It’s time to review New Nordic Hair Gro – a hair supplement that looks pretty promising:
- pretty high doses
- decent price
- over 50% positive reviews
However – its ingredients look pretty weak to me (compared to other products).
So is New Nordic’s supplement really effective? Or it’s just another scam?
Let me give you all the details you need.
Note: This review is based on my personal experience with New Nordic’s product.
So Let’s Get To The Review
Full Name: Hair Gro Supplement from New Nordic
Form: Only tablets (comes just as a supplement form)
Best Actual Price: Around $26 per bottle
Cheapest Place To Buy: Probably Amazon. They also have an official website, but it costs around $13 more.
Designed For: Hair growth and anything involving it.
According to the label, you can use it for:
- hair growing really slow
- balding scalps
However, I doubt it’s extremely effective for balding people.
My Rating: 6 out of 10 – It could be much better at some chapters.
Worth Buying?: Not really. It’s a decent supplement – but it’s not as effective as others:
- ingredients are pretty unknown
- it didn’t regrow hair too well (in my case)
- no positive reviews from men
So basically – I recommend using a stronger supplement that works for both men and women (the best proof that a product is effective).
What I Liked About It
- Pretty high doses of ingredients
- Speeds up hair growth considerably
- Decent price
- You can find it in several retailers
- Many authentic reviews (and most are positive)
What I Didn’t Like About It
- Most ingredients are pretty unknown
- Thick pills that aren’t easy to swallow
- Doesn’t decrease hair loss completely (in my case)
- Needs 8 months for the best effects
- Doesn’t work too well for men (I couldn’t find any review)
Hair Gro – A Quick Overview
New Nordic’s supplement is meant to increase hair growth.
According to the official website – here’s what makes it special:
- Contains only natural ingredients.
- It’s vegan and gluten-free.
- Improves the rate of hair growth.
However – it also needs 8 months for the best results, which is a very long time.
For this reason, New Nordic’s Hair Gro isn’t among the best hair supplements that I have seen.
Even though it’s a decent product – its downsides are bigger than its good points (in my opinion).
So now that you have a main idea about it – it’s time to analyze it closer.
#1 – Ingredients (8.50 out of 10)
New Nordic’s ingredients aren’t any bad, but they’re not amazing either – in my opinion:
- high doses overall
- most ingredients aren’t very famous
So basically – this supplement doesn’t use the classic ingredients (which work best for hair growth). Instead, it has a pretty different formula.
As you can see – it contains 3 major ingredients:
- Proprietary Blend
- Zinc
- Biotin
So let’s take a quick look at each:
1. Proprietary Blend (744.32 mg)
This is actually a mix of the most essential ingredients.
The only downside is that they only mention the overall dose – not the one for each ingredient.
But here’s what it contains:
- Apple Extract – seems to promote hair growth [1]
- Millet Extract – improves hair growth rate in alopecia (but I found no study)
- EVNolMax – reduces oxidative stress damage
- Tocopherol – increases hair growth up to 34% (after 8 months) [2]
- L-Methionine – helps prevent hair loss
- Silicon (Horsetail) – improves hair growth speed and thin hair [3]
2. Zinc (10 mg)
This is one of the best ingredients for hair loss.
A zinc deficiency weakens the hair and makes it fall out – so zinc really helps for prevention. [4]
However – the dose from this supplement isn’t very high.
3. Biotin (0.48 mg)
It’s also really helpful for hair in general:
- promotes hair health
- increases growth speed [5]
Conclusion
New Nordic’s ingredients aren’t very special:
- most don’t have many studies behind
- I couldn’t find too much info about some
So in my opinion – there are 3 important ingredients: Silicon (Horsetail), Zinc and Biotin.
When it comes to the rest, I’m not very familiar with them and I couldn’t find too much data.
So to me – that says enough about their potency.
#2 – How To Take It (7 out of 10)
New Nordic’s supplement isn’t as good as others – from this point of view.
1. The Pills
I wouldn’t give them the highest mark:
- pretty thick (compared to others)
- not covered in gelatin
So basically – they’re not really easy to swallow. Considering you need to take 2 per day – they could be better at this chapter.
2. How To Take Them
As I said, you have to take 2 pills per day.
