By Robert Scheer Anyone worried about hair loss may be interested in Provillus, a hair loss treatment that is very different from most. Hair loss is more common in men than in women, but both genders can suffer. This is because loss of hair in 95% of individuals is caused by the interaction of a hormone and an enzyme that occur naturally in the body. The hormone is testosterone, and both men and women produce testosterone, although because most men have much more testosterone than most women, baldness it more common in men than in women. The problem begins when testosterone gets together with the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase. This can result in the production of another hormone, dihydrotestosterone, known as DHT. It is the DHT that has been linked to 95 percent of all hair loss. DHT causes hair loss by shrinking the hair follicles. It also causes the skin on the scalp to thicken and become less flexible. As a result, blood flow to the follicles is restricted. This makes the follicles shrivel up until the hair falls out and doesnt re-grow. If there were a way to get rid of DHT, then would hair loss be prevented and would healthy hair start to grow back? This has been shown to be true using the ingredients in Provillus. One of the primary ingredients that make up Provillus is saw palmetto. Saw palmetto is a fan palm (Arecaceae tribe corypheae) widespread in the southeastern USA, most frequently along the Atlantic and Gulf coast, in addition to as far inland as southern Arkansas. What makes saw palmetto so interesting is that it is one of the few natural plant products approved by the US Food and Drug Administration to be used in a hair loss program. Saw palmetto reduces the level of DHT, and therefore helps prevent hair loss and assists in the re-growth of hair. Besides saw palmetto, Provillus also contains vitamins such as B6 and accepted extracts that make vital nutrients available to the scalp and hair follicles. The process of keeping the hair one has and restoring the hair one has lost is said to be trouble-free and successful. If a consumer is worried about whether or not Provillus will be effective for him or her in solving the hair loss problem, the manufacturers provide a money back guarantee, thus removing the risk of whether or not Provillus should be tested.
