biotin

supplement to help with hair texture and quality

Vitamins vs. minoxidil: who wins the battle for hair growth? Minoxidil is generally more effective for hair growth than vitamins.

learn Trichogen® (foligain)

learn Folic acid

How does folic acid support hair follicle health and growth at a cellular level? Folate is required for the DNA synthesis that fast-dividing hair matrix cells depend on, and severe deficiency causes anemia—but no published trial has given folic acid to people with hair loss and measured the result, so a growth effect is a mechanism, not a finding.
Can folic acid be combined with other treatments like minoxidil or biotin for better results? There is no published controlled trial of folic acid combined with minoxidil and biotin, so no synergy has been demonstrated; the vitamins have documented value only for correcting a diagnosed deficiency, and high doses of each carry known cautions.
Is there a difference between taking folic acid supplements and using folic acid in topical hair products? Oral folic acid uses the body's normal absorption route and can correct a measured deficiency, but no published trial shows it treats hair loss; topical folic acid has no human evidence for hair growth and struggles to cross the skin barrier at all.

learn Dexpanthenol

precursor of vitamin B5 with hair stimulating effects

learn Follicusan

learn Vitamin D

vitamin you should probably be taking for general health might also help your hair a little

learn procapil

Can a liquid formula with Procapil do more than your usual multivitamin? Procapil is a cosmetic ingredient, not an approved hair-loss drug: the published studies on it are small and test it in combination with caffeine or platelet-rich plasma, so none isolates its own effect, and the percentages quoted in marketing come from the ingredient supplier's unpublished studies. Vitamins are reported to help hair only where there is a deficiency, so the two are aimed at different problems rather than ranked against each other.
