Our Women’s formula is generally best for ages 18-44. Women’s Balance is boosted with additional hormone-supportive ingredients like Maca, Astaxanthin, and extra Saw Palmetto that are helpful through menopause or for ages 45+. Postpartum uses breastfeeding-friendly botanicals to address postnatal nutritional gaps and stress for hair growth and wellness through whole-body recovery post childbirth.

Results may vary across Women, Women’s Balance and Postpartum users.

For Women and Women’s Balance:

In our clinical study, women showed results in 3-6 months. Results may vary.

1-3 MonthsStrengthen hair from within. Look for shinier hair with less shedding and breakage.

3-6 MonthsYou may notice improvement in fullness and volume.

6+ MonthsExperience visible changes like faster-growing hair that’s thicker and stronger.

For Postpartum, every woman's hair journey is different after giving birth. At this time, estrogen and progesterone decline abruptly, while cortisol starts to increase drastically, igniting a shift in the hair growth cycle. Normally, the hair growth cycle resets after 6-15 months, but Nutrafol Postpartum was formulated to support recovery through this transition for better hair growth with natural ingredients during the first year after birth. These natural ingredients address and manage underlying imbalances in the body during the first three months of taking the product and beyond.*

*Results may vary.

Month 1 - Amino acids and adaptogens address the stress response, which can, in turn, support sleep and more energy.¹

Month 2 - Natural ingredients support a healthy, balanced mood now and through recovery.^2-4

Month 3-6 - Antioxidants are supporting hair health through this stage of excess shedding and providing clinically effective support for hair growth as well skin quality and hydration.^5-7

Note: depending on when you begin taking Nutrafol Postpartum, there may be a natural hair shed at 12 weeks post-childbirth. We assure you that this is a normal part of the postpartum experience and that by taking Nutrafol Postpartum, you are supporting your whole body to recover for better growth in the future.

For women, stress is a major root cause of poor hair growth. Hormones also play a significant role for women due to fluctuations throughout life, especially during and after childbirth when estrogen and progesterone decline and cortisol increases by over 200%. Follicles are also damaged by metabolic changes, nutritional deficits, and environmental exposure including overstyling, chemicals, and heat.

Nutrafol was formulated to promote hair growth for all types of hair. While the characteristics of hair strands may vary by ethnicity, the underlying root causes that affect hair follicles can affect all people equally.

In a recent clinical study, we examined the effectiveness of Nutrafol in African American, Asian, Hispanic, and Non Hispanic men and women. All ethnicities saw less shedding after two months and improved thickness, growth rate, scalp coverage, and shine after six months.

No. Facial and body hair are triggered by different factors than the hair on our head. Saw Palmetto helps combat DHT, which may actually prevent facial hair growth.

In short, we provide hair growth solutions that are personalized specifically for you and formulated with natural, 100% drug-free ingredients backed by clinical studies and published ingredient research, whereas many supplements are not clinically tested. Other supplements have variable potency and are poorly absorbed.

Nutrafol Postpartum was developed with an OBGYN using whole-food-sourced ingredients known to support lactation and to target root causes of postpartum thinning hair. All of our ingredients were chosen to help support recovery from nutrient depletion and the physical and emotional stress that can lead to thinning hair in postpartum women during a time when they are likely breastfeeding. They’re used within FDA-set doses for postpartum women with no ingredients found to be contraindicated in breastfeeding.^1-2

They’re also bioavailable and free of gluten, soy, dairy, artificial additives, and GMOs. Even our packaging is BPA-free. As always, we recommend that you check with your doctor before starting any supplements.
