1. Females, age 40-65, who are perimenopausal, menopausal or post-menopausal. Perimenopausal is defined as increased variability in menstrual cycle length and defined as persistent difference of 7 days or more in length of consecutive cycles. Later stages include amenorrhea for 60 days or longer and/or vasomotor symptoms. These should have been present for at least 6 months prior to study. Menopause is defined as absence of menstrual bleeding for at least 12 months or 12 months status post complete Hysterectomy with Oophorectomy.

Efficacy and Safety of a Nutraceutical Supplement With Standardized Botanicals in Peri-menopausal and Menopausal Women With Thinning Hair

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study Evaluating The Ability And Safety Of A Nutraceutical Supplement With Standardized Botanicals To Promote Hair Growth In Perimenopausal, Menopausal And Post-Menopausal Women With Self-Perceived Thinning Hair

Terminal hair is defined as coarse hair, short or long, found on the scalp with minimum cross-sectional diameter of 40 micrometers.

Vellus hair is defined as fine, short hairs found on the scalp with maximum cross-sectional diameter of 40 micrometers.

Total Hairs equals the sum of Terminal and Vellus Hairs in the Target Area

Terminal hair is defined as coarse hair, short or long, found on the scalp with minimum cross-sectional diameter of 40 micrometers. Vellus hair is defined as fine, short hairs found on the scalp with maximum cross-sectional diameter of 40 micrometers. Total Hairs equals the sum of Terminal and Vellus Hairs in the Target Area

Ten (10) terminal hairs just outside the border of the 2 cm x 2 cm area used for the Hair Check Hair Mass Index (HMI) will be randomly chosen (not all from one direct area) and cut at the surface of the scalp thus not creating any bald patches. The Dino-Lite Microscope will then be used to measure the diameter of each of the ten (10) hairs at 1mm from the cut end of the hair. All calibrations and measurement will be done at the setting of 230X. The ten (10) hair measurements will then be recorded on the Hair Diameter Log Form. All ten (10) diameters will be added together and then divided by 10 to attain an average hair diameter for the area and the average diameter will be recorded in the CRF. See Appendix IV.

Subjects will be instructed to wash their hair at home 24 hours in advance of study visits 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Subjects will then have their hair washed (shampooed) with a gentle shampoo in the office over a sink containing cheesecloth. The cheesecloth will be positioned to collect shedding hair. The number of hairs collected in the cheesecloth will be counted and recorded. Subjects will be allowed to dry and style their hair. Subjects will have their hair washed and shedding hairs counted on Visits 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. See Appendix V.

This is a six (6) month double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study with a six (6) month open-label extension to assess the safety and efficacy of Nutrafol® Women's Balance oral supplement in improving hair growth in perimenopausal, menopausal and post-menopausal female subjects with self-perceived thinning hair. After an initial screening period to determine eligibility, subjects will be randomly assigned to one of the following treatment arms: Nutrafol® vs. Placebo for the initial 6 months of the trial. All subjects (Nutrafol® and placebo groups) will receive the active treatment (Nutrafol®) throughout the latter 6-month open-label extension/follow-up period.

Efficacy and Safety of a Nutraceutical Supplement With Standardized Botanicals in Women With Thinning Hair

A 6-Month, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study Evaluating the Ability and Safety of a Nutraceutical Supplement With Standardized Botanicals to Promote Hair Growth in Women With Self-Perceived Thinning Hair

The first primary efficacy parameter from the digital macrophotographs will be the number of terminal hairs in the target area of the scalp. Terminal hair is defined as coarse hair, short or long, found on the scalp with minimum cross-sectional diameter of greater than 40 micrometers. Digital macrophotographs will be taken of the selected target area (1 cm by 1 cm) of each subject at each visit as specified under the Schedule of Procedures. The digital macrophotographs will show the five black colored markings on the scalp that define the target area. Digital macrophotographs will be performed using a Canon Power Shot G16 with 3GEN Dermlite FOTO Pro system.The macrophotographs are then read by the investigator to determine the terminal hair count.

The second primary efficacy parameter from the digital macrophotographs will be the number of vellus hairs in the target area of the scalp. Vellus hair is defined as fine, short hairs found on the scalp with maximum cross-sectional diameter of 40 micrometers. Digital macrophotographs will be taken of the selected target area (1 cm by 1 cm) of each subject at each visit as specified under the Schedule of Procedures. The digital macrophotographs will show the five black colored markings on the scalp that define the target area. Digital macrophotographs will be performed using a Canon Power Shot G16 with 3GEN Dermlite FOTO Pro system. The macrophotographs are then read by the investigator to determine the vellus hair count.

Dino-Lite Microscopic digital photographs to measure the diameter of the hair will be taken of the selected target area of each subject at each visit as specified under the Schedule of Procedures. Ten (10) terminal hairs just on the border of the 2 cm x 2 cm area used for the Hair Check HMI will be randomly chosen (not all from one direct area) and cut at the surface of the scalp thus not creating any bald patches. The hair diameter will then be measured at 1mm from the cut end of the hair. All calibrations and measurement will be done at the setting of 230X. The ten (10) hair measurements will then be recorded in the source and averaged to attain a median hair diameter for the target area.

After attaining the target site (see target site selection section) and the four outer markings this will indicate the target area of 1 cm by 1 cm. Then the Hair Check 4-legged (2 cm x 2 cm) marking template will be placed around the triangulation point and target area. This 2 x 2 cm area will now be used for the creation of the bundle of hair to be measured for Hair Mass Index (HMI).

Investigator Hair Quality Global Improvement Scale:
The treating investigator will complete this live assessment by circling the number on the scale that corresponds to the description that best fits the current hair quality at delinated visits as indicated in the schedule of events. Assessment grading is to be based upon the investigator's appraisal of hair brittleness, dryness, texture, shine, scalp coverage and overall appearance. The blinded investigator will complete this assessment during the study at Day 90 and Day 180 visits.
