A B vitamin essential for keratin production and hair growth.
How to Use
Take 2500-5000mcg of biotin daily. Results typically visible after 3-6 months of consistent use.

Biotin is a cofactor for enzymes involved in keratin production — the protein that makes up hair, skin, and nails. Deficiency causes hair thinning and brittle nails.
Ensuring adequate iron stores, which are critical for hair growth.
How to Use
Get ferritin levels tested — optimal for hair growth is 70-80 ng/mL. If low, supplement with 18-65mg of iron bisglycinate with vitamin C.
Why It Works
Iron is essential for the rapid cell division that occurs in hair follicles. Low ferritin (even within 'normal' range) is one of the most common causes of hair loss in women.

How to Use

Why It Works
Rosemary oil improves blood circulation to the scalp, reduces DHT (a hormone linked to hair loss), and has anti-inflammatory properties that support healthy hair follicles.
