Menopause brings a lot of changes—some expected, some not so much. One of the toughest to deal with when it comes to maintaining your confidence is hair-thinning.

Physician-formulated Nutrafol® Women’s Balance is the first and only hair growth supplement with published clinical studies in menopausal women with hair thinning. These studies revealed impressive results: after nine months, 100% of women reported visible improvement in hair growth, while 93% saw a significant reduction in dryness and brittleness within just six months.

But this supplement does more to battle the symptoms of menopause than just give you visibly thicker, softer, and shinier hair. Many women have found that this 100% drug-free nutraceutical also helps alleviate other menopause-related symptoms, such as hot flashes, mood swings, and sleeplessness. 

Today, we’ll show you the secrets of how this holistic solution targets the most common causes of menopause-related hair loss.

What Makes Nutrafol® Women’s Balance Special?

The power behind Nutrafol® Balance lies in its carefully selected ingredients, each chosen to target the specific needs of women experiencing menopause with a science-backed blend that works together to combat the root causes of hair-thinning. 

Wholesome, Targeted Ingredients

Synergen Complex Plus®

Synergen Complex Plus® is unique to Nutrafol® Women’s Balance, designed to address hormonal changes, stress, and other factors contributing to hair thinning during menopause.

  • Organic Maca Root Powder: Clinically proven to support hormone balance during peri- and post-menopause, particularly in regulating DHT, a hormone linked to hair thinning.
  • Saw Palmetto Extract: Known for its ability to reduce DHT levels, helping to prevent hair follicle shrinkage.
  • Sensoril®Ashwagandha Root & Leaf Extract: An adaptogen that helps your body manage stress by balancing stress hormones, leading to a healthier hair growth cycle. Sustainably wild-harvested in India, this ingredient is exclusive to Nutrafol.
  • Hydrolyzed Marine Collagen Peptides: These highly bioavailable peptides act as the building blocks of collagen, strengthening hair from the inside out.
  • Palm Fruit Extract: Packed with a Tocotrienol Complex, a concentrated form of vitamin E antioxidants that combat oxidative stress, which can damage hair follicles.
  • Curcumin: A powerhouse antioxidant that’s 500 times more potent than turmeric alone, working to protect and revitalize your hair.
  • Maca: Another hormone-balancing hero, this root sourced from Peru helps manage DHT levels during menopause.
  • Astaxanthin: Delivers more energy to skin cells, supporting a healthier environment for hair growth.
  • Kelp Minerals: A sea vegetable that supports key hormones needed to promote a healthy metabolism for hair health.

Nutrafol® Blend

This blend amplifies the effects of the Synergen Complex Plus with additional nutrients to boost hair strength and density.

  • L-Cysteine: An essential amino acid that promotes keratin production.
  • L-Lysine: Another amino acid vital for collagen formation, for strong and resilient strands.
  • L-Methionine: Supports keratin synthesis.
  • Horsetail Extract: A natural source of silica, which strengthens hair and promotes growth.
  • Japanese Knotwood Extract: Highly concentrated source of resveratrol, an antioxidant that protects the scalp from environmental damage to improve hair density. 
  • Black Pepper Extract: Helps your body absorb the other ingredients so you get the most out of Nutrafol Balance. 
  • Cayenne Extract (Capsicum): Stimulates blood flow to the scalp, encouraging healthy hair growth.

Supporting Ingredients

Rounding out the formula are vitamins and minerals that provide additional hair growth support. 

  • Vitamin A (Beta Carotene): Promotes scalp health and helps produce sebum, which keeps hair moisturized.
  • Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid): Essential for collagen production and protecting hair from oxidative stress.
  • Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol): Supports hair follicle health and helps prevent hair loss.
  • Biotin: A well-known nutrient that strengthens hair and nails.
  • Zinc: An important component of tissue growth and repair. 
  • Selenium (L-Selenomethionine): Antioxidant to further reduce oxidative stress. 

It’s this proprietary blend of Synergen Complex Plus® and Nutrafol® Blend that infuses Balance with the necessary actives to target six of the root causes behind hair thinning caused by menopause:

Hormones

As estrogen levels drop during menopause, your body becomes more vulnerable to imbalances in dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone directly linked to hair follicle shrinkage and eventual closure. This hormonal shift is a primary culprit behind thinning hair, but these ingredients work to stabilize DHT levels, helping to keep your follicles healthy and open.

Stress

Menopause can make it harder to bounce back from stress, and chronic stress can wreak havoc on your hair. Elevated stress hormones, like cortisol, can disrupt the natural hair growth cycle, leading to increased shedding and thinning. The supplement formula includes adaptogens that help your body better manage stress.

Lifestyle

Oxidative stress doesn’t just cause signs of aging on your skin; It also impacts your hair follicles. Environmental factors like pollution and UV rays can weaken hair follicles over time, making it harder for them to produce strong, healthy hair. The antioxidants in Nutrafol® Women’s Balance fight back against these stressors, helping to protect your follicles and maintain hair density.

Metabolism

As menopause slows down metabolism, hair follicles might not get the energy they need to thrive. This metabolic shift can lead to weaker hair and slower growth. Synergen Complex Plus® includes ingredients that support cellular metabolism, ensuring hair follicles stay energized and capable of producing healthy hair.

Nutrition 

Your body’s nutritional needs change during menopause, and without the right balance of vitamins and minerals, your hair can suffer. Nutrafol® Women’s Balance is packed with nutrients that specifically support hair health, filling in any gaps in your diet to ensure your follicles get what they need to stay strong and vibrant.

Aging

Aging naturally impacts hair, making it thinner and more fragile, but this growth supplement addresses the signs of aging by supporting collagen production and reducing oxidative stress, both of which are key to maintaining the strength and structure of your hair as you age.
