Provillus

Provillus Report

Anyone worried about hair loss may be interested in Provillus, a hair loss treatment that is very different from most. Hair loss is more common in men than in women, but both genders can suffer. This is because loss of hair in 95% of individuals is caused by the interaction of a hormone and an enzyme that occur naturally in the body.

The hormone is testosterone, and both men and women produce testosterone, although because most men have much more testosterone than most women, baldness it more common in men than in women. The problem begins when testosterone gets together with the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase. This can result in the production of another hormone, dihydrotestosterone, known as DHT. It is the DHT that has been linked to 95 percent of all hair loss.

DHT causes hair loss by shrinking the hair follicles. It also causes the skin on the scalp to thicken and become less flexible. As a result, blood flow to the follicles is restricted. This makes the follicles shrivel up until the hair falls out and doesn't re-grow.

The makers of Provillus are sufficiently confident their product performs as described that they stand behind it with a six-month, full-refund guarantee.
