A lot are loaded with biotin\u2014a single ingredient at mega-doses with no real clinical data for hair growth. <strong class=\"font-semibold\">Xtress\u00e9 Hair Growth Gummies\u00ae <\/strong>were built in direct opposition to that formula.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">Founded by dermatologists and hair restoration experts who, as the brand puts it, \u201cwere tired of seeing the same thing\u2014products full of promises and empty on science,\u201d Xtress\u00e9 went back to the key causes of hair loss and mapped what actually stops shedding and drives growth. The result: a biotin-free gummy that earned the NewBeauty 100 What\u02bcs Next in Beauty award in 2025 and our Best Hair Growth Supplement distinction in 2026. Here is exactly why it won.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h2 id=\"the-biotin-free-bet-that-paid-off\" class=\"font-canela mb-4 mt-8 text-2xl font-light leading-tight text-black md:text-3xl\">The Biotin-Free Bet That Paid Off<\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">The decision to go biotin-free is one of the most significant features of Xtress\u00e9, and it is not a gimmick. While biotin deficiency is actually quite rare, high-dose biotin supplements are everywhere in the hair care space\u2014and research suggests they can interfere with thyroid and cardiac lab results, creating false readings. Xtresse\u02bcs dermatologist founders chose to skip it entirely and focus on eight clinically backed bioactives that support healthy follicles and the normal hair growth cycle.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-eight-ingredients-and-what-they-actually-do\" class=\"font-canela mb-4 mt-8 text-2xl font-light leading-tight text-black md:text-3xl\">The Eight Ingredients and What They Actually Do<\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">The X3-BioActive Blend\u2122 targets five factors that contribute to hair thinning\u2014oxidative and environmental stress, systemic and localized inflammation , cellular aging, and nutrient deficiency\u2014through a coordinated stack of ingredients, not a single hero molecule.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"nad\" class=\"font-canela mb-3 mt-5 text-lg font-medium leading-tight text-black md:text-xl\">NAD+<\/h4>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">A naturally occurring coenzyme involved in cellular energy metabolism. Because NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, Xtress\u00e9 includes NAD+ to help support healthy cellular function and healthy hair.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">Rich in naturally occurring phytosterols and antioxidants, pumpkin seed extract helps support healthy hair follicles and hair density. Published clinical studies have evaluated pumpkin seed extract for its role in supporting healthy hair.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"taurine\" class=\"font-canela mb-3 mt-5 text-lg font-medium leading-tight text-black md:text-xl\">Taurine<\/h4>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">Protects hair follicles and promotes follicle survival during the growth phase. Taurine is found naturally in the dermal papilla cells at the base of each follicle and plays a role in keeping those cells viable.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"saw-palmetto\" class=\"font-canela mb-3 mt-5 text-lg font-medium leading-tight text-black md:text-xl\">Saw Palmetto<\/h4>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">Naturally occurring amino acid supports healthy cellular function and healthy hair follicles as part of a balanced hair health formula.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"ashwagandha\" class=\"font-canela mb-3 mt-5 text-lg font-medium leading-tight text-black md:text-xl\">Ashwagandha<\/h4>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">Adaptogenic botanical that helps support a healthy response to occasional stress and overall wellness as part of a comprehensive hair health formula.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">Rich in naturally occurring silica to help support healthy hair strength, texture, and appearance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">Rich in naturally occurring antioxidant compounds that help support scalp health and overall hair wellness.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">Clinically studied to support healthy hair growth and healthy hair follicles as part of a comprehensive hair health formula.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-a-derm-over-50-actually-uses\" class=\"font-canela mb-4 mt-8 text-2xl font-light leading-tight text-black md:text-3xl\">What a Derm Over 50 Actually Uses<\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">Perhaps the most telling endorsement comes from Louisville, KY dermatologist Tami Buss Cassis, MD\u2014who uses Xtress\u00e9 herself and recommends it to her patients. \u201cJust like with our skin, hair changes as we get into our 50s,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u02bcs a thing and, unfortunately, we haven\u02bct always been so great talking openly about it.\u201d She points specifically to the formulation as a differentiator: \u201cWe have made serious progress in understanding great vitamins that do not contain higher levels of biotin to help men and women with hair growth. My favorite is Xtress\u00e9. It is two easy gummies a day. Within six weeks, you will see a difference in the overall quality of your hair.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">Dr. Buss Cassis also flags a hair loss trigger that often catches patients off guard: anesthesia. \u201cWhen you have a procedure that requires anesthesia, it is very possible you will notice an increase in shedding three to six months after the procedure,\u201d she says\u2014a condition known as telogen effluvium, or stress-related shedding. It\u02bcs exactly the kind of systemic, cortisol-driven hair disruption that Xtresse\u02bcs ashwagandha inclusion is designed to address. As Dr. Buss Cassis puts it: \u201cTelogen effluvium is common but correctable. The days of worrying about losing all your hair are over.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"my-8 mx-auto max-w-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.sanity.io\/images\/0vv8moc6\/newbeauty\/2496f908fc32efd579979bba82a7dc856cce8401-2752x1536.jpg?w=1200&amp;auto=format&amp;q=70\" alt=\"\" width=\"2752\" height=\"1536\" class=\"h-auto w-full rounded\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"the-clinical-results\" class=\"font-canela mb-4 mt-8 text-2xl font-light leading-tight text-black md:text-3xl\">The Clinical Results<\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">The numbers are among the most compelling in the supplement category. In an ongoing clinical study of women with self-perceived thinning hair\u2014\u201482 percent of participants saw measurable improvement within four months\u00b9. Nearly 200,000 customers are now using the product, and the brand reports meaningful before-and-after results across a wide age range, from a 28-year-old with early thinning to a 65-year-old with more advanced loss.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-sets-it-apart-from-everything-else-on-the-market\" class=\"font-canela mb-4 mt-8 text-2xl font-light leading-tight text-black md:text-3xl\">What Sets It Apart From Everything Else on the Market<\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">Beyond the ingredient list, a few things distinguish Xtress\u00e9 from the crowded supplement field:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"my-6 ml-6 list-disc space-y-2 text-gray-800\">\n<li class=\"pl-2 leading-relaxed\">It is sugar-free, soy-free, shellfish-free, gluten-free, hormone-free, and vegetarian\u2014a clean formula without the usual tradeoffs.<\/li>\n<li class=\"pl-2 leading-relaxed\">It was developed by an in-house team of dermatologists and hair restoration specialists, not by a marketing team working backward from a trend.<\/li>\n<li class=\"pl-2 leading-relaxed\">Every ingredient is dosed at or below the recommended daily value, making long-term, continuous use low-risk.<\/li>\n<li class=\"pl-2 leading-relaxed\">It fits into a broader system, including the FR Concentrate Serum and in-office Xvie XO treatments, for those who want a complete, layered approach.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">The <strong class=\"font-semibold\">Xtress\u00e9 Hair Growth Gummies <\/strong>are available at Dermatology practices throughout the country and available on xtresse.com.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\"><sub class=\"text-xs\">\u00b9Based on an interim report of a 4-month, open-label, single-group study of 60 women aged 28 to 65 yrs with self-perceived thinning hair who took two Xtress\u00e9 Gummies daily. Visible improvement was measured using Hair Density Changes Measured by SOCAi, and Canfield HairMetrix Phototrichogram Analysis; 9 of 11 participants met the improvement criterion. The study did not include a placebo control. Results have not yet been reported. Individual results may vary.
