Hair La Vie Live Conscious Clinical Formula Hair Growth Vitamins for Women and Men w/Biotin, Collagen & Saw Palmetto (Pack of 1)

Was looking for a cheaper option than Nutrafol and figured I’d give this brand a shot because I love their collagen products (the Beyond Collagen for Women is amazing). Maybe it’s the combination of the two but I’ve been taking these vitamins for three months and can notice a big difference in the health of my hair. Swallow one pill at a time as they’re large, and would recommend doing it just after you eat to prevent an upset stomach (like the instructions say). The size, smell, and taste of the pills aren’t very desirable, but those are easily outweighed by the effectiveness in my opinion.

I am a 61 year old African American female and I’ve been taking Hair La Vie Clinical formula for about 5 years now. I mostly order directly from their website but when I need them fast I order from Amazon. My results have been great. My hair had started thinning due to stress and menopause. My hair is much thicker, stronger, longer and sheds a lot less. I could see a big difference after about 3 months. I take 2 a day with food to avoid any nausea. I did a lot of research before purchasing and I truly believe that these are the best hair supplements on the market. Their ingredients are top notch! They are strong as they need to be to work so take with food. Consistency is key. I’ve started having bouts of alopecia about 4 years ago so I take these vitamins faithfully in order to keep the rest of my hair strong. If it wasn’t for the episodes of alopecia, my hair would be even thicker, longer and fuller. I will never stop taking these hair supplements.

I have noticed that my hair is growing extremely fast and my eyelashes too. I believe anywhere I have hair, it’s growing faster. I’m not so sure it’s filling in though and I’ve been using it for months. I do admit that I’m only using half a dose to save money. My nails have been getting terribly brittle lately, and I found out that hair vitamins can actually do that.

Over the past 7 years, I've had a roller coaster of a hair journey. I lost all of my hair from chemotherapy in 2018 (ovarian cancer) and used Nutrafol to grow it back. It was effective. but I ended up putting weight on and having digestive issues. I discontinued Nutrafol, changed my diet and lost 35 pounds. Of course, the stress from losing weight as well as the discontinuation of Nutrafol made my hair shed like crazy. On top of that, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. The weight loss, stress from diagnosis and multiple surgeries really took a toll on my hair and I couldn't stop it from shedding! After things settled down from treatment, I contemplated taking another hair supplement. Fearing weight gain again, I did some research and decided to try Hair La Vie. I cautiously started out with 2 capsules at lunch and progressed to taking a third one at night with dinner. I didn't start to see drastic results until I started taking the 3rd capsule daily. After 5-6 months, there are multiple new hairs growing in and I am not shedding as much--especially when washing my hair. I'm shedding at a sustainable, normal rate now. I'm also taking a powdered collagen supplement daily, which really helps build strong new hair growth. Also, drink plenty of water and try to eat as many whole foods as possible, including adequate protein. The supplement will work better with healthy food and fluid intake. My advice is to be consistent and be patient. All great quality hair supplements take time to work. I haven't experienced any weight gain, bloating or gastrointestinal issues with this supplement.

So I was using a different product and thought I'd give this a try. The other product had been effective but this seemed promising at lower cost. About 30 days after starting LaVie I noticed increased hair shedding/loss. After using for about 60days the hair issue continued. I switched back to the other product. It took a few months to get back to seeing positive results. I do think that depending on your underlying condition that some products work for some people. Hit or miss. But words to the wise, if it works for you then don't switch up. Hair loss is so dam traumatic. What works for one individual doesn't work for all.

Please beware.. I decided to use this after comparing the ingredients with Nutrafol. The costs and reviews were a higher and better (and cheaper than Nutrafol). For awareness, I used Nutrafol in 2021 and never had any issues with it; I am an African American female. This product is horrible. It irritated my scalp, like inflamed it with red bumps (still dealing with it), itchy, keeping me up at night scratching my scalp, despite me taking benadryl, and also my hair fell out. So, it did the opposite from what it was suppose to do. My hair stylist, who I see every three weeks, was baffled by how my hair deteriorated over two months when I first started taking this. It became dry and brittle no matter how much I was keeping it oiled. Please beware and listen to your body when you take this vitamin. I thought everything was okay until I started noticing how my hair was falling out and noticing more my my scalp was inflamed. I stopped taking this product.

I tend to be a huge skeptic of most supplements and spend a lot of time researching ingredients and scientific studies. I knew there was a large chance that this wouldn’t help my thinning hair (hello menopause). However, after a month of use I have tons of small hairs growing back along my hairline!! I ordered more and won’t be stopping anytime soon. I found it super easy to use and haven’t had any side effects. I take 2 capsules daily (instead of the 3 recommended) each evening. The pills do have an odor to them, but only if you sniff the bottle (who does that??!!). They are larger sized capsules. I haven’t had any issues with taste, but I can tell they would have a strong taste if you were someone that had trouble swallowing pills.

Great hair vitamins. Been taking them about 2 years. Take 3 per day as opposed to 4 with some other vitamins. Haven’t had any major side effects. Have seen significant improvement in my hair. Of course, this was not the only thing used but it has been the major thing for about a year.
