With limited regulation over these products, consumers are often left wondering how to discern effective treatments from mere gimmicks.
Hair loss is an emotional experience; many people do not realize the emotional toll until they experience it for themselves. That emotional weight drives the market, which has turned into a multi-billion dollar industry brimming with supplements and serums. Because of limited regulations on supplements and over-the-counter products, it is difficult to find the best supplements for hair growth. So, how does a savvy consumer like yourself separate the fluff and nonsense from the genuine articles?
The Hair Growth Experts Weigh In
When sifting through the hair growth product jungle, seek opinions from licensed dermatologists and hair restoration specialists. Don't trust the label. It is best to discuss your hair loss with your personal dermatologist or specialist. They understand the complex biological processes involved in hair growth and hair loss. A one-size-fits-all approach does not exist.
Most medical experts agree that the key to slowing hair loss and promoting hair growth is identifying the root cause. Genetics, stress, hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, and medical conditions are common culprits. A specialist can help you determine the issue and target treatments or solutions, which may involve taking specific supplements.
Look for FDA-approved ingredients. Ingredients like minoxidil and finasteride have proven track records for hair growth and are FDA-approved. Minoxidil is available over-the-counter, but finasteride requires a prescription.
Many natural ingredients can help with hair growth, but look for those with scientific backing. Some of the ingredients with the most promising preliminary studies are:
- Saw palmetto
- Pumpkin seed oil
- Rosemary oil
Still, before you try any supplements or serums, consult a professional. It is a risk to take supplements, even those touting natural ingredients, especially with existing or underlying health issues.
Supplements vs. Serums
You may hear people discuss hair supplements and hair serums. While it can seem like the terms are interchangeable, they refer to different things. A supplement is primarily meant to remedy nutritional deficiencies that can hinder hair growth. For example, biotin, vitamin D, iron, and zinc all play a role in hair follicle function. Before taking supplements, consult your doctor. Taking supplements without a deficiency can be useless or even harmful.
A hair serum can include specific topical treatments or oils. The serum aims to deliver nutrients directly to the scalp, potentially stimulating follicle growth. Some products may contain ingredients like azelaic acid vs benzoyl peroxide; each is common in acne treatment but has been studied with positive results in hair loss studies.
Many serums use peptides, botanical extracts, and caffeine to support hair density and thickness. These are not the same as hair growth serums, but they can lessen the visible effects of hair loss.
If you are looking for an effective hair growth supplement or serum, contact your dermatologist. Often, finding the right supplement or serum requires tests and personal assessments. In most cases, there is a solution for you, but you shouldn't invest your money without expert guidance. Contact a local dermatologist or seek advice from a hair loss specialist before buying a product that claims hair growth success.
