Hello,
AMWAY products are supposed be organic and belong to international class and are very good and can be used by anybody but all these products are nutritional supplements only and should be used only if your doctor wants to give you calcium,magnesium,VIT D,VIT E and protein.These are good supplements and can be should be taken by everybody but if you want to take it for your hair loss,then I dont think these are going to help you in that however you may take them as general health supplements.
Thanks
