Bio-Fen Plus™ is a natural health product used in the treatment of hereditary androgenic alopecia (AGA) in adults (male or female pattern baldness.) It contains scientifically calculated proportions of extracts of fenugreek seeds, saw palmetto berries and flax lignans. Each is known to possess an inhibitor of the enzyme responsible for causing male or female pattern baldness. It also contains a mixture of B vitamins, folate and biotin to help metabolize these herbal extracts so that they are more bio-available, and to support the growth of strong and healthy looking hair. What causes hereditary hair loss?
Each hair grows from a pocket in the skin called the hair follicle. During its growing phase, the follicle has a bulb-shaped bottom, the center of which is called the dermal papilla. The papilla is fed by very small blood vessels, which bring it food and oxygen and remove wastes. The papilla is highly sensitive to hormones and chemicals secreted by the body (or ingested as a medicine) which impacts hair growth. It is believed that some individuals have a genetic predisposition to a receding hairline (most common in men) or hair/follicle thinning over larger areas of scalp (more common in women). These conditions result from hormonal changes caused by an enzyme in the dermal papilla called 5-alpha-reductase. This enzyme breaks down the hormone testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Over a period of time, an over abundance of DHT causes the hair follicle to degrade and shortens the active phase of the hair, leading to thinner hair and eventual hair loss. How does Bio-Fen Plus™ work?
Specific compounds within the herbal extracts inhibit the 5-alpha-reductase (and therefore reduce DHT) to prevent or slow down the rate of hair loss. This process is the principle by which the prescription drugs Rogaine (minoxidil) and Propecia (finasteride) work. However, Bio-Fen Plus™ contains additional compounds which remove excess cholesteol and testosterone – the building blocks of DHT. Bio-Fen Plus™ also contains vitamins to increase blood flow to the small capillaries that feed the hair roots, to deliver the active herbal compounds and remove waste. Therefore,Bio-Fen Plus™ provides a natural, safer alternative to these expensive drugs, and/or expensive & painful hair transplants. As with the prescription alternatives, results vary from person to person, and no one product will work for everyone. How long must I use Bio-Fen Plus™?
Bio-Fen Plus™ capsules are usually effective at stopping hair loss within the first two months.
However, since healthy hair grows only about 1 cm each month, it may take up to three months before you notice that hair growth is increased or further hair loss is stopped. Anyone experiencing new growth will see it within four to six months. Once results become apparent, some users are able to reduce their Bio-Fen Plus™ supplement dose to one capsule every second or every third day. Some clients will continue to take Bio-Fen Plus™ daily. Once you stop completely, however, your hair growth pattern will slowly go back to the point where you started.
