Glowwa Hair Food Meno: An Inside-Out Solution for Menopausal Hair Loss

Menopause and Thinning Hair – Why Does It Happen?

Menopause isn’t just about hot flashes and mood changes – it can affect your hair, too. In fact, about one-third of women experience hair loss at some point, and as many as two-thirds of postmenopausal women have thinning hair or bald spots.

Women often first notice their hair getting thinner around menopause, when hormonal shifts kick in. During this transition, oestrogen levels plummet while androgens (like DHT) become more dominant, which shortens the hair’s growth phase, shrinks follicles, and produces thinner, weaker. The result? Slower growth, more shedding, and a loss of volume or “spread out” thinning on the scalp. It’s no surprise that these changes can be distressing – hair loss in women is less socially acceptable and can severely impact confidence and quality of life.

While medical causes (thyroid issues, etc.) should be ruled out, menopause-related hair thinning is extremely common. The good news is that understanding the cause means we can target it. Hormonal hair loss in women is multi-factorial, but one key factor is that pesky hormone byproduct DHT (dihydrotestosterone).

DHT is known to bind to hair follicles and shrink them, leading to shorter, finer hairs. This plays a role in female pattern hair loss, especially when oestrogen (which normally helps keep hair in its growth phase) declines during menopause.

Beyond hormones, age-related changes and nutrient deficiencies can also make matters worse. (For example, low iron, zinc or vitamin levels can exacerbate shedding.) All of these factors combined create the perfect storm for thinning, brittle hair in mid-life.

Can Nutritional Supplements Help Menopausal Hair Loss?

We often turn to special shampoos or topical treatments for thinning hair, but research shows that nourishing your hair from within can be a game-changer. Hair is made of a protein called keratin, and your body needs certain vitamins (like biotin) and minerals to build it.

If you’re lacking those nutrients, your hair can suffer – in one study, 38% of women with hair loss were found to be biotin deficient.

Even if outright vitamin deficiencies are uncommon, ensuring optimal levels of B vitamins, zinc, iron, vitamin D, and others is crucial for healthy hair growth. (It’s been observed that women going through menopause are at higher risk of vitamin D deficiency and hair loss, among other issues. So, filling the nutritional gaps can help give follicles the fuel they need to grow stronger hair.

Beyond correcting deficiencies, certain supplements go a step further by targeting hormonal hair loss. Nutraceuticals (natural supplements with active ingredients) for hair have improved dramatically in recent years. In fact, a 6-month placebo-controlled study in menopausal women showed that those taking a specialised hair growth supplement had significantly higher hair counts and 32% less shedding compared to those taking a placebo.

That’s a remarkable reduction in hair fall achieved simply by a daily pill! This and other studies suggest that the right blend of vitamins, antioxidants, and botanical extracts can create a healthier scalp environment and even counteract some hormonal effects on the hair follicle. While results vary by individual, many women see real improvements in thickness and reduced hair loss after a few months on a quality supplement.

This is where Glowwa Hair Food Meno comes in.

Rather than a temporary cosmetic fix, it’s a supplement designed to work from the inside out – exactly the approach that shows promise for menopausal hair concerns. By providing targeted nutrients and herbal actives, Glowwa Meno aims to tackle the root causes of thinning hair during menopause (nutrient shortages, hormone imbalances, aging) head-on. Let’s dig into what this product is and how it works.

What Is Glowwa Hair Food Meno?

Glowwa Hair Food | MENO is a menopause-specific hair supplement created to help women maintain healthy hair before, during, and after menopause. It was developed by Glowwa, a UK-based brand specialising in science-backed hair nutrition. (Glowwa was founded by Suzanne Cooper, a nutritional therapist who formulated these supplements after facing her own hair loss struggle – so there’s a personal story behind the science.)

The Meno version of Glowwa’s “Hair Food” supplement is tailored to the needs of women going through hormonal changes. According to Glowwa, menopause can really take a toll on your hair, which is exactly why they created a dedicated Meno formula to “protect and restore hair health during menopausal years”glowwa.com. Importantly, they’ve also added ingredients to support overall wellness (because menopause affects more than just your hair).

So what’s inside the pretty pastel purple jar? Glowwa Hair Food Meno is packed with vitamins, phytonutrients, antioxidants, and natural DHT blockers – all the good stuff to nourish hair from within and combat hormonal hair thinning. Each bottle contains 60 capsules (a one-month supply) and is 100% vegan, cruelty-free, and free from gluten, dairy, artificial colorings or flavourings.

You won’t find any random “filler” ingredients; Glowwa uses a clean formula with only active nutrients. The supplement comes in easy-to-take capsules (just two a day), making it simple to fit into your routine – no messy topical treatments required.

Glowwa Meno’s formula is truly comprehensive. It’s not just another high-dose biotin pill or a basic multivitamin – it combines multiple hair-friendly nutrients in clinically-informed proportions. By addressing various factors (from follicle strength to hormone regulation to stress and fatigue), this one supplement can replace a whole shelf of individual vitamins. And while it’s designed with menopausal women in mind, Glowwa Meno is beneficial before menopause (for those in perimenopause or early thinning) and beyond menopause to keep hair strong as you age.

