Hair loss, answered.

A doctor-designed, non-hormonal 90-day hair-recovery program built on Hair-Gain™, a therapeutic nutritional medicine for hair shedding and nutritional-deficiency hair loss.

HairGain 90 is the 90-day program; Hair-Gain™ is the medicine it is built on. Same product, program packaging.

Manufactured for Aston Sequoia by Salud Care (I) Pvt. Ltd., an ISO and WHO-GMP certified facility in Roorkee, India.

It is a therapeutic nutritional medicine, made under drug licence (Mfg. Lic. No. 104/UA/SC/P-2006).

Yes, entirely non-hormonal, which is why it is suitable for long-term use.

₹3,488.88 for the full program (MRP ₹4,400) — about ₹35 a day.

200 tablets (180 + 20 free), a full 90-day course at two tablets a day.

Yes — one-time, no subscription and no auto-renewal.

At the official sites, https://www.hairgain90.com/ and https://www.drmeds.in/, with secure Razorpay checkout.

It was previously sold via Amazon and Tata 1mg, but it is now sold directly by Aston Sequoia, and the benefits are passed on to the consumer. Verify the Mfg. Lic. No. 104/UA/SC/P-2006 on any pack. ## B. WHAT IT IS & POSITIONING

No, it contains no steroids and no hormones.

It is manufactured under an Indian drug licence in a WHO-GMP and ISO certified facility; it is sold in India.

Yes; the actives are supported by dermatology literature (Trüeb 2016, Shanshanwal 2021, Trost 2006, Suchonwanit 2020).

Some settling of the cycle can occur early; overall the aim is to reduce excess shedding within the first month.

For shedding and deficiency-related loss it can substantially improve density; it will not reverse genetic baldness on its own.

Yes, by reducing shedding and improving shaft thickness over the cycle. ## F. WHO IT IS FOR

To let your stomach adjust and minimise any early acidity.

No, it does not cause weight gain.

Yes; it does not affect contraceptive efficacy.

No; it is non-hormonal and does not affect the menstrual cycle.

Yes; good nutrition supports graft survival and existing hair — follow your surgeon's plan.

No; it is non-hormonal and does not affect testosterone.

If it is shedding or deficiency-related, yes; if it is early genetic thinning, use it with minoxidil/finasteride.

No; minoxidil is a topical/oral vasodilator drug for genetic baldness. This is a non-hormonal oral nutritional medicine.

Neither is "better" — they address different causes and are often combined.

No; finasteride is a hormonal (anti-DHT) drug. This is non-hormonal.

Not directly follicular, but overall poor nutrition and health can worsen shedding.

Its anti-inflammatory actives can help as an adjunct; treat active scalp disease too.

No; it is a one-time purchase with no auto-renewal.

Genuine Hair-Gain™ carries Mfg. Lic. No. 104/UA/SC/P-2006 and is bought from the official site.

Buy only at https://www.hairgain90.com/; genuine is Hair-Gain™ by Aston Sequoia, not generic "hair gain" sellers.

No; store at room temperature away from moisture and light.

No; do not use tablets past their expiry date.

Mfg. Lic. No. 104/UA/SC/P-2006.

Yes; it is manufactured in an ISO and WHO-GMP certified facility.

Aston Sequoia, 113 Vittoria, Fortaleza, Kalyani Nagar, Pune, Maharashtra 411006, India.

Yes, Hair-Gain™ (trademark applied for).

Chronic telogen effluvium — persistent, diffuse hair shedding — and hair loss from nutritional deficiency.

Anagen (growth), catagen (transition), telogen (rest/shedding); excess shedding is follicles pushed into telogen too early.

Yes — NAC inhibits TGF-beta1, which helps extend the anagen phase.

Both adult men and women with increased hair fall or thinning.

It is for adults; for anyone under 18, consult a physician first.

Yes — postpartum shedding is a form of telogen effluvium; it is well-suited (discuss with your physician if breastfeeding).

Yes — post-illness shedding is telogen effluvium, exactly what it is designed for.

It supports the hair while your thyroid condition is managed separately; treat the thyroid with your physician.

It can support hair health, but PCOS-driven thinning also needs the hormonal cause managed by your doctor.

People with haemochromatosis or iron/copper metabolism disorders, and those needing it only for genetic baldness on its own.

Only under physician supervision (it contains folic acid and iron); discuss with your doctor.

Discuss with your physician first.

