Hair Essentials

Hair Essentials supports healthy hair in several ways. Its main method is by targeting DHT, a hormone found in our hair follicles. DHT causes the hair follicles to shrink, reducing blood flow and nutrients to the hair shaft and weakening the hair until it eventually falls out. Hair Essentials uses a powerful combination of herbs and nutrients that work to encourage normal DHT activity within the hair follicles.

We recommend a minimum 90-day program to start; once you're satisfied with your results, you can start to gradually reduce your dosage. Depending on your situation, you may be able to discontinue use or maintain your beautiful hair with a lower daily dose. Many customers continuing using 3 caps of Hair Essentials every day as part of their self-care routine, because they love the results! 

Some of the most common causes include hereditary hair loss (also known as androgenic alopecia), stress, hormonal changes, menopause, side effects of some medications, thyroid disorders, nutritional deficiencies, immune system issues, allergic reactions, infections, and surgery. Hair Essentials is designed to help your hair loss, no matter the cause.

This ingredient has been shown to inhibit the enzyme that makes DHT, the hormone responsible for the most common type of hair loss. DHT causes the hair follicles to shrink which leads to loss of the hair and weak regrowth. By decreasing the amount and activity of DHT, Saw Palmetto helps reduce hair loss and promotes a healthy environment for hair to regrow.

Traditionally used in Chinese medicine as a longevity tonic and to help reverse gray hair back to its original color, Fo-ti nourishes the body and blood to promote healthy hair growth and strengthen overall vitality. 

By supporting circulation to the scalp, Bu Gu Zhi increases the delivery of nutrients that encourage healthy hair growth. Providing antioxidant action, it is an important herb in both traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda from India.

Traditionally used in Chinese medicine to prevent premature graying, Han Lian Cao supports bodily vitality, including hair health. In Ayurvedic medicine, the leaf extract of Eclipta is considered an excellent overall rejuvenative, especially for the hair.

Bamboo is the richest botanical source of silica. It is also one of the fastest-growing and most sustainable of plants for healthy hair. Silica helps build and maintain connective tissue throughout the body, including hair, skin, and nails. It can improve texture, strength, and sheen of hair.

Like bamboo, horsetail is rich in silica which helps promote stronger hair, skin, and nails. Silica may also help build stronger bones and teeth by improving calcium assimilation in the body.

Contains silymarin, a powerful antioxidant that primarily supports the liver and its many detoxification processes. Studies have shown that milk thistle enhances protein synthesis within the liver, helping it to both repair and actually regenerate new liver cells.

Bran is the outer layer of a rice grain removed during the milling process. Containing over 100 different vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, it is a rich source of vitamin E and moisturizing oleic acid. Rice bran contains amino acids important for creating a strong, healthy hair shaft.

This extract contains high levels of phytonutrients called polyphenols. These antioxidants protect cells, including within the hair follicles, against oxidative stress and damage from free-radicals, allowing for stronger hair growth.

A rich source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 essential fatty acid. GLA helps reduce inflammation within the hair follicles that can lead to damage and hair loss. It helps to moisturize and relieve dry, itchy scalp and skin by regulating sebum (oil) production and improving cell water retention.

Containing alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 essential fatty acid, this oil is an anti-inflammatory and helps maintain the health of the scalp and follicles. Similar to GLA, it also helps  to moisturize the scalp by regulating sebum (oil) production and improving cell water retention.

The extract piperine, from black pepper, has the unique ability to increase the absorption of many nutrients. As more of an ingredient is absorbed and thus made 'bioavailable,' it is able to provide enhanced benefit in our body.

Short for methylsulfonylmethane, MSM is a rich sulfur source that is vital for the structural development of healthy hair and skin. It is a strong complement to the other sulfur-rich ingredients in Hair Essentials, L-cysteine and L-methionine.

Cysteine is an amino acid that helps increase hair shaft diameter as well as density of hair growth. Cysteine plays an important role in protein and fatty acid synthesis, energy production, and the activity of T-cells in the immune system.

This essential amino acid is one of only two sulfur-containing amino acids that our bodies require. It is beneficial for strengthening the nails, encouraging new hair growth, improving flexibility and tone of skin, and helping to clear toxins from the body.

This essential vitamin helps maintain healthy skin, hair, and mucous membranes. vitamin A is an antioxidant that protects cells from free-radical damage. It also reduces bacterial overgrowth in glandular ducts of the skin and scalp, to help decrease sebum (oil) buildup and inflammation.

An excellent free-radical scavenger (antioxidant), vitamin C is an important structural component of collagen, the most abundant protein in connective tissue. Calcium ascorbate is a natural form of vitamin C that is easily absorbed into the bloodstream for maximum benefit.

As d-alpha tocopheryl succinate, this form of vitamin E is considered to be more stable than its other forms. It is a powerful antioxidant that protects the body from free-radicals and works with other antioxidants including vitamins A and C and the mineral selenium.

An important B vitamin, biotin supports the production of scalp oils that ensure a healthy environment for hair to grow. A deficiency of this B vitamin can be associated with alopecia (hair loss). It is very easy to obtain sufficient biotin from the diet or from Hair Essentials.

Iodine helps regulate the production of our thyroid hormones. Amongst its important role in maintaining healthy metabolism, thyroid function affects the hair growth cycle, including how long each stage lasts. The iodine in Hair Essentials is 100% naturally derived from kelp. Kelp is an excellent source of iodine, magnesium, zinc, calcium, and vitamins K and B-complex. 

A powerful antioxidant on its own, the mineral selenium recycles another important antioxidant, vitamin E. It is also necessary for maintaining healthy thyroid gland function. Deficiency of this mineral can occur due to depletion of the soil caused by commercial cultivation techniques.
