Possible Side Effects

• Upset stomach (taking Hair Force One with food may help)
• Nausea
• Constipation or diarrhea
• Temporary darkening of stools, which is associated with iron

Warnings & Precautions

• Caution in taking with supplements or multivitamins that may also contain iron, zinc, biotin, or B vitamins.
• Biotin can impact some blood tests, including thyroid testing. Tell your doctor that you are taking a biotin product and discuss possibly stopping the product prior to obtaining labs.
• Zinc can potentially lower copper levels in the body with consistent use.
• Some vitamins and minerals can interact with other medications. It is best to separate Hair Force One from other medications.
• Caution in patients with kidney or liver impairment.

Drug Interactions

• Tetracycline and quinolone antibiotics: Zinc and iron can bind to these medicines in the gut and lower how much the body absorbs.^10,11
• Thyroid hormone medicines (such as levothyroxine): Iron can lower absorption, and biotin can interfere with thyroid blood tests.^10,12
• Levodopa (used for Parkinson’s disease): Iron can lower how much levodopa the body absorbs.¹⁰
• Acid-reducing medicines (such as proton pump inhibitors and antacids): These may lower iron absorption.¹⁰

B vitamins (such as biotin, methylcobalamin and niacinamide) all play different unique roles in maintaining hair health. Biotin helps support the formation of keratin, the key structural protein that makes up hair. Research suggests a deficiency may be associated with changes in hair density. Methylcobalamin (B12) helps fuel the energy needed inside each hair follicle cell and helps maintain healthy hair growth cycles. Niacinamide may also foster hair health and promote natural hair growth by aiding blood flow to the scalp.^1,2,3,4

Zinc is essential for supporting hair tissue growth and recovery, and helps keep the oil glands around each follicle working properly. When zinc levels drop, the protein structure of the hair follicle can break down, which may lead to shedding and changes in hair density. Literature has described how adequate zinc status may play a role in supporting the integrity of hair. ^5,6,11

Iron is needed to make hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body and to the hair follicles. Without adequate oxygen delivery, follicles may not maintain healthy function.^7,8,10

Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) plays two important roles in maintaining hair health. It’s a required cofactor for the enzymes that build collagen (which may support the hair shaft structure and help manage breakage) and may function as a meaningful antioxidant that may help shield hair follicles from oxidative damage that may cause hair concerns.⁹

Q: How long until I see potential outcomes?

A: Individual responses vary widely. Literature suggests that observations related to hair growth cycles may be noted within approximately 3 months of consistent use, with potential benefits noted in timeframes referenced in clinical literature.^1,2

Q: Can I stop once I see progress?

A: Continued use is generally required to maintain potential outcomes. Discontinuing usage may lead to a return to your previous hair density.

Q: Can I take this product with other supplements?

A: Because over-the-counter products and supplements may contain duplicate active minerals or vitamins, always consult your prescribing healthcare practitioner to review concurrent regimens and avoid excessive intake.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT COMPOUNDED MEDICATIONS

This medication has been compounded (custom-prepared) by a pharmacy. Compounded medications are specially prepared for individual patient needs based on a valid prescription from a prescribing healthcare practitioner and, as such, are not reviewed or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for safety or efficacy.

This compounded preparation:

• Has not been approved by the FDA
• Has not undergone FDA review for safety, effectiveness, or quality
• Is prepared specifically for you based on your prescriber's order
• Individual outcomes may vary

Dosing is determined by the prescribing provider based on patient-specific factors. Always follow your healthcare provider's instructions. Compounded medications are not subject to FDA approval and lack the same safety and efficacy data as FDA-approved commercial medications. This medication should be prescribed and monitored by a licensed healthcare professional familiar with the condition being addressed and the specific applications of the medication.
