SAW PALMETTO
Inhibition of 5 alpha-reductase and prevention of conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone contributes to activity of saw palmetto in androgenic alopecia. It is suggested that this condition involves increased sensitivity of hair follicles to DHT, reducing their growth phase and size.

BETA-SITOSTEROL
Inhibition of 5 alpha-reductase, which prevents conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), contributes to activity of beta-sitosterol in androgenetic alopecia. Reduction of cholesterol bioavailability by beta-sitosterol may also reduce biosynthesis of testosterone and DHT. It is suggested that androgenetic alopecia involves increased sensitivity of hair follicles to DHT, reducing their growth phase and size.

NETTLE ROOT
Stinging nettle root contains polysaccharides with immunomodulating and weak anti-inflammatory effects. The root seems to have an antiproliferative effect on prostatic epithelial and stromal cells; and may also lessen the effects of androgenic hormones by competitively blocking access to human sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG).

CO ENZYME Q10
Co Enzyme Q 10 stimulates circulation thus fulfilling an important role in oxygenation and energy production. It is best recognised for its “anti-aging properties”. Its usage is incumbent on any individual using chronic medication. Co enzyme Q10 is an important ingredient for senior citizens whose circulation is compromised. Many people who supplement with Co enzyme Q10 daily report thicker stronger hair. Prior to undergoing surgery and chemotherapy patients should supplement with Co- Enzyme Q10 to minimize hair loss and maintain existing hair.