So here’s what the label recommends:
- take them after eating
- make sure you take them before/after other drugs
- you should follow this schedule for 8 months (for best results)
Now – that’s probably the supplement that requires the longest time.
Normally – you should see real results after 3 months at most. 8 months seems way too much when your hair is falling out.
Conclusion
New Nordic’s pills are a bit too thick, if you ask me.
Also – it requires a very long time to work at its best (compared to other supplements – 8 months vs 3).
That’s why I can’t really praise it at this chapter.
#3 – My Results (8 out of 10)
I wasn’t really satisfied with this supplement – though it did work.
1. How I Used It
I have to confess that I only took 2 bottles (that’s around 2 months).
I know they mention to work best after 8 months, but who could wait that long?
- So New Nordic might not have worked at its best for me
- But it was enough to see what it can do
2. How It Worked
Here’s how these pills worked for me:
- My hair loss started to get better with the second bottle.
- However, it didn’t go away completely.
- I would say it reduced with 40% (which is not miraculous).
- My hair did seem to grow faster than before.
- Also, my hair ends stopped thinning as before.
- But in 2 months, I didn’t get too many baby hairs.
So basically – this supplement did decrease my hair loss, but only partially.
It increased my hair growth speed – but it didn’t seem to regrow new hair.
However, I only used it for 2 months – so that could be the explanation. If I had used it for longer, the results might have been better.
But tell me honestly – WOULD YOU TAKE SOME PILLS FOR 8 MONTHS just to see how well they can work?
Because I surely wouldn’t – as long as there are much faster alternatives.
Conclusion
I wouldn’t recommend New Nordic’s supplement.
It does work, but there are much better choices overall:
- cheaper prices
- work much faster
- way better effect overall
#4 – Price (9 out of 10)
In my opinion, New Nordic is pretty good at this chapter.
1. The Exact Price
Here’s what you need to know:
- a bottle costs around $26 (depending on the discount you get)
- that’s the quantity enough for 1 month
Now – the exact price depends a lot of the sellers.
In most supplements, the price was around the same – no matter where you bought it from. But in this case, the price are really different.
2. Where To Find It Cheapest
You can find this supplement in several retailers:
- Amazon
- Ebay
- Official website
- Vitacost
- Other supplement websites
Now – it’s the price that makes the difference between these retailers.
You can find the lowest price on Ebay – but it depends on the seller, so prices really fluctuate. However, Ebay isn’t very safe for some people.
So I would say the best price is on Amazon (around $26 because of the discount) including shipping.
Believe it or not – on the official website, it costs around $40 per bottle.
Conclusion
New Nordic’s product has an affordable price – if you buy it from Amazon.
However – as a price/quality ratio, it’s surely not among my top recommendations.
#5 – Other Opinions (9 out of 10)
One of the reasons why I gave New Nordic a try was because of the reviews:
- most are positive
- many people said it really helped
Now – from what I’ve seen, most reviewers were women. I found very few reviews made by men.
Note: I only considered the reviews that seemed authentic and personal (not general ones).
1. Women
As I expected, opinions were mixed up.
Some really praised this product, while others said it was useless:
- A few people said it really works
- Other said you need to take it for 6 months to tell the difference
- On the other hand, some others said there was no change
2. Men
As I said, I didn’t find too many reviews. For this reason, I assume not many men tried it out.
However – I personally doubt it would help male baldness or hair loss (considering its ingredients).
It just doesn’t seem strong enough to do that, if you ask me.
Conclusion
Opinions about New Nordic were pretty mixed up:
- most were positive
- over 90% were made by women
That’s another extra reason to think that New Nordic isn’t really effective for male hair loss.
So instead – I would prefer to use a product that works for both men and women (the best proof that it’s effective).
#6 – Final Conclusions
Here’s how I would sum up New Nordic’s product in 3 ideas:
1. No Amazing Ingredients
In my opinion, there’s nothing impressive:
- most don’t have any hair-related studies
- there’s very little info about them
- if they were really useful, there was much evidence and data
So that’s the reason why I don’t trust New Nordic’s supplement that much.
Other than that – the doses look pretty good.
2. Needs A Long Time
Even the label mentions this:
- the pills work best after 8 months
So basically – you need to take them for 8 months to get the most of it.
