Growing from Within: Hair Growth Supplement Stories

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts describe hair growth supplements. Writers describe the shedding that sent them to the shelf — after babies, fevers, exams, crash diets and weight-loss surgery, through perimenopause and night shifts, under tight braids — and the bottles that followed: biotin, collagen stirred into coffee, marine collagen, zinc, saw palmetto, kelp, amla, moringa, brewer's yeast, prenatal vitamins and costly subscription gummies. The clearest pattern in the book is that supplements seemed to help most where blood tests found a genuine gap — low iron, vitamin D, B12 depleted by metformin, too little protein on the plate — and that thyroid disease, fibroids, PCOS, stopping the pill, bleach and stress turned out to be the real cause for many. Writers are frank about the rest: normal results and no change, giving capsules credit for regrowth that would have happened anyway, and stopping everything with no difference. Harms are here too: biotin that distorted blood test results, kelp that unsettled a thyroid, too much zinc, breakouts from biotin and hives from marine collagen. Later chapters cover asking pharmacists and an oncologist first, gym advice versus medical advice, a daughter's hair loss, and what writers actually take now.

Who it's for

For anyone with a cupboard full of hair vitamins, people shedding who have not yet had blood tests, readers wary of supplement marketing, and pharmacists who field these questions every day.
