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 My one stop shop for quality supplements: https://theswellscore.com/pages/drg Timestamps: 0:00 - Why Most Hair Supplements Fail (3 Critical Reasons) 2:26 - #1: Marine Protein Complex (Viviscal) for Hair Density 4:29 - Forms Matter: How to Buy Quality Marine Complex 6:30 - #2: Pumpkin Seed Oil for DHT Modulation 8:29 - Cold-Pressed vs Powder: Why Forms Matter for Androgens 10:05 - #3: Saw Palmetto Extract for Follicle Protection 12:46 - #4: Curcumin Phytosome for Scalp Inflammation 15:43 - #5: Tocotrienols (Vitamin E Complex) for Oxidative Stress 18:16 - Final Takeaways: Stop Wasting Money on Hair Loss Hype

0:00.0	Hair growth gummies, biotin, collagen, rosemary oil, dh-ht blockers. If you try those and your hair
0:06.9	is still thinning, this episode is for you. Most hair supplements fail for one of three reasons.
0:13.0	They do not match the biology of what's happening in your body for hair loss. They are underdose
0:18.9	or poorly formulated or there's no human evidence behind them.
0:23.2	I'm Dr. Christian Gonzalez, a licensed naturopathic doctor and psychosomatic practitioner,
0:27.4	and a big part of my work is reviewing research and clinical outcomes to figure out what actually
0:32.9	moves the needles when it comes to supplements. And today I'm ranking the top five supplements that actually show human evidence for
0:39.3	hair growth, for hair loss stabilization, based on randomized trials, biological plausibility,
0:46.0	want to make sure it works, and real dosing use in studies.
0:50.0	We're getting very practical.
0:51.0	We're talking about what each supplement actually does in the body, the evidence-based

0:59.2	contaminated formulas.
1:01.1	And yes, I'm going to tell you what brands I actually trust for each one.
1:05.6	Each supplement will get an evidence-based score, and we're going to talk about who it
1:09.2	helps, who it doesn't, realistic
1:11.5	timelines, and how to avoid wasting money on what's not working. I know the hair loss industry
1:16.4	is confusing. I'm going to clear it up for you. Let's get into it. Look, hair loss is not always
1:22.5	nutrient deficiency issues. It's not always a signaling problem between your hormones. Your hair follicles,
1:28.7	they cycle through growth, rest, and shedding. They are phases that they go through. And when the body
1:33.6	begins to sense stress, whether it's hormonal stress, inflammatory stress, metabolic stress,
1:38.3	even emotional stress, it shifts the follicles out of growth and into the shedding phase.
