Do Vitamin Hair Gummies Work?

On average, hair grows around 15cm a year and we are yet to find a product which speeds this up. While there isn’t a miracle cure, many women are wondering if hair gummies products work for female hair loss.

The rapid growth of hair gummies on social media is targeting girls as young as 12 to use the product. Despite having no hard evidence that they actually work.

Depending on the reason for your hair loss, speaking to a dermatologist or local GP is always the best place to start your hair loss journey.

What is the magic ingredient to the Hair Gummies?

One hair gummies brand we looked at promises to give consumers long, healthy and stronger locks simply by taking 2 tablets a day. It contains 15 ingredients, most of which are sugar and water. The active ingredient claiming to grow your hair are a list of vitamins, folic acids and 5000mcg biotin.

The ingredients in the gummies which help skin and hair is Biotin. The recommended amount for an adult is 30mcg which can achieved with your daily diet. The amount of Biotin in these hair gummies is 167 times the daily recommended amount for an adult.

What Do the Experts say?

The study contested by Labdoor in San Francisco found “the bears contain 70% more biotin than claimed on the label and about 75% the amount of vitamins B5 and B6. The gummies also contain about 26% less Vitamin E than what the company claims on the label.”

Labdoor also commented that the excess of Vitamin B and Biotin doesn’t make the hair gummies more effective. The body releases unnecessary amounts of Biotin provided in these vitamins.
