GLA, ALA, and Linolenic Acid
Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA), Alpha Linolenic Acid (ALA), and Linoleic Acid
are essential fatty acids found in plant oils. GLA, ALA, and Linoleic
Acid have been individually shown to inhibit 5-Alpha Reductase. In fact
these are the most powerful inhibitors of 5-Alpha Reductase known today.
In addition, they not only inhibit the Type II form of 5-Alpha Reductase
which other products like Propecia inhibit, but also the Type I form of
the enzyme which is present in high concentrations in the scalp and the
skin.
Azelaic Acid, Vitamin B6 and Zinc
Azelaic acid is a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid found in whole
grain cereals, rye, barley, and animal products. It is FDA approved as
a topical preparation for treatment of acne and is effective against a
number of other skin conditions when applied topically. There is strong
scientific evidence that Azelaic Acid and Zinc are potent inhibitors of
5-Alpha-Reductase. When Azelaic acid, Vitamin B6 and Zinc Sulfate were
added together at very low concentrations, 90% inhibition of 5 Alpha-Reductase
activity was obtained. The synergistic activity of these compounds against
5-Alpha-Reductase makes this combination very effective in treatment of
male pattern baldness.
By combining GLA, ALA, Linoleic Acid, Azelaic acid, Vitamin B6, Zinc Sulfate
and Saw Palmetto extract, they have created a natural yet extremely powerful
anti-DHT formula. These ingredients work through different mechanisms
to synergistically inhibit both type 1 and 2 forms of 5-Alpha Reductase
and decrease DHT locally. By decreasing the DHT levels, follicles can
grow and thicken naturally, leading to a fuller, healthier scalp without
the side effects associated with synthetic drugs.
Procyanidin Oligomers
Procyanidin Oligomers (also known as Proanthocyanidin) are naturally derived
ingredients that have shown to stimulate hair growth similarly to Minoxidil
(Rogaine®). Recent studies by Japanese scientists have shown that
Procyanidin Oligomers possess growth stimulation activity toward hair
epithelial cells in vitro and stimulate anagen induction in hair follicles
in vivo. Addition of Procyanidin Oligomers to Revivogen is intended to
increase the hair growth stimulation properties of the formula.
Saw Palmetto Extract
Saw palmetto has been extensively studied over the past several years
for the treatment of enlarged prostate in men ( BPH ). Saw Palmetto extract
which is a known anti-androgen is the liposerolic extract of the fruit
Saw Palmetto. Saw Palmetto has shown to effectively block the formation
of DHT and is also believed to prevent the binding of dihydrotestosterone
(DHT) to androgen receptors which are also found at the follicles. Like
GLA and ALA it also blocks Type 1 and Type 2 forms of 5 alpha-reductase.
