Hair is more than 90% keratin, the structural protein that gives it strength and suppleness. When it runs short, the strand thins, breaks and loses vitality. Novoma’s Hair Formula delivers a particular type of keratin: KerPep®, a patented bioactive keratin hydrolysate made in France, dosed at 300 mg per 2 capsules.

Unlike raw keratin, KerPep® is hydrolysed into short peptides, more easily assimilated by the body. This bioactive form is designed to support the follicle, where hair is built — the signature of this course and what sets it apart from classic hair supplements.

Where many supplements rely on a single ingredient, Novoma has brought together seven complementary actives. Alongside keratin are L-cystine (200 mg) and L-methionine (100 mg), two sulphur-containing amino acids that are the natural building blocks of keratin. The L-cystine used comes from plant-based fermentation (Fermopure®), a guarantee of purity and traceability.

The formula also includes a rocket (arugula) extract (100 mg), zinc bisglycinate (10 mg), biotin — vitamin B8 — (100 µg, 200% NRV) and selenium (55 µg). Zinc and selenium contribute to the maintenance of normal hair, while biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and skin. Together, these actives support hair from root to tip.

This course is for anyone noticing seasonal or temporary shedding, stalled growth, or hair lacking density and shine. It’s particularly relevant at seasonal changes, after pregnancy, or during periods of fatigue when hair is often affected first.

Benefits aren’t immediate: hair grows on average one centimetre a month, so it takes time for the actives to work through the hair growth cycle — a course followed over several months gives the most visible, lasting results.

Take 2 capsules per day with a large glass of water, at any time of day, with or without a meal as you prefer. Each 60-capsule bottle covers a one-month course. For real results, Novoma recommends a course of at least 3 months, to support several growth cycles. The formula can be taken continuously, for example renewed at each seasonal change. For adult use only.

Not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Keep out of reach of young children. Store in a dry place away from heat and light.

How long before seeing results?

Hair grows about 1 cm per month. Allow at least 3 months of the course to observe stronger strands and denser hair — consistency is key.

What is the origin of KerPep® keratin?

KerPep® is a keratin derived from sheep’s wool, hydrolysed and manufactured in France to provide short peptides that are well assimilated by the body. The capsule itself is plant-based, and the formula remains gluten-free, GMO-free and additive-free.

How many capsules per day, and when?

2 capsules per day with a glass of water, at a time that suits you. One bottle covers a one-month course.

Can it be combined with other supplements?

Yes, it combines well with collagen or a beauty complex. Simply avoid stacking multiple sources of zinc or selenium without advice from a healthcare professional.
