After childbirth, I noticed my hair fall but I stayed calm. I acted to remedy it. I chose a wellness-focused approach. I prioritized my diet, having vitamin-packed foods, specially rich in Vitamin E and Protein. I exercised daily and engaged in meditation for stress control. I avoided styles that pull on my hair and stopped using heated hair tools to prevent hair stress. I also started applying LittleExtrra Coconion hair oil and shampoo along with a wooden neem comb. The outcome was hairfall control and the recovery of my hair.
Mine hair fall stopped almost 90 percnt after using LitteleExtrra Cocooonion hair oil and then i started using reactivate hair serum and used it consistently for a couple of months and i noted new hairs growing in today.
Take anything with caution. It worked extremely well for me but everyone is different. My hair is filling in all over my thinning spots after just three months. The quality of the existing hair improved dramatically as it was probably nutrient deficient. I was consistent for two months, stopped taking it for a few months, then just started back a month ago. Even with inconsistent use, my hair grew like crazy. It’s expensive for most people but worth it for many, however, you could probably skip a few days here and there and do some dose dropping here and there but keep the concentration up. I take regular multivitamins on days where I don’t take this. I also cut it down to two sometimes.
I suffered from Covid hair loss and I have tried everything to thicken and bring back my length but I haven't tried this. I am really considering this and your comment caught my eye. Can you update on how it is going after one month? Thanks in advance!
@@B_HarTz It's a real thing, it actually happened to my aunt she was worried she'd be bald but luckily after her covid went away her hair started growing back
I’m currently using it to get my vitamins in since it contains many important ones- it’s easier for me to take 4 of these a day than go through a whole cabinet of vitamins
I have been on Nutrafol for over six months. (Thyroid problems) and its been good for me; yeah, it’s expensive, but well worth it, in my opinion, and no, I didn’t have any of these side effects. I also use their shampoo and conditioner
i've been taking it for 2-3 weeks (4 pills a day) and i've definitely notice a difference! So ill continue using it. i do notice some white heads on my face like he discussed but nothing that is too intense or annoying to me. Update: so I did have an increase of whiteheads BUT I started double cleanse (using an oil cleanser and a gel cleanser) and also using la roche posay effuclar duo spot treatment and it decreased my white heads and I still use the nutrafol and this has kept my white heads at bay.

I used it but to take 4 large pills a day was a lot. I have fine thin hair and I was around 49 when I tried it for three months. It did help with thickness but with that being said if you have a thyroid issue be careful. It can cause your bloodwork to be off when checking your T3 and T4 levels.

@@ArsalanAspires I just have a question that I was wondering can I use Nutrafol if I don't have any hair loss or hair problems?. I want to grow my hair longer and faster
I’ve been taking it for one year, 2 pills a day taking more than that because it hurts my stomach. My hairline is so full, so many friends have commented how much my hairline has grown in.
My dermatologist recommended nutrofol a while back so I took it for 6 months and then got lazy. I didn't experience any side effects. It definitely didn’t stop my hair loss but did seem to increase hair growth in certain areas and help retain thickness. Bottom line is that i have no clue if it actually works
I'll be 30 this year and I've been combatting thinning on the top of my head and a receeding hairline for a few months since I noticed a drastic change over the last 2 years. I have no preexisting conditions and have been using similar ingredients found in Nutrafol already. I ordered a bottle today to see if this will help fill the potential gaps in my supplementing. Hopefully I get some more results using this.
So I bought a 2nd months supply to continue taking the Nutrafol. Definitely noticed new hairs growing on my hairline and it seems my hair is regaining some thickness.
I've been using it for 3 years. My hair loss is due to stress and hereditary alopecia. I would say that it is noticeable if I stop using it. More hair sheds and clumps in the shower. I don't see a lot of hair growth. I've been using hair oils for growth and strength.
Oh and I never want to go through menopause. Putting that off would certainly be helpful to hair quality and growth. There is a video topic for you, Doc.
At the moment, I'm taking Geritol, pumpkin seed oil soft gels, saw palmetto, L-Lysine, curcumin, and beef liver caps daily. And will stick with that to see if it helps with my alopecia that's spreading from the top to the right side of the front of my head. I still have enough hair to cover it. But if after 6 months I see no difference then I'll try the nutrafol. And I have also just dedicated the rest of my life to exercise. Serious exercise including meditative yoga, barre, jumping on a mini trampoline, using the Sunny Row-n-Ride squat machine to strengthen my lower body and knees, treadmill walking, cycling, and weight lifting. I just set up my mini gym at home and are just getting started. My diet is low carb, just eating meat and fruit, so my diet is carnivore. I'm basically taking the ingredients in Nutrafol separately. Including iodine as I take lugols iodine daily, and the marine protein with eating sardines everyday. But nutrafol has some ingredients I'm not taking, so I'll see what happens in 6 months.
