Viviscal Healthy Hair Women 60 tablets

Viviscal Woman Hair Growth Supplements are designed to be taken as an initial six month programme. During this time, the recommended dosing is two tablets per day, one in the morning and one in the evening. Tablets should be taken with food, or immediately after a meal.

Tablets should be swallowed whole, not crushed or chewed. Do not exceed the recommended dose.

After the initial six-month course, you may be able to continue with treatment by reducing to one tablet per day for up to three months to see if the results can be maintained. If hair shedding resumes, you should consult with your doctor (1).

The 6-month programme – stage by stage

So, what does the six-month programme look like? The manufacturer states that results may look something like this (1):

Stage 1. Hair follicles are nourished from within, results may not be visible in terms of hair, but you could see your nails grow faster and stronger than usual since they, like hair, are also keratin-based and may benefit from the ingredients contained in Viviscal supplements.

Stage 2. During months two and three, the ingredients should get to work encouraging growth and strengthening of existing hair.

Stage 3. During months four and five, the supplements should start promoting new hair growth where it had previously stopped.

Stage 4. By the of the six-month programme, the manufacturer state hair should be stronger, thicker, healthier and more vibrant.

While this is the initial improvement stated by Viviscal, it should be noted that users should expect to need to complete the full six-month course to achieve significant visible results, and that individual results may also vary.

The manufacturer states that results are based on a number of clinical trials. Evidence across several shows significant increases in terminal hair count, and reduced shedding compared to a placebo (4, 5). However, clinical evidence to support the use of Viviscal Woman supplements is limited and it is not a replacement for a licensed hair loss medication.

Can I take it with other supplements, medications or licensed hair loss treatments?

If you are taking any other medication or supplement, or if you have any other pre-existing condition, particularly if you have been on chemotherapy, we advise that you speak to your GP before starting to take Viviscal Woman Hair Growth supplements.

Storage

You should store these hair supplements out of sight and reach of children and vulnerable adults. Keep them in their original container and do not use them after the expiry date, which refers to the last day of the month printed on the label.

There are very few verified side effects associated with Viviscal Woman Hair Growth supplements. However, this does not mean that you will not experience any.

There have been some reports of mild skin symptoms, including itchy scalp, occasional rash or acne flare-up, but the frequency with which they occur has not been verified.

Who should check with a healthcare professional before taking Viviscal Woman?

While it is recommended that this supplement complements rather than places any licensed hair loss medications, you must still speak to a licensed healthcare provider first. This is to help ensure that they are safe and suitable for you based on your individual circumstances.

Warnings and cautions

You should not take Viviscal Woman if you are allergic to any of the ingredients, particularly fish/shellfish/molluscs as Viviscal contains a marine complex derived from shark cartilage and mollusc powder, plus other marine proteins (1).

It should also be avoided during pregnancy/breastfeeding, as the safety of this supplement during these has not been tested.

Viviscal Woman is not vegetarian or vegan friendly because of its marine-derived ingredients.

Viviscal hair supplements for women contain naturally-occurring vitamin B12 from mollusc-derived material. They are effectively free from gluten, dairy, soya, nuts, eggs and wheat but cross-contamination status cannot be guaranteed.

Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
