I am a 64 year old female who is a biker. I had super thick hair up until menopause. Natural auburn curly/wavy hair. I color it now however (have been for years). It has been gradually thinning on top. My mom had very thick hair. My dad (redhead) was bald on top. Mine is to the point where I am pulling it back to help conceal the thinning on top. I told my husband that if I didnt get this hair issue reversed, my two Harleys were going up for sale, because I wasnt going to be a bald biker chic. He is the one who told me about this product. After two weeks of using this, I am seeing new growth all over my head. I am also using rosemary oil daily and use a scalp massager daily. Along with these, I take collagen peptides. So, I can't say for sure what is working - it could be a combination of everything. But this product has to be playing a role in this without a doubt. I started taking fish oil supplements today also, which are supposed to be good for hair growth. Am hoping to get at least 50% back of what I have lost over time, and get it thickened back up again. Im doing everything I can short of seeking professional help and spending thousands of $$$ on PRP or transplants. Fingers crossed! *Update* Am thru my first bottle and just ordered my second. Those first new growth hairs are now an inch long. Prior to this, I would shed a handful of hair each time I washed it. Shedding is now minimal. Everywhere I part my hair, there are baby hairs popping up. I can't tell you how relieved I am to be seeing improvement and new growth. I continue to use rosemary oil at night, massage my scalp, take protein supplements and collagen peptides, and fish oil. I am using a shampoo with rosemary oil. I'm not relying on one product for success. I think it's been a team effort from several products. Whatever I am doing, it's working!!! Update with pictures. I am thru my first 4 months of using this and my 5th bottle is on the way. I am no longer keeping my hair pulled back. My almost bald spot at the back of my head is gone. Any light areas you see are grays because I am 2 weeks out from my last color job, and it grows super fast. I am beyond happy with the results I have gotten from using this. My issue is hormones, and this product appears to block the hormone that chokes off the blood supply to the follicle. Happy, happy 64 year old!! Read more
I have bought this product for 4 months and I'm undecided. Seems like no new hair growth but they do say between 4 and 6 months to let it pan out I guess but I will say that taking the product I am a lot calmer and not so high strung so not sure if it's worth the $88 I spend on it but for right now I'm going to give it a chance Read more
I have only had this supplement for less than a week, the 45 and older version. I would caution those over 45 who are on any type of hormone replacement. Per my experience I have learned about Maca, that is in this version but not the 45 and younger. My hormone Dr recommended this as a good hair growth supplement, not realizing there was this version. I started having warm flushes, super oily skin, and anxiety/jittery feel on day 2, of a starting out, reduced dose. Started researching the ingredients and mace seems to be the issue. I called my Dr, and indeed, stop taking dt the maca. I have ordered the 45 and younger version, since this is supposed to be an effective supplement, hopefully it will be. But I thought to review for many of us over 45 on some form of hrt, who this may not be a good option for. I would have appreciated a warning about this on the label, would have saved me some unpleasant symptoms and extra money. But, I'm not knocking it over all, giving the younger version a try when my new order comes in. Good luck ladies! I wanted to update, 4/9/2024, I've been taking this, 45+, 2 caps with 2 caps of the 45 and younger version. Stopped my dhea supplement I was on, all with my Dr's approval. First, my hormones are doing really great on this with maca, now that the dhea is stopped. Better than on dhea. I feel great too! But let's get to the hair. At first I was not sure much was happening, even at 3 months, nope, not sure. But I think it's 6 months or so now, and I'm sure my hair is thickening back up, so it is working for me, not without some initial issues, but I found the right combo for myself, 4 caps a day, 2, 45+, 2 ,45 and under. Hormones and hair doing better. I agree, expensive, but I've decided, worth it to me, and will continue for hair and hormones in my perimenopause world! Once again, good luck ladies..it's ruff ride 50+ Read more
I (42 F) was prescribed a medication to help perimenopause symptoms, but it made my hair fall out in clumps, and I lost about 1/2 my hair and gained 10 lbs in one month. Absolute nightmare, major stressor. I stopped taking the medication and bought a bottle of Nutrofol to see if it would help kick start my hair regrowth. At the end of 1 month supply, I did notice a lot of short new growth hairs, and my scalp had more coverage, thank goodness! The biggest benefit for me though was that my nails, notoriously and life-long thin and prone to bending and breaking, are so strong! They grew out a little bit and none of them broke and they are so sturdy! The price tag for this product is unfortunately much too high for my monthly budget so the one-time buy was an effective experiment, helped kick start hair growth, and was a bonus nail strengthener!