My dermatologist recommended Nutrafol for my hair thinning, but I’m already taking several of the Nutrafol ingredients in other supplements. Also, I’m getting reasonably good results with finasteride + pumpkin seed oil and rosemary oil. The $88 price is outrageous. I’m going to pass.
I used nutrafol daily for the past 2 months (4 pills/day). It seems good but it caused side effects (similar to propecia) such as loss of libido, loss of morning election. Never got morning erection for the past 2 months, no interest in sex at all. When I stop nutrafol for one or two weeks, I’m back to my normal.
This worked for me esp after covid hair loss. I took it for 11 months. It even made my eyelashes grow. It's expensive.. had to stop buying it. After 6 months I sent a hair sample and they did a hair analysis and really broke down the hair to see what nutrients and vitamins I was lacking. NEVER HAD ANY OF THOSE SIDE EFFECTS... NEVER ONCE
@BLacK HarTz it's not blaming covid... 3 months after having Covid people report severe hair loss. Its called telefilm effluvium... im not about to go back and forth with someone who is extremely ignorant, and someone I dont know. I have a clean bill of health and have no health issue like u suggest... get a life and move on from my comment
@@B_HarTz It's called Covid hair! Research before you comment!! smh Alot of people ran fever the duration of Covid and according to my research fever can cause trauma/stress to the hair follicles on the regular but add fever brought on by Covid can be really damaging.
ty so much for posting this. you really mangnified the issues with the studies that the common consumer will ignore. Can you do a review on Foligrowth?
I changed my mind on nutrafol but is considering Cellabeauty by MD Dina Anderson. It's not full of all them ingredients but has probiotics and moringa for weight loss. Can you please tell you thoughts. Thanks
Regular docs have little regard for supplements and are paid for pushing big pharma. The precaution to talk to the regular doctor is covering himself legally as well as keeping him from getting censored
I used Nutrafol for a year and it didn't help my hair thinning and I didn't experience and hair growth. I wasted SO much money! In addition, while I was using Nutrafol my hair started falling out in clumps in the shower. I know that the excessive shedding may not have been caused by Nutrafol, but it still didn't help my androgenic alopecia.
My question is what heppens if your only take one capsule a day instead of the four. Would it make a deference (most likely yes but how) and give your body time to get use to the new routine? Also it would last 4 months instead of just the 1 month.
Thank you so much for the very informative video, I really appreciate your feedback and knowledge on what is in the product, and also you said to see a specialist to find out the cause of hair loss, which is a great idea.
Glad it was helpful! Yes, every one will have a unique case that is tied back to a different hair loss issue. It's important to find out what your cause is.
It was a total waste for me. I paid $88/bottle and took Nutrafol for 6 months. What a waste 🙄 I was deeply disappointed. I didn't experience any side effects, nor did I experience any hair growth. I would never waste my money on Nutrafol again.
I really apprecicate Dr. Arsalan how you went over the indgredients comparing what the possiblities could be depending on our bilogical systme I just finished taking a Saw Palmetto supplement I swithched to a different mixture recommended by Dr.Berg because I'm also using his hair serum thank you and yes, I would be interested in seeing more of your videos
Does anyone trust the FDA anymore? I Don't. I also want to say since my wife has been taking this, she totally loses it mentally when she has her period. She was fine until she started taking this crap. Has anyone else noticed this side effect?
All supplements and natural remedies are not regulated by the FDA, and they should be. If you thing that pharmaceuticals are ripping everyone off, there is nothing like the vitamin and natural supplements for scams. You can put anything in a capsule that is so called "natural" and say it does anything or everything. There is no regulatory agency that stops this nonsense. Legitimate independent studies done with placebo/control groups prove this all the time.
Yikes, You should talk to her about it, anything that affects the brain pattern is not something to take lightly, introduce her to a regular multi vitamin such as Centrum for adults! Take it with food though and avoid dairy products when consuming the vitamin give 2 hours to consume dairy because it will cause stomach ache
I know this is about nutrafol, but even jlo's product caused more breakage in my hair. The dr. I have an apt for dermatologist. Im glad you mention thyroid issues. I have low zinc lately, n the iodine supplement i take does not cause the side-effects you mention.
iodine will cause long term damage if you take too much. there is plenty in the food, and unless your doctor prescribed it to you, it should only be for a set period of time. otherwise thyroid will mess up totally in a few years.
