What ingredients are in Nutrafol?

Nutrafol is a daily hair supplement built on the idea that thinning hair usually has more than one cause. Instead of a single vitamin, it combines botanicals, vitamins and minerals meant to support the hair growth cycle and a healthy scalp.

Unlike a single-nutrient supplement, Nutrafol takes into account how stress, hormones, metabolism and aging affect hair. Below are its main ingredients and what each one is meant to do.

Saw Palmetto

Saw Palmetto is one of the main active ingredients in Nutrafol. This botanical extract helps block the conversion of testosterone to DHT, a hormone closely linked to thinning hair. Less DHT means less of the follicle shrinkage that leads to thinner strands.

Marine Collagen

Nutrafol contains marine collagen peptides. These proteins provide amino acids the body uses to make keratin, the main structural component of hair. Marine collagen is included to improve the hair’s elasticity and reduce breakage.

Sensoril Ashwagandha

Sensoril Ashwagandha is a clinically tested adaptogen included in Nutrafol to help the body manage stress, one of the leading contributors to hair thinning. It works by lowering elevated cortisol levels, and lower stress hormones can mean less shedding. Ashwagandha is also used to support sleep and energy.

Curcumin

Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. In Nutrafol, it helps reduce the oxidative stress that can weaken follicles and slow hair growth. It is also included to support circulation and nutrient delivery to the scalp.

Tocotrienol Complex

Tocotrienol Complex is a form of vitamin E that helps protect hair follicles from oxidative stress. It also supports circulation in the scalp, which helps nutrients reach the follicles.

Horsetail

Horsetail is a natural source of silica, a mineral known for strengthening hair structure and adding shine. In Nutrafol, horsetail extract supports collagen production, which helps hair stay elastic and less brittle. It also has antioxidant properties.

Kelp

Kelp, a seaweed, provides minerals such as iodine, iron and zinc that hair needs to grow. These trace elements help regulate thyroid function, which plays a key role in hair growth and metabolism. In Nutrafol, kelp helps fill in micronutrients that many diets lack.

Resveratrol

Resveratrol is an antioxidant most commonly found in grapes and berries. In Nutrafol, it helps counter the free radicals that can damage hair follicles and speed up thinning. Like curcumin, it is also meant to support circulation to the follicles.

Maca

Maca, a root vegetable native to the Andes, is included in Nutrafol Women’s Balance to support hormonal balance. As an adaptogen, it helps even out the hormonal fluctuations that can contribute to thinning hair during stressful periods or menopause, with the aim of more consistent hair growth.

Astaxanthin

Astaxanthin, a carotenoid antioxidant found in Nutrafol Women’s Balance, helps fight oxidative stress and protect cells from free radical damage. It supports scalp circulation and helps shield follicles from oxidative damage. It is aimed especially at women whose hair is thinning with age or hormonal changes.

Biotin

Biotin, also known as vitamin B7, is an essential nutrient for healthy hair. It supports production of keratin, the protein that makes up each strand. Getting enough biotin helps reduce breakage and supports thickness and texture.

EvnolMax

EvnolMax is a full-spectrum tocotrienol complex, a form of vitamin E, designed for scalp health. It is an antioxidant that protects follicles from oxidative stress, one of the factors in hair thinning, and it supports circulation and nutrient delivery to the follicles.
