This is caused by a genetic predisposition of individual hair follicles that renders them more sensitive to normal circulating levels of androgens (male sex hormones). Increased levels of 5 alpha-reductase in these genetically predisposed hair follicles causes the conversion of male sex hormones (androgens) into dihydrotestosterone, the hormonal culprit responsible for androgenic alopecia. Dihydrotestosterone continues to damage and miniaturize hair follicles.

 As the ongoing effects of dihydrotestosterone damage hair follicles, the body responds to this injury with an inflammatory response, primarily mediated by the immune system. The cells of the immune system cause inflammatory reactions that further damage these hair follicles, and most likely lead to their eventual deaths.

 The natural formula contains natural herbs, fruits, plants , minerals and vitamins which have been shown to be powerful antiandrogens, which blocks a form of 5-alpha-reductase called typeI and type II 5-alpha-reductase from converting as much testosterone to DHT as would be the case without treatment. The result is lower levels of DHT in the scalp. The lower levels of DHT in the bloodstream appear to inhibit susceptible hair follicles from further miniaturization. This effect slows, and in many cases stops further hair loss.

 Over time, in some individuals, some miniaturized hair follicles begin to grow back to normal size, and begin to grow normal size hairs again. The degree of hair re-growth can vary from no measurable re-growth to significant re-growth.

 This effect works like the drug Finasteride (Propecia) but without any long term side effects since all our ingredients are natural herbs, minerals, vitamins and fruits extracts. To read more about the function and research reports of each ingredients just click on the link below :
