Free Provillus Review

There are many factors that contribute to hair loss, hormones, heredity, stress, illness, diet, and poor hair care can all help to cause hair loss. Diet, stress, and illness are the temporary conditions and once you either remove the stress or cure the illness, change the diet, things should in most cases go back to normal.

Hormones and heredity are a much more different matter. Heredity is a condition that is irreversible. Your parents pass certain physical traits along to there children and hair loss can often be one of these. With hormones, it is completely different and they will have effect people differently.

With males, testosterone is produced in abundance. There are enzymes that alter testosterone, this in turn produces something called DHT. DHT is known to be present in the blood and also it can cause other conditions, the shrinking of the hair follicles is one of these. If a hair follicle shrinks, enough it will be unable to grow or produce new hair. With the old hair dying constantly falling, it will not be replaced as is normally the case.

In women, a hormone imbalance can cause hair loss. Childbirth, pregnancy, and menopause can all lead to significant changes in the levels of hormones in the body, leading to both mental and physical effects. You can also find that during this time these changes can cause temporary or permanent loss of hair.

Products to help with hair loss and re growth have existed for centuries. The American Indians, Mayans, Aztecs, and Egyptians used a verity of oil based and herbal remedies with varying degrees of effectiveness.

For the most part, medical research has been focusing on ways to help to reopen and stimulate the hair follicles that are “dead”. The hair would then grow as it would normally and also helps to avoid damaging the still healthy hair follicles. This has lead to a number of products being available both over the counter and also by prescription.

One main ingredient in many of these hair loss products is Minoxidil. There has been research done to show that about 80% of people will find that this helps to slow hair loss and also can cause regrowth in some.

Another product that contains minoxidil is Provillus, and studies have shown that it is effective. Provillus is different from other similar products in that it has an added ingredient, Azelaic Acid; this seems to enhance follicle repair in men and women.