Im only taking 12.5 mgs, i thought it was ok, because i had stopped regular iodine salt intake a long time ago. I was on that before the Thyroid meds. Cant recall when i started it. Maybe 1.5yr. Im getting scalp biopsy at the end of the month to reveal more. It didnt start breaking off and rubbing off until tried jLO's her product. I also didnt stop dyeing my roots before i started the spray. It could also be the np thyroid, but I will find out soon. Thank you for your concern. I did stop dyeing my hair after the breakage, obviously.
I am 67. After covid i had noticeable hair loss. I looked at a picture of myself and said where the hell did my hair go. I am not a woman that primps much. But hair loss is upsetting. I have been taking nutrafol for 6 weeks. Last week I went to a dermatologist to look at my scalp. He said he saw a good amount of dark nubs coming in. 😊 I want to address the gross part of side effect...diarrhea. I have problems with constipation all my life and I always have polyps after a colonoscopy. But since I have taken this I am remarkably regular and happy. My recent colonoscopy (after taking this). No polyps. I am a high stressed woman. What ever this stuff is is working.
Great video! I was thinking of giving this natural supplement a try over the medications (Finasteride, Minoxidil).. It just seems a bit safer with the whole E.D side effects potential, I think I'd rather go bald
@@muza45 just would rather go bald than not have my dick work properly. Kind of defeats the whole point of having hair. But if Finistride is working for you and you have no issues than more power to you. I'd just rather not take the chance ✌️
Asking as an actual question. If you make something like this, why wouldn’t you fund the study? I see how it looks, but I could also see wanting to look for funding so that you could have this study done?
do you even have a clue what it costs for something like that? even after funding is done, there is no way to recover the money for any natural product like vitamins or herbs. This is why there is never public studies done. the ones that are done are private and never shared - they use them to make similar versions of the natural ingredient so they patent it. where have you been all this time?
Hi, I’m experiencing a little bit of hair thinning. Do you know safe product for me to use to fix that? It would be really, really big help to know what products they are safe for me to use
My daughter has PCOS and my hair is just fine. But wondering if maybe just stick with collagen and saw palmetto we already use. 88 bucks is a huge commodity monthly speaking.
There's this section of my forehead where I got this moon/star tattoo a long time ago that's been slowly going & I've been eyeballing for about 5yrs now. The rest had thinned a bit already; I was starting to get "Jim Jordan hair" and tried this. On my 3rd month now & it's grown back in...my hairline has now re-filled in reaching just above the tattoo. The rest is growing in as well, and I've even got new hair growing in places where it wasn't before, which is odd, but whatever! I've got this "slightly" painful spot/smallish boil that won't heal (of course, I've been picking at it!) near the back of my head though. It showed up with a cluster of NON-painful "bumping" in my scalp, which I assumed were from old hairs growing anew underneath scalp-skin that had grown over them......and was now popping up back through. Once I picked at them at bit and they all came off (kind of like dandruff), the thicker my hair seemed.........but this one in the back is just annoying and has been perpetuating for a week now; not getting larger or worse or anything, just won't completely go away. Would that count as "acne"? Just...."scalp acne"? I take the prescribed 4 a day. Anybody else had this problem?
I’m shedding alot of hair since I was in a car accident. This was in Oct. it’s still shedding. Could these vitamins help with that. I know it’s due to trauma but if this keeps up I won’t have any hair
Wonder if taken in half dosage, say 2 instead of 4 capsules would reduce the risk of iodine and zinc overload and still be beneficial for hair growth maybe at a slower rate?
And needless to say, you can just buy some of these supplements individually and leave out the unnecessary ones for way less money. There is no medical evidence that supports marketing claims that collagen supplements or drinks can improve hair growth (there is only weak evidence that it helps joints).
I only took two days of Nutrafol. Unfortunately for me, it increased the hair shedding and I had horrible migraines each day. I also noticed I had a deep brain fog. Sadly I got too scared to move forward with the process and I’m out $80. Does anyone know of anything else that would help? I have TE and I’m looking for other options.
I do not have hair loss, and I just want to take 2 capsules of nutrafol every day for 6 months and continue to take 3 capsules a week forever Do you advise me do this routine ?
Why to fix something that’s not broken? Better to eat a nutritious diet, take some vitamins instead of wasting money on this expensive supplement that might not even do anything for you.
