This is our review of a hair growth supplement that is said to help men and women achieve thicker, fuller, stronger hair. A small 90-day clinical usage study of Natural Wellbeing Hair Essentials for Healthy Hair by an independent company produced statistical evidence to indicate that the product reduced the amount of hair loss/shedding/thinning; increased hair coverage on the scalp; and improved overall hair condition and appearance. We take a closer look.

Natural Wellbeing Hair Essentials for Healthy Hair Review – Conclusion
This is a product that appears to tick all the boxes. We were pleased to see that Natural Wellbeing was totally transparent about the contents of its Hair Essentials product and the ingredients list is comprehensive, albeit similar to several competing products; and that it is manufactured in the US and adheres to GMP-certified manufacturing standards.
This is one of the few hair health products we have looked at that has been subjected to a clinical evaluation study. While the results indicated that the produce worked, it must be noted that the trial involved only 34 participants, all women, of whom only 26 completed the study. We would suggest that this sample is too small to prove that product will work for everyone and we question why men were not included in the study if the product is marketed as a product for both men and women.
We were also concerned about the apparent contradiction in the product’s guarantee: you have 90 days from your date of purchase to return the product if you are dissatisfied, but it is recommended that you take the product for 90 days, after which you can discontinue its use.
