Question

Do hair growth pills need a heksher?

thank you.

Answer

 

Hello & Greetings

Pills that there taste is defective and are not for eating, but are taken orally, and made of a mixture of chemicals whatsoever, may be taken without heksher, since they are not fit for consumption, and a person does not consider them to be eaten but to be swollen.

However, dietary supplement pills that are edible on their own, or even pills that are not edible on their own, but are coated with any edible sweetener, should not be taken without heksher, but it will be possible to find out all the components of the pill to make sure that they are not prohibited.

Best regards

Rabbi David Ohayon

Attention: You should not learn from one case to another, each case must be analyzed individually. Generally speaking, it's always best to have contact with a Rabbi in person, not just virtual contact. Note that where there is a local Rabbi("Mara Deatra"), one should ask him. The answers are under the responsibility of the rabbi who responded, and not under the responsibility of the website and/or the Head of the Institution.
