Hair loss for men

 

One of the main reason for  hair loss in males is  due to the levels of DHT (Dihydro testosterone) in the scalp. The DHT is present in a male immediately after  puberty and the purpose of DHT is to develop secondary sexual characteristics. DHT gets attached to the hair follicle and prevents the assimilation of nutrients to the follicles which in turn cause thinning out of hair and finally shedding of hair which results in major cause of hair loss for men.

Baldness and hair loss is a problematic condition for a large majority of the male population. At a research study held in a university in Virginia, men suffering from hair loss described feelings of vulnerability, helplessness, and jealousy of men with full, healthy hair.
Propecia is considered to be the best hair loss solution especially for men. Impotency and lack of sex drive when taking Propecia are the main side effects observed among men.

Another hair loss solution available in drugstores or pharmacies is "Hair Genesis". The formulation in Hair Genesis works by blocking key androgen receptor sites in the hair follicle from damage caused by DHT. Hair Genesis is available as a topical serum, shampoo, oral supplement and conditioner.

When browsing the internet, you can find thousands of products claiming to prevent hair loss. Selecting the right one can be a difficult task. View the before and after pictures shown on most companies websites. Review each prodcut carefully so you don't buy a scam product. If the images are shot from different angles, the company might try to fool you, because these are known camera tricks to fool one's eye. When a hair loss product is claiming "98% success rate", have a look at their clinical study documentation. If the information provided is vague, stay away!

Male hair loss remedies

Many men are looking for the perfect solution to treat hair loss. Most men feel that the outer appearance is very important if you want to be successful. That's why there is great need for hair loss products..
Although there are numerous causes for hair loss, dietary insufficiency is found to be a major one.
Hair loss can be caused by a deficiency in B vitamins- especially B6, inositol, Biotin, and folic acid. B vitamins, especially B5 (pantothenic acid) and B3 (Niacin) are an important part in growth of hair follicle.

In order to cure hair loss, Vitamin supplement intake should be performed carefully. Reasearch shows that an excessive intake of vitamin B6 by men resulted in stimulated hair growth. Deficiency in folic acid caused complete baldness among some men.

The main function of Vitamin E is to transport oxygen in the blood and improves the scalp circulation. Vitamin E enhances the immune function and thereby the health of the hair gets improved. That's why Vitamin E can also be considered a hair loss vitamin. Vitamin E can be consumed @ 400 IU daily.

Vitamin C can also be considered a hair loss vitamin since it improves circulation of the scalp and maintains all capillaries, which carry blood to the follicles. This vitamin may be consumed 5,000 mg daily.

Other hair loss vitamins are Biotin, Inositol, and B-Vitamins. Biotin maintains the health of the hair. You should eat plenty of food to prevent hair loss due to biotin deficiency. You can also consume 50 mg of Biotin twice daily through food. This will definitely bring fruitful results. The following food is recommended: bulgur, green peas, lentils, walnuts, sunflower seeds, soybeans, oats, bulgur, Brewer's yeast and brown rice. Inositol is also being considered a hair loss vitamin. Take 100 mg twice daily for better hair growth.

Excessive intake of Vitamin A can cause hair loss. Once the intake of Vitamin A is stabilized, the hair loss may be stopped.

For better growth of hair, B vitamins are necessary. Among the B vitamins, Vitamin B3 (Niacin), Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic acid) and vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) are known as hair loss vitamins. B vitamins are rich in foods like bran, nuts, eggs, soybeans, cauliflower, carrots, peas, and beans. Intake of these vitamins will help to improve quality, texture, and growth of hair.