(Fun fact: even some men have used Glowwa Meno and seen benefits, because the core nutrients for hair growth overlap for anyone – but Glowwa also has a separate “Mens” formula with added saw palmetto for male hair loss). In short, Glowwa Hair Food Meno is a targeted nutritional supplement – think of it as "food" for your hair and scalp, with an extra boost for hormonal balance and overall vitality.

Glowwa Hair Food Meno – a daily supplement of vitamins and plant extracts to support healthy hair before, during and beyond menopause. Each jar contains a one-month supply (60 capsules).

How Does It Work? (Key Ingredients & Benefits)

Glowwa Meno works by flooding your body with the nutrients and plant compounds that your hair follicles need to thrive – especially in the face of menopausal hormonal changes. Here are some of its key ingredients and how they help:

• Biotin (Vitamin B7) & Vitamin B12: These B-vitamins are crucial for hair structure. Biotin is needed to produce keratin, the protein that makes up hair strands.
  

• Together, biotin and B12 also boost the scalp’s blood circulation and improve oxygen supply to hair follicles, helping new hair grow in stronger. (Biotin is so important that although biotin deficiency is rare, when it does occur it causes hair thinning and loss. By ensuring you have plenty of biotin, Glowwa helps guard against one hidden cause of hair shedding.
  

• Zinc & L-Lysine: Zinc is a mineral and L-lysine is an amino acid – and both are hair heroes. They work together to strengthen the hair follicles (the roots) and have been shown to reduce excessive hair loss in those with deficiencies. Zinc is involved in tissue growth and repair (your follicles need it to stay healthy), and it also helps regulate hormones (including thyroid) that can impact hair. It’s known that low zinc can lead to hair shedding, so Glowwa Meno includes zinc to keep your levels optimal. L-lysine, meanwhile, is an essential building block of keratin and also aids in iron absorption (important since iron deficiency can contribute to hair loss). By fortifying the follicle structure, this combo can help your hair stay anchored and growing despite hormonal shifts.
  

• MSM & Niacin (Vitamin B3): MSM is an organic sulfur compound and a popular supplement for hair, skin, and joints. Sulfur is a key component of keratin, so MSM provides the raw material for stronger, more resilient hair shafts. It’s also thought to boost scalp blood flow and collagen production. Niacin (B3) improves scalp circulation and health, too. Glowwa’s formula leverages these to enhance the scalp environment for growth. Think of this as optimizing the soil for your hair “garden” – a healthier scalp means healthier hair. Users often report new baby hairs and faster growth after a couple months on these ingredients, likely because their follicles are getting better nourishment.
  

• Vitamin C & Vitamin E: These antioxidants are included to protect your hair follicles from oxidative stress (which can accelerate hair aging and loss). Vitamin C also boosts iron absorption and is needed for collagen synthesis – the scalp’s blood vessels and hair-supporting tissues rely on collagen. Meanwhile, Vitamin E improves circulation and has been linked to improved hair growth in people with scalp oxidative stress. Together, they keep your scalp and follicles in good shape and guard against environmental damage. Vitamin C in Glowwa also ensures that all those B-vitamins and minerals are properly absorbed by your body maximising the supplement’s effectiveness.
  

• Vitamin B6 & Folate: These B vitamins play a role in hormonal balance and cell growth. Vitamin B6 in particular contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity, which is crucial during menopause. By supporting neurotransmitter and hormone synthesis, B6 may help ease some menopausal symptoms (mood swings, fatigue) that indirectly affect hair health. Folate (B9) aids in healthy cell division – including the rapidly dividing cells in hair follicles. Glowwa Meno’s inclusion of B6 and folate helps ensure your body can cope with hormonal fluctuations and still provide nutrients to your hair roots. Many users note improved energy and mood thanks to B6 and B12, which can be a nice bonus!
  

• Natural DHT Blockers (e.g. Plant Extracts): Uniquely, Glowwa Meno also contains natural plant extracts that act as DHT blockers.. DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is the hormone byproduct that, as mentioned, causes follicles to shrink and hairs to miniaturize. Ingredients like saw palmetto or pumpkin seed extract (found in Glowwa’s men’s formula) are known DHT blockers; in the Meno formula, Glowwa uses phyto-nutrients like lycopene (from tomato) which emerging research suggests may also help modulate DHT. By blocking the conversion of testosterone to DHT, these ingredients help protect the follicles from hormonal damage. This means Glowwa Meno is not only feeding the hair you have, but also helping to safeguard new growth from the hormonal triggers of thinning.

All together, Glowwa Hair Food Meno’s ingredients tackle the problem from every angle – strengthening hair structure, improving scalp health, boosting growth, and balancing hormones. The formula is also free from any artificial stimulants or drugs, so it works gently and holistically. And because it targets underlying causes of hair thinning, the longer you take it, the better results tend to get. Glowwa recommends taking the capsules daily for at least 3 months to really see the difference. (since hair growth cycles are slow and it takes time to revive dormant follicles). Many women choose a 3 or 6-month supply upfront for this reason. In the next section, we’ll look at the kind of results real users are seeing and why Glowwa Meno has earned some serious accolades.

