In my Opinion

Viviscal should always be considered as a nourishing supplement for your hair loss. If you are suffering from the early stages, you might want to try this product out first coupled with DHT inhibitor like Propecia.

However, if you are suffering for moderate hair loss, you will need more than Viviscal to really reverse your condition. You can still include this in your regimen for treating hair loss if you can afford it.
