Nutrafol Ingredients – Are they safe and effective?
This product works through the potency of its ingredients that are rich in vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that provide hair’s building blocks.
The hair loss supplement Nutrafol is currently being investigated in several multi-center, randomized double-blind placebo studies – very early on in the process of efficacy and side effects.
NOTE – As the FDA Federal law does not require dietary supplements to be proven safe to FDA’s satisfaction before they are marketed; Dietary supplement firms must report to FDA any serious adverse events that are reported to them by consumers or health care professionals. Therefore as many clinical trials are still underway; it would be wise as a consumer to await the results of the studies.[2]
It is formulated with ingredients that target several causes of hair thinning and hair loss including stress hormones, genetics, and inflammation among others.
It initiates a three-stage transformation to address the root cause of hair loss and promote its growth.
- It contains DHT blockers, anti-stress adaptogens that help to reduce cortisol hormones, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatories.
- It begins by balancing the level of DHT and cortisol hormones.
- It then repairs damaged follicles, followed by the revitalization of dormant follicles by providing them with boost nutrients and building blocks necessary to promote hair growth.
This results in healthy, fuller, and stronger hair.
Here are some of the ingredients used in this formula:

It has definitely helped the front area, however, the back pate area synonymous with male pattern baldness has not improved. Most journals say that area is very difficult to regrow.
Please note there are different Nutrafol formulas to best suit your cause of baldness.
Mine was from IBS, GERD, lack of vitamin absorption, and severe toxicity to some prescribed pain killers.
So YES, it helped rebalance my loss of nutrients hence hair growth.
It’s been 8 mos and now I will try laser therapy for the pate area that didn’t respond.
You should try it for 3 mos at least. Mine worked in 2.
