Unlocking science of strong hair: Nutrafol introduces hair boosting nutraceuticals for personalized solutions

25 Oct 2023 --- Nutrafol, the “wellness from within” brand has launched MD hair wellness boosters, DHT Inhibitor MD and Collagen Infusion MD. Personal Care Insights speaks to Sam Archer, VP of product development at Nutrafol, who divulges on the “groundbreaking” product offerings for personalized solutions, targeting the root causes of hair thinning.

How do DHT Inhibitor MD and Collagen Infusion MD differ, and to whom are the products catered?
Archer: Both MD Boosters are formulated to add personalized support for different root causes of hair thinning and can be used with our Hair Growth Nutraceuticals. DHT Inhibitor MD targets hormones, specifically follicle-shrinking DHT hormones, and Collagen Infusion MD targets aging and the degradation of collagen in the scalp.

Offered to patients exclusively through physicians, our MD Hair Wellness Boosters offer personalized solutions that can be combined with our Hair Growth Nutraceuticals to provide additional support for key root causes of hair thinning based on the physician’s assessment, empowering healthcare providers to craft highly customized regimens.

How do the DHT Inhibitor MD and Collagen Infusion MD combat the root cause of hair thinning?
Archer: Certain patients are more susceptible to the DHT hormone due to various factors. DHT is converted from testosterone and can cause the hair follicle to shrink and eventually close. DHT Inhibitor MD is Nutrafol’s most targeted DHT formula, specifically targeting the conversion of testosterone to DHT to pair with Nutrafol Hair Growth Nutraceuticals.

Collagen Infusion MD contains marine collagen peptides, vitamin C, a protease enzyme blend and green coffee bean, among other ingredients.By age 30, the body begins to break down 1% of collagen each year, losing up to 20% in the skin and scalp by age 50. Collagen Infusion MD is Nutrafol’s advanced collagen powder, formulated to target aging as a root cause of hair thinning. It includes ingredients shown to strengthen hair, boost collagen production, increase scalp hydration and elasticity and reduce visible signs of aging to pair with Nutrafol Hair Growth Nutraceuticals.

How was the DHT Inhibitor MD created, and what are the key ingredients?
Archer: Nutrafol values its relationships with physicians, gathering feedback for product development and partnering to provide patients with professional support in their hair health journeys. Physicians have long recognized the intricate interplay of DHT and aging as a key contributor to hair thinning in their patients and the need for some patients to have additional support. 

They approached Nutrafol, seeking precise products that could be added to their recommendations. Backed by Nutrafol’s seven-plus years of studying hair biology, the MD Hair Wellness Boosters demonstrate the brand’s commitment to quality and advancing the science of hair wellness through personalization.

DHT Inhibitor MD effectively targets the 5-alpha reductase enzyme, reducing the conversion of testosterone to DHT. The formula includes clinically tested ingredients such as saw palmetto, stinging nettle, green tea extract and african plum extract. These powerful components collaborate to provide advanced DHT targeting for precision results and pair well with Nutrafol Hair Growth Nutraceuticals.

What are the stand-out ingredients in Collagen Infusion MD?
Archer: Collagen Infusion MD replenishes collagen peptides with wild-caught marine collagen peptides, boosts collagen production with vitamin C, supports absorption of nutrients with a protease enzyme blend, strengthens hair with methylsulfonylmethane [bringing anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects] and supports elasticity and signs of aging with coenzyme Q10 [antioxidant] and green coffee bean. Going beyond a traditional collagen peptide powder, the dynamic formula was created specifically for hair.     

Nutrafol’s MD Hair Wellness Boosters adhere to the highest standards of quality and integrity. They are physician-formulated, 100% drug-free and do not contain shellfish, artificial colors or flavoring. Moreover, the brand is committed to responsible sourcing, ensuring that its products are non-GMO and packaged in an eco-friendly manner.
