Nutrafol has introduced Nutrafol Men 50+ Hair Growth Nutraceutical, its first hair growth product formulated specifically for men of this demographic. The physician-formulated launch is drug-free and vegan while featuring testosterone- and collagen-boosting botanicals like saw palmetto and Moldavian dragonhead.
Nutrafol Men 50+ is drug-free and clinically designed to visibly improve hair thickness, strength, and scalp coverage — without compromising sexual performance.
While hair thinning in men has long been addressed with generalized offerings, Nutrafol Men 50+ is branded a “meaningful evolution” in the category by addressing unique hair health changes that come at this age, which require targeted, whole-body support.
“Our mission has always been to support people through every phase of life,” says Cindy Gustafson, CEO of Nutrafol. “We’ve long understood that hair health evolves with life stages.”
“As men enter their 50s and beyond, their biology shifts in meaningful ways — yet options in the market rarely shift with them. Nutrafol Men 50+ was created to close that gap, addressing the age-related drivers of thinning and extending the same life-stage, whole-body approach that has transformed women’s hair health to men.”
Nutrafol claims the supplement helps to visibly reduce thinning, improve scalp coverage, and strengthen hair over time. During a nine-month study of men across midlife, 84% saw thicker, fuller hair, and 90% reported slowed hair thinning after nine months.
Addressing specific biological shifts
In their 50s, men’s internal biology undergoes significant changes. According to Nutrafol, these include testosterone decreasing by approximately 20%, collagen production slowing, accelerated cellular aging, higher oxidative stress, and poorer nutrient absorption.
Nutrafol hair supplements range.Additionally, stress and hormonal changes remain influential root causes of hair thinning.
“Hair thinning isn’t one-size-fits-all, and men over 50 experience a distinct shift in hair biology that requires a different approach,” says Dr. Heather Woolery-Lloyd, chief medical advisor at Nutrafol.
“Collagen declines, cellular aging accelerates, nutrient absorption decreases, oxidative stress increases, and hormonal balance evolves — all of which directly impact hair growth and quality.”
Nutrafol details that these changes alter how hair renews, strengthens, and responds to everyday stressors, which is why a one-size-fits-all formula is insufficient.
These biological changes are also deeply felt, notes the company. According to a recent study by Nutrafol: “50% of men over 50 say maintaining their hair is important, and 54% report that their hair isn’t as full as it used to be.”
Botanical complex
Nutrafol Men 50+ Hair Growth Nutraceutical is based on Synergen Complex Renewal, a patented blend of botanicals designed to target the specific, evolving biological root causes of hair thinning in men.
Saw palmetto in the formula claims to help reduce the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), while Moldavian dragonhead promotes natural collagen production. The supplement also includes spermidine to improve hair thinning, alongside a targeted blend of probiotics, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals to replenish common nutrient gaps.
Last year, Nutrafol rolled out its supplement range at Ulta Beauty, featuring a selection of its most popular hair growth supplements, including Nutrafol Women, Nutrafol Women’s Balance for women above 45, and Nutrafol Postpartum.
