Folisin review
A 13 ingredient hair loss tablet for men, aimed at the scalp as much as the hair itself

Is it worth it?
Folisin is the tablet in the same seller's hair range, sitting alongside a shampoo and a women's version. It is aimed at men, and the pitch is that it works on the condition of the scalp so new hair has somewhere decent to grow from. The ingredient list is the most interesting thing about it. Saw palmetto and nettle root both appear in the research literature on hair loss because of a proposed effect on DHT, the hormone behind male pattern baldness. That is a more specific idea than simply stacking vitamins, and it is the one part of this product with a plausible story behind it. The evidence is thin, mostly small studies, and nothing like the weight behind finasteride, which targets the same pathway and is a licensed medicine. Thirteen ingredients in one tablet does mean each one is present in a modest amount. The page does not show a trial of the finished formula, and the claims about preventing loss and promoting growth are presented as established rather than as the hope they are. Treat it as a reasonable thing to try, not as a reason to delay asking someone qualified what is actually happening to your hair.
Pros
- Saw palmetto and nettle root have a real proposed mechanism for male hair loss, not an invented one
- All thirteen ingredients are listed with doses
- One tablet a day, nothing to apply or wash out
- Aimed specifically at men rather than sold as a general hair product
Cons
- Thirteen ingredients in one tablet means each is present in a small amount
- No study of the finished formula, only the ingredient research
- The evidence behind saw palmetto for hair is limited and much weaker than for the licensed drugs
- Prevents hair loss is stated as fact on the page when it is a claim

What you get
Bottles of a tablet supplement with thirteen listed ingredients, including saw palmetto, nettle root, horsetail, zinc, selenium, biotin and B vitamins, taken daily. A food supplement rather than a medicine.
Before you buy
- Saw palmetto affects hormones, so mention it to your doctor if you take anything hormonal or have a prostate condition
- If it is male pattern baldness, ask about finasteride and minoxidil first, since they target the same thing with far better evidence
- Give it three months before judging, because that is how long the hair cycle takes
- Check the selenium against anything else you take, as it is easy to exceed the safe level
Who it suits
Men with early stage pattern hair loss who want to try a supplement with a specific mechanism behind it, having already ruled out other causes
