Nutrafol Launches Men 50+ Formula Targeting Age-Related Hair Thinning

02/03/2026

Key Takeaways

  • Nutrafol announced the launch of its Men 50+ expanded line formulated specifically for men aged 50 years and older with hair thinning.

  • The supplement targets age-related changes including hormonal shifts, collagen decline, and oxidative stress.

  • The company cited proprietary data suggesting improvements in hair thickness and reduced thinning over nine months.

Nutrafol announced an expansion of its men’s portfolio with the launch of Nutrafol Men 50+, a product designed specifically for men aged 50 years and older with thinning hair.

According to the company, men entering their 50s experience measurable changes relevant to hair health, including declining testosterone levels, reduced collagen production, increased oxidative stress, accelerated cellular aging, and less efficient nutrient absorption. Nutrafol cited internal research indicating 50% of men over 50 consider hair maintenance important, while more than half report decreased hair fullness. These factors, the company argues, limit the effectiveness of generalized men’s hair supplements in this population.

The company said the product is built around the company’s patented Synergen Complex® Renewal, including key ingredients such as saw palmetto to support reduced dihydrotestosterone (DHT) conversion, Moldavian dragonhead, spermidine, and a blend of probiotics, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals intended to address common nutrient gaps in older men. The formulation is designed to support hair thickness, strength, and scalp coverage without affecting sexual function. In a 9-month company-sponsored study of men in midlife, Nutrafol reported that 84% of participants experienced thicker, fuller-looking hair and 90% reported slowed hair thinning. Study design details and peer-reviewed publication status were not disclosed.

"Hair thinning isn't one size fits all, and men over 50 experience a distinct shift in hair biology that requires a different approach," said Dr. Heather Woolery-Lloyd, Chief Medical Advisor at Nutrafol, in the press announcement. "Collagen declines, cellular aging accelerates, nutrient absorption decreases, oxidative stress increases, and hormonal balance evolves — all of which directly impact hair growth and quality. Nutrafol Men 50+ is specifically formulated to multi-target these age-related root causes from within. By supporting the body's changing biology, we can help men maintain the hair they have while promoting visibly fuller, healthier-looking growth."
