Vitabiotics
Perfectil Original
Our verdict
Best thought of as insurance against nutrient shortfall. Hair shedding is usually about ferritin, thyroid or a recent stressor, not biotin.
Pros
- +Inexpensive
- +Covers zinc, selenium and iron
- +Easy to find
Cons
- -Biotin can skew blood tests
- -Does not address the usual causes of hair loss
Evidence
Biotin only helps hair in genuine deficiency, which is rare. High-dose biotin can also distort thyroid and troponin blood tests.
Dose
One tablet daily with food.
Key ingredients
Biotin, zinc, selenium, vitamin C, iron, B vitamins.
Best for
- · General hair, skin and nail nutrient cover
