Return To Hair Loss Article Archive   Search the Article Archives Provillus: Facts about the Hair Loss Treatment Provillus By Robert Scheer Provillus is a hair loss product that claims to go to the root of the problem of male pattern baldness, or androgenic alopecia, as it is known in medical terms. The way Provillus works is to nourish the body with the vitamins it needs not only to prevent the loss of hair but also to regenerate a full head of natural, healthy hair. Research has determined that the major cause of male pattern baldness is the build-up of a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the hair follicles. DHT has been linked to 95 percent of all hair loss. Every human body, both men and women, produces the hormone testosterone. But the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase can convert testosterone to DHT. It is the DHT that shrinks hair follicles, causing the scalp membranes to become thicker and less flexible, so less blood circulated to them. When hair follicles atrophy, the hair falls out and goes not grow back. Because men produce more testosterone than women, men are more prone to baldness. But women also can experience the kind of hair loss that is prevented and remedied by Provillus. Unlike men, who tend to go bald in one ever-widening area, womens hair tends to get thinner all over their heads. Provillus is just as effective for women as it is for men, both in preventing hair loss and helping restore a normal head of hair. Unlike many prescription hair loss treatments that can cause unpleasant side effects, Provillus is like a vitamin pill that is comprised of natural ingredients that are not only good for the hair, but for the body in general. These are some of the active ingredients in Provillus: * Vitamin B6 - Contributes to protein and red blood cell metabolism * Biotin - A part of the B vitamin complex that helps nourish hair and scalp * Saw palmetto - Approved by the FDA for use in hair loss programs * Also: zinc, nettle root, pumpkin oil extract and magnesium The makers of Provillus are sufficiently confident their product performs as described that they stand behind it with a six-month, full-refund guarantee.
