Does this supplement treat hair loss or help hair grow back?

No. The permitted claim for biotin, zinc and selenium under GB/EU nutrition and health claim rules is that they contribute to the maintenance of normal hair, not that they treat hair loss, reverse thinning or stimulate new growth. If you're experiencing hair loss, it's worth speaking to a doctor or pharmacist about the underlying cause.

How long does HAIRtamin recommend taking Advanced Formula for?

HAIRtamin recommends taking the supplement consistently for at least 60 days.

What is the Advanced Formula capsule made from?

The capsule shell is made from vegetable cellulose rather than gelatine, in keeping with the supplement's vegan formulation.

Why should I mention this supplement to my doctor before a blood test?