I started it 2 months ago and i’ve had a lot of shedding… Is it part of the process? I’ve read that it is but I want to know if anybody had it before seeing results
May I ask, I'm a woman 66, someone close to me a man is no longer going to use Nutrafol he has several unopened bottles would that be ok for me to use him using the formula for men? thanks
If you pay close attention the main ingredient is always Biotin, in this case 3000 mcg (10000%), which btw is way more than the recommended amount of 30 mcg daily. Buy yourself a good 10000 mcg of biotin and stick to it. It's cheaper and more effective and it mostly doesn't have any side effects since you excrete what you don't need in your urine.
I grew up outside of Boulder, Colorado. And I've tried every diet from lemon/maple syrup cleanses to macro diets. And let's just say through the 70's, 80's, and 90's I probably did every "diet" I thought would "hook me up" to a better more "aligned" me. But the one thing I've learned over the decades is that there is SO MUCH "Designer Food" out there that it makes for a real money driven Industry based on generating and cultivating a sense of inadequacy and the tool is advertising - telling me I needed this exact one thing and everything about me and my life would change. Let me give you an example. Haven't eaten it in years and I can cool walk 11 miles in 5 hours without it... "Super Blue-Green Algae" (now that was a pyramid scheme...don't get me wrong I like the product sort of seeing as I haven't used it a decades but walking 19 miles in a day isn't unfeasible for me as a 60 year old.) And let's not forget the scammy side of advertising basic things such as water which is now known as "Gluten Free"...how many products are advertised that have nothing to do with gluten as being gluten free? And how many people actually suffer Celiac Disease? Now it's a sure-fire selling point. And that for me is the focus of your video here. It's why I hit the subscribe button after finally liking many of your videos. That almost ALL things I tried are advertised as being "being a game-changer" but in reality are not game changers at all...And the promise of losing weight, having more vitality, shinier hair and clearer skin was a "sell" is an illusion - that if I just buy this supplement and boom I wouldn't/won't have to do the work. And here's the kicker - "I'd be YOUTHFUL" - F*CK that word! It's a knife stabbed into the heart of every person afraid of becoming old. It's like saying to that person "you aren't youthful, but you will be if you take this 'supplement'" As MC5 would sing "Kick Out The Jams" F$CK that "dolla, dolla bill y'all"(Wu-Tang). In advertising "YOUTHFUL" is bankable, it's a CURSE! It's a real Mean-Spirited word. But if you add that to your ad, if you say vitality, if you offer the basic jargon that's allowable under the law (as in how do we define "Youthful") and all of these "products" are just variations of well-designed money-making machine/Industry appealing to the need of insecure people to feel like they are YOUNG and staying "Youthful." As if eating the "right" foods can prolong the inevitable - I'll say the DIRTY WORD - gasp "AGING"...but honestly...if we cook our food (not do take out our microwave it out of a box but chop and cook), we do our exercise, we live pro-active and positive lifestyles integrated with good mental health and if we don't get beset by say, Alzheimers or Cancer or hit by extreme physical tragedy...for the most part one doesn't really need supplements like "Nutrafol" eating is just one thing folks: COMMON SENSE!!! My grandparents lived until they were old, and they didn't touch vitamins. Old...they worked until they were way into their seventies old, ha! Integrated with life. Boom, physical exercise...fresh air, good food. If we use our Common Sense we all find what works for us individually and if we listen to ourselves we shine...thanks for keeping it REAL!
Although that was one, long a55 comment, you are spot on!! I’m trying to grow old gracefully, I had “my day” as they say and if truth be told, “my day” was ONE HELL OF A RIDE!! Yet, all good things must come to an end, and it’s time to pass the torch to the younger generation. I believe in living my best life and glad I survived “my day” to have the memories and stories to tell.

So I bought a 2nd months supply to continue taking the Nutrafol. Definitely noticed new hairs growing on my hairline and it seems my hair is regaining some thickness.
@@MikeyohMikeyHow much is it a month…?
@@iceman18ize getting it between $84-$87 USD
I've been using it for 3 years. My hair loss is due to stress and hereditary alopecia. I would say that it is noticeable if I stop using it. More hair sheds and clumps in the shower. I don't see a lot of hair growth. I've been using hair oils for growth and strength.
Oh and I never want to go through menopause. Putting that off would certainly be helpful to hair quality and growth. There is a video topic for you, Doc.
