Quick read

Hair loss explained

Hormones and nutrient deficiencies are the most common causes of hair loss. Deficiencies in nutrients such as Iron, B Vitamins and protein can also contribute towards hair thinning.

Ageing can contribute to hair loss due to reduced blood flow, and an increase in the hormone called DHT (dihydrotestosterone), amongst other factors. Post-menopausal women are also at risk of hair loss due to hormone fluctuations.

To learn more about hair loss and how to support your hair through your diet, we recommend reading 'Advice for hair loss, from an expert nutritionist'.

How to take it?

  1. Take 2 capsules each day

    Take two capsules daily, morning or evening, with or without food.

  2. Take consistently

    Hair grows in months rather than weeks. Take Hair Saviour® every day for at least two months, and three months for new growth.

  3. Adjust when needed

    Both capsules can be taken together or split across the day.

How it works?

Hair Saviour® is a formula of 14 botanicals, minerals and vitamins for hair growth, strength and thickness, designed for women and men. It contains evidence-based doses of clinically-backed ingredients including AnaGain™, MSM, saw palmetto, silica and biotin.

In our study of customers taking it daily for two months or more, 79% rated Hair Saviour® effective and 87% noticed an improvement in at least one area of their hair, most often strength and condition.

Working with your hair cycle

Every hair on your head is in one of three phases at any moment: actively growing, transitioning, or resting before it sheds. A healthy scalp has most follicles growing and only a small share resting, and hair thinning is usually that balance tipping the wrong way.

This is why Hair Saviour® takes time. It does not change hair that has already entered its resting phase, so what you feel first is stronger, better-conditioned hair from the follicles still growing, and new growth later. Half of users first noticed a difference between four and eight weeks, and just over a quarter needed eight weeks or more.

Hair growth and hair follicles

Your hair is fed by blood vessels at the base of each follicle, and everything your hair is built from arrives that way.

AnaGain™ is a clinically studied extract of organic pea sprouts and the lead active in Hair Saviour®. In one study among people with hair loss, AnaGain™ reduced daily shedding by around a third within four weeks. Saw palmetto works by acting on the enzyme that converts testosterone into DHT, the hormone behind pattern hair loss in both women and men. In a 16-week trial of adults with thinning hair, saw palmetto reduced shedding by almost a third.

New hair growth is reported by more than half of users taking Hair Saviour®, which is notable because it is the slowest of all hair outcomes to appear.

Strength, structure and keratin

Hair is made almost entirely of keratin, a protein held together by bonds that rely on sulphur. Weak, brittle hair that snaps mid-length is usually a structural problem, and Hair Saviour® fixes this.

MSM is a natural source of sulphur, provided here at 400mg. In a four-month study of women taking MSM daily, hair shine and volume both improved. Biotin supports the maintenance of healthy hair, and silica from bamboo, horsetail and alfalfa supplies silicon, a mineral found naturally in hair and nails.

Hair strength was the single most improved area in our study, reported by more than two thirds of users.

Shedding, iron and your thyroid

Two of the most common causes of hair shedding have nothing to do with your scalp, and both are easily missed.

Low iron is the first. Iron carries oxygen around your body, and hair follicles are among the most metabolically demanding tissues you have. Hair Saviour® provides iron as bisglycinate, a gentle and highly-absorbed form. Your thyroid is the second. It sets the pace of your metabolism, thyroid changes are a common cause of thinning, and the iodine from kelp is what your thyroid needs to make its hormones.

If you know your iron is low, we recommend Gentle Iron & Vitamin C alongside Hair Saviour®.

Condition, shine and colour

Hair condition is what you notice in the mirror before anything else: how it catches the light, how it feels, how it sits.

Silica helps remineralise the hair shaft, and alfalfa is rich in antioxidant plant compounds that protect the cells your hair grows from. Copper maintains your natural hair pigmentation and the connective tissue underneath, and folate drives the rapid cell division that growing hair depends on.

Hair condition was the second most improved area in our study, and it appeared in every combination of results that crossed 80%.

Absorbing nutrients for hair

Hair Saviour® includes black pepper and cayenne pepper extract. Piperine from black pepper increases the absorption of other nutrients, and capsaicin, the active compound in cayenne, has been studied for hair growth in its own right: in a five-month study, capsaicin with soy isoflavones improved hair growth in two thirds of participants.

Skin and nails

Your skin and nails use almost everything your hair is built from, which is why people taking Hair Saviour® often notice their nails first.

Zinc supports the constant cell renewal that skin and nails depend on, silica contributes to their structure, and MSM supplies sulphur to the same keratin that nails are made from.

For building collagen and healthy skin, we recommend Skin Saviour® alongside Hair Saviour®.

The evidence behind DRV+

Hair Health

Stronger, healthier hair with consistent use

Hair Saviour® is a comprehensive blend of clinically studied vitamins, minerals and botanicals, formulated to support hair strength, growth, condition and thickness - for those who commit to consistent daily use.

76 respondents (from 194 surveyed) 2024-2025 Cross-sectional customer survey
79% found it effective
87% saw improvement in 1+ area
55% would recommend it
Study Findings

We surveyed 76 customers who had taken Hair Saviour® daily for two months or more - long enough to reflect the hair-growth cycle - tracking strength, growth, condition and thickness.

