FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How long should I take Nutrafol Ppospatrum?
Nutrafol Postpartum was formulated for women to take after childbirth through their first year postpartum. Nutrafol recommends taking the product for 3-6 months and beyond to support your recovery and replenish your body to promote better hair growth. If you are still breastfeeding after the first year, they recommend continuing with Nutrafol Postpartum. Once you’ve stopped breastfeeding, you can switch to Nutrafol Women.
When should I expect to see results?
Every woman's postpartum hair journey is different. After giving birth, estrogen and progesterone decline abruptly, while cortisol starts to increase drastically igniting a shift in the hair growth cycle. Normally, the hair growth cycle resets after 6-15 months, but Nutrafol Postpartum was formulated to support recovery through this transition for better hair growth with natural ingredients during the first year after birth. These natural ingredients address and manage underlying imbalances in the body during the first three months of taking the product and beyond.
Does "breastfeeding friendly" mean safe for me and the baby?
Nutrafol Postpartum was developed with an OBGYN using whole-food-sourced ingredients known to support lactation and to target root causes of postpartum thinning hair. All of our ingredients were chosen to help support recovery from nutrient depletion and the physical and emotional stress that can lead to thinning hair in postpartum women during a time when they are likely breastfeeding. They’re used within FDA-set doses for postpartum women with no ingredients found to be contraindicated in breastfeeding.
They’re also bioavailable and free of gluten, soy, dairy, artificial additives, and GMOs. Even our packaging is BPA-free. As always, we recommend that you check with your doctor before starting any supplements.
What if I’m taking a prenatal or postnatal vitamin?
Our formula is compatible with most prenatal and postnatal vitamins. Nutrafol Postpartum can help fill the gaps in nutrition after childbirth between prenatal formulas and postnatal needs with concentrated ingredients for hair growth focused on recovery through your postpartum transition. Just remember that Nutrafol Postpartum is for use after childbirth, not during pregnancy. If you have questions about making changes to your supplement routine, please consult with your doctor before starting any new dietary supplement.
