💇 A professional-exclusive hair growth supplement built around AminoMar Marine Complex — Viviscal PRO's salon-only formulation delivers a higher daily AminoMar dose than the consumer version, making it a defensible retail recommendation for clients with visible thinning or excess shedding.
The formula pairs AminoMar with sulfur amino acids (L-Cystine and L-Methionine) and Biotin to supply the nutritional building blocks associated with normal keratin production. Apple Extract (Procyanidin B2) rounds out the stack, with published research linking it to increases in hair density and shaft diameter. As a 100% drug-free dietary supplement, it sits cleanly alongside color, chemical services, and topical care systems — no pharmaceutical conflict concerns for the general population.
🔧 The 3–to-6-month program structure is practice-friendly: it creates a natural cadence for follow-up consultations and pairs with Viviscal's own topical system for a cohesive thinning-hair retail bundle.
Add it to your thinning-hair consultation workflow when clients need an internal solution to complement what you're doing at the chair.
AminoMar Marine Complex: A proprietary blend of marine proteins derived from mollusk and shark by-products. Provides a concentrated source of amino acids targeted at supporting the nutritional environment of the hair follicle when taken as a daily supplement.: Viviscal's exclusive proprietary complex, sourced from marine proteins (mollusk and shark), not available in any other supplement line. Delivers marine-derived protein building blocks that are absorbed systemically and transported to the scalp via the bloodstream. The professional-strength (PRO) formulation contains 50 mg more AminoMar per daily dose than the consumer retail version.
Biotin: A B-vitamin (B7) that plays a recognized role in the metabolism of amino acids and fatty acids — the building blocks used in keratin production.: Biotin supports the body's normal processing of the macronutrients required to build keratin, the primary structural protein of the hair shaft. Deficiency in biotin is associated with hair fragility; supplementation at adequate levels supports the normal keratin synthesis pathway. Included in both the consumer and PRO formulations.
L-Cystine & L-Methionine: Sulfur-containing amino acids that are essential structural components of keratin.: Cystine (the oxidized dimer of cysteine) and methionine are the two primary sulfur amino acids that form the disulfide bonds giving keratin its mechanical strength. Hair is approximately 14% cystine by composition. Supplementing with these amino acids provides the body with the specific building blocks needed for keratin biosynthesis, supporting normal hair fiber integrity.
Apple Extract (Procyanidin B2) - known as Apple Extract (Procyanidin B2): A polyphenolic compound isolated from apple skin, standardized to Procyanidin B2.: Procyanidin B2 is a specific oligomeric proanthocyanidin fraction found in apple extract. Published research, including the clinical data cited by Viviscal, associates oral intake of this compound with increases in hair density and hair shaft diameter. It is believed to interact with factors involved in the hair follicle growth phase, though the exact systemic mechanism is an area of ongoing research.
Vitamin C: An essential water-soluble antioxidant nutrient (ascorbic acid).: Vitamin C functions as an antioxidant that helps neutralize free radicals — unstable molecules generated by environmental stressors such as UV exposure, pollution, and heat. In the context of hair and scalp health, it supports the body's natural antioxidant defense and contributes to the normal metabolism of collagen, a structural protein present in connective tissues including the scalp.
- Recommend Viviscal PRO as a professional retail supplement during the client consultation, particularly for clients presenting with visible thinning, excess shedding, or post-chemical-service hair fragility.
- Instruct the client to take one tablet twice daily — once in the morning and once in the evening — with a meal and a full glass of water.
- Advise the client that consistent daily use is required; the supplement must be taken every day for a minimum of three months before visible results are typically observed, with full program benefit realized at six months.
- Screen the client for contraindications before recommending: known fish or seafood allergy, pregnancy or nursing status, age under 18, vegan or vegetarian diet, or Kosher dietary restrictions — all are disqualifying per manufacturer guidance.
- Counsel the client that if supplementation is discontinued, the benefits achieved will diminish over time as the hair growth cycle progresses, reinforcing the value of continued use.
Integrating Viviscal PRO into the service menu
Viviscal PRO is most effectively introduced during a scalp or thinning hair consultation, where the professional can visually demonstrate the client's concern and connect it to an internal nutritional solution. The 3–6 month program structure creates a natural opportunity for follow-up appointments — schedule a 90-day check-in to assess visible progress and reinforce compliance. Pairing the supplement recommendation with Viviscal's own topical shampoo and conditioner (Ana:Tel complex with Biotin, Collagen, and Keratin) allows professionals to build a comprehensive thinning-hair retail bundle, increasing average ticket value while keeping the client in a cohesive system the professional can monitor.