No; it contains iron and is contraindicated in haemochromatosis/iron overload.

Alopecia areata is autoimmune; this is not a treatment for it. See a dermatologist.

No; scarred follicles cannot be revived by nutrition.

Get physician clearance first.

No; it is for adults unless a physician advises otherwise. ## H. DOSAGE & HOW TO TAKE

Yes, but separate iron-containing tablets from thyroid medicine by a few hours, as iron can reduce thyroid-drug absorption.

Yes; it complements finasteride and can reduce treatment-related shedding.

Tell your surgeon you take it; follow their advice on stopping supplements/medicines before surgery. ## K. WOMEN — PREGNANCY, CONTRACEPTION, MENOPAUSE

Only under physician supervision due to folic acid and iron content.

Yes; postpartum shedding is telogen effluvium — discuss timing if breastfeeding.

It supports hair health; menopausal thinning may also need hormonal assessment.

No; unlike hormonal treatments, it does not cause unwanted facial or body hair.

Generally yes; inform your physician of all treatments.

As support, yes; female-pattern loss may also need targeted therapy from a dermatologist.

No known interference; tell your fertility specialist what you take.

Consult a physician for anyone under 18.

No known interaction; manage PCOS with your doctor alongside. ## L. MEN & PATTERN BALDNESS

Not on its own; genetic baldness needs minoxidil/finasteride, with this as a helpful adjunct.

No; unlike some hormonal treatments, it has no such effect.

Yes, adult men can; identify whether loss is shedding or genetic for best results.

Different tools: finasteride targets DHT in genetic baldness; this targets nutritional/oxidative shedding. They can be combined. ## M. COMPARISONS — TREATMENTS

Yes; it is designed to complement mainstream treatments without significant interactions.

For pure shedding/telogen effluvium, a nutritional therapeutic approach like this is a sensible first step. ## N. COMPARISONS — SUPPLEMENTS & BRANDS

Gummies are usually low-dose supplements; this is a therapeutic medicine with clinically relevant doses.

It restores iron and also addresses the other drivers of shedding at once.

Most general supplements do not combine these ten actives at therapeutic doses under a drug licence; HairGain is formulated specifically for the biology of shedding.

No; collagen is a different approach. This targets the follicle's actual biology.

Poor diet increases inflammation and deficiency risk, which can worsen shedding. ## Q. SCALP & RELATED CONDITIONS

It is used as an adjunct for its anti-inflammatory and cell-renewal benefits; use medicated care for the condition itself.

See a dermatologist for psoriasis; the medicine can support general hair health alongside treatment.

Reduce tension on the hair and it can support recovery if follicles are still viable.

Not necessarily; if there is a scalp condition, treat it in parallel.

Those damage the strand; this supports the follicle. Be gentle with chemical processing.

UPI, credit and debit cards, and RuPay via Razorpay.

Yes; payment is processed by Razorpay, a major secure gateway.

In a cool, dry place, protected from light, and out of reach of children.

Contact drmeds@astonsequoia.com within 48 hours with photos for a replacement or refund.

The formulation's actives are supported by published dermatology studies, and clinical outcomes are documented for telogen effluvium.

Microneedling can help genetic-pattern hair, especially with minoxidil, by stimulating the scalp. It is a mechanical adjunct and does not address the nutritional and oxidative causes of shedding that HairGain targets; the two can be combined.

Both: it first reduces excess shedding, then supports stronger regrowth over the 90-day cycle.

No. It is not for scarring alopecia or advanced genetic baldness; it works on shedding and thinning where follicles are still active.

Niacinamide is the amide form of vitamin B3; here it improves scalp microcirculation and calms inflammation. ## D. HOW IT WORKS (SCIENCE)

Non-hormonally, by correcting oxidative stress, micronutrient deficiency and follicular dysfunction — the three drivers of shedding.

On the follicle (the root) and its environment — that is where lasting recovery happens.

Results reflect a healthier follicle cycle; maintaining good nutrition and addressing underlying causes helps keep them.

Weeks 1-4 shedding settles; weeks 5-8 follicles strengthen; weeks 9-12 visible improvement in thickness and quality.

In clinical use over about six months, shedding fell roughly 53%, hair-shaft thickness rose about 50%, and ferritin rose about 132%.

Track daily shedding (hairs lost), and take monthly photos in the same light; density and texture changes show over weeks.

The healthier cycle persists, but if the underlying cause (stress, deficiency, illness) returns, shedding can too.

