Gelagen Notes
Thirteen pieces about the parts of this subject that have nothing to do with a jar. Nothing here routes back to the order button and several of them argue against buying things.
What This Section Is For
Our product pages describe a product. This section covers everything else: how to read a label, why hair sheds, what a barrier actually is, when to stop reading and see a doctor, and the honest ranking of everything that affects skin.
Some of these pieces argue against buying supplements, including ours. The sun article puts our own product below sunscreen, sleep and not smoking, and the labels piece explains exactly what refusing a proprietary blend costs us. A brand that only tells you what to buy is not worth reading.

Where To Begin
If you are about to buy any supplement, ours included, read the serving size piece and why we print the numbers first. They will change which jar you pick up.
If something on your skin or scalp has changed recently, start with when to book an appointment and why hair sheds.
If you have already ordered, what to do with your first jar is the practical one, and where to keep it will save you a fused jar in August.
