Common questions
What supplements help hair growth?
If you're deficient, correcting iron/ferritin, vitamin D and zinc often matters most. Collagen, biotin and silica support the hair matrix, though biotin only helps if you're low.
Does biotin really work for hair?
Biotin helps mainly in people who are genuinely deficient, which is uncommon. If your hair is thinning, check ferritin and thyroid first, a blood test is the fastest answer.
