Been taking the postpartum nutrafol for about a month and quickly gained several pounds. I’m very active, do peloton boot camps and run 4-5 days/week. Upon researching ingredients the shatavari root is often used to “promote healthy weight gain”, so that’s my guess as to what is causing it.
I find the previous comments dismissing claims of weight gain from “benign”, “otc vitamins” super ignorant. 🙄 This supplement obviously contains more than just your daily recommended dose of vitamins. |
Nutarful is the only thing that I can contribute my weight gain to as well. It is the only change I made in my life and I have been gaining weight, despite working out harder And eating well. in the last three months that I’ve been taking it I’ve gained 5 pounds and can’t get below like I usually do definitely messes with digestion as well, and has made me even more depressed now that my scale is going up, and I just feel flabby!! I wanted this to work so bad, but I’m calling it quits by the way it is the vegan formula. |
You are right, it also contains a lot of herbal supplements, which can have metabolic effects and are not well studied or regulated. |
I had the same experience with the vegan formula It diminished my appetite somewhat so I know I wasn’t eating more. I am still trying to lose the weight after stopping a few weeks ago. |
Since I have been taking nutrafol women's balance I have gained weight. Roughly 8-10 pounds. I just started my 5th bottle. It is not just gaining weight I have an issue with but I consistently feel bloated. I am happy I found this page....I was thinking I was crazy wondering how a supplement that was "healthy" could cause me to gain weight. I am going to stop taking it for awhile and see what happens. |
Nutralfol definitely makes you gain wieght. I gained 20 lbs in 4 months, BUT, my hair looks amazing.
I am currently exercising and cutting calories, so the gain did slow down some. You gotta monitor your diet and exercise on this vitamin. However, hands down, it really transforms the health of your scalp and hair for the better. For some people, its most definitely worth the fews extra pounds. I think for every pound, I gained an inch of thickness and length. Loving the results of Nutrafol, but struggling with the wieght gain. |
I don't have 20 inches of extra hair, but my hair is much thicker, and has grown about 3 inches in 4 months. |
Been taking it for 2 weeks and 3 days and it definitely caused weight gain. I started noticing it in my face and arms. I’m no longer taking Nutrafol and I cancelled my subscription. |
Same here since October weight is a factor. First time I went on a diet and couldn’t lose a pound and I usually do lose I workout and eat clean |
Nutrafol is pseudoscience snake oil |
I have gain several pounds quickly. I see har growth, nit interested in being 10-15 lbs heav. |
Sounds like an anti-Nutrafol troll found this thread. |
It absolutely can cause weight gain! |
