List of ingredients and supplements for hair health

[Jacob]

Not a list of every hair supplement out there. How about things that are a bit...oh...unique. Something like Maxi Hair by Country Life may be good for hair health..but nearly every company has a hair or hair and skin product out there that revolves around the same ingreds. But feel free to post any such products that may be more comprehensive and/or with an ingred/ingreds not in all the other products.

Proglyme:http://www.professionaldietetics.com/pr ... ymeDS.html

Proglyme is an exclusive mixture of Amino Acids which provides fibroblasts with the necessary stimulus to synthesize new collagene. Actually, the activity of the connective tissue cells (fibroblasts) reduces over time because of aging or other agents (eating habits, diets, smoking, intense physical activity, long exposure to the sun) bringing about a growth of cutaneous blemishes.
More is high the Amino Acids quantity (Glycine, L-Proline, L-Lysine) available in the interested areas, more fibroblasts vitality and their number increase.

TRICHOLOGY
Studied to protect, nourish hair and to reduce its loss.

Treatment effect (1 tiny bottle a day for 90 days) :

Hair thickening: a statistically significant hair thickening and a consequent decrease of the parting amplitude (Dunnet test p<0.05 T90 vs T0 with a variation percentage versus T0 equal to 13.88%).
Significant increase of shaft thicknes: a statistically significant increase of shaft thickness (Dunnet test p<0.05 T90 vs T0) with a diameter measurement increase of 9.18%. This increase was still evident after 1 month treatment (6.16%).
Important variation of hair resistance to traction: Still after 1 month Proglyme® treatment, hair resistance to traction resulted significantly increased (Dunnet test p<0.05 T30 vs T0 with an increase of 15.17%). This increase was yet more consistent at the end of the test (Dunnet test p<0.05 T90 vs T0 with a percentage of increase equal to 20.03%).

AC-11 (cat's claw): http://www.optigenex.com/

Although the exact mechanisms of action are not all completely understood, our scientists believe that when the body is subjected to stress that may affect the integrity of the DNA (overexposure to the sun for example), AC-11® helps activate enzymes that are instrumental in the repair processes. In a series of peer reviewed scientific and clinical studies conducted by third party laboratories and university medical centers, we have shown that AC-11® helps the body’s natural ability to repair DNA.

AC-11® studies moreover show that the CAEs unique to our product not only enhance significantly the body’s natural ability to repair damaged DNA, but also measurably improve natural collagen III production in the skin.

Collagen III is a form of collagen associated with soft, supple, youthful-looking skin. As we age, our cells gradually produce less collagen III than they did when we were young. However, laboratory research shows significant, measurable increases in collagen III production in adult skin cells treated with AC-11®.

AC-11® also helps to normalize the expression of NF-KB in the cells, thereby regulating cellular response to inflammation. NF-KB is a nuclear transcription factor that influences numerous gene-encoding proteins important in apoptosis (programmed cell death), inflammation and cellular growth. A normal expression of NF-KB minimizes the hazards of excessive oxidative stress. An over-expression of NF-KB triggers increased inflammation.

In a human study, AC-11® demonstrated a positive effect on lymphocytes, increasing their life span and, by implication, enhancing the body’s immune system.

AC-11® differs from all other Uncaria tomentosa products, some of which are sold under the common name “cat’s claw,” in that its molecular composition is distinct by virtue of the Optigenex patented process. AC-11® is standardized, pure, water-soluble and micro-filtered to contain only low weight molecules (<10,000 Daltons). AC-11® is relatively alkaloid free (<0.05%) and is the only product available anywhere containing a patented class of CAE actives shown by extensive research to have healthy aging and natural DNA repair enhancement properties. No other Uncaria tomentosa product can make these claims. AC-11® moreover has been studied for efficacy and safety for over ten years.

I've noticed quite a few other products out there containing the stuff these days. Rephair was one of the first: http://www.rephairbypierremichel.com/

[olivialowrie]

Wow Thanks! I can't buy them all right now. Which do you suggest that I should buy first?

[Jacob]

Hey olivialowrie..welcome to Hairlossfight. And that's a good question. I'm looking at trying that "Hair Renew Formula" but I'd love to be able to afford the Proglyme and even some others as well.

Anyone find anything else worth posting in this thread? I guess another one would be MSM..and combos such as this: http://www.natureshealingremedies.com/product/1005

Cynatine HNS: http://roxlor.com/cynatinehns.php


http://www.prweb.com/releases/DouglasLa ... 730899.htm

Roxlor recently conducted a new human clinical trial examining the benefits of Cynatine® on hair, nails and skin over a 30 to 90 day period. In their results publicized today, Cynatine® was reported to reduce everyday hair loss by up to 46 percent, while promoting hair growth, strength and shine. Cynatine also enforced the strength and appearance of healthy nails. Taken orally, Cynatine reduces the overall appearance and depth of wrinkles and promotes skin integrity and elasticity, while at the same time improving skin moisture by up to 30 percent, when compared with placebo.

Notice all the other descriptions..including Douglas Labs...talk about a 30% reduction in hair loss. I'm assuming that's the average since the quote above says "up to 46%".
