Episode Description
Can hair growth gummies, biotin, collagen, rosemary oil, and DHT blockers actually prove they work—or are you wasting money on underdosed formulas with zero human evidence while your hair continues thinning?
Dr. Christian Gonzalez investigated the hair loss supplement industry with one critical question: which supplements have randomized controlled trials showing measurable improvements in hair density and shedding reduction—not just theoretical mechanisms and marketing logic?
The shocking reality? Most hair supplements fail because they assume hair loss is about "feeding the hair" when it's really about removing the signals that tell follicles to shut down and shift from growth phase into shedding.
In this episode, Dr. Christian Gonzalez reveals:
• The 5 supplements with actual human evidence for hair growth—ranked by evidence scores (7-8 out of 10)
• Why Viviscal's proprietary marine protein complex (Amomar) has the strongest data but isn't the cleanest formulation
• How cold-pressed pumpkin seed oil inhibits 5-alpha reductase and reduces DHT without crashing hormones systemically
• The lipid sterol extract of saw palmetto that works—and why whole berry powder doesn't
• How curcumin phytosome (Meriva, BCM-95) addresses chronic inflammation in the scalp environment
• Why mixed tocotrienols protect follicles from oxidative stress better than standard vitamin E
• Exact evidence-based doses, realistic timelines (3-6 months minimum), and specific brands Dr. G trusts
