Viviscal Hair Growth Vitamins for Women Tablets (60)

What is Viviscal Hair Growth Vitamins for Women Tablets (60)?

Viviscal Hair Growth Vitamins for Women is a food supplement for adult women who want to support normal, healthy hair as part of their routine. It combines the brand's AminoMar marine complex with vitamins and minerals.

How does it help?

Biotin and zinc contribute to the maintenance of normal hair, and vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation. The tablets also contain AminoMar, a marine protein complex made from fish and molluscs, plus iron, niacin and plant extracts. You take two tablets a day, one in the morning and one in the evening, with water after food. The maker suggests taking them for at least three to six months, because hair grows slowly and any change takes time to show.

Key benefits

• Biotin and zinc, which contribute to the maintenance of normal hair
• Vitamin C, which contributes to normal collagen formation
• Two tablets a day, split between morning and evening
• A one-month supply in each pack

Who should take care?

Always read the instructions before use. This is a food supplement rather than a licensed medicine, so the pack label and directions are what to read before taking it. It is for women 18 and over and is not suitable during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. It contains fish and molluscs, so do not take it if you have a fish or shellfish allergy. Each daily dose provides 13.6mg of iron, which can be harmful to very young children if taken in excess, so keep it well out of their sight and reach, and check first before taking it with another iron-containing supplement or multivitamin. Some people notice a mild stomach upset; taking the tablets after food can help. Speak to your doctor or our pharmacist before starting it if you take any regular medicine. Sudden, patchy or heavy hair loss can have a medical cause and should be checked by your GP rather than managed with a supplement. A supplement does not replace a varied and balanced diet.
