    Has anyone any experience with this supplement....have a thining patch at back of head....hairdresser recommended it.... suffered with anxiety in the past so stress rather than hereidary could be a cause. Either way just wondering whether anyone whether male or female has tried it. Thanks, Alan 28

    go for it it really works. About 2-3 years ago my hair became so thin due to stress and I had to have it cut to my shoulders. I started taking nourkin tablets extra strength for a year and then maintain. I now have long thick hair down to my bra strap. Best of luck with it I hope it works for you too!. (if you are a pigsback member and buy the tablets via the links on their site you will also get yourself lots of points).

    Weird. I was just looking at an ad for this stuff in a magazine. Siogfinsceal, can you give me advice? I'm 19 female and earlier this year, when I was 18, my luscious, crazily thick hair started to fall out in large amounts. It was the scariest thing ever! Bascically assuming it was down to stress, was pretty angsty at the time due to personal stuff etc. Anyway it's stopped now but not back to it's original glorious state, so I'm kind of interested in this stuff as obviously there are going to be other stressful times ahead and I don't want to lose my hair again. Do you still take Nourkin on a daily basis even though your hair is healthy now? The fact that it's a natural supplement appeals to me. Thanks

    You sure do love her hair!

    Hi papillon I started using the extra strength one for about 6-12 months. I still take the maintain ones now and plan to continue to do so. My reasons are as you said I am always pretty stressed and very busy so I would be worried if I stopped taking them that the problem may recurr. Also I have a horse and riding horses a couple of times a week means wearing a hard hat which can leave your hair in a right state! I also go to my hairdresser every 8 weeks and get a leave in treatment called Loreal Ineral Optimal which I have found to be fantastic. I recently went into my hairdresser and asked if I needed a trim and despite spending a week in cyprus in the sun she said I had no split ends at all so this stuff definately works!! Dont get me wrong I dont have amazing hair or anything but its soooo much better than it was 2 years ago.

    How often do you have to take the maintain ones?

    I started on the extra strength they were about 60 euro a month and took them for 6-12 months. The maintain ones cost forty euros and thats 60 tablets 1-2 months supply I take one a day now. I think if you buy online at the vhi or boots shop they may cost less

    Now taking Nourkrin for 6 weeks and I'm pretty certain that the hair loss has stopped....no evidence of regrowth....but one step at a time....for some time my hair had been blocking the shower...not now....hopefully in time regrowth may occur...it is after all a 6-12 month course...I'm hopeful, Alan


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,915 ✭✭✭Siogfinsceal


    Hi Alan, thats brilliant hope it works out for you. I think the first thing it does is reduce the hair loss and then it gets your hair into the growth cycle where new hair will grow.

    Hi everyone,

    Where is the cheapest place to get this? I really need to try something my hair is slowly thinning out, I've tried taking Vitamin D but it hasn't really helped.

    Thanks. :)

    If your hair falls out in large amounts you should see your doctor. It can be caused by having a low thyroid which also can cause you to feel stressed and depressed.

    www.chemistdirect.co.uk is an online uk chemist shop.They have some of these products discounted here : http://www.chemistdirect.co.uk/search_results.php?q=nourkrin .Best to check what the price this is in your local shop but usually considering the high sterling conversion rate we "enjoy" in Ireland buying in sterling is usually a better bargain.

    Still using it amazing product by far superior product than that crap VIVISCAL that was on the late late show!

    Is Viviscal and Nourkrin not the same thing? If not whats the difference?


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 6,613 Mod ✭✭✭✭pinkypinky


    They are the same product: rebranded. Viviscal is the new one.

    Something to point out here. It's very costly.

    I used it for about a year. I did see an improvement in my hair (and nails) for the first half of the year but then it did no more and once you stop taking it, as you would expect, the small amount of extra thickness went away.

    this is a really great product you take the tabs once a day and use the shampoo and conditioner(if necessary) and you see excellent results within about 2 months only thing is tabs are about 45-50 per month pack my mum used these after ill health and her hair looks fab like a 25 year olds
