Hi girls,
I was wondering if anyone has tried these hair restorer pills like Viviscal or Nourkrin? My hair's getting very thin at the front and sides and although I'm getting advice from my doc, nothing's working.:( They're very expensive, so I don't want to waste my money.
Any feedback very welcome.
Cheers, Chris

Do I have to eat that?

Hello Deltalady
My mum is currently trying Viviscal , I think she has been taking it about 2 months now and her hair does look better, although she is says it is difficult to tell if it is any thicker, she is continuing to take the pills though . She did go to the doctor first and have tests for thyroid etc.
I have to add that she is 76 so her hair thining is likely due to her age , when she was younger she had fantastic thick hair ( unfortunately I have not inherited that! ) so she is particularly conscious of it becoming thinner.
Hope this helps, it is worth a try. Good luck

I took Nourkrin for around 18 months and at first thought there was a difference but if there was it was very slight. Eventually I bought Philip Kingsley's book the Hair Bible and learned that after checking out your health, and if it is not hormonal, then you should look to diet. I lost a lot of hair after briefly trying HRT and becoming anaemic. I believe that would have been the "hormonal" factor. Eight years and many pounds down the line I decided to try the diet factor. That meant increasing my intake of red meat. May not sound healthy but I tried to make it as organic as I could and just increased, not went mad on, the intake. A year later I feel a lot better about my hair. There is a definite difference, but I don't think I will ever have the lush locks I used to have. The problem with thinning hair is that getting to the bottom of it seems to coincide with spending loads of money. Buy the book and try the right diet and give it a year. That is my advice.
