BAD TASTE, GREAT HAIR: THE SECRET BEHIND FOLLICLE FOOD'S POWERFUL INGREDIENTS

Let’s face it – sometimes the best things in life don’t taste like a five-star dessert. Enter FOLLICLE FOOD, our powerhouse supplement that’s here to make your hair dreams come true. Yes, it might not win a taste contest, but trust us, if it tastes bad, it’s doing good!

Why? Because Follicle Food is packed with hair-loving ingredients that work hard to give you luscious, healthy locks. Let’s dive into the science behind the magic, including how it tackles DHT (the sneaky culprit behind hair loss), and why your taste buds might need to take one for the team.

Hair-Loving Ingredients in Follicle Food

Biotin (Vitamin B7):

The ultimate hair hero. Biotin strengthens your strands, promotes growth, and keeps your hair thick and shiny.  

Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, and Vitamin B6:

These B vitamins are essential for hair growth, scalp health, and reducing hair loss. They work behind the scenes to nourish your follicles and keep your hair looking its best.  

Zinc and Iron:

These minerals are key players in maintaining a healthy scalp and preventing hair thinning. Zinc helps repair damaged follicles, while iron ensures your hair gets the oxygen it needs.  

Amino Acids (like Alanine, Arginine, and Lysine):

These are the building blocks of keratin, the protein that makes up your hair. They strengthen and repair hair from the inside out.  

Collagen Boosters:

Ingredients like Millet Extract and Equisetum Extract promote collagen production, which is essential for strong, elastic hair.  

Bamboo Extract and Aloe Vera Extract:

These botanicals are rich in silica and antioxidants, which support strong, shiny hair and protect it from environmental damage.  

Plant Extracts that Inhibit DHT:

DHT is a hormone that shrinks hair follicles and leads to hair loss. Follicle Food includes powerful plant-based ingredients like Stinging Nettle Extract and Saw Palmetto (found in some formulations) that naturally inhibit DHT production, helping to prevent hair thinning and promote regrowth.

Why the Bad Taste is Good News!

Here’s the thing: when it comes to supplements like Follicle Food, the potent, natural ingredients that deliver real results aren’t always the most palatable. But that’s a good sign! It means you’re getting the real deal—no artificial flavors, no unnecessary fillers, just pure, hardworking nutrients.  

Think of it like this: the worse it tastes, the better it works. Your taste buds might protest, but your hair will be doing a happy dance.  

How to Make It More Palatable

  • Not a fan of the flavour? No worries! Here are a few tips to make Follicle Food go down easier:  
  • Mix it up: Blend it into a smoothie or juice to mask the taste.  
  • Chase it: Follow it with a sip of your favourite drink.  
  • Mind over matter: Focus on the hair goals and power through!
