Viviscal cost a lot, is there an alternative that uses the same ingredients? A genetic? an alternative? Also how does it compare?

There is a product call Rogiscal and it has the same ingredients plus numerous others that are scientifically proven to promote hair growth and inhibit hair loss.

I heard of Rogiscal and a friend of mine has tried it. Same ingredients but in a gel capsule form also the price is much better.

The first time I used Viviscal I had purchased it from a drug store and I believe the product was helping my hair to grow and thicken; however, it was so expensive, that somewhere along the way I stopped using it. That was about 3 years ago. In the last year, I started losing more hair and decided to try it again. This time, I did not get results and continued to lose hair. I think my problem now is either due to medication, an illness, a fungus, I don't know, so, it's hard to say whether it will work for you. I do feel that it worked the first time I used it.

Check around. CVS has a house brand for $7.50. Many local pharmacies also carry it...this particular amazon price is a scam!

I think it helps the hair look more healthier and shining. For the fuller, I recommend to takethe "Viotin" by NATROL(Fast Dissolve, 5000mcg), could be purchased at Costco, and it's affordable, around USD$10. I'm using both of them and feel great! Hope you do, as well.

Hi JoAnne:Funny, but my my vet suggested buying it online as it's less expensive due to overhead costs as they can't buy in bulk. Thus, I would assume it is the same. All I can say is that I know it works. Maybe time for a new vet?

From my experience, this product is waaay cheaper than even just a 1 month's supply of the last (unsuccessful) popular skin care line I tried...which I might add did NOT work at all and also dried out the skin on my face everywhere instead of just the spot (it was pretty ugly!). Mine will probably last close to a year too. Because it works so effectively on blemishes and lasts much longer than topicals, I have no problem throwing it away after that for only $39. I also like the convenience that I can take it anywhere with me because it is so small and works on just regular batteries, but I don't have to remember to charge it like a cell phone.

This formula is made from "biological fermentation" and is "suitable for vegans/vegetarians." I only recently learned that many other brands often do derive it from chicken or shellfish, but as someone else said, it can be made in the lab. Actually, I think this is Jarrow's recently updated formula. NOW also makes a vegetarian formula and is cheaper. But if you want an even cheaper source of vegan hyaluronic acid, check out the site Pure Bulk.

GCA and Svetol are the same thing. Our product does contain GCA, it's a proprietary blend, so I'm not privy to those details and the lab won't share it. Our lab carefully formulated a blend that we are seeking to patent. Think CocaCola, or the "special sauce." We can share what's in it but we can't share exactly how much because then everyone would copy our brilliant weight loss, fat burning, amazing blend... and we can't have that. We work too hard to keep our customers happy and healthy!

It worked but you are buying the name. There are generics available. Same formula. I bought a 2 and a half gallon container for $50 at a farm supply store.

It is much better than shakeology and cheaper. Shakeology is slimy to me. As far as nutrients go, though, they are competitors so they'll probably offer very similar results if you did a side-by-side comparison.

Thanks for the information. I didn't know about Vit C complex. I'm switching to it immediately!!

This and the Godiva shampoo by Lush are my two favorites with their Veganese conditioner. I have fine hair and its wonderful. At Lush.com The bars are half the price. Even better if you can find a Lush store, then there is no shipping.

Hay also.....I just noticed that Amazon has them on sale right now for $13.20! The Enisyl-F Lysine ones, that is!!! And I wondered something else for you.....my Vet, a long time ago, said that I could ALSO use a mild over the counter eye drop whenever needed. Just ask your Pharmacist, they will be able to tell you which one to use!!!

In Canada, Viviscal is marketed without iron. There is also no biotin in the formula. I think this may have to do with our stricter food and drug controls. There is a slightly lower doseage of the marine complex in these tablets as well. Our boxes in Canada say "maximum strength", not extra strength. I bought mine at Shoppers Drug Mart.

I stopped using Viviscal Professional after 4 weeks. I, as well as my hair dresser, were alarmed at the changes in my hair. It may have looked a little thicker but that is because my hair started to look like I had a "bad permanent." It crinkled up and would not comb out easily. I also read that some people who took the pills had changes in their liver enzymes. I have stopped using all Viviscal products. I did call the company in an attempt to find out what the alkaline rate was in the product. In fairness to them they did call back. I was unable to speak at the time they called and they said they would call again but they didn't. I will not use any of their products. I stopped using Viviscal Professional after 4 weeks.

This is definitely the new formula. Ugh! The old formula was great, wasn't it? Since I bought this I have been able to find one that is close. It's even blue in color. If you have BJ's wholesale clubs in your area they make a generic that is the best thing I have found! Good Luck!
