54 out of 100

Hair Multivitamin may help with hair shedding linked to low biotin and may offer some support for brittle nails, although the evidence is limited. Its cost is harder to justify if collagen is your main reason for buying.

AI assessment of the formula, label and price. How scoring works

Nutrient Quality27

Several ingredient forms are unclear, limiting confidence in their quality. Copper oxide is a particular weakness because it is poorly available to the body.

Ingredient Transparency85

All ingredient amounts are stated, making the serving contents easy to check. Some forms remain unspecified, which makes quality comparisons less straightforward.

Value For Money35

The collagen, riboflavin and methionine offer poor value at the full serving cost. Biotin contributes more favorably, but the value of several other ingredients remains uncertain.

Customer Satisfaction79

Customer ratings are positive across a substantial number of reviews. They indicate satisfaction without showing whether hair or nails improve.

Product Focus65

The main purpose is supporting hair and nail health, with biotin most relevant when intake is low. Nail evidence is limited, and the small generic collagen amount does not match the preparation or amount used in the hair research.
