Hair loss a problem for you? Advecia ingredients
Advecia Research:
Saw Palmetto Extract- Conventional
treatments for male pattern baldness generally involve blocking the
conversion of the male hormone testosterone to dihydrotetosterone (DHT)
using 5-alpha reductase inhibitors. These products often have
bothersome side effects and may not even be that effective depending on
the severity of hair loss. Saw palmetto also functions as a 5-alpha
reductase inhibitor, making it useful in male pattern hair loss. In a
double-blind, placebo controlled study, 60% of men treated with a
liposterolic extract of Saw palmetto and beta-sitosterol were rated as
improved on the final visit (1).
Phytosterol extract-
This category of compounds is one of the active components in Saw
palmetto. Phytosterols exhibit 5-alpha reductase inhibition, making it
useful in treating male pattern baldness (2).
Beta-sitosterol-
As mentioned, blocking the enzyme 5-alpha reductase is an effective
approach to treating male pattern baldness. Beta-sitosterol functions
in this capacity and in a double-blind, placebo controlled study, 60%
of men treated with a liposterolic extract of Saw palmetto and
beta-sitosterol were rated as improved on the final visit (1).
Green Tea Extract-
Extracts of green tea contain polyphenols which influence hair loss. A
specific component EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) is a potent
inhibitor of 5-alpha reductase (3). In animal studies of spontaneous
hair loss, green tea extract has demonstrated the ability to produce
significant hair regrowth when compared to control (4).
L-Arginine-An
amino acid that plays a role in the basic biology of hair and skin
growth, L-arginine may be beneficial to people with hair loss (8).
Research has shown that L-arginine can protect against oxidative damage
to the hair shaft from chemical coloring agents (9).
L-lysine-
Nutritional factors often play a role in various patterns of hair loss.
This amino acid can be useful in patients noticing increased hair
shedding. A double-blind study of subjects with hair loss who were
taking L-lysine and iron showed that a significant proportion of
patients responded well to the treatment (5).
Grape seed extract
-Components found in grape seed extract may be useful in treating hair
loss. Toxicology studies in animals show that grape seed extract is a
safe product, not affecting blood cells or producing adverse effects
(6).
Proanthyocyanidins/Procyanidins-
These naturally occurring phytochemicals can affect the process of hair
growth. Procyanidin B2 can act as a growth promoting factor in animal
hair cells. In a double-blind, controlled clinical trial of a 4 month
procyandin B2 treatment, increased hair diameter and number of hairs
were observed (7).
