What’s Actually In Your Supplement? And Why It Matters More Than You Think.
By a hairdresser, trichologist, and co-founders of Seed & Soul™ who’s seen behind the glossy labels.
Let’s get real for a minute.
Every day, women sit in my salon chair and ask:
“Should I take Seed & Soul if I’m already on a supplement?”
My answer?
Not all supplements are created equal. And most of them? They’re just clever marketing in a pretty bottle.
Here’s the truth:
Most over the counter hair supplements are bulked out with cheap ingredients, shiny promises, and very little of what your body and hair actually needs.
So before you choose Seed & Soul™ (or anything else), I want to empower you to ask a better question:
What’s actually in the thing I’m putting into my body every day?
And more importantly, is it doing what I think it’s doing?
Flip the Bottle. Read the Label. And Start With This Simple Test
When a client tells me they’re already taking a supplement, I say:
Go home. Turn the packet around. Look at the first two ingredients.
Why?
Because supplement labels list ingredients in order of quantity whatever’s listed first is what makes up the majority of that capsule.
Let’s Break It Down — What’s in Seed & Soul™ and Why It Matters
When we created Seed & Soul™, we didn’t start with trends. We started with real women’s struggles: postpartum shedding, perimenopause thinning, stress-related inflammation, auto-immune hair loss, and deep fatigue that robs you of joy.
We wanted to fix that — from the inside out.
Here’s what you’ll find at the top of our label (because it’s what makes up the most of each capsule):
✔️ Reishi Mushroom
A powerful adaptogen that helps regulate cortisol (the stress hormone that shrinks follicles and spikes inflammation)
Anti-inflammatory, immune supportive, and follicle protective
✔️ Green Tea Extract
Packed with polyphenols to reduce inflammation and support scalp circulation
Natural DHT blocker (the hormone linked to hair thinning and miniaturisation)
✔️ Iron & Zinc
Two of the most common deficiencies we see in clients with hair loss
Crucial for hair structure, scalp oxygenation, and regrowth
But here’s the catch: we use the absorbable forms not the cheap, hard-on-your-gut versions
✔️ Myo-Inositol
Essential for hormonal balance and insulin regulation
A game-changer for women with PCOS-related thinning or hormonal imbalance
✔️ Vitamin C & B12
Supports iron absorption, collagen production, and energy
Because when you’re tired, your hair feels it first
What’s not in Seed & Soul™?
❌ Bulking agents/ Brown rice
❌ Fillers
❌ Unnecessary sugars, synthetic colours, or cheap marketing fluff
You deserve to know what you’re putting in your body. You deserve supplements that work because they’re created with care, science, and integrity.
So next time you reach for a “hair, skin & nails” bottle at the checkout line flip it. Read it. Ask better questions.
And if you’re ready to feed your follicles properly with supplements designed by experts who actually understand the hair on your head and the hormones in your body, we’d love to welcome you to Seed & Soul™.
Because this isn’t just about hair.
It’s about power. Identity. And recognising yourself in the mirror again.