And the older population can likely afford it. If it’s makes my hair lush and healthy I’m buying it. ❤
At the moment, I'm taking Geritol, pumpkin seed oil soft gels, saw palmetto, L-Lysine, curcumin, and beef liver caps daily. And will stick with that to see if it helps with my alopecia that's spreading from the top to the right side of the front of my head. I still have enough hair to cover it. But if after 6 months I see no difference then I'll try the nutrafol.
And I have also just dedicated the rest of my life to exercise. Serious exercise including meditative yoga, barre, jumping on a mini trampoline, using the Sunny Row-n-Ride squat machine to strengthen my lower body and knees, treadmill walking, cycling, and weight lifting. I just set up my mini gym at home and are just getting started. My diet is low carb, just eating meat and fruit, so my diet is carnivore.
I'm basically taking the ingredients in Nutrafol separately. Including iodine as I take lugols iodine daily, and the marine protein with eating sardines everyday. But nutrafol has some ingredients I'm not taking, so I'll see what happens in 6 months.
How is it going so far?
@@HeRantz Not good. Still thinning.
@HappyBeeTV-BeeHappy are u considering Nutrafol?
@@kyroroma2971 No.
My dermatologist recommended Nutrafol for my hair thinning, but I’m already taking several of the Nutrafol ingredients in other supplements. Also, I’m getting reasonably good results with finasteride + pumpkin seed oil and rosemary oil. The $88 price is outrageous. I’m going to pass.
I used nutrafol daily for the past 2 months (4 pills/day). It seems good but it caused side effects (similar to propecia) such as loss of libido, loss of morning election. Never got morning erection for the past 2 months, no interest in sex at all. When I stop nutrafol for one or two weeks, I’m back to my normal.
Were you taking the one for women or for men ?
@@Cocoiland men
he said erection so im assuming man@@Cocoiland
Thank youuuuu! Your page is really helpful to consult before trying any new beauty and health hacks.
Glad you are here!
This worked for me esp after covid hair loss. I took it for 11 months. It even made my eyelashes grow. It's expensive.. had to stop buying it. After 6 months I sent a hair sample and they did a hair analysis and really broke down the hair to see what nutrients and vitamins I was lacking. NEVER HAD ANY OF THOSE SIDE EFFECTS... NEVER ONCE
Covid hair loss ? 😂people blaming covid for all health issues
@BLacK HarTz it's not blaming covid... 3 months after having Covid people report severe hair loss. Its called telefilm effluvium... im not about to go back and forth with someone who is extremely ignorant, and someone I dont know. I have a clean bill of health and have no health issue like u suggest... get a life and move on from my comment
@@B_HarTz Rude and ignorant comment. A LOT of people experience CATE. Look it up.
What happened after you stopped talking them? Did you notice your hair starting to shed?
@@B_HarTz It's called Covid hair! Research before you comment!! smh Alot of people ran fever the duration of Covid and according to my research fever can cause trauma/stress to the hair follicles on the regular but add fever brought on by Covid can be really damaging.
ty so much for posting this. you really mangnified the issues with the studies that the common consumer will ignore.
Can you do a review on Foligrowth?
Great idea! Happy I could help! 😃
I changed my mind on nutrafol but is considering Cellabeauty by MD Dina Anderson. It's not full of all them ingredients but has probiotics and moringa for weight loss. Can you please tell you thoughts. Thanks
I'll pass on it. I rather have short hair then whiteheads on my face.
I’m agreeing with this video ❤
Everyone have to talk with their doctor before taking hair supplies medicine 👍
Regular docs have little regard for supplements and are paid for pushing big pharma. The precaution to talk to the regular doctor is covering himself legally as well as keeping him from getting censored
This product has helped me too with hair loss.
I used Nutrafol for a year and it didn't help my hair thinning and I didn't experience and hair growth. I wasted SO much money! In addition, while I was using Nutrafol my hair started falling out in clumps in the shower. I know that the excessive shedding may not have been caused by Nutrafol, but it still didn't help my androgenic alopecia.
My question is what heppens if your only take one capsule a day instead of the four. Would it make a deference (most likely yes but how) and give your body time to get use to the new routine? Also it would last 4 months instead of just the 1 month.
Thank you so much for the very informative video, I really appreciate your feedback and knowledge on what is in the product, and also you said to see a specialist to find out the cause of hair loss, which is a great idea.
Glad it was helpful! Yes, every one will have a unique case that is tied back to a different hair loss issue. It's important to find out what your cause is.
It was a total waste for me. I paid $88/bottle and took Nutrafol for 6 months. What a waste 🙄 I was deeply disappointed. I didn't experience any side effects, nor did I experience any hair growth. I would never waste my money on Nutrafol again.
