New studies reveal that the ingredients in Advecia may be helpful with hair loss in men and women by reducing DHT production.
Testosterone is a hormone found primarily in males and can be seen in increasing amounts in females as they approach menopause. Testosterone itself does not have any negative effective on the hair follicles. However, when testosterone reaches the oil glands in the hair follicles, it comes in contact with the enzyme, 5-alpha-reductase.
5-alpha-reductase is directly responsible for the conversion of testosterone
into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This process is a precipitating factor for alopecia
in both men and women. Newly formulated Advecia can help limit DHT production
by blocking the action of 5-alpha-reductase. In addition, Advecia may increase
nitric oxide production which can further promote new hair growth.
Advecia has been formulated to restore the appearance of existing hair, while
decreasing the psychosocial impact of hair loss. Although hair loss is a mainstream
condition, most people fail to realize that permanent hair loss is a disease.
Hair loss affects nearly 40% of all men and women in their respective lifetimes.
The view of hair loss and its social impact varies between the two sexes. Men
often view hair loss as a fact of life, while women view it as a cosmetic tragedy.
Regardless of individual opinion, it is important to understand why this condition
occurs and the treatment options (both medicinal and natural) that currently
exist.
Hair loss can range from mild thinning to complete baldness. When the loss of hair is constant, it can negate personal coping strategies for self-acceptance. Despite what many experts say, in our appearance-laden culture, your personal value or self-worth is (sadly) often defined by your outer appearance. In fact, its been reported that:
93% of men and women think about hair loss
88% of these persons feel frustrated and helpless about their condition
However, this does not mean that individuals should let intimidation and helplessness
keep them from taking steps to prevent future hair loss. Instead, hair loss
sufferers should address the cause through the approaches of modern medicine
and nutritional supplementation. Concerning those with hair loss issues: individuals
who take the initiative to understand and manage their condition are often the
ones that feel best about themselves.
Minimize your hair loss and maximize its re-growth with the unique combination
of herbs, vitamins, and amino acids, found in Progressive Health's popular hair
loss formula, Advecia.
By inhibiting the damaging effects of 5-alpha-reductase, Advecia can help slow
or even possibly stop the damaging effects of hair loss
Hair is cyclical, and goes through a pattern or number of distinct phases. The anagen phase is the growing phase; catagen is referred to a transitional phase between growth and follicle resting; and lastly, the telogen phase is the cessation of growth. The telogen or latent phase is when hair loss occurs. Over the course of our lifetimes, a single hair follicle may undergo as many as 10 to 20 of these anagen-catagen-telogen cycles. This may seem excessive, but keep in mind that the telogen phase only encompasses 10-15% of hair follicles and lasts only 100 to 200 days. On the other hand, 85-95% of our body hairs are in a constant growth (anagen) phase. So how does hair loss occur amidst all this growth?
Normally, we lose between 50 and 100 hairs per day as a result of our normal hair cycle. However, when this cycle is abnormal and hair loss is no longer falling out in a natural, random pattern, you may develop a temporary or ongoing disease state. This is termed Alopecia. Unfortunately, certain individuals are predisposed to the types of hair loss which progress into this disease state. Physical harm to the scalp, certain medications, excessive use of styling products, surgical procedures, severe infection, eating disorders, and certain physiological conditions, such as thyroid disease, are other causes of temporary or permanent hair loss.
"People with hair loss may be more likely to have
a negative body image than those without hair loss."
The top influences for hair loss are genetic in nature. For instance, male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) is thought to result from such genetic predisposition. Scientists are still trying to discover the exact mechanisms, or genetic blueprints, that influence hair loss as a whole; but most agree that hair loss is polygenic, or is caused by several genes rather than one specific genome. In addition, the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase is thought to be another causative agent concerning hereditary hair loss. New drugs aimed to block this enzyme's action have proved successful in slowing down the progression of hair loss. The inhibition of specific growth factors (e.g. TGF-beta2) and dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a potent androgen, has also been effective in numerous clinical studies aimed at treating hair loss. However, genetic susceptibility, such as hair follicle sensitivity, hormones, and androgens, are still thought to be the main factors influencing permanent hair loss in both sexes.
The most common form of hair loss is Androgenic Alopecia, or male pattern baldness.
Other types of hair loss include:
Traumatic Alopecia - results from hair being torn out of the scalp;
Drug-induced Alopecia - hair loss caused by the administration of a given medication;
Alopecia Areata - or patchy hair loss, is thought to occur from a immunological
disorder and is usually reversible.
There are blood measurements that can be done to define existing levels of enzymes and androgens, but realistically, there is no definitive test to determine if a given individual will or will not lose hair. Although the causes of permanent hair loss are genetic, the likelihood of one developing the disease is not necessarily solely dependent on the genes obtained from your mother's side of the family. It has been clearly established that both parents contribute to a child's risk for developing hair loss. However, some individuals with no family history also develop permanent hair loss. Additionally, Asian men are less likely then Caucasians to develop baldness. On average, Asian men develop balding patterns nearly a decade later than whites. African-Americans are approximately 4 times less likely to suffer from abnormal hair loss than persons of other descent.
1. Provides Essential Nutrients to Scalp- Advecia first works to reverse the effects of the hormones that caused the initial hair loss. By using RNA (ribonucleic acid) nutrients are delivered to the hair follicle, slowly making it stronger and thicker.
2. Revive Hair Follicles- Advecia eliminates clogged hair follicles by dissolving
dead skin cells, scalp oil (sebum), and residue from shampooing and may reverse
the damage caused by DHT. Then, RNA works with your natural DNA processes to
deliver vital nutrients to the follicle.
3. Advecia Nourishes and Stimulates Hair Follicles- Our 100% natural formula provides hair follicles with capsicum, amino acids, and essential minerals to avoid NDF (Nutrient Deficient Follicles). With proper nutrition and increased blood flow to the scalp, dormant follicles can begin producing healthy hair once again.
