    The Hair Elixir

    Our verdict

    Worth trying if hair shedding follows a stressful stretch or perimenopause, less so if you have not ruled out iron deficiency or thyroid problems first. Get bloods done before you spend three months on capsules.

    Pros

    • +Zinc and biotin combined
    • +Adaptogens for stress-linked shedding
    • +Three-month pack available

    Cons

    • -Biotin can skew thyroid blood tests
    • -Will not help if the cause is iron or thyroid
    • -Needs three months minimum

    Evidence

    Biotin only helps in true deficiency, which is rare. Zinc deficiency is a recognised cause of hair loss. Most female hair shedding has an underlying cause worth investigating first.

    Two capsules daily with food
