The Short Answer: For women, the choice depends on life stage. Nutrafol Women is heavily focused on hormonal balance, making it popular for postpartum or menopausal thinning. Viviscal PRO is a universal "Growth Accelerator" focused on nutrition. If your main complaint is "fine, wispy, or breaking hair," Viviscal PRO is often the superior choice for restoring cosmetic volume and shine.
Dosage & Lifestyle
A major practical difference is the daily routine:
- Viviscal PRO: 2 small tablets per day (1 AM, 1 PM). Easier to swallow and manage.
- Nutrafol: 4 large capsules per day (taken all at once with fat). Some users find this dosage volume difficult to maintain long-term.
Value Check: At Hair Solutions Canada, we find that Viviscal PRO offers a better price-per-month value for clients who just want results without paying for the heavy marketing costs associated with lifestyle brands.
Common Female Hair Questions
Is Viviscal safe for women over 50?
Yes. As metabolism slows with age, absorption of protein decreases. Viviscal's hydrolyzed marine protein is easy to digest, making it excellent for older women dealing with age-related thinning.
Does it cause hair growth on the face?
This is a common myth. Viviscal feeds the follicle, but it does not change your hormonal blueprint. It will strengthen the hair you have (scalp, eyebrows) but won't suddenly cause you to grow a beard.
