Why the label matters more than the front of the pack

Walk down any supplement aisle and you'll see the same thing: bold claims in big letters, and the details in tiny print. Two products can look nearly identical on the shelf while containing very different amounts, ingredients and formats.

So before you spend your money, here are five things worth checking on any hair supplement, ours included.

1

Is every ingredient listed in full?

You should be able to see exactly what's inside, with nothing hidden behind a vague "blend".

Pepita & Co: pumpkin seed oil, zinc and vitamin E, with the full list printed on every pack.
2

Does it show the amount per serving?

A big number means little if you can't tell whether it's per capsule or per day. Look for the serving size and servings per pack.

Pepita & Co: serving information is on the label, so you can compare like with like.
3

Are the claims honest and authorised?

In the UK, health claims on supplements must be authorised. Be wary of anything that sounds like a cure or a guarantee.

Pepita & Co: zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal hair; vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.*
4

Is the format one you'll actually stick with?

The best supplement is the one you remember to take. Powders, drops and multi-step routines can be hard to keep up.

Pepita & Co: a simple softgel you take with water. Nothing to mix or measure.
5

Are the purchase terms clear?

Look for transparent pricing, returns terms and a way to check them before you order.

Pepita & Co: live pricing on the product page and a 30-day money-back guarantee.

A realistic note on expectations

Pumpkin seed oil has been the subject of early-stage research, but the evidence is still developing, and no ingredient can promise a particular result. Food supplements work best as part of a long-term routine alongside a varied diet and healthy lifestyle.

Pepita & Co is not a treatment for hair loss or any medical condition, and individual results vary and can't be guaranteed.