Real Results: Does Glowwa Meno Really Work?

When you’re considering any hair growth product, the big question is: “Will this actually work for me?” While individual results vary, Glowwa Hair Food Meno has been impressing both experts and everyday users alike. It’s not an overnight miracle (no legit hair supplement is), but by Month 3 most people notice meaningful improvements. For example, in a consumer trial of Glowwa’s original Hair Food formula, 96% of users experienced less hair shedding and fuller-feeling hair.

Those kinds of numbers are on par with some clinical hair loss treatments, which is amazing for a natural supplement.

But you don’t just have to take Glowwa’s word for it. Beauty editors and trichologists have also given it a thumbs-up. Glowwa Hair Food Meno was named “Best Hair Supplement for Menopause Support” in Marie Claire’s 2025 Hair Awards – a huge honour, considering how many products it beat out. Industry recognition like that shows that professionals see real value in this product for addressing menopausal hair woes. Glowwa as a brand has actually won over 16 awards for its hair supplements in the last few years, including “Best Hair Growth Supplement” overall. It’s quickly becoming a trusted name in hair wellness, used in top salons and recommended by hairdressers who’ve seen the results first-hand.

Perhaps most convincing are the stories from women who’ve tried Glowwa Meno. One reviewer from The Independenttested Glowwa’s supplements for 3+ months after experiencing severe postpartum shedding. She reported that she was “pleasantly surprised by the speed of [hair] thickness, re-growth and reduced shedding in just three months”, and said it’s a “yes from me” as to whether she’d recommend them.

Now, postpartum hair loss is a bit different from menopause, but both involve hormonal swings – and the fact that she saw such improvements bodes well for Glowwa’s effectiveness. Our own clients and stylists at Hair in the City have been trialing Glowwa Meno and the reviews have been glowing (pun intended).

Consistent feedback includes: less hair coming out in the brush, new baby hairs filling in thinning areas, and even improvements in energy and skin glow as a nice side effect. It’s common for clients to come back excited that their ponytail feels thicker or that they’re not seeing as much hair in the shower drain.

It’s important to set realistic expectations: you might not wake up with Rapunzel-like tresses, and results do take a couple of months to kick in. The changes often start subtly – maybe you shed a bit less, or your hair feels stronger at the roots – and then build over time.

Photographs (or our in-salon microscope scalp analysis) often show the density of hairs improving after a course of Glowwa. Another big plus is the reduction in breakage; many women report their hair doesn’t snap as easily and even their nails get stronger (thanks to all that biotin and collagen support).

Overall, Glowwa Meno helps turn back the clock on hair aging, giving you healthier, more resilient hair that can better withstand the menopausal hormone rollercoaster. And if you’re also dealing with fatigue or mood dips, the B-vitamins and nutrients in Glowwa might give you a welcome boost there, too - it truly aims to support your whole self during menopause, not just your hair.

How to Use Glowwa Meno for Best Results

Using Glowwa Hair Food Meno is straightforward. Take two capsules per day, ideally in the morning with food (this helps absorption). Each bottle contains a 1-month supply (60 capsules). For most people, we recommend committing to at least a 12-week (3 month) course to give your body time to regenerate new hairs and strengthen existing ones. Remember, hair growth is a slow process – follicles operate on cycles of growth and rest.

So, while some may notice less shedding after a few weeks, real visible changes like new growth or improved thickness usually show up after a couple of months of consistency. Mark your calendar and take photos of your hair at the start, 3 months in, 6 months in, etc. – you’ll be glad to have the comparison. Many of our clients start to see the difference around the 8–12 week mark (the “shedding less, feeling thicker” phase), with continued improvement as they keep going.

It’s perfectly safe to use Glowwa Meno alongside other hair care products or treatments. Because it’s drug-free, you can pair it with topical solutions like minoxidil, scalp serums, or professional treatments if you wish. However, you may find that Glowwa alone does a lot of the heavy lifting. (If you’re on any medications or have specific health conditions, it’s wise to double-check with your doctor before starting any supplement regimen – though all the ingredients in Glowwa are generally regarded as very safe in the doses provided.)

Glowwa Meno is also designed to be gentle on the stomach – splitting the dose (one capsule in the morning, one at lunch) is an option if you find taking two at once doesn’t agree with you. But most people tolerate it well, especially when taken with a meal.

One more tip: consistency is key. Keep your Glowwa bottle somewhere visible (next to your coffee maker, or with your morning skincare) so you won’t forget your daily capsules. Try to take them around the same time each day. If you miss a day, no need to double up the next day – just resume your routine.

The nutrients build up their effect over time. After you’ve achieved your desired results, you can decide whether to continue daily or maybe maintain with a lower frequency – but many women love the additional benefits (better nails, more energy, etc.) so much that they stay on Glowwa as a daily wellness supplement long-term.
