Anyone had experience of Superior Hair capsules recommended for male pattern baldness? A health guru in the UK press is talking it up.
Here is the info on it:
The most common form of hair loss is termed androgenetic alopecia, otherwise known as “male pattern baldnessâ€. Despite its more common name, androgenetic alopecia is also the most common form of hair loss in women. Androgenetic alopecia develops as a gradual reduction of scalp hair follicle size and reduced time in the active growth phase leading to continued hair follicle death and hair loss.
The extent of hair loss is however dictated by the amount of “free†testosterone in the body, the activity level of the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase which converts free testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and the amount of testosterone binding proteins within the immediate vicinity of the susceptible hair follicles.
Superior Hair is a complete hair support formula for men and women. It aids in decreasing hair follicle death due to the over production of DHT and encourages the growth of new healthy hair. This advanced nutritional formulation contains DIM, MSM, herbal extracts, biotin and minerals. Superior Hair is more effective than other products because it contains nutrients not only to prevent hair loss, but it also encourages new hair growth. The combination of well-researched nutrients supports hair strength and follicle health as follows:
Saw Palmetto is a phytosterol that has been used extensively for prostate health. It also seems to work locally at the actual site of hormone binding to receptors on cells. It reduces the receptor binding of androgens, or hormones that convert to testosterone. Saw Palmetto inhibits the enzymes 5-alpha-reductase at the hair follicle that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Research indicates that the combination of Pygeum and Stinging Nettle Root partially block the action of 5-alpha-reductase. Stinging Nettle is also effective at blocking oestrogen formation in order to decrease hair follicle death.
Diindolylmethane (DIM) is a plant compound found in cruciferous vegetables. Structurally DIM is similar to our own hormones and has been shown to interrupt the action of testosterone at the cellular level, thereby reducing the likelihood of its conversion to DHT. Green Tea helps influence serum concentrations of hormones. It has been associated with higher levels of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) which binds with high affinity to testosterone. When testosterone binds to SHBG it is made inactive and cannot bind to androgen receptors or be converted into DHT.
Beta Sitosterol is a phystosterol and Gamma Linolenic Acid is an essential fatty acid. Both inhibit the action of 5-alpha-reductase. Biotin and Zinc have been shown to prevent hair loss and increase hair growth. There is also some indication that zinc and biotin can help prevent hair from turning grey.
MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane), L-Cysteine and DL-Methionine are sources of sulphur which has been known to promote hair growth and to keep skin soft, supple and smooth. MSM aids in the manufacture of keratin which gives hair its tensile strength. Cysteine, a sulphur based amino acid, is present in alpha-keratine, the main constituent of hair as well as fingernails, toenails and skin. Methionine, another sulphur based amino acid works synergistically with Cysteine to improve hair quality, texture and growth. Cysteine and Methionine also aid in the production of collagen to support the surface of the scalp.
