Hair Skin and Nails Gummies

WEEM is a small Los Angeles brand whose vegan Hair.Skin.Nails gummies launched in 2020. Two raspberry-flavored pectin gummies deliver 5,000 mcg of biotin (16,667% of the Daily Value) plus vitamins A, C, D, E, B6 and B12, folate, pantothenic acid, 2.7 mg of zinc and 42 mcg of iodine, with 20 calories and 3 g of added sugar. The extras range from 22% to 250% of the Daily Value, so it behaves more like a modest gummy multivitamin than a hair-specific formula, and the inositol (40 mcg) and choline (0.04 mg) amounts are token.

The evidence for the headline ingredient is weak. NIH's Office of Dietary Supplements says biotin's hair, skin and nail claims rest on a few case reports and small studies, and a 2017 review found every reported benefit involved a deficiency or underlying condition. A dose this high also matters for blood work: the FDA has warned since 2017 that biotin can distort some lab tests, including falsely low troponin results, so tell your clinician before any blood test.

The label carries a GMP seal and WEEM says the gummies are made in the US, but we found no named third-party testing. The current label misprints vitamin D as 10 mg (its 50% Daily Value matches 10 mcg), and the gummies are colored partly with titanium dioxide, which European regulators no longer consider safe as a food additive. At $30 for a 30-day bottle on the brand site, it costs about $1 a day, several times the price of mainstream biotin gummies. Buyers consistently praise the taste and many report faster nail growth and less shedding, while recurring complaints include no visible change after months, an off smell or taste in some bottles, and subscription and refund problems.
