It’s a question we get asked frequently: Can pills stop hair loss and promote new hair growth? The supplement form of hair loss treatments seem to be the most intriguing for most of us. Many remain sceptical about topical treatments such as serums, shampoos, sprays and foams, so there seems to be a much higher regard for oral treatments.
Since Comb Over formed in 2012, we have been solely committed to bringing our readers honest and insightful articles and reviews on everything hair loss related. We’ve tried a fair few hair supplements over the past three years, and although some have demonstrated good results, others have been a complete waste of time.
