When it comes to hair growth supplements, there’s no shortage of options, no shortage of marketing claims, and for us, no shortage of clients who walk in our doors and say, "I'm on Nutrafol…. but I'm not sure it's working?"

For our clients, we recommend Votesse, a supplement that is transparent in formulation, focused exclusively on hair growth, and is less pills per day. Here's why we like Votesse better:

Transparency: The Dosage Makes The Medicine

Votesse clearly lists every ingredient, including the exact amounts, right on the label. That’s important, because dosage is what determines whether an ingredient is clinically effective or just sprinkled in for show.

Nutrafol, on the other hand, uses what’s called a “proprietary blend.” That means the total weight of a blend is disclosed, but the exact amount of each individual ingredient isn’t. So while you know what’s in the capsule, you don’t know how much of anything you’re actually getting. For something as specific as DHT blocking or antioxidant support, that lack of detail makes it hard to know if the formula is optimized—or just overstuffed.

Votesse takes the opposite approach: no hidden blends, no filler ingredients, and no inflated claims. Each nutrient, botanical, and amino acid is included at a dose supported by scientific literature.

Focused Formulation: Hair Growth Only

Votesse doesn’t try to do everything—it focuses on hair growth.

• DHT blockers like saw palmetto, beta-sitosterol, and pumpkin seed target hormonal hair thinning directly.

• Antioxidants like green tea extract and N-acetyl-cysteine help protect follicles from oxidative stress.

• Amino acids like cystine and arginine support keratin production and follicle strength.

Nutrafol, in contrast, takes a “more is more” approach, blending stress adaptogens, marine collagen, vitamins, and herbs into a one-size-fits-all supplement. The problem? More isn’t always better—especially when it’s tucked in a proprietary label.

In Votesse, notice (1) the transparent amounts of every ingredient vs. the proprietary blend [outlined in red] and (2) the focus on hair growth ingredients, only. 🟡 = shared ingredients with Nutrafol and 🟢 = additional hair growth-focused ingredients in Votesse.

No Biotin Overload

Votesse is biotin-free, and that’s a good thing. Biotin is often marketed as a magic bullet for hair, but true biotin deficiency is extremely rare. We know you've seen the gummies everywhere. Biotin has become a frustratingly odd, runaway marketing trick for hair growth products. Taking large doses can interfere with lab tests (like thyroid or hormone panels) and sometimes even trigger acne.

Votesse skips biotin altogether, opting instead for ingredients that address real-world causes of thinning—like DHT, oxidative stress, and follicular inflammation.

Less Capsules, More Power

Votesse is vegetarian, clean, and easy to take—just three capsules per day (compared to Nutrafol’s four). For many clients already managing multiple supplements or medications, that small difference makes daily consistency far easier—and consistency is where results happen.

90% Increase in New Hair Growth

In a clinical study of patients with androgenetic alopecia (AGA), participants taking Votesse alone—without any additional treatments or prescriptions—showed great improvement. Within just three months, patients demonstrated up to a 90% increase in new hair growth, with continued gains observed at five months. Clinicians reported visible increases in hairs, along with clinically significant improvement in crown density and the overall appearance of hair growth. Hair metrics and patient satisfaction were assessed at baseline, 3 months, and 5 months, with consistently positive results across all measures.

Bottom Line: Clarity Over Clutter

When you compare the two side by side, Votesse stands out for its clarity, focus, and clinical intent.

• Transparent labeling, so you know exactly what’s in every dose.

• Smart, streamlined formulation concentrated only on hair growth with no fillers.

• Less capsules daily, 3 capsules daily vs. 4 with most other brands, including Nutrafol. 

Votesse is the built for people who want hyper-focused ingredients and transparent formulations when it comes to a natural supplement for hair growth. At Great Many, we pair Votesse with in-studio treatments like PRP for clients who want comprehensive results—inside and out. Ask your clinician about integrating Votesse into your hair growth plan.
