Hairpexin is sold as a capsule for stronger hair growth. What’s in the formula, what the ingredients can actually claim to do – and when you’d be better off with something else.
The formula is a classic hair vitamin blend. Biotin, zinc and selenium contribute to the maintenance of normal hair, and copper to normal hair pigmentation. Those are the permitted claims – and they apply mainly if you’re short of these nutrients. A genuine biotin deficiency is rare; more on this in biotin for hair loss.
Hair loss has many causes: genetics, hormones, stress, iron deficiency, the thyroid. A vitamin capsule only helps with some of them. If you’re unsure, have a blood test before buying capsules – see causes of hair loss.
Take the capsules as recommended on the pack with plenty of water, and don’t exceed the daily dose. Don’t combine Hairpexin with other supplements containing the same vitamins. High-dose biotin can distort lab results – mention it before having blood taken.
Works on the scalp
A serum that goes on the scalp in the evening and works overnight – with AnaGain™ and Procapil™, without minoxidil or hormones, for women and men. Our recommendation for gradually thinning hair.

Easy-to-find hair vitamins
Biotin, zinc, selenium and millet in vegan capsules. A similar formula that’s easier to get hold of – worthwhile if you have a confirmed deficiency.

Capsules with a study
Millet extract, pantothenic acid and L-cystine; three capsules a day for twelve weeks. The manufacturer cites a placebo-controlled study. Intended for women.

Keep in mind
If your hair loss is due to a lack of biotin, zinc or selenium, the capsules can help. With hereditary hair loss, there’s little to expect from vitamins alone.
Hairpexin has become hard to find in German shops. Before buying, check that it’s the genuine product – or choose a widely available alternative such as Cosphera.
At least three months, because hair grows slowly. If nothing has changed by then, the cause is probably not a nutrient deficiency.
We are hairdressers, not doctors. Information from the brand, as of October 2026. Food supplements are no substitute for a balanced diet. If you experience heavy or sudden hair loss, please have the cause checked by a doctor.
