Hair Radiance + Collagen
Bioglan
Overview
Bioglan Hair Radiance + Collagen provides a broad spectrum of vitamins and minerals, along with collagen and silicon, aimed at hair and skin health. While many ingredients are well-established for their roles in these areas, the dosages of some key ingredients, particularly collagen, are significantly lower than what is typically studied and found effective in clinical trials for achieving noticeable benefits.
The Good
Provides essential vitamins and minerals crucial for overall health and specific roles in hair and skin integrity.
Contains Biotin at a dose that has shown some efficacy for nail strength and is commonly used for hair health.
Silicon is included at a potentially beneficial dose for collagen synthesis and bone health.
The Bad
Hydrolysed Collagen is significantly underdosed (300mg vs. typical effective doses of 2.5g-10g), making its efficacy for skin and hair benefits questionable.
Biotin at 2.5mg can interfere with various lab tests, potentially leading to misdiagnosis.
Includes iron, which is not for treating iron deficiency and may be contraindicated for some individuals (e.g., those with hemochromatosis).
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals seeking to improve hair strength and growth, those looking for skin health support, people interested in collagen supplementation
Skip If: You have a known allergy to any ingredients, are pregnant or breastfeeding without medical advice, or are vegan/vegetarian.