Sorry to hear that! 😕
Your review of Nutrafol was so helpful!!! Thank you!!

I really apprecicate Dr. Arsalan how you went over the indgredients comparing what the possiblities could be depending on our bilogical systme I just finished taking a Saw Palmetto supplement I swithched to a different mixture recommended by Dr.Berg
because I'm also using his hair serum thank you and yes, I would be interested in seeing more of your videos
Which brand and how many mg of Saw Palmetto do you take?
Does anyone trust the FDA anymore? I Don't. I also want to say since my wife has been taking this, she totally loses it mentally when she has her period. She was fine until she started taking this crap. Has anyone else noticed this side effect?
All supplements and natural remedies are not regulated by the FDA, and they should be. If you thing that pharmaceuticals are ripping everyone off, there is nothing like the vitamin and natural supplements for scams. You can put anything in a capsule that is so called "natural" and say it does anything or everything. There is no regulatory agency that stops this nonsense. Legitimate independent studies done with placebo/control groups prove this all the time.
Can’t say. I’m post menopausal.
Hide those from her so she doesn’t get mental
Yikes, You should talk to her about it, anything that affects the brain pattern is not something to take lightly, introduce her to a regular multi vitamin such as Centrum for adults! Take it with food though and avoid dairy products when consuming the vitamin give 2 hours to consume dairy because it will cause stomach ache
The FDA doesn't regulate supplements. Everytime it's threatened, the industry gears up to fight it.
I know this is about nutrafol, but even jlo's product caused more breakage in my hair. The dr. I have an apt for dermatologist. Im glad you mention thyroid issues. I have low zinc lately, n the iodine supplement i take does not cause the side-effects you mention.
Thank you for sharing this!
iodine will cause long term damage if you take too much. there is plenty in the food, and unless your doctor prescribed it to you, it should only be for a set period of time. otherwise thyroid will mess up totally in a few years.
Im only taking 12.5 mgs, i thought it was ok, because i had stopped regular iodine salt intake a long time ago. I was on that before the Thyroid meds. Cant recall when i started it. Maybe 1.5yr. Im getting scalp biopsy at the end of the month to reveal more.
It didnt start breaking off and rubbing off until tried jLO's her product. I also didnt stop dyeing my roots before i started the spray. It could also be the np thyroid, but I will find out soon. Thank you for your concern. I did stop dyeing my hair after the breakage, obviously.
Mine is post Chemo drug, I believe. Never lost hair until now. And my scalp hurts in places. Hopefully this will help
Great information, thank you. Are you a dermatologist?
I am 67. After covid i had noticeable hair loss. I looked at a picture of myself and said where the hell did my hair go. I am not a woman that primps much. But hair loss is upsetting. I have been taking nutrafol for 6 weeks. Last week I went to a dermatologist to look at my scalp. He said he saw a good amount of dark nubs coming in. 😊 I want to address the gross part of side effect...diarrhea. I have problems with constipation all my life and I always have polyps after a colonoscopy. But since I have taken this I am remarkably regular and happy. My recent colonoscopy (after taking this). No polyps. I am a high stressed woman. What ever this stuff is is working.
Nutrafol did not work for me and I tried it for almost a year.
This is the second video i have watched and i love how u explain it all.. Thank U 🙏
SUBSCRIBED ❤
For this cost with the amount of cons id rather take a good quality multivitamin and healthy diet and exercise for hair growth
My derm recommends nutrafol
have you tried it yet? if yes, any results?
Hi Dr! Could I use Nutrafol men vitamins in addition to the Hims topical finasteride & minoxidil spray review in conjunction?
yes
i’m under Dermatologist care trying it out. She drew labs also to see what kind of hair loss i have as well. 2nd day and no issues thus far.
My hairline looks exactly like yours. Is that considered receding?
Great video! I was thinking of giving this natural supplement a try over the medications (Finasteride, Minoxidil).. It just seems a bit safer with the whole E.D side effects potential, I think I'd rather go bald
Why
@@muza45 just would rather go bald than not have my dick work properly. Kind of defeats the whole point of having hair. But if Finistride is working for you and you have no issues than more power to you. I'd just rather not take the chance ✌️
Been on Finasteride for years and have never had an ED problem 😂
Never heard of topical minox ED issues. I think its only-ever (realistically) Fin/oral
@@DaveTadros hahahah same here, idk how people think that, throw a pair of tata’s in my face and that thing is moving up😂
I have been taking it for the past week, diarrhea is definitely a side effect!
