Nutrafol vs Viviscal: What's The Best For Thinning Hair

[@JoeCannon1]

See the Viviscal Review: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIHbnHt9hsiqZ7M

[@mrsc1742]

I have very very very thin hair...lol. After taking Nutrafol for 5-6 months I did notice my hair was becoming slightly thicker. Nothing I could make a commercial about; however, there was a slight change. Then life happened and I stopped taking them for a month and any improvement was lost. Everyone is different and will see different results. Nutrafol definitely works; however, it is a slow and expensive process.

[@JoeCannon1]

Mrs C thank you for commenting. Have you ever tried viviscal? Its less expensive and has more clinical trials. Several have told me viviscal worked for them.

[@pebbles7864]

I’ve taken both. I took Viviscal for more than a year and I sadly did not get results I’ve been taking Nutrafol for almost a year and after 8 months I did get some noticeable regrowth. I am 58 yr. old Caucasian women with baby fine, thin, see thru hair. I appreciate any improvement I get. That said, my renal panel was not great when I had labs done at around 9 months so I have cut back on the dose to 2 or sometimes 3 caps a day and I miss a day here and there thruout the month. I have recently added minoxidil five percent once a day and plan to stick with it. Hairloss is not a quick fix by any means. Fifty years ago any improvement was unheard of.

[@JoeCannon1]

Beverly, I do think the minoxidil will help. Do you or your doctors think your kidney function decline was due to Nutrafol?

[@pebbles7864]

@@JoeCannon1 My general practitioner says “yes” I stopped taking them for about 6 weeks and had my renal panel rechecked and it was much improved. My family has a history of kydney problems so this might only be an issue which would pertain to me. I did read somewhere that taking 4 caps a day is only needed for the first 6 months and your physician an taper the dose from there however I never followed up with my dermatologist as I started to purchase these online. Thankfully there was no permanent damage and I don’t expect any further issues.

[@JoeCannon1]

Beverly, glad to hear your kidney function has improved. There is some evidence vitamin D can harm the kidneys in high doses but nutrafol does'nt contain what I call a lot. Its about 2500 IU, similar to what some vitamin D supplements contain. Either way the important thing is you are doing better now. I am pleased :)

[@moni1952]

I have been using viviscal for over a year. My edges were almost gone. I have to say that my edges are still thin after taking viviscal, but I can see that my edges are getting longer. I wish they would get fuller, but it's a lot better than they were a year ago.

[@JoeCannon1]

Moni, Thank you for sharing that. I'm glad to hear Vviscal has been working for you :)

It worked in one week for my friend who was losing alot of hair due to COVID

wow, that is great news, Tracy!!

[@OceanluvOC]

I took Nutrafol for 3 months and no difference. It was expensive so when I didn’t see any difference after 3 months I stopped buying it. Maybe I should have given it 6 months.

[@JoeCannon1]

SoCal RockerGal, My guess is 3 months may not have been long enough. Given the price, have you looked at Viviscal? It's less expensive. Many have told me it has helped their hair after3-6 months of use. Here is my Viviscal Review kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIHbnHt9hsiqZ7M

If saw palmetto would be the key ingredient in NUTRAFOL what would be the key ingredient in VIVISCAL ?

They call it the amino mar complex. Heres the viviscal video kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIHbnHt9hsiqZ7M

I have been on nutrafol for about 8 months and I can see huge difference but I'm looking at viviscal because I'm trying to see if I can find anything to offer mote help for my hairline. The nutrafol has made my hair fuller by a lot but I still have my hairline issues.

[@JoeCannon1]

from what Ive read most hair growth products work better on the top of the head but Im sure there are differences between people. See my hair growth playlist for the other hair growth supplements Ive reviewed. Let me know how viviscal worked for you.

[@julesavalon9061]

the dose for nutrafol is 4 tablets a day, viviscal is 2 a day.. Any thoughts on doing a half dose of each to get "the best of both worlds" i.e 2 nutrafol and 1 viviscal?

