The goal of this clinical trial is to test how safe and effective it is to improve hair growth using an active gummy and serum combination treatment when compared to an inactive treatment combination in women with self-perceived thinning hair. The main questions this trial aims to answer are: * to confirm using photograph analytics, how much hair growth has increased in a marked area when using active treatment versus inactive treatment, and * participants assessment and satisfaction with the hair growth using scaled assessments. Participants who qualify will be asked to complete 6 to 7 visits after voluntarily consent has been given. The study is divided into two parts. In Part A participants will be randomly given either active or inactive treatment to use over 3 months. After 3 months, all participants will enter Part B of the study and will be given active treatment to use over the final 6 months of the study.
In the study, participants will be asked to complete the following: * Provide basic personal information (including date of birth, gender, race and ethnicity) * Provide their medical/ surgical history and perform a medical exam (including but not limited to symptom-directed physical exam, skin type, vital signs, height, weight, laboratory assessments and pregnancy test collection) * Follow study rules such as avoiding certain medications and treatments * Provide information on any medications, treatments or reactions that started after the study began * Apply serum and take gummy treatment daily, including completing a treatment diary * Allow clinical assessments and documentation of the treatment, such as photography, hair density measurements, any reactions or side effects To qualify for this trial, participants must: * be a female adult between 28 to 65 years of age * have consistent self-perceived thinning hair. * give voluntary written consent * be willing to follow study instructions and complete study requirements, including maintaining current diet and hair care routine, not using non-approved lotions and creams on the treatments areas * allow photographs of the front and top area of the scalp * not be pregnant or breast feeding before and during the study and agree to use acceptable forms of birth control * confirm they are not sensitive to any of the study treatment ingredients A relatively small area will be shaved off-center and top of the scalp for a dot-tattoo placement and this marked area will be used for clinical assessments throughout the study. All photographs of the treatment area collected during the study will be used as study data. All participants have the right to refuse further participation in the study at any time.

RECRUITINGIncrease in hair density (hairs per cm²) measured as the within-subject change from baseline to Month 3, assessed via Canfield HairMetrix® phototrichogram analyses.
Quantitative hair measurements calculated by analyzing the participants digital images.
Time frame: an average of 3 months
Increase in hair density (hairs per cm²) Measured as the within-subject change from baseline to Month 9, assessed via Canfield HairMetrix® phototrichogram analyses.
Quantitative hair measurements calculated by analyzing the participants digital images.
Time frame: Up to 9 months
Participant self-assessment of hair growth and satisfaction, collected via validated questionnaires.
Observations and changes noted in hair loss graded on a scale of 0 to 4, with 0 as none and 4 as a very severe outcome. Observations and changes noted in quality of life based on hair loss, outcomes graded between extremely affected and not at all.
Time frame: Up to 9 months
Increase in hair density as measured by SOCAi
Changes to the appearance of hair will be captured using the SOCAi system.
Time frame: Up to 9 months
Improvements in hair quality (e.g., thickness, strength) and volume, evaluated by blinded investigator assessments
Observations and changes noted in hair quality graded on a scale of -3 to +3, with -3 as greatly worsened/ decreased, 0 as no change and +3 as significantly increased/ improved.