That’s definitely way too much – if you ask me. Many supplements only need 3 months (at most) to work at their best.
3. Works Better For Women
Here’s why I say this:
- I found almost no reviews from men
- very few reviews mentioned hair loss
So most opinions were about how these pills speed up hair growth and everything.
Regarding male baldness or alopecia – there was nothing.
That’s why I would recommend this product to men, when there’s so many effective products out there.
My Verdict – Is Hair Go Worth Buying?
Short answer: Not really. It’s not a bad supplement at all – but there are much better choices.
Why I don’t recommend it? Let me explain:
- Ingredients are pretty weak in my opinion (very little info).
- Pills are pretty hard to swallow.
- It didn’t decrease my hair loss completely.
- Also, it wasn’t the best when it comes to regrowing new hairs.
- In my case, it took about a month until I saw some changes.
- Doesn’t seem to work for male hair loss.
Now – it is indeed an affordable supplement, but what’s the point?
So what do I recommend instead?
A supplement that is my favorite choice for hair loss & growth – because it’s much better overall:
- decreases hair loss completely (in my case)
- speeds up hair growth about 3 times
- works for both men and women
- is a few dollars cheaper
So that’s what I would choose instead and what I recommend you to choose as well.
Out of the dozens of hair supplements that I tried – that was by far the best. So it’s my top pick at this point.

i’m using New Nordic hair grow for 3 months now and I’m a satisfied customer. hair stopped shedding as much as before and is not a lot stronger. i rarely have any hairs falling now when i put it in a ponytail, compared to the past. the only problem are the horse pills, but i cut them into half and take each piece separately. for this small cost, i think it’s worth the effort .
Hi Ally, I appreciate your telling how New Nordic Hair Gro worked. After 3 months, you seem to notice some pretty positive effects. You didn’t mention if it helps your hair growth – but it’s great to hear it decreased your hair loss.
I personally wouldn’t be willing to cut the pieces in 2 and take 4 parts per day, it seems to me like it’s such a waste of time. But if you’re okay with it, keep doing it. I think it’s the best solution, since I also noticed that the pills are pretty large (compared to other products).
So if you’re happy with how New Nordic’s product works, keep using it – you might see even better results in the future.
Hi! Do you think New Nordic could start working in 2 weeks? I have so much hair falling and I need something to stop it ASAP. You said you saw an effect from the second bottle, but are there any chances that it works faster for others (like from the first bottle)? I desperately need a supplement and can’t afford paying so much and this one seems the only low-budget. I tried getting Folexin because i really like it, I could afford it but they don’t ship in my country (Germany). I also have to pay custom taxes for everything I buy, so i have to add this besides the initial cost, that’s why I can’t afford every product I see…I really need an advice with this.
Hello Heidi. New Nordic Hair Gro works faster for some and slower for others. But based on the reviews I read, almost no one saw a big effect from the first bottle. Now – the effect really depends, but I don’t want to give you fake hopes.
So it’s probably not going to stop your hair loss faster than 2-3 months.
Regarding Folexin – it’s normally my top recommendation because it’s really affordable. But I know it doesn’t ship to Germany and most countries from Europe.
The alternative I recommend in these situations is a product with a similar name (Follixin) – because it has the same ingredients but it ships worldwide. It is indeed a bit pricier than Follexin, but at least you can buy it from any country. From what I know, there are very few custom taxes for most countries (other than the shipping). But I can’t tell for sure, because it depends from country to country.
Its shipping cost is $25 no matter where you buy it from – this might seem expensive, but compared to other supplements, I think it’s decent.
I know for sure that Follixin ships to Germany, so you could buy it without any problems.
And in terms of effect, it should improve your hair loss faster than New Nordic’s product. I’m not sure if it could be as fast as 1 month, but it’s possible. Hope this helps.
PS: I also recommend you to have some tests and see if there’s a certain cause for your hair loss. In many cases, there is one. So once you treat it – the hair stops falling massively.
Hi Olly, if interested I want to tell you what I think after 3 months with this supplement.
Pros: makes my hair shiny and smoother, less breakage and shedding, less frizzy hairs, nails grow almost 2x as fast
Cons: doesn’t help with growing my hair, pills are very big and taste like yeast, expensive
Recommended? Only for keeping hair in good shape, not for growing it out. Too expensive!
