The Short Answer: The main difference is potency and ingredients. Viviscal PRO contains 50mg more of the proprietary AminoMar™ marine complex per tablet than the standard version found in drugstores. Additionally, the PRO formula includes Apple Extract (Procyanidin B-2) and essential amino acids (L-Cystine and L-Methionine) to increase hair diameter, which are absent in the retail version.
Comparison: Professional vs. Retail
Many customers ask if they can simply use the regular strength viviscal. While the regular strength Viviscal is acceptable, Viviscal PRO is specifically formulated with higher dosages for professional results. To understand the difference in potency, we recommend you view the clinical studies and ingredient breakdown to see exactly why the PRO formula delivers superior density.

Common Questions About Viviscal PRO
Can I take 2 retail pills to equal 1 PRO pill?
Not exactly. While taking more regular strength Viviscal pills would increase your AminoMar™ intake, you would still be missing the Apple Extract and key amino acids (L-Cystine) that are critical for increasing the actual diameter (thickness) of the hair shaft.
How long does a box last?
One box contains 60 tablets. The recommended dosage is 2 tablets per day (morning and night), so one box is exactly a one-month supply. We recommend the 3-month bundle to see the first visible results.
Is it safe for men and women?
Yes, Viviscal PRO is unisex. The mechanism of feeding the hair follicle protein is the same for both men and women. However, pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before starting any supplement.
