Provillus is a hair loss remedy that combines the FDA-approved Minoxidil with various herbal remedies known to aid in hair re-growth, as well as normal, healthy hair growth. In addition to using the topical solution, the company advises that men take the supplement twice daily to supply hair follicles with nutrition they need to stimulate re-growth.

The natural Provillus supplement includes the following vitamins, minerals, and herbs:

'''Vitamin B6''' is supports healthy body functions, including normal hair growth.

'''Biotin''' is a B vitamin that aids in the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates, playing a key role in role in supporting healthy skin, hair and nails.

'''Zinc''' helps maintain a strong immune system and normal functioning of enzymes. It supports cell division, and helps maintain normal healthy skin, nails, and hair.

'''Saw Palmetto extract''' can be traced back to the Mayans who used it as a tonic, and back to the Seminoles who consumed the berries as an expectorant and an antiseptic. '''Saw Palmetto''' appears to possess 5-reductase inhibitory activity, preventing the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone. It is suggested that '''Saw Palmetto''' may block some effects of testosterone, reducing male pattern hair loss.

'''Nettle root''' has been used for centuries in shampoos and hair tonics. It was also used as a spring tonic, after a dark winter with no vegetation. It was often steamed for a green vegetable like spinach, as well as used in soup.

'''Pumpkin Seed''' extract has shown activity to balance testosterone levels. The Incas, Mayans, and various Native American tribes use it to promote healthy, lustrous hair.

'''Eleuthero Ginseng''' is also known as Siberian Ginseng. It has been traditionally used as a tonic, increasing energy. It helps support and maintain hormone balance.

'''Uva-Ursi''' extract supports normal urine flow, contributing to overall health and comfort.

'''Muria Pauma''' bark extract comes from the bark of a small Brazilian shrub. In Brazil, it has been used by native males to help support a man's needs. '''Muria Pauma''' helps a man maintain a vital, healthy out-look on life.

Provillus also provides a similar product for women. The Minoxidil is used as a topical ointment. Since women's hair loss is a little different, the supplement only includes Vitamin B6'''Bold text''', Botin, Magnesium, and Horsetail Silica.

Hair loss can be caused by various factors. It is important to consult a doctor before starting any treatment. It is not suggested that breastfeeding or lactating women use Provillus.

I often get panicked emails from women who want me to help them determine the cause of their accelerated shedding so that this knowledge can help them to stop it. An examples of some of the comments that I've gotten are: "I've had shedding before, maybe some seasonal hair loss or some slight hair loss during or after pregnancy, but this is something else. It's much worse. At this rate, I'll be bald in no time;" or "I've shed before but this time it's really bad and my scalp itches and hurts. This is different than before. What could be causing this?" I'll address these concerns in the following article.

TE (Telogen Effluvium): Generally speaking, most prolonged and accreted hair loss and shedding falls under the TE umbrella. Specifically though, many different things can cause this. Sometimes there are medical issues like an illness or surgery. Sometimes, you've changed your medications or have started a new one (common culprits are anti depressants, birth control pills, heart medications, and hormones or anti androgens.) Sometimes, internal hormonal changes are at play (menopause, hypo or hyper thyroidism, or adrenal insufficiency or burn out.)

The treatment and / or cure for TE depends on what is causing it. If you can address or fix the cause, this is the first thing that you should do. For example, you can try an alternate but equally effective medication. Or, you can balance your hormones. But in cases like surgery or giving birth, there is little that you can do but wait, address any inflammation of the scalp, and try to hurry along and stimulate healthy regrowth.

Scalp Issues: Sometimes, there is nothing internally going on, but your scalp is to blame. Often what ever is going on with your scalp or hair follicles causes inflammation that chokes out or negatively affects your hair follicles causing many to go into the resting phase at one time. Examples of this are yeast infections or yeast overgrowth, ring worm, or bacteria infections.

Sometimes, a new shampoo that you use may not agree with you. Or, more commonly the hair dye that you use can cause a very negative reaction. Everyone experiences a little hair loss when they dye their hair but some people get severe reactions. Sometimes along with the shedding you'll see redness, irritation, little bumps, or scaling. The treatment for this is effectively treating and healing the scalp. Be careful that the treatment you chose isn't so harsh that it makes the problem worse.

Coping With Awful Hair Shedding: I know that this is psychologically hard. It's easy to panic when you see all that hair. It's easy to let you mind wander to a place where you become afraid that, at this pace, you'll become bald. In truth, it would take about three years of constant shedding and no regrowth for this to happen. As long as you're regrowing, you should be OK.

It's important to know that, whatever the cause of your loss, there are always effective treatments that you can explore. Wear dark clothes so that you aren't always having to pick hair off yourself with embarrassment and never count your shed hairs (hoping to be under the "normal" 100 per day.) So many people will tell you that this becomes a very distressing habit that makes it difficult to ignore what's going on. Try to distract yourself with other things as stress will likely only make the situation worse. Focus on what you have control over - stress reduction, getting a healthy diet, finding and eliminating your trigger (if possible), supporting healthy regrowth and addressing any inflammation or issues on your scalp.

Premature balding is something that both men and women have to face as they start to age and get older. If you are starting to notice that your hair is getting thinner or you are starting to bald a little bit and you are only in your twenties or thirties, then perhaps you need to look into a thinning hair remedy or two!

Your hormones play a big part when it comes to hair thinning and premature balding; it has been genetically proven that hair loss is actually in the genes. If our mother or father starting losing their hair at a young age then chances are, you may start to lose your hair at a young age too.

Luckily, there are remedies that you can use and ways that you can actually stop the hair loss or hair thinking problem altogether. If you are looking for a thinning hair remedy, then you may want to look into some sort of shampoo that you can use that will help to stop the thinning process while it grows your hair back.

This is sort of a two-in-one sort of shampoo and it can be found online or at any major drugstore. There is also an entire line of products that you can buy online in order to stop your balding. There are pills you can use that are completely natural and safe.

Getting older and losing your hair is one thing, but being young and going through premature balding can be brutal. If you need a thinning hair remedy, then you need to start looking online and see what you can find. There are many products that have proven to be very effective and is used by many people.

Perhaps if we understood the true cause of hair loss then we might be able to unlock how to cure it completely and perhaps even grow back old hair? In this article, I'll quickly take you to the root cause of the problem and show how we can indeed cure it, completely naturally, without the need for drugs.

Starts With Testosterone

Every man produces a lot of testosterone. Most of it originates in the testes but some also is generated elsewhere in the body. This floats around the body but is not all that useful in itself.

So the body converts it into derivative chemicals called "androgens". DHT is one of these androgens.

DHT

DHT is used throughout the body, for example in the liver. However, it can have adverse effects.

For example, it can collect in the region of the scalp and over several years it can cause the hair follicles (where your individual hairs are made) to become denutrified.

DHT stops the hair follicles from getting all the usual nutrients that they need from the large network of tiny blood vessels under your scalp.

Life Cycle Of Male Pattern Baldness

As the follicles receive less and less nutrition, they start to produce hairs that are thinner and thinner with every cycle.

Eventually the follicles just stop producing hairs altogether. You get bald spots where the hair follicles lie dormant for around 4 years until eventually they "die off" and can no longer produce any new hairs ever again.

Drugs & Natural Ingredients

Both drugs and natural herbal hair tonics work in the same way except that drugs have many side effects. Using them both will break apart the collected DHT and redisperse it, and will also renutrify the hair follicles.

As a result, within a few months your hair loss will stop and your will start to grow hairs back again in your bald spots that are less than 4 years old. Within 6 months there is a noticeable difference and within a couple of years there is a radical, major difference.