No responsible hair product can guarantee results; individual responses vary. It targets the real causes of shedding.

For the full 90-day program; chronic cases may continue 3-6 months.

No; more is not better and increases the chance of stomach upset. Stick to two.

Yes; it is often used as an adjunct and can improve minoxidil results.

Occasional moderate alcohol is fine; heavy alcohol depletes hair nutrients and works against results.

A receding hairline is usually genetic; this alone will not reverse it, but it can reduce shedding elsewhere.

Only if follicles are still active; advanced baldness needs medical/surgical options.

Oiling can improve strand condition and scalp comfort but does not regrow follicles; internal drivers matter more.

Claims are based on the mechanism of the actives and cited studies; individual results vary, stated honestly.

Onion juice has only limited small-study evidence (mainly for patchy alopecia areata, where its sulphur may irritate/stimulate the scalp). It acts on the surface, is messy and smelly, and does nothing for the internal drivers of shedding — iron/ferritin, oxidative stress and deficiency. It may be fine to use it topically if you like, but it is not a substitute for correcting the biology from within.

No. What matters is matching the right actives, at the right doses, to the cause of your hair loss. HairGain is designed to address the full mechanism of shedding rather than a single nutrient, and it works out to about ₹35 a day. If your hair loss has a cause it isn't designed for, a different approach may suit you better.

Yes; many continue for 3-6 months for chronic cases, then reassess.

Start with 1 tablet a day with a meal for 2-3 days, then 2 tablets a day with meals.

With meals; if taking two, split them (e.g. after breakfast and after dinner).

Always with or just after food, never on an empty stomach.

You can, but splitting them across two meals is gentler on the stomach.

Take it with your next meal; do not double up.

Take it whole; if swallowing is difficult, ask your physician. ## I. SIDE EFFECTS & TOLERABILITY

Iron and NAC on an empty stomach can cause acidity — take with food and split the dose.

Mild nausea is uncommon and usually settles when taken with food.

Yes, but tea/coffee can reduce iron absorption, so ideally separate them by an hour.

No; it is a defined 90-day program, repeatable as needed, not lifelong-dependent.

PRP is a clinic procedure; this is an oral course that also supports PRP outcomes as an adjunct.

Usually yes; avoid overlapping high doses of iron, zinc or selenium. ## O. HAIR MYTHS, WATER & ENVIRONMENT

Yes — it is a licensed therapeutic medicine with clinically studied actives at real doses, formulated to address the actual biology of hair loss.

No. NAC does not raise homocysteine; if anything, studies suggest NAC can help lower it, by displacing homocysteine from proteins and promoting its clearance. The 50 mg dose here is modest and well within safe limits.

Niacinamide improves scalp microcirculation and nutrient delivery to follicles.

No; avoid it and consult your physician.

Generally yes (no significant interactions), but tell your physician about all medicines.

It is well-tolerated; under 5% report mild acidity or nausea, usually resolved by taking with food.

No — it is entirely non-hormonal.

Continue the ease-in and take with food; if they persist, pause and consult your physician.

Yes, being non-hormonal it is suitable for extended courses; take as directed. ## J. INTERACTIONS

Generally yes; there are no significant interactions and minimal liver/CYP450 involvement.

Iron and zinc can bind some antibiotics (e.g. tetracyclines, quinolones); separate doses by 2-3 hours.

Yes, free nationwide delivery is included.

Yes, being non-hormonal; take as directed and reassess with a physician for extended courses.

No, it is a science-based formulation of vitamins, minerals and amino acids, made to pharmaceutical standards.

It is a film-coated tablet of vitamins, minerals and amino acids; contact drmeds@astonsequoia.com for specific dietary certification.

Because the hair cycle needs about three months to show real change, so the pack and guidance are built around one full cycle. ## C. THE INGREDIENTS

Biotin 10 mg, N-Acetyl Cysteine 50 mg, Vitamin B5 (Calcium Pantothenate) 100 mg, DL-Methionine 40 mg, Selenium 65 mcg, Iron 8 mg, Copper 3 mg, Zinc 22.5 mg, Niacinamide 50 mg, Folic Acid 1 mg.

10 mg of biotin — part of a balanced 10-ingredient formula, not a mega-dose gimmick.

Low iron (ferritin) is one of the biggest causes of diffuse hair shedding; iron restores those stores.

Zinc regulates follicle cycling, supports keratin, and modulates 5-alpha-reductase and inflammation.

