Root Causes
Address root causes,
not symptoms.
Your hair is a window into what’s going on inside your body. That’s why we target key root causes of thinning.
Both physical and emotional stress (think: giving birth or a demanding job) can cause cortisol, a stress hormone, to signal your hair follicles to shift prematurely out of the growth phase into the rest phase and accelerate hair shedding.
A poor diet (think: high in sugar, low in protein) or compromised gut microbiome can lead to nutrient gaps—which leaves your hair follicles without the nourishment they need.
Changes in hormones that come with aging can make your body more susceptible to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which can cause the hair follicle to shrink and eventually close entirely.
Your surroundings, the products you use, and the foods you eat can weaken the health of the hair follicle by introducing toxins into your body and depleting antioxidant stores. This can result in damaged hair that is weak, brittle, and breaking.
Your metabolism influences how follicles receive nutrients and signals your body to provide energy to grow hair. Breakage and hair that is having trouble growing can be a sign of a slow metabolism.
As you get older, your scalp loses collagen and elastin, which means your scalp isn't as strong as it used to be and has a harder time holding onto hair. This leads to weaker hair that can't grow as long.

Lifestage
Tailored to you, wherever
you are in life.
Your body and hair will change based on your life stage and lifestyle. Our formulas are uniquely tailored to support you where you are and with what you and your hair need most.
A busy lifestyle can lead to stress, a root cause shown to make hair follicles shift from a growth state to a rest state. If not addressed, the follicle may receive a signal to prematurely stop growing, impacting the health of your hair and resulting in shedding.
Skipping meals, or eating too much sugar or not enough protein, can lead to nutrition gaps that affect hair. Without key nutrients or proper absorption, your hair follicles don’t get the nourishment they need.
Lack of sleep, the type of deodorant you use, and overstyling your hair are all factors that can weaken the health of the hair follicle by introducing toxins into your body and depleting antioxidant stores.
Throughout life, our hormones are ever-changing, shifting, and sometimes off balance. The impacts of these fluctuations can show up in hair.
Changes in metabolism—caused by aging or diet—can shorten the hair growth phase, inhibiting its ability to grow in the natural hair cycle.
Starting in our 20s, the effects of aging on hair become noticeable. Aging can cause thinning and shedding, and can affect the overall health of hair.
Your hair is primarily affected by stress, imbalanced diets, not getting enough sleep, overstyling hair, shifting hormones, and everything else that comes with leading a busy life.
Your hair is affected by the nutrient gaps specific to plant-based diets, as well as stress, not getting enough sleep, overstyling hair, shifting hormones, and everything else that comes with leading a busy life.
As you get older, your metabolism slows and you lose collagen and elastin. During menopause, your body becomes even more susceptible to imbalances of the DHT hormone, and your stress resilience decreases.
Through pregnancy, elevated estrogen and progesterone makes hair look long, thick, and voluminous. Postpartum hormonal changes, along with sleep deprivation, imbalanced diets, and the stress of caring for a newborn all exacerbate the (very normal) experience of postpartum hair thinning.
Understanding your life stage is just the beginning. Everything from what you eat to the products you apply to your body can affect your hair. Our Hair Wellness Boosters and Scalp Care can provide extra support where you need it most.

Ingredients
No drugs, no additives, no nonsense—just powerful ingredients.
Our priority is your hair and your well-being. That’s why we’re relentless about sourcing vitamins, minerals, and natural ingredients that are clinically tested, standardized, and bioavailable so that they work without harming your overall health.
Sensoril Ashwagandha
An adaptogen that helps balance stress hormones to support a healthy hair growth cycle.²
Curcumin
An active ingredient found in Turmeric, this supercharged antioxidant addresses multiple root causes of hair thinning and is 500x more potent than Turmeric alone.³
Marine Collagen Peptides
Peptides provide the building blocks of strong hair and deliver moisture to the scalp.⁴
Moldavian Dragonhead
A plant extract clinically shown to promote natural collagen production in the body.⁵
Maca
Provides hormonal support through peri- and postmenopause and helps block DHT, a hormone that shrinks hair follicles and leads to progressive hair thinning.⁶
Shatavari
An adaptogen that targets physical and emotional stress to help balance the body for a healthy hair growth cycle.⁷
DHA Omega 3-s
Found in algae, these fatty acids help the body recover from physical stress to promote healthy hair.⁸
What sets ours apart?
Exclusive to Nutrafol, Sensoril® Ashwagandha is wild-harvested in India using sustainable practices While most Ashwagandha extracts come from the root of the plant, ours is extracted from the root and leaves for a higher concentration of actives that absorbs more quickly and easily into the body.
What sets ours apart?
Traditionally and organically harvested to minimize environmental waste. We use a patented extraction method that extends the length of Curcumin's bioactivity in the body, which allows it time to effectively target root causes of hair thinning.
What sets ours apart?
Our Marine Collagen Peptides are sustainably sourced from wild-caught fish that live in the cleanest ocean waters of the North Atlantic, then upcycled from the scales of the fish. They are then processed to be a specific size that the body can absorb quickly and use immediately to support healthy hair.
What sets ours apart?
Collagen plays an important role in your hair health. Plant-based diets, in particular, are susceptible to deficiencies in this area, since they don’t include animal byproducts. Unlike other options on the market that simply remove Collagen, our formula includes Moldavian Dragonhead to naturally optimize the body to support its own collagen production.1
What sets ours apart?
Sustainably grown in the mountains of Peru and harvested only once a year to minimize environmental impact. The Maca root is organically processed into an ingestible form that supports hormonal balance.
What sets ours apart?
We’ve partnered with small family farms in the low altitudes of India that focus on regenerative agriculture to replenish the soil and earth after harvesting. Each root is carefully hand-harvested—an extensive process that can take an hour per plant—using sustainable growing and fair trade practices to ensure the Shatavari is not over-harvested.
What sets ours apart?
Ours is the highest load Omega-3 powder in the industry with 3-5x higher bioavailability and rapid absorption. It’s harvested from microalgae using a unique fermentation process that requires just two raw materials: algae and sugar. All products of this process are used as a protein source or converted for electricity production, creating zero waste.
Responsibly sourced ingredients that deliver powerful results.
