Nutrafol Review, 2025: Does This Stuff Actually Work?

Somehow, a decade into its existence, Nutrafol seems to remain peerless in the hair wellness game. Sure, there are plenty of great hair supplements out there-and ones that work, even if you have to puzzle-piece things together with multiple pills. But what Nutrafol has built is a muscled-up nutraceutical (a portmanteau of “nutrient” and “pharmaceutical”) backed by millions of dollars in peer-reviewed studies (double-blind, placebo-controlled, at that), as well as scholarly publications in an effort to stay head of class in the minds of dermatologists and academics alike. And with grooming journalists-hence why I speak so highly of them, too. Nutrafol's Offerings, at a Glance: The OG Supplement: Hair Growth Nutraceutical , $79 The Supplement Stack: DHT Inhibitor Supplement , $98 The Topical: Hair Serum , $49 The Shower Aid: 2-in-1 Shampoo & Conditioner , $44 Looking for Something Specific? But, there is that one caveat: Nutrafol is expensive, particularly those monthly hair supplements. You are meant to take four pills a day, so each 120-pill vessel lasts a month, but runs around 80 bucks (though you can get it down to $60 per month if you buy in six-month bulk). For that price, you damn well need to trust in the science, which is why I always point to the research and transparency that goes into its products. Let’s dive into what you’re paying for with Nutrafol-and I’ll leave the value judgment up to each of you, since that’s going to differ from one guy to the next. I’ll also spotlight all the key products that men can get from Nutrafol, since it's built out a small but mighty roster of hair health offerings, which can be overwhelming when you're looking at a receding hairline and way too many options. You’ll get an honest assessment of everything from me here, too, and though I like all of the brand's products, I think some are more imperative than others. Nutrafol Hair Growth Nutraceutical This is the now-ubiquitous hair growth nutraceutical, the gold standard in this game. Nutrafol’s supplement (and really, all of its products) look at the various causes for thinning hair, and each pill is packed with targeted ingredients to address those causes. Key ingredients include saw palmetto, curcumin, and turmeric extracts (to interfere with dihydrotestosterone, or DHT, which can cause hair loss) as well as ashwagandha and resveratrol (via knotweed extract) to neutralize stress’s impact-plus a dozen other nutrients that comprise its patented complex and signature blend. Add to that the key vitamins and minerals like protein, biotin, zinc, selenium, and iodine. (Note, it does contain fish extracts, so if you’re vegan, this one doesn’t fly.) Like I said before, there isn’t much contest in the industry compared to this one, particularly if you want reliable studies to point to. When I’m not using Nutrafol, I will often self-supplement my daily multivitamin with some of these exact same ingredients (namely saw palmetto and ashwagandha, as well as pumpkin seed oil, which also inhibits DHT). That said, once I...
