Irish shoppers rave about 'hairdresser approved' gummies for transforming hair health
Across Ireland, many are turning to supplements to tackle common health and beauty issues - with hair loss being a major concern.
Whether it's gradual thinning, postpartum shedding, stress-induced hair fall or simply wanting to give your tresses a boost, hair health is a matter that affects both men and women of all ages and backgrounds throughout the nation. It's always crucial to consult a GP or a certified trichologist if you observe sudden or severe changes, but there are safe and accessible methods to bolster hair health from within.
One such method gaining traction in Ireland is the use of biotin-based supplements, often recommended for fortifying hair, nails and skin. One product receiving high praise online is Novomins Biotin Gummies - a chewable, peach-flavoured supplement that's easy to consume and brimming with nutrients to promote healthy hair growth.
Retailing at a fair €19.99 for 60 gummies on Amazon's newly-launched Irish website, this supplement boasts 10,000mcg of biotin per serving. Novomins Biotin Gummies are a potent, vegan-friendly supplement designed to encourage healthy hair growth, stronger nails and radiant skin.

They're also free from artificial colours or preservatives, gluten-free, cruelty-free and gentle on the digestive system, reports the Irish Mirror. Perfect for anyone grappling with thinning hair or dryness, they're backed by GMP standards and come with a money-back guarantee.
The overwhelming majority of reviews are full of praise, with many users seeing positive changes in just a few weeks or months. One satisfied customer shared: "My hair also looks better after about 1 month."
Another concurred: "Already used before, bought here because the price was more attractive, they are really very good and they do their duty, after a month's use, you can already see the first results, stronger hair and nails grow faster, ideal for me, who usually grow very slowly."
Some have witnessed astounding transformations with prolonged use: A user recounted: "A new hair dresser told me about these so I thought even though everything I had tried over the past 5 years have made no difference at all I would still give them a try. Oh my lord what a change they have made, after 5 months I have hair propped grown up hair and I can't thank my hairdresser enough for putting me on to these. Wish I could give 100 stars because I would."
There are those who have observed enhancements in hair texture and overall look, as one individual exclaimed: "I've always been one to try products but never actually see results until this baby came along, I've noticed my hair has not only grown but, the shine! ! Super soft, healthy and no longer dry I'm honestly amazed by this product! I ordered another 2 packs just incase they sell out. They also taste amazing, overall fantastic product that works! ! !".
Multiple reviews have complimented the gummies for reducing hair loss and fostering more rapid growth. For example, one customer remarked: "Tastes heavenly and is good for your hair. My hair has grown longer and thicker since I've been taking it."
Another person added: "I will be purchasing again soon. Tasty and definitely has helped my hair get thicker very quickly as I have fine hair. Would recommend yes definitely and good price for 2 months worth!".
However, a few customers mentioned that despite enjoying the gummies' taste, they have not observed significant improvements to date. Some reviewers pointed out that perhaps more time was required for noticeable results. For instance, one individual stated: "I have been using these for couple of weeks now, although I am still yet to see them working they taste very nice. I think i will need to taking these long term to see a difference which I intend to be doing."
An additional comment included: "They taste good and - perhaps, they help the hair. They certainly don't make it worse." One other reviewer shared: "Completed the course but no much different to the hair."

Dispensing errors among top complaints made against pharmacists last year
Others include pharmacy practice or management issues, failure to supply medicines, as well as a case of failing to advise a patient on medicines and another on fraudulent activity. The reports were made the Pharmaceutical Society of Ireland (PSI) which regulates pharmacists and received 78 formal complaints, an increase of 6pc on the previous year. Some 72 complaints were made by a member of the public while others include doctors, another pharmacist or health professional. There were 20 inquiries commenced into pharmacist, 15 before the Professional Conduct Committee and five before the health committee, according to the PSI's annual report. Of the 20 hearings held, findings were made in five inquiries. Findings by the Committees of Inquiry where allegations were proven beyond all reasonable doubt. This included professional misconduct, poor professional performance, or impairment. A total of ten undertaking applications were accepted by the Committees under Section 46 of the Pharmacy Act 2007. When an undertaking is accepted, no findings are made against the respondent. Undertakings allow complaints, where appropriate, to be resolved without the need for a prolonged inquiry process. Two pharmacists were struck off the register in 2024 due to sanctions arising from Fitness to Practise complaints. In 2024, 21 pharmaceutical assistants voluntarily cancelled their registration. A total of four pharmaceutical assistants had their registration involuntarily cancelled. A mystery shopper exercise also found some pharmacies were not fully compliant with regulations around the sale of codeine which can lead to addiction. PSI Registrar and Chief Officer Joanne Kissane said that 'further to the Government decision to expand access to new healthcare training places last year, the PSI has been supporting the move to establish three new pharmacy programmes in the State'. 'There was a continued increase in the Register of Pharmacists in 2024, with a total of 7,731 registered pharmacists at the end of the year. In 2024, there were 417 new pharmacist registrations. Of those newly registered pharmacists, 41pc received their qualification from Irish universities. Other new registrants to Ireland have qualifications from 31 different countries worldwide. The total number of pharmacies registered was 1,989, an increase of four from the previous year,' she said. ADVERTISEMENT 'The PSI conducted 347 risk-based inspections last year, as well as 18 registration-related inspections for new pharmacy openings or changes in pharmacy ownership. "Risk-based inspections are undertaken following a review of information available to the regulator, and/or in the event of a member of the public or external body raising a concern. The PSI's compliance role involves ensuring the safety of pharmacy care and services in accordance with legislative and regulatory requirements. 'Twenty hearings were conducted before the PSI's Committees of Inquiry in 2024. 'In addition, the PSI reviewed and took actions to address general concerns raised with it about a range of pharmacy matters. Almost all (92pc) of the 111 concerns came from members of the public. These concerns are expressed where someone does not wish to make a formal complaint but provides information to the PSI.'
