Hair loss & supplements: what really works?

Hair loss is something many of us face sooner or later in life. It can be hormonal, stress-related, genetic or simply an effect of nutritional deficiency. Whatever the cause, it’s a change that often affects more than just appearance – it can be felt in self-esteem too.

So what do you do? The first step many people take is to change their shampoo, or invest in serums and specialized scalp products. That’s not wrong – but it often misses the fundamental question: Does the body have what it needs to create new, strong hair?

This is where food supplements come in.

Hair loss starts from within and so does the solution

At Hairforce, we’ve been working with hair supplements since 2016. Our philosophy is simple: the body needs the right building blocks to create hair, skin and nails. And those building blocks need to come from within – through diet, or when diet isn’t enough, through a quality supplement.

Hairforce Professional is one such supplement, designed specifically to support the function of hair follicles, strengthen hair and prevent hair loss – while supporting skin, nails, joints and connective tissue.

What does a really good hair loss supplement contain?

When looking for a hair loss supplement, it’s easy to get caught up in marketing promises. What really matters is what the product contains – and in what forms and doses.

Here are some of the key topics in Hairforce – and why they play a role in hair loss:

MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane)

An organic sulphur compound that builds up the body’s tissues – including skin, hair and nails. MSM is needed for collagen and keratin production, and has been shown to improve hair growth and reduce scalp inflammation. Sulphur is also central to the body’s detoxification process, which is important if hormone imbalances are part of the problem.

Silicon from bamboo shoots

Silicon gives structure to collagen and elastin – strengthening hair from within. Research shows that silicon levels in skin and hair decrease with age, which can contribute to thinning hair. Silicon from bamboo is considered the most bioavailable form.

Biotin, B5 and the whole B complex

Biotin (B7) is known for its role in hair growth, but works best in combination with other B vitamins such as B5 (pantothenic acid), B6, B12, folate and others. These affect cell division in the hair follicles, hormone balance and detoxification in the liver – all factors linked to hair loss.

Zinc, selenium and iodine

These minerals are central to the functioning of both the thyroid and hair follicles. Zinc deficiency can interfere with keratin production, selenium has antioxidant effects that protect cells, and iodine is important for metabolism – which controls the speed of hair growth.

Herbal extracts: Rosemary & Salvia Sclarea

Rosemary has been shown in studies to stimulate microcirculation in the scalp, improving oxygen and nutrient delivery to hair follicles. Salvia Sclarea is of particular interest to women as it may contribute to hormonal balance – a common cause behind diffuse hair loss.

What Hairforce does not contain and why it is important

We have chosen not to include DHT blockers or hormone disruptors. This is not a drug – it’s a nutritional supplement that works with your body, not against it. Hairforce also does not contain iron, copper or vitamin A – substances where the wrong dose can do more harm than good. These should be taken separately if a deficiency is found.

How long does it take to see results?

The effect varies depending on the starting point, but our users often report:

• After 4-6 weeks: increased volume and less hair loss

• After 2-3 months: new growth, especially at temples and hairline

• After 6 months: visibly stronger, thicker hair with better structure

Results come gradually – it’s all about rebuilding the hair in depth. Patience is the key.

Hair loss can be influenced by many factors, and supplements can be a good solution. Read more about MSM and how it strengthens hairor find out how silicon can contribute to thicker and stronger hair.

Hair loss supplements that actually make a difference

Taking a supplement like Hairforce is not about conjuring up magical results overnight. It’s about giving your body the right conditions to create strong, healthy hair. Hair loss is often a sign that something is wrong – and the solution starts with listening to your body.
