"Nutrient" + "bioactive" = "Nutraceutical". Nutraceuticals are natural, bio-optimized ingredients—which is exactly what you'll find in our hair growth supplements along with vitamins and minerals. They're standardized to contain guaranteed amounts of bioactive phytonutrients, and tested for efficacy and safety in clinical studies showing specific bioactivities, health benefits, and growth improvements. We took the extra step to patent our Nutraceutical ingredient blend, too.

Nutrafol products were formulated to promote hair growth and hair wellness for all types of hair. While the characteristics of hair strands may vary by ethnicity, underlying root causes that affect hair follicles can affect all people equally. In a recent clinical study, we examined the effectiveness of Nutrafol in African American, Asian, Hispanic, and non-Hispanic men and women. All ethnicities saw less shedding after 2 months and improved thickness, growth rate, scalp coverage, and shine after 6 months of taking our Hair Growth Nutraceuticals.

No, Nutrafol is 100% drug-free.

Our clinical studies saw no reported side effects. You know, aside from the good stuff like better sleep quality.

No! In fact, part of the inspiration behind Nutrafol was that one of our founders was seeking an alternative approach for his own hair growth issues after experiencing years of sexual dysfunction caused by other therapies. Nutrafol is made with vitamins, minerals, and natural ingredients that is 100% drug free.

Excess DHT, one of the root causes of hair thinning, can not only shrink scalp follicles, but it can also cause hair to show up in places you'd rather it not. Saw Palmetto, one of our most important ingredients, has been shown to reduce the conversion of testosterone to DHT to keep hair growing on your head—and nowhere else.

Yes, Nutrafol Hair Growth Nutraceuticals are NSF Certified for Sport® to show our commitment to upholding high-quality and safety standards.

NSF’s intensive evaluation process and testing ensure that only high-quality products earn their Certified for Sport® mark. Deeply rooted in science, NSF is widely recognized as the “gold standard” in third-party certification with a rigorous testing protocol for additional quality assurance, including testing against 290+ athletic banned substances, heavy metals, and pesticides, label claim verification and manufacturing facility audits ensuring the FDA’s Good Manufacturing Practices are met.

The Certified for Sport® certification is the only independent third-party certification program recognized by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), Major League Baseball, the National Hockey League and the Canadian Football League. Certified for Sport® is also recommended by the NFL, NBA, PGA, LPGA, CCES, CPSDA, iNADO, Ironman, NASCAR, Taylor Hooton Foundation and many other organizations seeking to mitigate the risks of contaminated dietary supplements.

The FDA has regulatory oversight for dietary supplements, including responsibility for dietary supplement claims, labeling, and manufacturing. However, unlike drugs, there is no formal FDA prior review and approval process before supplements are sold. Nutrafol supplements are manufactured in the U.S. using domestic and imported ingredients in a Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) certified facility compliant with 21CFR111 for Dietary Supplements and applicable parts of 21CFR117 for Foods, as required by the FDA. GMPs are a set of FDA requirements that outline manufacturing processes and procedures to ensure the purity, strength, and identification of our Nutraceuticals and give you the assurance that Nutrafol products contain exactly what is written on the label.

We recommend speaking to your healthcare provider if you have questions about Nutrafol supplements with other dietary supplements or over-the-counter and prescription medications. When it comes to topical treatments, you’re welcome to continue with products that are currently working for you. As always, if you are on prescription medications, we recommend talking to your doctor before starting any new dietary supplement, including Nutrafol supplements.

While we can’t change your genetics, we can support your body and buffer the effects of dihydrotestosterone (DHT)—the primary hormone that triggers hair thinning in genetically predisposed individuals. Saw Palmetto, an ingredient in Nutrafol Hair Growth Nutraceutical, provides concentrated fatty acids that reduce the conversion of testosterone to DHT to help improve hair growth.
