"It contains hydrolyzed marine collagen as its core ingredient, plus saw palmetto, which is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that addresses androgenetic alopecia, ashwagandha to help with stress-related hair loss, and anti-inflammatory ingredients like curcumin. It addresses different root causes and can be genuinely complementary to your hair care routine, unlike taking a single ingredient biotin gummy at thousands of times the daily dose."

"Both Nutrafol and Viviscal have clinical studies behind them. They both have hydrolyzed marine collagen as their core ingredient. I like Nutrafol for people who are also dealing with stress-related hair loss cuz they have ingredients to support that as well. I would say that these are the two clinical-grade hair supplements that I recommend most often to my patients."

"Let's take my daily dose of Nutrafol. I love it. Honestly, the majority of supplements out there are just complete BS and there's really not a lot of science backing them. Nutrafol is the exception. I have seen so many different doctors and specialists recommend Nutrafol. The before and afters are incredible. I took Nutrafol and saw so many good benefits. I really need to start taking it again."

"Hair, skin, and nails vitamins like Nutrafol are some of the most common supplements marketed to you on Facebook and Instagram. I think there's a role for these to make sure your body isn't deficient in any of the essential vitamins or minerals that are important for growing hair. However, they tend to be quite expensive."

"There are a few vitamin supplements that I recommend to my patients if they ask me for recommendations that can potentially support their hair regrowth journey and that's Nutrafol and the Viviscal. Both of those do contain biotin but it's not the biotin that's actually helping. It's their proprietary blend of active ingredients that is supporting that hair regrowth."

"Depending on the type of hair loss you have you may only need to take it for a certain amount of time, but for more progressive hair loss like androgenetic hair loss it definitely is more of a long-term treatment so it can get pricey. But yeah, of all the hair loss supplements out there, Nutrafol is definitely one of the few brands I recommend."

Dermatologist Compares Nutrafol & Viviscal

"Nutrafol tends to work a little bit better, especially in patients that I have tried both. The feedback from my Dermatology colleagues and their patients is that it may be helpful for supporting hair growth and stress-related situations such as postpartum hair loss, hair loss after surgery, major illnesses, or COVID. Nutrafol does have a postpartum line that per their website is safe to take during lactation."

"Nutrafol is definitely one you've seen more for, but because of the inclusion of an ingredient called saw palmetto in their Syneren complex, this is generally thought to be unsafe during both pregnancy and breastfeeding. The risk in pregnancy is much stronger because it inhibits DHT and that would inhibit hormones and fetal development. Breastfeeding, the risk of absorption and passing on is probably a lot less, but it's still probably something you should avoid."

"Nutrafol includes 200 micrograms of selenium in their hair supplement, both their original one and the vegan one. [...] Be really careful if you're taking that, it recently was responsible for a case of serious liver failure, likely due to a combination of things in the formula, and so the 200 micrograms of selenium in there could also be dangerous for you."

The Dark Side Of The Supplement Industry

"Years ago I did a deep dive on the ingredients behind Nutrafol, whether they work. [...] At the start of 2025, the gastroenterology physician community is voicing concern for Nutrafol. There was a case report at the end of 2024 of a patient who developed extreme liver damage on Nutrafol, and her liver healed [...] once she stopped it. Her doctor pointed out that Nutrafol has multiple ingredients that could be damaging to the liver."

"The research just doesn't support that. I think a lot of people recommend supplements like Nutrafol because honestly I think a lot of it boils down to wanting to be able to offer something, but it's a slippery slope when there is such limited research behind these formulations. The other thing I will strongly caution against is biotin supplementation, which is often in these hair growth supplements."

DERMATOLOGIST REVIEWS NUTRAFOL FOR HAIR GROWTH @DrDrayzday

"But [...] my opinion of pursuing Nutrafol, especially without an accurate diagnosis of what you're dealing with, is that it's kind of like just throwing the kitchen sink of nutraceuticals at your scalp and hoping something sticks, without really knowing what, if anything, in the formula is actually necessary or beneficial for you. If you just want thicker hair and don't actually have hair loss, I'm not convinced Nutrafol will do that for you."

"I'm doing the Nutrafol supplements and I'm about 45 a little bit more than 45 days in and that's one of the big differences as well is that Nutrafol does not regrow your hair. It's just for longer stronger healthier hair. But again with my hair loss issues I'm trying to do as much as I can as quickly as I can to prevent losing my hair and then grow it back to what it used to be."

"I've had many patients over the years have success with Nutrafol. I've also had patients over the years who didn't find it helpful. So, it's something that may be worth trying. The [...] biggest downside of Nutrafol is that the pills are huge and you have to take four a day. And if you're someone where that's just one of the many supplements or other things you take, maybe it's not a big deal. But I feel like that is a dealbreaker for a lot of my patients."
