Hair Growth: Finasteride, Biotin, Vitamin C | Compounded
Finasteride 1 mg is an FDA-approved oral medication used to treat male pattern hair loss in adult men. If you’ve started noticing a receding hairline, thinning at the crown, or gradual overall hair thinning, this medication is designed to address one of the root causes. Finasteride works by lowering levels of DHT, a hormone that can shrink hair follicles in men who are genetically prone to hair loss. By reducing DHT, it may help slow further thinning and support visible hair regrowth over time.
Most men need to take finasteride daily for at least three months before seeing noticeable improvement. Consistency matters, and continued use is required to maintain results. If you stop taking the medication, the benefits gained during treatment are typically lost within about 12 months.
This medication is an FDA-approved commercial product indicated for men only and is not approved for use in women or children dispensed by a licensed pharmacy. Review important medication safety information.
Superior’s Hair Growth capsules are a customized compounded formula designed to support male hair retention and hair growth support over time. This blend combines finasteride, a prescription medication commonly used for male pattern hair loss, with biotin (vitamin B7) and vitamin C to help support hair structure and scalp health.
Finasteride works by lowering dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone linked to hair follicle miniaturization in men who are genetically prone to hair thinning. Biotin supports keratin production and healthy hair and skin, while vitamin C supports collagen production and provides antioxidant support.
This is a compounded capsule formulation dispensed by a licensed compounding pharmacy. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and have not been reviewed for safety or efficacy. Review important medication safety information.