Can you review a company called wellbell for their hair supplement?
Thanks for the intelligent and very helpful review.
You are most welcome!
I got the postpartum ones. I didn't even realize they had others are the ingredients much different?
Asking as an actual question. If you make something like this, why wouldn’t you fund the study? I see how it looks, but I could also see wanting to look for funding so that you could have this study done?
do you even have a clue what it costs for something like that? even after funding is done, there is no way to recover the money for any natural product like vitamins or herbs. This is why there is never public studies done. the ones that are done are private and never shared - they use them to make similar versions of the natural ingredient so they patent it. where have you been all this time?
Hi, I’m experiencing a little bit of hair thinning. Do you know safe product for me to use to fix that?
It would be really, really big help to know what products they are safe for me to use
Thank you for you honesty!!!
Yes, it's important I remain transparent.
Great information!
Thanks for the feedback!
but you need to take it forever? like uf you hair grows again, and you stop taking it, your hair will fall again? like how its that?
By consulting with the doctor, do you suggest a dermatologist or my regular Doctor Who I see
My daughter has PCOS and my hair is just fine. But wondering if maybe just stick with collagen and saw palmetto we already use. 88 bucks is a huge commodity monthly speaking.
i am a polycystic ovarian patient, was there any problems with hair loss?
What brand and how many mgs of Saw Palmetto do you take?
Great vedio doc...my hair fall due to stress but only in the middle ..its also thinning.....so idont know what to take....not sure about nutifold
Very informative video doctor stopped me from wasting my money 🎉🎉🎉
The price tag keeps.me away...that's ridiculous. Can you do one on Viviscal?? Thank you
Thank you for this review. It shined a light to a dark underwrite
Thank you so much for sharing this information!
What tests should I ask my doctor for to diagnose my cause of hair loss?
Totally off topic but you remind me of Alfredo Linguini, the chef from Ratatouille.
I’ll take it 😅
There's this section of my forehead where I got this moon/star tattoo a long time ago that's been slowly going & I've been eyeballing for about 5yrs now. The rest had thinned a bit already; I was starting to get "Jim Jordan hair" and tried this. On my 3rd month now & it's grown back in...my hairline has now re-filled in reaching just above the tattoo. The rest is growing in as well, and I've even got new hair growing in places where it wasn't before, which is odd, but whatever! I've got this "slightly" painful spot/smallish boil that won't heal (of course, I've been picking at it!) near the back of my head though. It showed up with a cluster of NON-painful "bumping" in my scalp, which I assumed were from old hairs growing anew underneath scalp-skin that had grown over them......and was now popping up back through. Once I picked at them at bit and they all came off (kind of like dandruff), the thicker my hair seemed.........but this one in the back is just annoying and has been perpetuating for a week now; not getting larger or worse or anything, just won't completely go away. Would that count as "acne"? Just...."scalp acne"? I take the prescribed 4 a day. Anybody else had this problem?
I was thinking about getting this but now I will not. Thanks for the information!
I’m shedding alot of hair since I was in a car accident. This was in Oct. it’s still shedding. Could these vitamins help with that. I know it’s due to trauma but if this keeps up I won’t have any hair
Lots of info. I can not take it. Thank you !!
Good info glad to see this thanks
I just started do u think when u stop taking them your hair falls out especially taking so many (4 a day)
Wonder if taken in half dosage, say 2 instead of 4 capsules would reduce the risk of iodine and zinc overload and still be beneficial for hair growth maybe at a slower rate?
Great information. Thank you!

Thank you!
I lost piles of hair while in isolation in Uk ( though not having covid) because of the stress should I go for it?
So what your advice we use it or not ?
Isn’t cheaper if you just buy each supplement separately?
I'm a Stylist and Gunniness book World Records But now I'm Suffering thinking 50 over
And needless to say, you can just buy some of these supplements individually and leave out the unnecessary ones for way less money. There is no medical evidence that supports marketing claims that collagen supplements or drinks can improve hair growth (there is only weak evidence that it helps joints).
Thank you for sharing this!!!!!!!!!
You’re most welcome!
God bless this Dr.
Great video doc.
I only took two days of Nutrafol. Unfortunately for me, it increased the hair shedding and I had horrible migraines each day. I also noticed I had a deep brain fog. Sadly I got too scared to move forward with the process and I’m out $80. Does anyone know of anything else that would help? I have TE and I’m looking for other options.