The results?

78.9% rated Hair Saviour® effective. 86.8% noticed improvement in at least one area - most often hair strength (68.4%) and condition (60.5%) - and 54.7% reported new hair growth. Notably, not one person who saw a physical hair improvement rated the product 'not at all effective'.

What This Means

Strength and condition first

68.4% saw stronger hair and 60.5% better condition.

The two most consistently reported improvements across users.

New growth is achievable

54.7% reported new hair growth.

A meaningful result, since new growth is the slowest hair benefit to appear.

Consistency is everything

Most users saw results between 4 and 8 weeks - some longer.

Hair works to its own cycle, so daily use for at least 2-3 months gives it the best chance.

The questions people
actually have!

Can I take Hair Saviour® hair supplements for thinning hair?

Yes. Hair Saviour® is a unique formula of botanicals, minerals and vitamins to fuel healthy hair growth and strong, thick hair. Key nutrients in Hair Saviour® help to decrease signs of deficiencies that may otherwise contribute to hair loss or thinning.

Clinical studies into AnaGain™, one of the key ingredients in Hair Saviour®, show the ratio of healthy, active hair follicles to degenerating ones leads to a 78% increase in the propensity for hair growth in a three-month period.

When will I notice a difference to my hair?

Hair Saviour® is our advanced formula of clinically proven actives, including AnaGain™, to rejuvenate and fuel normal hair growth, and for lustrous, strong hair. Take your two Hair Saviour® capsules each day for optimal results, with or without food, at a time of day that suits you.

If you're suffering from hair thinning, within 4 weeks of taking Hair Saviour® you may begin to see a reduction in hair loss and hair thinning by up to a third.

Within 6-8 weeks - and for some people, it can be a lot sooner than this - new hair growth may start to be noticeable.

After 12 weeks of taking Hair Saviour®, your hair may appear thicker, fuller, smoother and glossier. Your skin and nails may also feel and look healthier.

What is AnaGain™

AnaGain™ is a clinically studied ingredient sourced from pea sprouts, which have phytonutrients in abundance. These phytonutrients in AnaGain™ have been clinically proven to support hair growth and fuller, thicker hair.

A clinical trial of AnaGain™ showed the ratio of healthy, active hair follicles to degenerating follicles is improved, and this improvement equates to a 78% in propensity for hair growth over a three-month period.

Are hair growth supplements safe?

Hair supplements are generally safe. Supplements are heavily regulated in the UK and EU. As with all supplements, if you are taking any medications, you should ask a qualified health professional as to the suitability of hair supplements.

How do hair supplements work?

There are several nutrients in Hair Saviour® that are proven to support healthy hair.

  • Biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and is needed for the growth of skin cells.
  • Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and is needed for the creation of new hair cells.
  • Copper contributes to normal hair pigmentation and is often used by those with premature greying.
  • Iodine contributes to the normal production of thyroid hormones and normal thyroid function. The thyroid controls the metabolism and the rate of hair growth.
  • AnaGain™ is a trademarked ingredient for hair growth, made from pea sprouts, and is proven in clinical trials to increase the propensity of hair growth.

Are hair supplements effective?

Yes, hair supplements can support hair growth and hair thickness, reduce hair thinning and hair loss, and reduce premature greying.

What happens when you stop taking hair growth supplements?

The effects of stopping hair growth supplements vary from person to person. Some people may see a slowing down of hair growth, and for some people, the effects may be longer lasting.

Does biotin help hair growth?

Insufficient quantities of Biotin can cause brittle hair and may lead to hair loss. Biotin also contributes to the maintenance of normal hair through the production of 'Keratin' which is a protein in the cells on the surface of our skin which is needed for our fingernails, hair and skin. Through producing Keratin, Biotin can promote hair strength and maintain the viability of the hair follicles. Biotin is a key ingredient in Hair Saviour®, formulated to fuel healthy, strong hair.

Is AnaGain™ good for hair?

AnaGain™, sourced from pea sprouts which are rich in phytonutrients, is clinically shown to rebalance the hair life cycle, increasing the propensity for hair growth, and supporting hair growth and fuller, thicker hair.

Does saw palmetto help with hair loss?

Saw palmetto has been studied for its role in helping regulate hormones, supporting hair health, and men's health.

Does silica help hair growth?

Silica is most often associated with the maintenance of healthy hair, skin and nails. It helps to promote hair strength and thickness as well as reduce hair thinning.

Does MSM help with hair growth and help hair thinning?

MSM is a natural source of sulphur which is needed for strong and flexible hair through its role in the formation of amino acids that provide hair with moisture and strength.

Can MSM cause hair loss?

No, MSM does not cause hair loss. MSM is a sulphur-containing compound. Sulphur is needed for the normal growth of hair. Those that do not have enough sulphur in their diet will normally see an improved rate of growth and healthier hair with MSM supplementation.

What are the benefits of biotin for hair?

Biotin is needed for keratin production, a protein that forms the structural foundation of hair. Biotin strengthens the shaft of the hair, reducing hair thinning, and promoting faster hair
growth.
