Keep scrolling to see a few of the top-rated hair health & growth supplements, so you can get your growth on!
6 Top-Rated Hair Health & Growth Supplements
JS Health Vitamins, Hair + Energy Formula
With over 9,000 positive reviews, it’s safe to say that JS Health Vitamins’ Hair + Energy Formula is a fan-favourite. Formulated with Iodine, which originates from Zinc and the brand’s signature kelp, these capsules support hair growth and overall energy levels.
According to the brand, their signature JSHealthKelp contains two key ingredients which make this a superpower supplement: fucoidan and marine polyphenols. “These extracts are known to promote growth factors specifically connected to the hair cycle. Research shows that supplementing with kelp extracts helps to promote hair health.”
What Reviewers Say:
“I bought the hair & energy table after losing weight and also losing my hair! Only 30 days in and I can see a HUGE difference! My hair is healthy again, I can see new growth and just can’t believe how quick it’s improved my hair! My energy has picked up too! Have ordered some others to try now and can’t wait to see the difference they make!” – Kristie D.
Viviscal, Maximum Strength Supplement for Women
For those looking to improve length and thickness specifically, these capsules from Viviscal might provide a solution. Like the JS Health Vitamins supplements, Viviscals’ supplement is also formulated with a proprietary marine protein complex. Unlike JS Health’s vegan-friendly version, these contain fish products, a key ingredient in their AminoMar C formula.
For best results, it is recommended to take two tablets daily for three to six months, but the wait time seems worth it. Several reviewers have dedicated years to this supplement and swear by it for better hair.
What Reviewers Say:
“Excellent product, have been taking it for 3 months and the difference to my hair is unbelievable. Lots of new hair growth and my natural colour is returning, Everyone is complimenting me on how lovely my hair looks.” – LINDAFIND
Hum, Hair Sweet Hair Gummies
Not only do these supplements come in a delightful gummy form, but they’re also jam-packed with hair promoting ingredients. These vegan gummies taste like candy and contain biotin and folic acid to strengthen your locks while supporting future growth.
These supplements are especially great for anyone who feels a little bit uneasy about popping pills. The gummies make it easy, and Hum is extremely transparent, so you can rest assured that there are no funky additives. “We formulate with clinically proven nutrients and source with great care,” the brand’s website states. “Every ingredient is meticulously tested to ensure that all of our supplements are pure, potent and effective.”
What Reviewers Say:
“This really WORKS! Due to poor diet, stress, and unbalanced hormones…I was losing LOTS of hair daily and I started seeing a lot of grey hairs. It was really concerning me. After taking Hair Sweet Hair for 3 months now, I’m barely shedding any hair and I noticed so many new growths. Thankfully the new growth isn’t grey hairs! My hair feels fuller and looks so much better!” – Minh
Vital Proteins, Hair Boost
If you’re on Instagram, you’ve probably heard of the wildly popular new-age supplement brand, Vital Proteins. Always ahead of the curve, it’s no surprise that Vital Proteins’ Hair Boost formula is among the best out there.
The plant-based capsules contain a wide array of good-for-hair vitamins including A, B6, B12, C & E. On top of that, the capsules pack a biotin punch, which means extra support for your hair, skin, and nails. Added organic Ashwagandha also helps to fight fatigue and stress, which can take a toll on hair growth. If you’re looking for something to provide an overall beauty boost, these supplements are a great choice.
What Reviewers Say:
“I have been using this for a couple of months now and it definitely works. Not only has my hair grown, I have noticed it feels thicker and falls out less. I’m not sure but it could also be contributing to the fact that I haven’t gotten any big pimples like I normally do. I will not stop using.” – Sami
AÉDE, Hair Activist
If you’re a sucker for aesthetic packaging, you’re going to love these supplements. But it’s not all about the looks! Beyond the beautiful bottle, AÉDE’s special formula is “designed to support natural, healthy hair growth, boost collagen production and reduce free radical damage.”
With key ingredients including marine cartilage, biotin and selenium, it’s clear that these capsules were formulated with the best beauty intentions in mind. AÉDE is also an Australian-owned brand, perfect if you’re looking to support local businesses.
What Reviewers Say:
“Definitely can see the difference in my hair from 6 months of using Aéde. I had terrible damage from dying my hair platinum blonde and adding long extensions, but these supplements have helped to restore it to former glory! It is shiny, longer and thicker than it has been in years. Can’t believe the transformation!” – Alexandra S.
Grown Alchemist, Hair Complex
Grown Alchemist is another local beauty brand that has achieved greatness when it comes to hair supplements. A favourite amongst celebrities, this Melbourne-based clean beauty brand is changing the game.
These Hair Complex supplements are no exception to the Grown Alchemist’s consistently impressive offerings. Containing biotin, silica and riboflavin, these capsules are “formulated to support the body’s tissue repair process and provide the building block for healthy hair growth and repair.”
What Reviewers Say:
“I bought this product few weeks ago and I have been using it for about 20 days now (every day). I can see already my hair is growing much faster and it looks so much healthier. I am about to buy this product for the second, I really recommend it if you are looking for a product to help your hair to be healthy.” – biancaG87