I do not have hair loss, and I just want to take 2 capsules of nutrafol every day for 6 months and continue to take 3 capsules a week forever Do you advise me do this routine ?
Why to fix something that’s not broken? Better to eat a nutritious diet, take some vitamins instead of wasting money on this expensive supplement that might not even do anything for you.
Thank you for the info!

I started it 2 months ago and i’ve had a lot of shedding… Is it part of the process? I’ve read that it is but I want to know if anybody had it before seeing results
May I ask, I'm a woman 66, someone close to me a man is no longer going to use Nutrafol he has several unopened bottles would that be ok for me to use him using the formula for men? thanks
Perfectly fine, and your back hair will be so bouncy and long.
If you pay close attention the main ingredient is always Biotin, in this case 3000 mcg (10000%), which btw is way more than the recommended amount of 30 mcg daily. Buy yourself a good 10000 mcg of biotin and stick to it. It's cheaper and more effective and it mostly doesn't have any side effects since you excrete what you don't need in your urine.
What do you think about sugar bear hair vitamin gummies? 🙏🏻🙋♀️
Where have I been? I'm happy to find this video at this time!!!! I'm a new sub!!!

Could you review the Advance Trichology system pls
Hi doctor.. This oil free kuweit
I grew up outside of Boulder, Colorado. And I've tried every diet from lemon/maple syrup cleanses to macro diets. And let's just say through the 70's, 80's, and 90's I probably did every "diet" I thought would "hook me up" to a better more "aligned" me. But the one thing I've learned over the decades is that there is SO MUCH "Designer Food" out there that it makes for a real money driven Industry based on generating and cultivating a sense of inadequacy and the tool is advertising - telling me I needed this exact one thing and everything about me and my life would change. Let me give you an example. Haven't eaten it in years and I can cool walk 11 miles in 5 hours without it... "Super Blue-Green Algae" (now that was a pyramid scheme...don't get me wrong I like the product sort of seeing as I haven't used it a decades but walking 19 miles in a day isn't unfeasible for me as a 60 year old.) And let's not forget the scammy side of advertising basic things such as water which is now known as "Gluten Free"...how many products are advertised that have nothing to do with gluten as being gluten free? And how many people actually suffer Celiac Disease? Now it's a sure-fire selling point. And that for me is the focus of your video here. It's why I hit the subscribe button after finally liking many of your videos. That almost ALL things I tried are advertised as being "being a game-changer" but in reality are not game changers at all...And the promise of losing weight, having more vitality, shinier hair and clearer skin was a "sell" is an illusion - that if I just buy this supplement and boom I wouldn't/won't have to do the work. And here's the kicker - "I'd be YOUTHFUL" - F*CK that word! It's a knife stabbed into the heart of every person afraid of becoming old. It's like saying to that person "you aren't youthful, but you will be if you take this 'supplement'" As MC5 would sing "Kick Out The Jams" F$CK that "dolla, dolla bill y'all"(Wu-Tang). In advertising "YOUTHFUL" is bankable, it's a CURSE! It's a real Mean-Spirited word. But if you add that to your ad, if you say vitality, if you offer the basic jargon that's allowable under the law (as in how do we define "Youthful") and all of these "products" are just variations of well-designed money-making machine/Industry appealing to the need of insecure people to feel like they are YOUNG and staying "Youthful." As if eating the "right" foods can prolong the inevitable - I'll say the DIRTY WORD - gasp "AGING"...but honestly...if we cook our food (not do take out our microwave it out of a box but chop and cook), we do our exercise, we live pro-active and positive lifestyles integrated with good mental health and if we don't get beset by say, Alzheimers or Cancer or hit by extreme physical tragedy...for the most part one doesn't really need supplements like "Nutrafol" eating is just one thing folks: COMMON SENSE!!! My grandparents lived until they were old, and they didn't touch vitamins. Old...they worked until they were way into their seventies old, ha! Integrated with life. Boom, physical exercise...fresh air, good food. If we use our Common Sense we all find what works for us individually and if we listen to ourselves we shine...thanks for keeping it REAL!
What pyramid scheme was it
You lost me, n your name fits well...rambling rose hmmm. So you tried nutrafol? Or you think green algae helps w hair?
Although that was one, long a55 comment, you are spot on!! I’m trying to grow old gracefully, I had “my day” as they say and if truth be told, “my day” was ONE HELL OF A RIDE!! Yet, all good things must come to an end, and it’s time to pass the torch to the younger generation. I believe in living my best life and glad I survived “my day” to have the memories and stories to tell.
What shampoo it’s better this one or redken brew