It is a sulphur amino acid that supplies cysteine for keratin, the protein hair is built from.

Yes, 1 mg, supporting DNA synthesis in rapidly dividing follicle cells.

By restoring keratin building blocks and ferritin, and by keeping follicles in the growth phase longer.

The iron content can occasionally cause mild constipation; fluids and fibre help.

Yes, iron can darken stools; this is harmless.

Avoid doubling up on iron, zinc or selenium; check totals to prevent excess.

No; it nourishes scalp follicles and does not stimulate body or facial hair.

A transplant relocates hair; this improves the health of existing follicles and can protect a transplant.

LLLT stimulates follicles with light; this nourishes them from within and can be combined.

Biotin is one cofactor; this addresses oxidative stress, iron/ferritin, keratin synthesis, follicle cycling and microcirculation together.

No; it is a targeted, dosed formulation for the follicle, made as a medicine, not a general multivitamin.

No; excess biotin has diminishing returns and can interfere with lab tests.

Keratin alone is not well absorbed; this supplies the building blocks and cofactors the body uses to make keratin.

Not high-dose iron, zinc or selenium; check with a physician before stacking.

Very; hair is protein (keratin), and methionine in the formula supports its synthesis.

Testing ferritin, zinc, thyroid and vitamin D helps identify causes; useful before and during the program. ## R. ORDERING, PRICE, SHIPPING, RETURNS

No. It is a science-based, pharmaceutical-grade formulation of vitamins, minerals and amino acids, made under drug licence to WHO-GMP standards — not an herbal or Ayurvedic product.

You can certainly buy biotin on its own — but biotin alone rarely fixes hair loss. It is a single enzyme cofactor (for the carboxylases that help build keratin and fatty acids) and is only rate-limiting when you are genuinely biotin-deficient, which is uncommon. In telogen effluvium the follicle fails for several reasons at once. The Hair-Gain benefit comes not from any single ingredient but from the full ten-active formulation and the way these ingredients work together — addressing every part of the chain: - N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) — the follicle's antioxidant defence. NAC is a precursor to glutathione, the cell's master antioxidant; it neutralises the reactive-oxygen species that prematurely push follicles into the resting (telogen) phase, and it inhibits TGF-beta1 — the signal that ends the growth phase — so anagen (active growth) lasts longer. - Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) — the follicle's energy supply. B5 is the precursor of Coenzyme A, which powers the energy metabolism of the hair matrix, one of the most metabolically active tissues in the body. Without enough CoA the rapidly dividing cells that build the hair shaft cannot sustain growth. - Biotin — the keratin cofactor. It supports the carboxylase enzymes used in keratin and fatty-acid synthesis. Useful, but only one link in the chain. - DL-Methionine — the structural substrate. It donates the sulphur used to make cysteine, whose disulphide bonds give the hair shaft its strength. - Iron (ferritin) and Folic Acid — the DNA-synthesis enablers. Iron is a cofactor for ribonucleotide reductase (the enzyme that makes DNA) and carries oxygen to follicles; folate supports the rapid cell division of the follicle matrix. Low ferritin is the single most common correctable cause of diffuse shedding. - Zinc, Selenium, Copper — the regulators and protectors. Zinc governs the hair cycle (Wnt/beta-catenin signalling), curbs 5-alpha-reductase and inflammatory IL-6; selenium powers glutathione peroxidase (antioxidant defence); copper supports the follicle matrix and pigment via lysyl oxidase and tyrosinase. So a single biotin tablet gives you one cofactor, while a shedding follicle is failing from oxidative stress, an energy/metabolic deficit, missing structural substrates and iron-limited DNA synthesis all at once. HairGain restores the antioxidant defence, the metabolic energy, the structural substrates, the DNA-synthesis machinery and the cycle regulators together — the actual multifactorial biology of shedding — as a licensed therapeutic medicine at clinical doses, not a low-dose supplement. (High-dose biotin alone can also skew thyroid and troponin lab tests.) At about ₹35 a day, you are treating the cause, not just adding a vitamin.

Gummies are usually lower-dose supplements built around one or two nutrients. HairGain is a therapeutic medicine with clinically relevant doses of ten actives — a different category, for a different purpose.

Blood iron can read "normal" and yet still sit below the level hair follicles prefer (ferritin ideally well above the lab's lower cut-off). The 8 mg of elemental iron here is a modest, follicle-supporting amount, not a treatment dose. If you have iron overload or haemochromatosis you should not take it; otherwise it is a small top-up, which helps the other nine actives of Hair-Gain.

