Hair Supplement Safety Checklist Before You Start
Quick answer: Before taking any hair supplement, check the full ingredient list for allergies, tell your doctor or pharmacist about medicines and conditions, avoid starting during pregnancy or breastfeeding without advice, buy only genuine sealed stock and follow the label dose. A supplement is not a cure for hair loss.
The checklist
1) Ingredients and allergies. 2) Other medicines and conditions. 3) Pregnancy or breastfeeding. 4) Genuine, sealed stock. 5) Label dose, not more.
Example: Folli-Activ
Folli-Activ lists its ten ingredients openly on its official site, which makes the first step easier. Read the list with your pharmacist if you are unsure.
