Hair can be quick to notice when something else is out of balance – hormonal changes, stress, or a diet that isn’t quite covering everything it should. It’s a familiar story for many women. Xpecia for Women was put together with exactly this in mind: one tablet in the morning, one in the evening, both after a meal. That’s really all there is to it.

Ingredients explained
All amounts below refer to the daily dose of two tablets.
Biotin – 1,000 µg (2,000% NRV)

Zinc – 15 mg (150% NRV)
Zinc is an essential trace element. Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal hair, normal skin and normal nails. Zinc also contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress and has a role in the process of cell division.
