Four months in. My parting is narrower. I can feel the new growth along my temples when I pull my hair back — little soft hairs, the kind I haven't had since my 40s. Thank you for leaving the biotin out.
I stopped counting the hairs in the drain about six weeks in. That was the first thing. The narrower part came later.
What women are saying after 90 days
I was skeptical — I've tried Nutrafol, Viviscal, Rogaine, minoxidil pills, rosemary oil, the red-light comb. On my second bottle the shedding has slowed enough that I noticed. That's saying something.
I have Hashimoto's and take Armour. Every other hair supplement I've tried either has biotin that throws off my labs or iodine that flares me. This has neither. Finally — someone built a product for women like us.
Taste is fine — slightly sweet, slightly earthy, not candy. I take them with my coffee. After two months I'm seeing less hair on my pillow in the morning. I'll stay on it.
I needed to hear "this is formulated for you." Not for a 30-year-old with shiny Instagram hair. For a 63-year-old woman on Synthroid whose hair has been thinning since her diagnosis in 2009. Foliara gets it.
I noticed the regrowth before my husband did. Baby hairs at the hairline. My stylist pointed them out before I mentioned anything. Five months in and I'm growing my hair out for the first time in a decade.
Not a miracle. A steady improvement — which is actually what I wanted. Three bottles in, my ponytail feels thicker in my hand. I'll take steady over dramatic every time.
I'd resigned myself to keeping my hair short forever. I'm growing it out again. It's been five months. My hairdresser told me to keep doing whatever I'm doing.
Four quiet reasons your hair has been thinning — and what Foliara does about each.
You've been told it's "just menopause" or "just stress." The truth is your follicles have been fighting a stack of issues. Here is how Foliara addresses each one.
Pumpkin seed oil quietly blocks DHT.
The enzyme 5-alpha-reductase converts testosterone into DHT — the hormone that miniaturizes follicles. PSO inhibits it. Not dramatically. Steadily. Which is what thinning follicles need to rebuild.
Your hair loss is a thyroid story.
Hypothyroidism pushes follicles into resting phase early and too many at once. Hashimoto's adds inflammation. Perimenopause lowers estrogen. You've been fighting three things — Foliara was formulated for the whole stack.
Results arrive in the order follicles rebuild.
Weeks 4–6: noticeably less shedding. Weeks 8–12: baby hairs along the part and temples. Weeks 16–24: visible density, thicker ponytail, narrower part. We recommend 90 days minimum — the clinical study ran 24 weeks.
No biotin. No iodine. No interference.
Biotin skews your TSH and free T4 labs and causes a rebound shed. Iodine can flare Hashimoto's. Most "hair" and "thyroid" supplements have both. Foliara doesn't — one ingredient at the clinical dose, in a gummy.
What 90 days of a steady ritual looks like.
Real Foliara customers, photographed without filters, without flattering angles, without retouching. If the change isn't visible in ordinary bathroom light, we don't think it counts.
One functional ingredient. At the clinical dose. Everything else is just a gentle gummy.
Supplements for our age range are usually bloated with eight or nine actives — most untested, most interfering with something else you're taking. Foliara is the opposite: one hero ingredient, at the dose the research used, in a clean plant-based gummy base.
What's in each serving (2 gummies)
- Cold-pressed pumpkin seed oil
- Organic pectin
- Organic cane sugar
- Tapioca syrup
- Organic carrot juice
- Natural pumpkin flavor
- Citric acid, coconut oil
What's deliberately not in it
- No biotin — so your TSH labs stay accurate, and your hair doesn't rebound-shed when you stop
- No iodine — Hashimoto's-safe
- No zinc, selenium, or "thyroid blend" minerals
- No gelatin — plant-based (vegan)
- No synthetic flavors, colors, or sweeteners
- No dairy, soy, wheat, gluten, tree nuts, or eggs
Suggested use: Two gummies once daily, with or without food. Best in the morning — at least one hour after your thyroid medication to preserve the absorption window.
The first thing we tell every woman who finds us:
plan for ninety days.
The clinical study that set our dose ran 24 weeks. Regrowth is slow and steady — not dramatic. The 3-bottle protocol is where most women begin seeing the change they were hoping for.
The careful kind of questions.
Will Foliara interfere with my thyroid medication?
I have Hashimoto's. Is this safe for autoimmune thyroid disease?
How is this different from biotin, Nutrafol, or Viviscal?
When should I expect to see results?
What dose am I getting?
Is it vegan?
Will it affect my hormones or my HRT?
I've tried everything. Why would this work?
What does it taste like?
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Is this a subscription?
We built Foliara because no one built it for us.
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's at 49. The fatigue I could manage. The weight I could work around. The hair — the hair I could not. I watched it leave me a little every morning, in the shower, on the pillow, in the brush, and my endocrinologist told me my TSH was "in range."
I spent three years and four thousand dollars on supplements before I realized the truth: the entire category was designed for a twenty-something with a protein deficiency. Not for me. Not for us.
Foliara is what I wish I'd had at 49. If your hair loss began with your diagnosis, it was written for you.
