The hair loss at month four is the hormone drop after your baby, and it is temporary. You cannot stop it, but you can support the recovery your body is already working on. Eleven actives, one daily dose, every dose printed on the label so you and your provider can see exactly what is in it.
“I’ve spent my career treating the hormonal systems behind hair change: thyroid, metabolism, and the way a body recalibrates after a major hormonal event. Few events are more abrupt than birth. I formulated the gummy I wanted to hand the new moms in my practice.”
Of new moms go through this shed. It is common, hormonal, and not a sign you are going bald.
After birth is when the shed usually starts, peaking around month four or five.
By which it has largely resolved for most women, with a regrowth halo along the hairline as the sign of recovery.
After delivery, estrogen falls sharply. The hair pregnancy held in its growth phase is released all at once and sheds about two to four months later, in a wave. No supplement reverses that drop, and the shed is temporary. What recovery needs is the structure your new hair is rebuilt from, and the follicle’s nutrient environment, at the moment recovery and nursing draw those reserves down. That is what the formula supports.
After birth, estrogen drops sharply and the hair it held in growth sheds in a wave about two to four months later. This formula supports the recovery pathways underneath, the structure and the follicle environment, while the shed resolves on its own timeline.
Keratin synthesis runs on biotin, zinc, vitamin D3, and selenium, and recovery and nursing stretch those stores thin. Every one is on the label, at a dose you can read.
The antioxidant reserve that shields each follicle runs lower during recovery. Vitamin C, vitamin E, and selenium support that defense, protecting hair and skin cells.
New hair is rebuilt on a collagen scaffold, and recovery raises the demand to rebuild it. Hydrolyzed collagen peptides with vitamin C supply the building blocks your body uses.
Every hair moves through growth, rest, and shed phases. After birth, the estrogen drop pushes a large wave of follicles into shedding at once. Vitamin D and zinc support steady cycling as the shed resolves.
Hair and nails are built almost entirely from keratin, assembled from sulfur amino acids. L-cysteine, MSM, and bamboo silica supply the raw materials recovery depletes first.
Most hair gummies hide their amounts inside a “proprietary blend,” and every hair brand tells you their gummy is “breastfeeding-safe.” We do neither. We will not claim it is safe to take while nursing, because no hair gummy has been studied the way a claim like that should be. What we will do is print every ingredient and every dose on the label, so you and your own OB or lactation consultant can review the exact list and decide together. Talk to your provider before starting any supplement while breastfeeding. That transparency is the honest version of what other brands turn into a marketing claim.
Chosen by our physician for what recovery after birth actually demands: the structure new hair is rebuilt from, the strand itself, and the follicle’s nutrient environment, with every dose printed on the label.
Provides amino acids, especially glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline, that your body uses to build collagen: the structural scaffold in skin, hair follicles, and nail beds that recovery and nursing draw down.*
An organic sulfur compound your body uses to cross-link collagen and form the disulfide bonds in keratin, the structural framework of hair and nails.*
Silicon cross-links collagen fibers and supports the mineralization of hair and nail matrices. Bamboo is one of the most bioavailable natural sources of silica your body can absorb.*
A botanical extract standardized for phytosterols, included in the full formula and printed on the label at 50 mg with no proprietary blend. It is one of the eleven actives, not a hero ingredient here.*
An amino acid your body uses to form the disulfide bonds in keratin, the chemical links that give hair its tensile strength. Roughly 10–15% of keratin is composed of cysteine residues.*
An essential cofactor your body uses in keratin synthesis, the structural protein in hair and nails. Biotin supports normal hair, skin, and nail formation when daily intake is adequate.*
A required cofactor for the enzymes that cross-link and stabilize collagen. Without adequate vitamin C, your body can't properly assemble the collagen scaffolds that give skin its elasticity and hair follicles their structural support.*
Hair follicles express vitamin D receptors. D3 supports normal follicle cycling between growth and resting phases and helps modulate inflammatory signaling pathways linked to hair shedding.*
A fat-soluble antioxidant that protects the lipid membranes of skin cells and hair follicles from UV and environmental free radical damage. Works synergistically with selenium as part of the body's antioxidant defense system.*
Your body uses approximately 20mg of zinc daily to maintain hair follicle cycling. Zinc supports keratin synthesis, follicle stem cell signaling, and the antioxidant enzymes that protect dermal papilla cells.*
Incorporated into glutathione peroxidase, your scalp's master antioxidant enzyme that protects hair follicle stem cells from oxidative damage. Also supports thyroid hormone conversion, which regulates hair growth cycles.*
The new mothers across from me kept describing the same thing: hair coming out in clumps around month four, and an OB who said it was normal and would grow back. It is normal, and it is temporary. But they were handed no plan, and no honest answer about what they could take while nursing. I built the gummy I’d hand them around that recovery.

Hair grows on a roughly 90-day cycle, so an honest answer is measured in months, not weeks. Here is what is happening underneath while the shed resolves. Nails tend to respond first; hair takes the longest.
The shed is hormonal and self-resolving, so this is daily support across that time, not a fix. Everyone’s timeline is different. If your shedding is sudden or patchy, or hasn’t eased by about twelve months, see a clinician.
“Clumps in the shower at four months, and my OB just said it’s normal. This is the first thing that felt built for recovery, not a random biotin gummy.”
“Every ingredient and dose is on the label, so I took the list to my lactation consultant and we went through it together. That mattered more to me than any claim.”
“There’s no way I’m managing six bottles with a newborn. One a day I can actually do.”
