Best hair supplements: MPS supplements shown to significantly stimulate hair growth
To some extent, researchers are still groping in the dark when it comes to hair loss because the complex processes that underpin it are yet to be fully understood. The interaction of lifestyle and genetics plays a prominent role but finding ways to interrupt this process is a work in progress. Studies suggest taking certain supplements can yield results, however.
Evidence suggests taking a particular marine protein supplement (MPS) can promote hair growth in affected areas.
MPS are derived from sustainable marine sources and this particular supplement also contains biotin – a water-soluble vitamin that’s a part of the vitamin B family.
In the study, published in the journal Dermatology Research and Practice, women with thinning hair were given an oral MPS containing biotin or a placebo pill twice per day for 90 days.
At the beginning and end of the study, digital images were taken of the affected areas on the scalp.

Other hair loss treatments
There are things you can try if your hair loss is causing you distress. But most treatments aren’t available on the NHS, so you’ll have to pay for them.
Finasteride and minoxidil are the main treatments for male pattern baldness.
Male pattern baldness is a permanent type of hair loss that usually runs in the family.
“Minoxidil can also be used to treat female pattern baldness. Women shouldn’t use finasteride,” warns the NHS.
Some of the above treatments may not be available on the NHS.
There is another important factor to consider while weighing up your options – your mental health.
Losing hair can be upsetting – for many people, hair is an important part of who they are.
“If your hair loss is causing you distress, your GP may be able to help you get some counselling,” advises the NHS.
It adds: “You may also benefit from joining a support group, or speaking to other people in the same situation on online forums.”
