7 Best Hair Growth Gummies Tested in 2025, Approved by Experts

While there’s no magic wand to wave when you’re ready for your hair to be lengthier (unless, of course, you reach for some clip-in extensions), the best hair growth gummies can help.

“They provide a set of essential minerals and vitamins to support our natural fundamental building blocks for keratin, as well as scalp and strand health,” says Ava Shamban, MD, a board-certified dermatologist and the founder of Ava MD Beverly Hills/Santa Monica and Althaea Skin. Dr. Shamban recommends “zinc and iron, as well as various B’s [niacin, biotin, folate] C, D and E.” She adds that some natural botanicals can be helpful too, such as, “horsetail, saw palmetto, rosemary oil, pumpkin seed oil, Amla, aloe vera, peppermint, ginseng, nettles and gotu kola [ a.k.a. centella asiatica].”

To find hair growth gummies for your specific concerns, we consulted dermatologists and trichologists, and asked Glamour testers to report back on their results. We chose OMI Hair Growth Peptides Gummies as our best overall pick because of its patented hair growth peptide formula that signal existing follicles to grow longer, and encourages dormant ones to wake up again. Other gummies got our stamp of approval for supporting nail and skin health in addition to hair, and for providing extra support for women over 50.

Best Overall: OMI Hair Growth Peptides Gummies

OMI Hair Growth Peptides Gummies

This supplement prioritizes peptides which signal cells to behave in a certain way. In this case, OMI’s formula is designed to fortify the hair and promote healthier growth throughout its natural cycle, says Dr. Shamban. She stresses the brand’s unique focus on supporting collagen IV production, a type of protein that is essential for hair strength, to help anchor hair at the root, preventing it from breaking and shedding. “Anyone who has thin, damaged, easily broken hair or less than optimal growth can benefit,” says Dr. Shamban.

“The black currant berry-flavored gummies are pleasant and don’t leave a lingering taste, which I’ve experienced with other popular options. And since I began taking them about a month ago, I can tell that my hair feels healthier all around, including smoother and shinier with less shedding than usual when I brush,” says Glamour contributor Lisa DeSantis.

Best for Hair Thinning: MaryRuth’s Multivitamin + Hair Growth Gummies

MaryRuth’s Multivitamin + Hair Growth Gummies

This brand gets the stamp of approval from Mandy Buechner, a certified trichologist who specializes in hair loss. This Multivitamin + Hair Growth formulation taps Lustriva, a compound that combines biotin, silicon, arginine, and inositol, among other hair health-boosting ingredients, that’s specifically meant to address thinning and encourage thicker, fuller hair. A three-month study conducted in 2021 found that participants taking a Lustriva capsule experienced increased hair thickness along with a reduction in wrinkles.

“While I’m not typically a peach and mango fan—that’s the flavor of these gummies—I found that the combination made for a mild, tropical taste. Bonus: they’re sugar-free,” says DeSantis.

Vegamour GRO Biotin Gummies for Hair Wellness

Because natural hair tends to be drier, it’s more prone to breakage, which can prevent it from growing long and thick. This is especially true in color and heat-treated hair. To strengthen the scalp and the strands themselves and promote nourished hair from the root to the ends, Vegamour gummies are formulated with biotin, vitamins B5, B6, and B12, along with vitamins A, C, and E. “Protecting the scalp and hair follicles from oxidative damage keeps a healthy hair environment,” says Dr. Shamban.

Best for Women Over 50: Xtresse Hair Growth Gummies

Xtresse Hair Growth Gummies

Developed by leading dermatologists and hair restoration specialists, Xtresse gummies feature a unique ingredient profile including NAD+, pumpkinseed extract, taurine, and saw palmetto. “[These ingredients] nourish hair follicle health to impact on a more direct cellular level,” says Dr. Shamban. The inclusion of the popular longevity ingredient NAD+ speaks to how these gummies address hair growth at the cellular level, even stimulating dormant follicles, which can be especially helpful in terms of aging-related hair loss.

“These were definitely a bit gummier than most of the other gummies on the list, but the strawberry flavor wasn’t overpowering, and it didn’t leave a lingering taste in my mouth,” says DeSantis. Although Buechner hasn’t tried them for herself, she noted that “the ingredients look fantastic.”

Best for Men: Hims Biotin Builder Gummies

Hims Biotin Builder Gummies

The brand offers a prescription hair growth gummy along with a non-prescription option, and this is the latter. “Men can benefit from the same foundational nutrients that support hair structure and growth in women, including zinc, B vitamins, vitamin D, and collagen peptides (i.e., short protein fragments),” says Maciej Chichlowski, PhD, the senior director of nutrition research at supplement brand, Shaklee.

