Nutrafol

Nutrafol is an oral hair-growth supplement containing vitamins, minerals, and botanical ingredients intended to address factors associated with thinning hair, such as nutrition and stress. Limited research suggests it may modestly improve hair growth and thickness after several months, although it is relatively expensive and is not an FDA-approved hair-loss medication.

Nutrafol costs about twice as much per month as Viviscal. It’s difficult to determine how much benefit comes from either supplement when combined with other hair-loss treatments, although there is some limited supporting research. Nutrafol requires four capsules daily, but the capsules are easier to swallow than Viviscal’s two tablets.