[@JoeCannon1]

Julian, I dont know if taking 1/2 dosage would have the same effects. I've never seen any studies on this.

[@bitamahgerefteh519]

Hi viviscal pro is better than viviscal which one is for hair loss. Please let me know thank you.

[@JoeCannon1]

Great question, Viviscal professional has 475 mg of another amino mar complex. The regular Viviscal has 450 mg. I have a full breakdown of the different types of my website if you want to see it. I would like to see clinical evidence proving the professional version works better. I dont recall seeing any.

[@bibit3856]

I’m surprised this video doesn’t have more views and likes. Thank you for the information! So valuable! Question ...should I take a multivitamin while taking nutrafol? Or ..is nutrafol a multivitamin? Are there any vitamins that I could or should add?

[@JoeCannon1]

Bibi, Nutrafol is not a multi vitamin. Its missing several vitamins and minerals. While you can get all of your vitamins and minerals from food, if you dont eat great all the time then an inexpensive multivitamin cant hurt. Dont spend a lot. More expensive multi vitamins are not better. Be careful with gummy multi vitamins as they can sometimes be low in some nutrients. Dont worry so much about "hair multi vitamins" either. a basic vitamin that gives you 100% of the daily value for most/all vitamins and minerals is fine. They are not expensive. Thanks for your comments. Feel free to share the video on social media :)

[@bibit3856]

@@JoeCannon1 Thanks again for your help. I do believe that there’s many different reasons for hair loss, everyone is different. My problem is poor nutrition... (I don’t eat enough, healthy but not enough...and if I’m sad or stressed...I don’t even taste the flavors of my food.). So this year I’m trying to eat more often, at the same hour each day ( this is important for me), and I’m definitely getting some multivitamins. Thanks so much, you are so kind.

[@JoeCannon1]

@@bibit3856 Definately it is complicated. lack of calories and lack of protein as well as stress can cause hair loss. Have you had your thyroid tested? hypothyroidism can cause hair loss too. I hope Nutrafol and the other lifestyle changes you are doing will help. Keep me posted :)

[@summersadie3687]

Thank you for sharing such an informative and helpful video. I have used viviscal for a ~5 years. I noticed quite an improvement in reduced hair shedding, but that took around 9 months to happen! I still have bald patches above my ears and quite a bit of thinning on my crown so have considered taking nutrafol in the hope it would help those areas. I am hesitant, however, in stopping the viviscal in case nutrafol doesn't work as I don't want to have to start all over again with viviscal and have to wait another nine months for it to kick in. Do you think that replacing viviscal with nutrafol may result in resumed hair shedding? Do you see any concerns with taking both supplements at the same time - other than the high cost? Thanks for any suggestions you may have :)

[@JoeCannon1]

Hi Summer, Im not sure if Nutrafol + viviscal would work better than either would alone. Its possible but notoriety has looked into this yet. Im also not sure which would work better. At this point I do think viviscal has more proof. see my viviscal video for the before/after and research. I wish I had a cut and dry answer for you. If it helps, I think saw palmetto is the active ingredient in nutrafol. That herb costs a lot less. You cold try that and see what happens. Here is a brand that has both saw palmetto and beta sitosterol that is not expensive amzn.to/3m7JIEb If you try it, I hope you will let me know what happens.

Can you give an update? How are you doing on Viviscal comparative to Nutrafol? I’m currently trying to choose.

[@iaaeottg21]

From my experience, both of them are SHAMS. Used them both for a minimum of 6 months and you guessed it - Nothing i.e. no hair growth (no length or thickness). In fact, my hair shed like crazy!!! My hair is so thin now, I had to cut off approximately 4 inches to get rid of the split ends from the hair fall/shedding. Will never purchase again. And the Nutrafol was $88 per bottle alone. What a waste!.

Doesn’t Viviscal break your hair or thin you hair after you stop taking it? Like Rogaine?

Femora, these are supplements you'd have to take long term. While I dont remember seeing what happens when you stop taking viviscal or nutrafol, my hunch is any hair that grew back would eventually be lost.
