There is a difference between simple hair nutrition vitamins vs. standardized nutraceuticals like Nutrafol. Not all products are created equal. Nutrafol's Hair Growth Nutraceuticals include ingredients that are standardized to provide consistent potency in every serving, concentrated to specific clinically effective servings, bioavailable for absorption and efficacy in the body and responsibly sourced for exceptional quality.

Nutrafol’s Hair Growth Nutraceuticals take a whole-body approach to hair health and are designed for the bio-specific needs of men and women throughout different life stages and lifestyles. Our physician-formulated nutraceuticals include over 20 vitamins, minerals and natural ingredients that are clinically tested to address key root causes of hair thinning. Hair growth takes time and by addressing key root causes such as hormones, stress, nutrition, aging, metabolism and lifestyle you can expect improved hair growth in 3-6 months.

Our Hair Growth Nutraceuticals are clinically tested and physician-formulated to the bio-specific needs of men and women through all life stages and lifestyles. Key root causes of thinning hair affect men and women differently and can change over time—so we created multiple formulas to give your hair exactly what it needs when it needs it most.

Women’s formula focuses on addressing key root causes of hair thinning for women 18-44 years old when stress, lifestyle habits and nutrition play a heightened role in hair health.

Women’s Vegan is physician-formulated for women 18-44 with key root causes of thinning focusing on stress and lifestyle habits; plus, it is optimized to support a plant-based diet’s nutrition and absorption of nutrients in the body that affect hair health.

Women’s Balance is physician-formulated for women 45+ to support key root causes of hair thinning for women, such as stress, with optimized support for hormonal changes, such as menopause, that affect hair health.

Postpartum is OBGYN-developed to address key root causes of hair thinning and shedding for women within the first year of giving birth and through the time they are breastfeeding when physical and emotional stress, hormonal changes and nutritional support play a heightened role in hair health.

Nutrafol Hair Growth Nutraceuticals are best taken as 4 capsules, all at once, once per day, with a meal. We suggest this meal includes some healthy fat, as Nutrafol Hair Growth Nutraceuticals contain fat-soluble vitamins that absorb better when taken with dietary fats.

While most balanced meals naturally include some fat, you can easily incorporate healthy fat with a drizzle of olive oil, a slice of avocado, or a spoonful of nut butter.

Yes! Seeing results is a positive thing, but many of the ingredients in Nutrafol Hair Growth Nutraceuticals need to be taken consistently to keep showing you those results and to continue targeting those key root causes of hair thinning.

The short answer is it depends, as hair thinning can be multifactorial. When we're young, our follicles can contain multiple hairs at once. As we age, our follicles can shrink and lose hair as each life cycle completes. Over time, some of these follicles go dormant. Some of those follicles will die and be replaced by shiny, smooth skin. Those that are still viable have the potential for growth.

This is where Nutrafol can be helpful in your hair health journey. When taken as directed, Nutrafol Hair Growth Nutraceuticals can support hair health at the follicle level by targeting multiple key root causes of hair thinning.

By targeting these internal changes that can impact the hair growth cycle, you will begin to nourish the body and strengthen the internal hair follicle, which can promote a healthy hair growth cycle for stronger, healthier-looking hair, and less shedding. As you continue to address key root causes of thinning from within, you can support a lengthened hair growth cycle, and we begin to see visibly improved hair growth, thickness, and volume.

As the hair growth cycle lengthens and you continue to infuse your body with hair­ building nutrients, you'll start to see progressive improvement in growth and healthier hair that is growing faster with less breakage and improved texture.

This depends on which products you're taking. For your Hair Growth Nutraceutical, anytime is a good time to take it as long as you pair it up with food for best results. By choosing one meal a day, sticking with it, and taking all 4 capsules at once, you'll be less likely to forget. If you're also taking a Hair Wellness Booster, please take a look at the directions on the bottle.

Nutrafol Hair Growth Nutraceuticals contain fat-soluble vitamins, which absorb better when taken with healthy fat. You can get that easily with a meal, slice of avocado, or spoonful of nut butter.

We recognize that consuming supplements daily can be difficult, at times, particularly when beginning a new routine. If you miss a day or skip a few, get right back into your Nutrafol routine. Consistency over time is important, and although missing a day may minimally or not hinder results, missing days consistently can impact how effective Nutrafol Hair Growth Nutraceuticals may be for you.

Our products are best stored in a cool, dry place. In addition, a desiccant insert is included in the Hair Growth Nutraceutical glass bottle and refill pouch to protect your capsules from any moisture.

If you are taking our Hair Growth Nutraceuticals containing biotin, consuming an additional Biotin supplement may not be necessary. While biotin is a component of hair, skin, and nails, biotin supplementation alone has not been shown to be effective in promoting hair growth. While evidence to support that excess biotin (5,000+ mcg) well above normal limits improves hair growth is scanty at best, supplementing with biotin is generally considered safe. However, in 2017 and 2019, the FDA put out warnings that excessively high biotin consumption can cause false lab results, and it is now generally recommended that patients who have consumed 5,000-10,000 mcg of biotin wait a minimum of 8 hours before having blood collected for laboratory tests. Additionally, we recommend you consult with your doctor about waiting a minimum of 72 hours hours before having blood collected for laboratory tests if you have a thyroid condition.

As with any new supplement regimen, consult your trusted healthcare provider for specific questions and concerns or are taking medications.

A clinical study, clinical trial, or clinical research study is an investigation conducted to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and/or product-related adverse reactions of a product, therapy, device, or diagnostic test. Nutrafol conducts clinical studies to show the effectiveness of our final product formulations, something that is not required in the dietary supplement industry. As experts in hair biology and key root causes that affect hair health, Nutrafol shares our clinical study results with the scientific community through peer-reviewed publications and presents our findings at prominent dermatological and medical conferences.

Although the FDA does not require clinical studies for dietary supplements, Nutrafol prioritizes and invests in clinical studies so that we can put our products to the test in real people.All clinical studies on Nutrafol products are conducted by independent clinical research centers, approved by an institutional review board, and in compliance with Good Clinical Practice​. Furthermore, disclosures for all authors are always clearly stated in all publications, ensuring full transparency and ethical responsibility. Our studies are statistically powered to have a sufficient number of subjects to be able to detect a significant difference based on the preset endpoints used by researchers and dermatologists. Moreover, we have multiple clinical studies published on our Women’s Hair Growth Supplement, as well as completed, published, and/or ongoing studies on all of our other Hair Growth Nutraceuticals.

Nutrafol’s rigorous clinical testing includes various types of clinical studies, each of which is utilized for a specific scientific purpose. Our studies are designed with clinical and scientific experts, according to accepted research standards and the most up-to-date techniques available.

A publication refers to an article or research paper that has been written and submitted for public dissemination, typically in a scientific or academic context. Publications are important because they allow researchers to share their findings with the broader scientific community, contributing to the advancement of knowledge, research, and expertise in their field. Peer review is a critical process that ensures the quality and reliability of publications. Peer review involves the evaluation of the article by experts (peers) in the same field as the author(s) of the paper. These experts assess the validity, significance, and originality of the research before it can be published. It verifies the credibility and accuracy of the study's design, findings, and final interpretation before they are shared with the scientific community and the public. Peer-reviewed publications are considered more credible and reputable, as compared to non-peer-reviewed papers, because their content has been vetted by experts. This helps readers and researchers trust the validity and reliability of the information presented.

Statistically significant means that the results of a study have been analyzed by appropriate statistical tests and indicate that the outcome was unlikely to have occurred just by chance. This is crucial in scientific research because it helps determine whether findings are reliable, versus a random occurrence.
