Is this you?
Root was built for you if...
You're losing hair and no one warned you.
You went in to get healthier. Nobody mentioned the drain, the brush, the ponytail that isn't there anymore.
You've just started, and you'd rather not get blindsided.
The shedding shows up around month five. The cause starts on day one.
You've been told it's "just stress."
You know it isn't. You want someone to take it seriously and explain what's actually happening.
You've tried biotin gummies and nothing shifted.
Because they only fight one half of the problem.
Your GP said your iron is "normal."
And you still feel exhausted and still find hair everywhere.
You want to stay on your medication and keep your hair.
Not choose. Both.
Two causes. Two answers.
Two things pull your hair out on a weight loss jab. Most supplements fight only one.
The Nutrient Half
Losing weight fast tips more hair follicles into their resting phase, and these medications leave you short on the nutrients hair is built from - iron most of all. Weight loss jab users have been found to carry up to 30% lower iron reserves. And your GP checks the iron in your blood, not your reserves (ferritin) - so low stores get missed while the shedding carries on.
The Hormone Half
As you lose weight, the balance at the follicle can tip toward DHT - the androgen that thins hair at the crown, temples and part line. Nutrition can't touch this half.
What Root does, and the numbers behind why it matters.
Most hair supplements fight one cause. Root covers both.
01 / Iron
Puts back the iron your medication drains
The nutrient these medications hit hardest — in the gentle form that won't wreck your stomach.
Up to 30% lower iron reserves found in weight loss jab users
02 / Hormones
Covers the hormone half nutrition can't reach
As you lose weight, the balance at the follicle can tip toward DHT. No amount of biotin touches it.
200mg saw palmetto, standardised to 45–50% fatty acids
03 / Hair
Supports normal, healthy hair
Zinc and biotin at sensible doses — not the mega-doses that skew your blood tests.
12.7% of weight loss injection users are nutritionally deficient by six months
04 / Energy
Eases the tiredness that comes with it
Low iron doesn't just show up in your hair. It shows up at 3pm.
14mg iron + 100µg B12 — both contribute to reducing fatigue
Six actives. Every dose printed.
Saw Palmetto Extract (200mg)
Standardised, 45–50% fatty acids The hormone-half ingredient almost no one else includes. Traditionally used to support hormonal balance. Printed in full, not buried in a blend.
Iron Bisglycinate (14mg)
100% NRV The one most hair supplements leave out. Contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to normal red blood cell formation. Gentle, well-absorbed form.
Zinc Bisglycinate (10mg)
100% NRV Contributes to the maintenance of normal hair.
Biotin (500mcg)
Contributes to the maintenance of normal hair. A sensible dose — not the 5,000µg mega-doses that can skew thyroid and heart blood tests.
B12 (100mcg), Vitamin D3 (25mcg)
B12 in the active, body-ready form. Contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. D3 Contributes to normal immune function. The D3 form your body actually uses.
What to Expect
What happens after you start taking Root
MONTH 1
Groundwork
- The iron and nutrients begin refilling what your medication's been quietly draining.
- Any shedding already in motion may still show - that's old hair finishing, not a sign it isn't working.
- Nothing dramatic in the mirror yet, and that's exactly on schedule.
- The part you can't see is the part that matters most right now.
MONTH 2
The Turn
- Your iron reserves climb back toward where hair growth holds steady.
- Many women notice the shedding start to settle - fewer strands in the drain and on the brush.
- The daily habit is locked in; this is the window that rewards consistency.
- Still early, but the tide is turning.
MONTH 3
New Growth
- This is where it gets good - the hair cycle is finally on your side.
- The soft baby hairs many women start to see at the hairline and temples.
- Your ponytail starts to feel like itself again.
- Your hairdresser often spots it before you do.
MONTH 4 & BEYOND
Staying Ahead
- Fuller-looking hair becomes your normal, not a one-off.
- While you're on your medication, Root keeps your nutrients topped up so you stay ahead of the shed.
- Stop, and the depletion can quietly creep back in.
- This is why women don't do one pouch - they stay on it.

Shedding genuinely slowed
I nearly stopped at week five. My GP just said wait it out. Week ten and the shedding has genuinely slowed. First thing that's actually made a difference since starting my weight loss journey.

Why choose PapilioRoot?
Everyone else re-labelled a generic hair vitamin and called it "for weight loss" That's not a formula - it's marketing. Root is the only one actually built for both causes: the iron these medications drain, and the hormone shift they trigger.

You've got questions, we've got the answers
When will I actually see a difference?
+
Give it three months of taking it every day. Weeks 8–12 is where many women notice the shedding settle and the first baby hairs come in. Hair works & grows slowly - this is a support supplement that aids the growth over time.
How does the subscription work — can I cancel?
+
Your 30-day supply arrives automatically each month unless you've purchased the 2 and 3 monthly, they will come every 2 and 3 months. Pause, skip or cancel anytime in two clicks from your account - no phone calls, no minimum term, no cancellation fee, no tricks.
Is it safe if I have thyroid issues?
+
Many women with thyroid conditions take Root, and we deliberately kept biotin at a sensible 500µg - high-dose biotin can interfere with thyroid blood tests, and we didn't want that. Still, if you're on levothyroxine or being monitored, have a quick word with your GP.
Will it upset my stomach like iron tablets do?
+
The bisglycinate form is chosen specifically because it doesn't - far less of the nausea and constipation ordinary iron causes.
What's in it? Is it vegan?
+
Six actives: saw palmetto (200mg), iron bisglycinate (14mg), zinc bisglycinate (10mg), biotin (500µg), vitamin B12 methylcobalamin (100µg) and vegan vitamin D3 from lichen (25µg). Plus a rice-flour base and a plant-based (HPMC) capsule. Fully vegan - no gelatine, no animal-derived D3. That's the whole list. Nothing hidden in a "blend."
Can I take it with the iron I already take?
+
Check with your pharmacist first - Root already contains 14mg of iron, so you may not need a separate supplement on top.
Do I keep taking it once my hair improves?
+
While you're on your medication, it's worth staying on Root - the nutrient drain doesn't stop just because your hair settles. Many women stay on it for as long as they're on their weight loss injections, then decide from there. It's entirely your call, and you can stop anytime.
How many capsules do I get per pouch?
+
30 vegan capsules - a full month's supply at one a day.
When and where does it ship from?
+
Root ships from the UK via Royal Mail 1st Class. You'll get a tracking email when yours is on its way.
How does the subscription work — can I cancel?
+
Your 30-day supply arrives automatically each month unless you've purchased the 2 and 3 monthly, they will come every 2 and 3 months. Pause, skip or cancel anytime in two clicks from your account - no phone calls, no minimum term, no cancellation fee, no tricks.