Hi Georgia, thanks a lot for your clear feedback on New Nordic Hair Growth – it’s really helpful.
I can see you weren’t very satisfied with it in terms of hair growth. In case you need any advice, maybe this growing guide can help.
In terms of supplements, I have one that I mostly recommend for hair growth. It’s called Folexin and it works really well for me. But I recommend it because it’s cheaper than most supplements. New Nordic seems pricey to you at $26, but there are so many products costing over $40. That’s what I call expensive, actually.
Folexin is around $25, but you can also get it for $18 per bottle. That’s only if you buy a larger pack from the start. So it can be cheaper than New Nordic. But in your case, I think it’s better to begin with one bottle and see if it works. In my opinion, it should be better (and faster) than New Nordic.
Hope this helps.
I’m a man trying these pills but without much success. I’m 28 y.o and have an almost bald scalp since going into my 25s. I know the cause is genetic, as all the men from my family had the same issues going on in their teenage years, so I kind of grew up with this in mind. I was prepared, you can say that. It was surely frustrating at first, but then you get used to it. Instead of having a cancer in my 20s I prefer being bald…
But I just said I should try to do something about it, I’m not desperate but if there’s a possible solution, why not try it?
New Nordic’s product seemed really cheap, so I wouldn’t get angry on myself for wasting the money, just in case it doesn’t work. Well it didn’t… I took 3 or 4 bottles by now and there’s still no sign of hair on my scalp. Would have normally quit but they recommend taking these pills for several months. So if I started, I said I should go till the end.
But I’m already starting to get bored struggling to swallow 2 huge pills everyday. Just tell me honestly, do you think I should continue with these? Is there any chance they work, from your experience? I know you can’t tell me anything for sure, but I’d just like to know an unbiased opinion. In exchange to sharing my experience 😛
Hi Edward, I really appreciate your experience with New Nordic’s supplement. So I will try to give you my honest opinion in this.
As far as I know, this supplement doesn’t regrow new hairs. Or if it does, it doesn’t regrow too many. I’m not saying that based on my experience, but on the reviews I read about it.
Plus – its formula isn’t very powerful (compared to other hair supplements).
So if you didn’t see any small effect by now, I would advise you to stop taking these pills. If you have any opened bottle, you can finish it. But I wouldn’t buy another one. I know it’s not pricey, but I doubt it will ever help (if it didn’t help by now).
My top recommendation for male baldness is Folexin – because I know it can regrow new hairs. I even received some photos from a guy trying it and he was really satisfied.
Folexin is the best choice in terms of price, but it only ships in about 30 countries. So if you’re not living in US, UK, Australia and a few other countries – you won’t be able to buy it.
In this case, there’s an alternative with a similar name (Follixin). It has almost the same formula, but it’s a lot pricier ($49 + $25 shipping). So if you don’t live in certain countries, this is the best choice – despite its high price.
So at this point, that’s the only advice I can give you. Hope this helps. And thanks again for letting me know how New Nordic’s supplement works for a man.
I have fine hair that would never grow more than half of my back. I used many treatments, the latest being New Nordic. I can see a small improvement with these pills, but the growth rate hasn’t changed a lot… maybe 0.5 inches more per month, which isn’t something wow. It’s probably not worth the effort of taking 2 big pills everyday. Any ideas on how I could grow my hair longer? Do you think it can’t go below a point, in some people? That’s how I feel about it sometimes. (I’m Asian if it has anything to do with that)
Hi there. I personally don’t think that hair has a growing limit in some people (as long as you’re healthy).
It surely depends of genetics as well, but normally – hair should grow beyond half of someone’s back. That’s what I think.
Thank you for letting me know how New Nordic Hair Growth worked for you. I don’t consider it the best supplements for hair growth, but it’s a decent one. But in your case, I agree that it doesn’t seem to help. 0.5 inches more in a month is almost nothing.
What I also advise you is to consult a specialist and see if you don’t have any hidden health problems (especially minor ones). You could also have a hidden issue on your scalp or anything of this kind. I have a guide on growing your hair longer and faster, maybe that helps. The fact that you’re Asian doesn’t really matter. In fact, I think it should be an advantage, as Asians tend to have very smooth hair (which always looks longer).