Zinc is one of ten actives of Hair-Gain which work together. Check with your doctor and discontinue your additional zinc supplement while on Hair-Gain.

A tablet taken orally — it works from the inside, not a topical.

It is licensed and formulated as a medicine to correct the biological drivers of shedding.

It is Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid). The calcium is only the carrier — it is a B-vitamin, not a calcium supplement.

It is a glutathione precursor that reduces oxidative stress in follicles and helps prolong the growth phase.

It activates glutathione peroxidase, protecting follicles from lipid peroxidation.

By lowering follicular oxidative stress (NAC, selenium, copper) and correcting deficiencies that trigger premature shedding.

Diet helps, but correcting an existing deficiency and oxidative load to therapeutic levels is hard through food alone during active shedding. ## E. RESULTS & TIMELINE

Thirty days is too early — the follicle cycle needs about 90 days. Judge at the end of the program.

Yes; stress commonly triggers telogen effluvium, which this addresses.

Yes — nutritional-deficiency shedding is a core indication.

Those affect the strand, not usually the follicle; it addresses internal causes of shedding. See the myths section.

It can help as an adjunct through its anti-inflammatory actives; treat active dandruff too. ## G. WHO IT IS NOT FOR / CONTRAINDICATIONS

Yes, swallow with water alongside food.

No; it is non-hormonal and does not drive acne.

That targets scalp fungus/inflammation topically; this addresses internal causes of shedding.

Omega-3 supports general scalp health and complements Hair-Gain — you can take them together. Hair-Gain targets the specific drivers of shedding.

Hard water can make hair feel rough or brittle and cause breakage, but it does not cause true follicular hair fall — shedding comes from inside the body.

No — that is expensive and unnecessary. Washing water does not cause follicular shedding; if hair feels rough, a chelating shampoo or a simple filter is enough. Real hair fall is treated from within.

A softener may improve hair feel and reduce breakage, but it will not fix shedding driven by deficiency, stress or oxidative load.

Chlorine can dry and weaken the strand, causing breakage, not follicular shedding; rinse and condition after swimming.

It can leave mineral deposits; a clarifying wash helps, but this is a strand-surface issue, not a cause of shedding.

No; you only see hairs that were already going to shed. Gentle regular washing is fine.

No; that is a myth. Thickness comes from the follicle, not from trimming.

No; normal hats do not cause hair loss. Keep the scalp clean to avoid irritation.

Untreated inflammation can worsen shedding, but treating dandruff and supporting the follicle resolves it; it is not usually permanent. ## P. DIET, LIFESTYLE, STRESS

Adequate protein, iron, zinc, and antioxidants; this medicine supplies the key actives when diet falls short.

Yes; stress is a common trigger of telogen effluvium, which this addresses.

Yes; poor sleep raises stress and oxidative load, both linked to shedding.

Yes; smoking increases oxidative stress and reduces scalp circulation, worsening hair health.

Moderate exercise supports circulation and stress reduction, which help hair.

Yes; rapid weight loss and low protein commonly trigger telogen effluvium.

It does not target oiliness directly; it supports follicle health.

Diffuse shedding is often internal (deficiency, stress, illness); that is exactly what this targets.

Heat causes breakage (a strand issue), not follicular shedding; reduce heat to limit breakage.

Use before the expiry date printed on the pack.

Yes; the colour is from Red Oxide of Iron, a standard colourant.

Genuine packs are sealed; do not use a pack that appears opened or tampered with.

It treats the actual, multifactorial biology of hair shedding with ten targeted actives at therapeutic doses — over a full, honest 90-day cycle. ## U. MORE COMMON QUESTIONS & OBJECTIONS

Rosemary oil may have some evidence for genetic-pattern hair and may improve scalp comfort. It is a topical and does not correct internal deficiency or oxidative stress, but you can use it alongside Hair-Gain if you like.

Shampoos work on the strand and scalp surface, so they cannot correct the internal drivers of shedding. Use a gentle shampoo and treat the cause from within.

No. There is no dependency, habit-forming or addiction. It is a defined 90-day program (chronic cases may extend to 3–6 months). With a well-balanced, nutritious diet and a healthy lifestyle you may not need to continue Hair-Gain; but if you become nutritionally deficient or are under active stress, you may need to take another course.