While treating true male pattern baldness will require targeted, prescription options, gummies are a great place to start if you’re looking to improve and encourage the health of the hair that you do have, and support a well-rounded hair growth regimen, should you implement more aggressive treatments. “It is essential to target the root cause first; potential deficiencies in iron, vitamin D, zinc, and overall protein intake might be the key,” says Dr. Chichlowski.

“These tasted the most candy-like to me and have a sweet cherry flavor, which makes sense because they actually worked with a confectioner (along with doctors) to get the gummy right,” says DeSantis.

Best Vegan & Gluten-Free: Grande Gummies

Grande Gummies

This vegan and gluten-free gummy is a great place to start in maintaining healthy hair, skin, and nails. The biotin, amino acids, vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin E in this supplement come together to boost collagen—an essential element of healthy hair growth that naturally diminishes as we age (it starts to deplete in our 20s, womp, womp).

“I personally noticed the biggest difference in my nails when taking these, but they also helped me see impressive brow growth (when used in tandem with their topical growth serum) after an unfortunate waxing incident. One thing to note, though, is that these do have 4 grams of sugar per serving, which is more than the other options on this list,” says DeSantis.

Best for Hair, Skin and Nail Health: Lemme Glow Gummies

Lemme Glow Gummies

While Lemme’s blend includes the biotin, zinc, collagen, and vitamins found in many other formulations, they also pack in a trace mineral complex and retinoic acid to contribute to a healthier complexion, immune system, and even vision.

“Trace minerals like zinc and iron are crucial for hair and immune function, and supplementing them when someone is deficient can improve hair and nail health,” says Dr. Chichlowski. With a slew of antioxidants, this formula also offers protection from free radicals, which is essential for maintaining a youthful glow, healthy complexion, and stronger hair and nails.

“Made with natural peach and no artificial sweeteners, these were the most subtly flavored among those I tested, which I really enjoyed,” says DeSantis.

Frequently asked questions

Do hair growth gummies actually work?

Well-formulated gummies can help create the “best conditional environment” for hair growth and health, says Dr. Shamban. However, data is limited, and hair concerns can be complex.

“Hair loss can be from many different factors (autoimmune, hormonal, etc) that should be evaluated by a dermatologist,” says plastic surgeon, Lauren Moy, MD. “Gummies can help if there are small vitamin deficiencies, but will usually not provide dramatic results.”

Still, gummies can help ensure you’re getting all the vitamins and minerals essential for hair health. “In that respect, it does help create healthier, stronger, more vital hair as it grows,” says Dr. Shamban.

Genetics and lifestyle factors—like maintaining a nutrient-rich diet and managing stress—also influence hair health, Azadeh Shirazi, MD, FAAD, a board-certified dermatologist, previously told Glamour.

TLDR; Hair loss is subjective and you’ll need to get to the root cause of hair loss to see results, but if you’re looking to simply improve the best environment for hair growth, gummies can help.

What’s better for hair growth, biotin or collagen?

Whether biotin or collagen is better for hair growth is a bit nuanced and can depend on several factors, says Dr. Shamban. “If hair loss is in some way primarily due to a biotin deficiency, obviously a biotin supplementation may be more effective,” she says. However, “if hair loss is related to more structural issues or aging, collagen may be a better option than biotin.” She adds that in some cases, “taking both biotin and collagen together may provide the best results for better hair growth.”

How long does it take hair growth gummies to work?

“Any supplement would take up to usually between 3-6 months of consistent usage for any results,” says Dr. Shamban. Buechner adds that hair tends to grow pretty slowly. “About ½ inch per month on average,” she says. “Most people need at least 2–3 months of consistent use to notice less shedding or healthier texture, with more visible changes (like thickness or length) taking closer to 3–6 months.” And everyone is different, so exact timing will vary from individual, says Dr. Moy. The most important thing is consistency, as Buechner noted—you’re not going to see drastic changes, which can be discouraging, but over time you should notice improvements.

Are there any negative effects of hair growth gummies?

There are a few disclaimers to consider when it comes to hair growth gummies. You should consult with a physician before adding any new supplements to your mix. “Too much of certain vitamins (like A, D, E, or selenium) may actually cause hair shedding or other health issues,” says Buechner. High doses of biotin can also interfere with certain lab tests, and you’ll want to be sure your supplement won’t interact with any other medications you may be taking.

Dietary supplements of all kinds are also not regulated by U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), so there’s no guarantee that they contain exactly what they claim, says Dr. Shamban. (Checking to make sure your supplement’s ingredients have been verified by a third party tester, such as USP or NSF can help.)

“Plus, [hair growth gummies] do have a limited shelf life and can degrade without the right stabilizers and fillers, so the potency and impact can lessen over time,” says Dr. Shamban. It’s also important to note that you shouldn’t be taking hair supplements while pregnant or breastfeeding unless otherwise cleared by your physician.
