Nutrafol Postpartum was formulated for women to take after childbirth through their first year postpartum. We recommend taking the product for 3‑6 months and beyond postpartum to help support healthy hair wellness. If you are still breastfeeding after the first year, we recommend continuing with Nutrafol Postpartum. Once you’ve stopped breastfeeding, you can switch to our hair wellness formula to support ongoing hair wellness.

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. The hair cycle resets after 6‑15 months, but Nutrafol Postpartum was formulated to help support wellness through this transition with breastfeeding‑friendly ingredients. Our drug‑free ingredients are designed to help support balance within the body during the first three months of taking the product and beyond.

Nutrafol Postpartum was developed with an OBGYN using whole‑food‑sourced ingredients known to support lactation and to help support hair wellness amid postpartum changes. All of our ingredients were chosen to help support wellness following nutrient depletion and the physical and emotional stress that may contribute to postpartum hair changes for women who are breastfeeding. They’re used within FDA‑set doses for postpartum women with no ingredients found to be contraindicated in breastfeeding.¹²
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.

Why am I experiencing shedding on this product?
Why am I experiencing shedding on this product?
During pregnancy, higher levels of hormones like estrogen help keep hair in a prolonged growth phase that would have normally graduated to the natural shedding phase of the cycle otherwise. So women get to enjoy less hair shedding during pregnancy.
After giving birth, hormones including estrogen and progesterone decline while cortisol increases, which breaks that prolonged growth spell and causes all those hairs to enter their shedding phase at once.¹ Most women report noticing this peak hair shedding 2‑3 months postpartum.²
So while more shedding after giving birth can be normal short‑term, we also know that issues like nutrient deficiencies, cumulative stress, and lack of rest may impact how quickly hair returns to its natural growth phase. Our goal is to help support your whole body, including your hair follicles, with healthy ingredients to help you smoothly transition through this stage and support your hair’s natural wellness journey.