Sorry I can’t help more. But if your hair is otherwise healthy, it should grow beyond half of your back – at least at one point.
Hi Olly. Me and my husband have been using New Nordic with mixed results. We both have nails growing like crazy. I could also see some growth in my hair and it also looks more voluminous. But my husband has some early balding and these pills don’t seem to do anything so far. Maybe they could prevent its hair from falling out, but I don’t think they can grow new hairs. That’s my feeling right now.
Hi Stephanie, I really appreciate your feedback on New Nordic Hair Growth.
Unfortunately, it’s not a supplement that can help baldness. You can tell that after its ingredients – but only if you’re familiar with many hair supplement ingredients. Its formula isn’t anything special and it doesn’t contain many of the essential herbs for hair growth.
So I don’t really think your husband should continue taking New Nordic. I mean – it surely doesn’t hurt him, but I doubt it will ever regrow new hairs on that bald part of his scalp.
There’s a product designed specially for male baldness – it’s called Follixin. It’s a bit pricey, but it has a lot of reviews and feedback from men dealing with baldness. Maybe that could help him more.
Thank you so much for all these extra details! There are three key points that I took from this review. The Nordic hair Grow is super Expensive, because if you are taking two pills a day and you are supposed to take for 8 months, and each bottle costs about $26, and that is if you don’t buy from the official website because if you do buy directly from them it costs $13 more, which means the dose for 8 months will end up costing you about $320.
That to me doesn’t even make sense, they should sell it cheaper at their official website.
The next point is that, as a person who has problems swallowing pills, The Nordic Hair Grow will be difficult for me to swallow especially since you mentioned in your article that they are not even gelatine covered.
And the third point is the good news that you gave us, that there are better options, that would work within 3 months, which is actually the normal period most hair loss products give to see results.
Anyway, thank you, Olly, for this super detailed review, it’s been helping me get an un-biased view on this product. I’m not going to be buying it. You recommended some far better options (especially better priced), so I’m really grateful.
Rose.
Hi Rose, thanks for letting me know your opinion on this supplement. I’m glad this review had been helpful for you.
You’re right – the product costs a lot more on its official website, which is completely weird. I say this because products tend to be cheaper on their official websites than on 3rd party retailers (like Amazon). So New Nordic’s situation is very uncommon.
As I said, there are many better alternatives to this product (at least in my opinion). Besides Folexin, I have several other products that I recommend. Here’s the full list, in case you need more options.
I hope this helps.
Well so far after 1 month, this supplement helps me a lot but along with something I learned so many years back.
If you wanna lose weight, a diet is not enough. So for hair it’s the same: if you do this 4 times a week in 4 months you will have new hair and thick ends.
But you have to buy a scalp massager, which is so cheap in the market. Do a 15 minutes massage on your scalp covering all your head, after combing your head until turning red (a couple of minutes and do not worry about fall some hair that is gone fall anyway) add natural coconut oil for scalp and wait at least one hour. Wash your hair with baby shampoo Johnson and Johnson or similar (no detergent). You can use it every day without damaging your hair for the rest of you life.
Few weeks after you will notice no more scalp extra oil and the new tiny and thin hair start to grow …after 4 months more hair should have more volume but remember you have to do it always at least after twice a week ….final comment I’m now 60 years and still doing and I have hair but it’s gray now.
Hi Jose, thanks for your advice. I would not recommend massaging your scalp until it gets red, though. That’s usually a sign that the scalp is getting swollen so the massage is clearly unpleasant for it. You could perform it a bit more gentle, anyway.
But I definitely agree that supplements combined with scalp massage are a great idea. In fact, both are among my recommended steps for growing hair faster – and both also help with volume. So thanks again for sharing your experience with this.
I have been using Hair Gro and am in my seventh month. I am please that I have noticed lots of new hairs and my other hair is growing well too. I plan to use it long past 8 months. Mine are capsules and easy to swallow . I actually take it with my other supplements and have seen good results. If I stop seeing results, I will start taking them at a separate time.
That’s some great news, I’m happy to hear you managed to see such good results. Let me know how it works in these future months.
