Ultra NourishHair
GNC Men's
Overview
GNC Men's Ultra NourishHair provides a blend of vitamins, minerals, and herbal extracts aimed at supporting hair health. While it contains key nutrients like Biotin and Zinc at adequate levels that are known to contribute to hair, skin, and nail health, the effectiveness of many other ingredients, particularly those in the proprietary blends, is difficult to ascertain due to unknown dosages. Many herbal components have limited direct evidence for hair-specific benefits, or if they do, the quantities within the blend are likely too low to be effective.
The Good
Contains Biotin at a high, potentially effective dose (2000 mcg) for supporting hair infrastructure.
Includes Zinc at 15mg, which meets 100% of the Daily Value and is essential for hair tissue growth and repair.
Provides a comprehensive range of B vitamins (Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin, B6, Folic Acid, B12, Pantothenic Acid) which are vital for overall cellular metabolism and potentially indirectly support hair health.
The Bad
Proprietary herbal blend lacks transparency regarding specific ingredient amounts, making efficacy and safety assessment difficult.
Many ingredients in the proprietary herbal blend and other components are at potentially underdosed levels for significant effects (e.g., Magnesium, Silica, Boron, Horsetail Herb Powder, Hydrolyzed Gelatin, Natural Amino Complex, Cayenne Pepper, Juniper Berries Powder, Uva Ursi Powder, Watermelon Seed Powder, Cubeb Fruit Powder, Goldenrod Powder, Buchu Leaves Powder, Corn Silk Powder, Cranberry Bark Powder, Shave Grass Powder).
Magnesium and Copper dosages are low, potentially not providing significant benefits unless a severe deficiency exists.
Is it for you?
