6 Essential Supplements for Hair Growth

Essential supplements for hair growth are perfect for providing you with that little extra boost you may need in order to promote a healthy head of hair. We have a selection of supplements to help hair growth that can give you non-surgical solutions to hair loss. They are all suitable for a wide variety of different issues and for both men and women.

In this article we will outline these supplements, going over their individual benefits and exactly why they can be branded as essential supplements for hair growth.

Finasteride

Finasteride is one of the most popular supplements to help hair growth as it is ideal for fighting against male pattern baldness. Finasteride blocks the enzyme that converts testosterone, a hormone that promotes hair growth, into dihydrotestosterone, a hormone that cause male hair loss. Finasteride comes in tablet form and is for use in men only. Finasteride is great for not only promoting hair growth, but it also combats the symptoms of male pattern baldness whilst helping to prevent any further hair loss.

Propecia

Propecia works in a similar way to Finasteride and is perhaps the most well-known essential supplement for hair growth. Much in the same was as Finasteride, Propecia blocks the enzyme that turns testosterone into dihydrotestosterone which can promote hair loss. Propecia is incredibly popular and is used by men all over the world. It is known to have had positive effects in over 80% of all of its users and can provide a quick solution to male pattern baldness and general hair loss.

DUTAS

DUTAS, or Dutasteride, is an approved treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia in men. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a condition that often occurs in older men, leading to an enlarged prostate that can lead to bladder and kidney problems. BPH can lead to some issues with hair loss and has been linked with perhaps being a factor in male pattern baldness. DUTAS has been FDA approved for treatment of male pattern baldness and is a good option for preventing and combating symptoms.

Minoxidil for men

Perhaps one of the most effective essential supplements for hair growth is Minoxidil. Minoxidil can be used for both men and women, and we provide multiple different options for both. For men, we have Minoxidil Ultra, Minoxidil Extra and Minoxidil Plus. Minoxidil Ultra is the most innovative formula that combines both Propecia and Regaine. It is ideal for preventing further hair loss and promotes re-growth. Minoxidil Extra is a hormone free approach to hair loss treatments. Extra is designed to increase blood flow to your hair follicles on your scalp that promotes re-growth and an overall healthier head of hair. Minoxidil Plus is an extra strong formula that also promotes blood flow to the scalp.

Minoxidil for Women

Minoxidil products are not only for men, but we also have a range of women’s minoxidil products available. Minoxidil Plus for Women works in a similar way as Minoxidil Plus for men, just with a slightly weaker formula specifically designed for the female scalp. Similarly, the regular formula of Minoxidil for women increases the blood flow to the scalp and is again a more sensitive formula than Minoxidil Plus for Women. Finally, we have Minoxidil and Progesterone. Progesterone is a hormone in the human body that can promote the production of other hormones. This product works by blocking the enzyme that creates dihydrotestosterone, much in the same way as Finasteride.

PRP Therapy

Platelet Rich Plasma therapy is another form of supplement to help hair growth. It is created using your own red and white blood cells and is perfect for dormant or freshly transplanted hair. Your blood is spun at high speeds which increases the concentration of platelets and promotes healthy growth. This blood is then injected into the scalp by a trained professional and is proven to help rejuvenate the hair.
