“We are excited to work with Oscar Blandi and Behind the Chair to continue to raise awareness about hair loss and thinning hair in women. Diet, nutrition, lifestyle, over styling all effect hair health and when combined with a women’s various life stages — stress in their 20s and 30s, pregnancy and motherhood, menopause — increase the likelihood of hair loss and thinning,” stated Mark Holland, CEO of Lifes2good, which manufacturers of Viviscal. “We feel certain that our combined efforts will continue to shed light on this taboo topic, as well as continue to encourage and empower women to take back control of their hair health.”



With five clinical trials behind it, Viviscal’s tablets are designed to work over a period of four to six months, battling thinning hair in both men and women, the company said.
