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.
Can
Advecia
Assist in Your Individual Pursuit for Slowing Hair Loss?
Yes.
Both diet and nutritional supplementation can provide a positive influence
on hair growth and hair health, as deficiencies of specific nutrients can
actually promote a loss of hair. For example, B-vitamins and the mineral zinc
are common nutrients found in diet that can aid cell renewal and enhance the
factors responsible for hair growth.
There is no doubt that an adequate supplement programs is advantageous for hair
health. However, Advecia's synergistic blend takes nutritional application one
step further, by including specific nutrients that are not easily obtained from
dietary sources alone.
A U.S. patent has been issued for L-lysine, concerning its ability to inhibit
5-alpha-reductase and subsequent management of various forms of hair loss.
Advecia not only includes L-lysine in its ingredient list, but also another
amino acid responsible for increasing the nitric oxide used by hair to promote
new hair growth, L-Arginine.
Saw Palmetto and Beta-sisterol (a phytosterol common to many plants and grain
sources) are also key inclusions. Saw palmetto has been used for centuries to
treat benign prostatic hyperplasia, due to its ability to inhibit testosterone's
action upon the prostate gland. Like L-lysine, saw palmetto blocks
5-alpha-reductase, effectively reducing DHT uptake by hair follicles and
blocking the binding of DHT upon androgen receptors.
Agents from green tea, such as catechins, (-)epigallocatechin-3-gallate, and (-)
epicatechin-3-gallate, are more potent than those found in other plant species.
These agents have been shown in clinical studies to reduce testosterone's
conversion to DHT - processes thought to enhance one's physiological potential
for hair loss.
Lastly, we implemented beneficial proanthocyanidins and procyanidins (flavonoids
found in woody plants) when developing this unique hair loss formula. One of the
more common sources, grape seed, has been shown to stimulate epithelial cell
growth and "check" the growth-inhibiting effect caused by TGF-beta2. A study
published in 2004 supports the addition of this nutrient, recommending an
inclusion of proanthocyanidins in diet as a means to support existing hair loss
therapies.
Hair loss is a very complex process. Genetics are a determinant and dictate what
a person's hair line will become. Advecia has been developed with this premise
in mind:
Although you cannot change your genetics, you can influence the extent of the
hair lost with a combination of diet and nutritional supplementation.
