FAQs
What are vitamins for hair?
Vitamins for hair are dietary supplements containing specific nutrients associated with hair health, including biotin, selenium, and zinc. These products are formulated to provide these vitamins and minerals in measured amounts, typically in tablet, capsule, or gummy format.
They're designed to complement a balanced diet by delivering targeted nutrients. Biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal hair,1 whilst selenium and zinc also contribute to the maintenance of normal hair.2,3 Many formulations combine these with additional vitamins like vitamin C or E for broader nutritional support.
What's the difference between hair vitamin tablets and gummies?
The main difference is format and taste. Tablets are typically smaller, unflavoured, and contain higher concentrations of active ingredients per dose. They're efficient and straightforward, making them popular with people who take multiple supplements daily.
Gummies offer a chewable, flavoured alternative that many find easier and more enjoyable to take. They're particularly useful if you struggle with swallowing tablets. However, they may contain additional ingredients like sweeteners and typically require a larger serving size to deliver the same nutrient levels as concentrated tablets.
Which vitamins are best for hair?
Biotin is the most commonly associated vitamin for hair because it contributes to the maintenance of normal hair.1 Selenium and zinc also contribute to the maintenance of normal hair,2,3 making them popular inclusions in hair-focused supplements.
Beyond these three, vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation,7 which is relevant for skin structure, and vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.8 The ”best” option depends on your current diet and what nutrients you're already getting from food. A broad-spectrum approach typically includes biotin alongside supporting vitamins and minerals.
How do I choose the right hair growth vitamins?
Start by checking the nutrient profile. Look for products containing biotin, selenium, and zinc, as these contribute to the maintenance of normal hair.1,2,3 Check the amounts per serving against your dietary needs and consider what you're already getting from food.
Next, consider format. If you're already taking several supplements, tablets might be most convenient. If you struggle with pills, gummies offer an easier alternative. Finally, check for any additional ingredients or certifications that matter to you, such as vegan formulations or third-party testing.
When should I take hair vitamins?
Most people take hair vitamins once daily with a meal, typically breakfast or lunch. Taking them with food can help with absorption and reduces the chance of stomach discomfort. The specific time matters less than consistency, so choose a moment that fits naturally into your existing routine.
Many users keep their vitamins next to their morning coffee or water bottle as a visual reminder. If you're taking multiple supplements, you might space them throughout the day, but hair vitamins are generally designed for single daily dosing. Check the product label for specific guidance on your chosen supplement.
Can I take hair vitamins alongside other supplements?
Generally yes, but it's important to check for overlapping nutrients to avoid exceeding recommended amounts. If you're already taking a multivitamin, for example, adding a hair supplement might mean you're getting double doses of biotin, selenium, or zinc.
Review the labels of all your supplements to total up your daily intake of each nutrient. Compare these totals against established upper limits. If you're taking multiple products or have specific health considerations, consulting a healthcare professional before combining supplements is sensible.
Are Myprotein's hair vitamins suitable for vegetarians and vegans?

Check the product page for each item for dietary information and certifications. Products suitable for vegans will be clearly marked. If you follow a plant-based diet, you'll find several options designed specifically for your needs, delivering the same key nutrients in vegan-appropriate formats.

What's the difference between biotin tablets and a hair vitamin complex?
Biotin tablets deliver a single nutrient in a straightforward, concentrated format. They're ideal if you specifically want to increase your biotin intake and are already getting adequate amounts of other nutrients from your diet or other supplements.
A hair vitamin complex combines biotin with complementary nutrients like selenium, zinc, and often vitamins C and E. These multi-ingredient formulations offer broader nutritional support in one product. They're convenient if you prefer taking fewer individual supplements and want the synergistic benefits of multiple nutrients that all contribute to normal hair maintenance.
How long does a typical supply of hair vitamins last?
Most hair vitamin products are packaged as 30-day or 60-day supplies, based on the recommended daily serving size. Tablets and capsules typically come in bottles of 30, 60, or 90, designed for one tablet per day.
Gummies often require a higher serving size (usually 2-3 gummies daily) to deliver the same nutrient levels as tablets, so a 60-count bottle might provide a 20-30 day supply. Always check the serving size on the label to calculate how long a product will last based on the recommended daily intake.
