Viviscal vs Nutrafol for thinning hair?

Thank you for your question. Both Viviscal and Nutrafol are successful at treating hair thinning and we have carried both of these products in our office. Nutrafol, however, is more effective at not only provided the body with the nutrients needed but also addresses other issues that play a roll in hair loss like stress and hormones. I hope that helps answer your question.

Viviscal and Nutrafol are catching the attention of dermatologists and other docs who treat hair loss, because each of these supplements is now backed by research published in peer-reviewed medical journals. (Not just marketing studies!) They haven't been tested head-to-head  to see which may be most beneficial, but here are some things to consider: 1) These supplements are thought to be most helpful in male or female pattern hair loss (the genetic type called androgenetic alopecia), but are not necessarily helpful in other types of hair loss (there are many kinds). 2) Viviscal is a seafood based supplement, so shouldn't be used by those with seafood allergies or sensitivity. 3) Women pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid these because the safety profile in these times of life is not known. 4) If you try one of these supplements, mentally commit to at least 6 months, because hair growth takes time. If you don't notice improvement after 6 months, stop. If you do notice improvement, you may actually lose the gains you've made if you stop taking the supplements. 5) These supplements probably work best if you take them along with Rogaine / minoxidil as a topical therapy! Best wishes!
