Phyllotex® for male pattern baldness

Table of Contents

Male pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia (AGA), is a common condition in men that manifests as hair loss and thinning. It is related to both genetics and hormones and typically shows up as a receding hairline or thinning on the crown. While there is no cure for male pattern baldness, some studies have shown that certain nutrients and supplements can help slow or reverse its progression.

What causes male pattern baldness?

The most likely cause of male pattern baldness is an inherited sensitivity to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This is a natural substance produced around hair follicles, and in response to the genetic trigger, it has a negative effect on hair growth, causing a shortening of the hair growth phase. As a result, hair is thinner and hair follicles are smaller. In combination, this disruption in the hair growth cycle results in lower numbers of the longer and thicker hairs that normally grow on the scalp.

Welcome a major new treatment for AGA – Phyllotex

Apart from ensuring that you are not deficient in the basic vitamins and minerals we identified above, there is now a way to actively fight the effects of DHT, with the new Phyllotex hair loss supplement, made up of all-natural ingredients. It works to support hair growth with four separate biological processes:

  • Phyllotex provides nutrients that are proven to be essential for hair health
  • It promotes blood circulation in the scalp so that the hair follicles will be receiving all the essential nutrients
  • It improves the hair’s strength against environmental stressors like pollutants  and UV rays
  • Phyllotex  blocks the follicles from damage produced by DHT.

Understanding hair health

One important nutrient for hair health is biotin, also known as vitamin H. Biotin plays a crucial role in the production of keratin, a protein that makes up a significant portion of hair. Biotin deficiencies have been identified in those experiencing male pattern baldness, identifying it as linked to AGA as well as brittle nails.

Iron is another important nutrient for hair health. An iron deficiency can lead to hair loss. If you are experiencing sudden hair loss, talk to your doctor about the possibility of taking an iron supplement if a check of your iron levels indicates this is necessary.

Vitamin D is also essential for hair growth. Normal levels of the vitamin come through exposure to sunlight, otherwise a vitamin D supplement may be beneficial if hair loss is occurring.

FAQ

What are the other current treatments for male pattern baldness?

A frequently recommended treatment for hair loss is Loniten (minoxidil). It is a topical solution that is applied directly to the scalp. It is believed to work by increasing blood flow to the hair follicles, which helps to stimulate hair growth. Minoxidil has been shown to be effective in treating male pattern baldness, but hair loss returns when you stop using this medicine.

Propecia and Proscar (finasteride) or Avodart (dutasteride) are pills that work by decreasing the amount of the natural hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) that is linked to baldness. They work slightly better than minoxidil, but again hair loss returns as soon as treatment is stopped.

Other treatments currently under investigation include:

  • Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) that is injected directly into the scalp to stimulate hair growth. This requires collecting blood in a series of sessions, concentrating portions with high platelet counts, and re-injecting it into the areas of hair loss.
  • Hair transplants can be conducted, taking tiny plugs of healthy hair from where it is growing and inserting them in bald areas. The procedure is usually expensive and requires multiple treatments.
  • Using lasers to stimulate hair follicles, requiring multiple treatments.

It is important to keep in mind that not all supplements and remedies will work for everyone and results may vary. If you are experiencing hair loss, talk to your doctor or dermatologist to determine the best course of action for your individual situation. Your doctor can help you determine the cause of your hair loss and recommend the most effective treatments and supplements for your specific needs.

In conclusion, male pattern baldness is a common condition in men that can be slowed and even reversed with the use of a supplement like Phyllotex. As well, essential vitamins and minerals like biotin, iron, and vitamin D can all help to improve hair growth or avoid hair loss.
