Hair Loss Herbs

The Facts About Provillus

There are many herbal hair loss products and natural hair loss treatments on the market today. Many of these are perfectly safe to use, but some also have the potential to be dangerous if used incorrectly. There is no regulatory process governing many of these herbal and supplementary hair loss products, which would confirm correct dosages, purity, safety, and efficacy. Any research which is carried out is generally financed by the supplement manufacturers, which would obviously show biased results. The proper dosages for these herbal hair loss treatments seem arbitrary and unproven, just because the natural food outlet sale staff are wearing white lab coats and will attest to the efficacy of the homeopathic product will not mean that they are safe and or effective.

One herbal hair loss treatment is that of Provillus for Men. This is a natural supplement which contains several natural ingredients including vitamin B6, Biotin, Magnesium, Zinc, Saw Palmetto, Stinging Nettle, Pumpkin seed, Eleuthero root, Uva-Ursi and Muira Puama. The manufacturers claim the product works by supplying hair follicles with the nutrition they need to maintain healthy growth. The second part of the treatment involves the daily application of a topical solution that contains Minoxidil. There is also a Provillus for Women option which contains a slightly different herbal composition a a weaker Minoxidil solution.

Does it work? This is difficult to answer as, in common with all such products, its effectiveness has not been properly researched. There is some anecdotal evidence to suggest it can work for some people but this isn't enough to answer with a resounding "yes". Minoxidil has long been accepted as an effective hair loss treatment while some ingredients of the capsules have been investigated in the past to varying degrees of scrutiny and success. Saw Palmetto is the core ingredient of many commercial hair loss products and has developed a reputation as a baldness treatment although there is very little scientific evidence to show that it works to prevent hair loss. The vitamins and minerals included are known to contribute to healthy hair while some of the other ingredients were traditionally popular as hair tonics or contributors to general well-being.

Whether these ingredients combine to deliver an effective hair loss treatment is uncertain. Many users claim it has helped significantly while others reject it as a scam product. The fact that clinical trials have never taken place means we can't know for sure either way.
