HIRSANA® has been available in pharmacies in Switzerland since 2005. To date, we have not had any reports of adverse health effects. Quite the opposite – customers who take HIRSANA® keep confirming to us that they have no problems whatsoever taking the capsules. Scientific tests over a 3-month period of taking the supplement have also confirmed complete tolerance. In addition, we also know that many people have already taken HIRSANA® continuously for years without any side effects. We are not aware that HIRSANA® has any side effects.

Nonetheless, we always recommend that you discuss things with your gynaecologist if you have any concerns.

Buy HIRSANA® from our online shop / online

You can buy HIRSANA® in our online shop or from a number of different online pharmacies. However, we do not recommend the use of online pharmacies.

 

How many capsules per day / recommended dose?

Did you know that our hair and fingernails only grow around 1 cm or 0.5 cm per month, and that the cells in our skin also take around a month to regenerate? What this means is that our bodies can regenerate visibly over a longer period of time. Therefore, a certain amount of patience is required before the beneficial signs of taking HIRSANA® become evident – and reducing the dosage would prevent it from working. 
For this reason, we initially recommend a concentrated course, i.e. taking 2x HIRSANA® capsules per day for a period of 3 months. In some cases, it will be enough to just take 1 capsule per day afterwards in order to maintain the required levels of natural active ingredients. Complete tolerance of the HIRSANA® capsules over an extended period of time has been demonstrated in scientific studies.

Daily HIRSANA® golden millet oil capsules:

The recommended choice for:

  • Damaged, stressed hair (perms, colouration, hair dryer treatment)
  • Thin, lifeless hair
  • Damaged scalp (dry scalp, itching scalp)

 

Ingredients / gluten

Based on our own monitoring, HIRSANA® contains only very small amounts of gluten. 100 g of HIRSANA® contains less than 0.3 mg of gluten. This level is so low that, by law, HIRSANA® can officially be labelled “GLUTEN FREE” – just like any other foodstuff with a gluten content below 20 mg per 100g of foodstuff.

 

Capsule discolouration / separation of the suspension

HIRSANA® comes in the form of soft gelatine capsules with a liquid filling of golden millet oil and other active ingredients (suspension). This suspension can separate into its constituent ingredients if storage temperatures fluctuate (e.g. during the high temperatures encountered in the recent heat wave). This then leads to the changes in appearance you have described.

However, this process has no impact whatsoever in terms of the efficacy of the capsules. This means that you can continue to take the capsules without any concerns and without any loss of efficacy.

 

Non-genetically-modified millet

One of our guiding principles at Zwicky is that we only use NON-genetically modified cereals. This also means that all the millet we process – and therefore also HIRSANA® – is guaranteed GMO-free. 

 

Androgenetic alopecia

HIRSANA® has been available in pharmacies and drugstores in Switzerland since 2005 and has been officially approved as a dietary supplement by the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health. A scientific test over a 3-month period of taking the supplement confirmed complete tolerance and the beneficial effects of HIRSANA®. The key here is to keep taking the capsules on a regular basis.

 

Why gelatine capsules?

The soft, small HIRSANA® gelatine capsules (12 mm x 8 mm) are easy to swallow in comparison to other standard tablets. This is particularly advantageous for everyone who finds it difficult to swallow tablets.
